Introduction In the twenty-first century, planet earth’s environment is in danger of being over-polluted due to the unprecedented large-scale production of plastics and the associated poor disposal practices. Plastics are non-biodegradable, which means when poorly disposed of, they lead to widespread pollution causing harm to human health and the environment...
Introduction Human beings rely on different sources to generate energy for both industrial and domestic use. Some of the common ones include water, natural gas, coal, solar, and nuclear plants. Many emerging and developed economies are currently considering additional solutions that can promote sustainability and protect the natural environment. This...
Pollution caused by cars and other types of transport is a well-known problem connected with the development of modern technology. In Los Angeles and other cities in the United States, high car fuel consumption causes both environmental and health issues. The most cost-effective solution is to replace all cars in...
Abstract Environmental change has both beneficial and severe effects on human well-being. Some effects of environmental change are easy to detect, while others are hard to identify. Studies show that environmental changes result in the establishment of conditions that support deadly diseases. For example, floods encourage the breeding of mosquitoes...
The ultimate aim of many works on e-waste recycling has been to try and find the answer to the question whether recycling matters at all even though it is mandated. With the techniques so seemingly effective and politics nominally having recycling issues under strict control, Graham Pickren asserts that recycling...
Proposal Summary The modern aviation can be considered one of the most fast-growing industries as its strategic significance and importance for economies serve as the potent stimuli for further development. Imports, exports, shipments, tourism, and business also depend on the ability of airlines to function appropriately and meet diverse demands...
Introduction Statistics show that approximately 5 trillion single-use plastic bags are discarded annually, which account for the more than 50% of plastic products produced (Andrady 54). A study conducted in 2016 by researchers at the University of California found out that 1.7 grams of microfibers are released every time a...
Global Ponzi Economy According to Brown According to Brown, a Ponzi economy is an economy that is not self-sustainable due to the dependence on a wider range by investors who plow in their capital, and when the time of payment becomes due, the government experiences a deficit because of the...
Introduction Human activities have increasingly led to global warming due to the greenhouse gas emissions and other factors. Human existence is highly dependent on the changes in environmental patterns, which translates into the transmission of vector-borne diseases such as malaria across central and southern Africa. Climatic changes due to greenhouse...
Response to Kimberly’s Post Using the case of the Indonesian earthquake of 2004, the student has presented meaningful recommendations that can be used after a disaster. The idea of using adequate planning after a disaster can minimize wastes and promote recovery efforts (Reiss-Brennan et al., 2016). The decision of different...
Introduction Nature refers to the surroundings and external conditions that influence the way living organisms grow and develop. For humankind, nature influences the way they live, work and interact with the living and the non-living. Human beings do not exist in isolation; they require support from the rest of the...
Climate change has been one of the central topics in mass media for more than four decades. Still, the opinion of scientists traditionally varies and remains skeptical when it comes to evaluating the real consequences of global warming. On the other side, some small changes known as the greenhouse effect...
Introduction At the turn of the 21st century, the global development agenda introduced the element of climate change and global warming. It was noted that economic activities and other human undertakings were affecting the environment negatively. Scientists believe that the toxics and other waste products released by industries are responsible...
Introduction Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) post-2015 agenda was an outcome of deliberations by the global society, through the United Nations, to try and find ways of addressing socio-economic and environmental challenges following the expiry of the Millennium Development Goals (Sovacool & Drupady, 2016). The global society realized that in the...
With the growing environmental change awareness, more nongovernment organizations engage in the development and environmental campaigns. These campaigns pursue two essential goals. First, they are intended to educate the public about the severity and irreversible consequences of environmental change. Second, they deliver important information on how communities can promote positive...
Global Warming is a process that points out an increase in approximate temperature in different spots of Earth. This is caused due to two factors that are responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases. Causes and effects of global Warming bear in present days an equivocal character. The number of...
Introduction Natural disasters, especially hurricanes and tropical storms, are becoming increasingly frequent. Researchers believe that the increasing frequency of these weather patterns is a result of climate change. Climate change has led to an increase in precipitation worldwide (Alexander, 2018). It makes it easier for tropical cyclones to form as...
Introduction Given its significant impact on the planet’s ecosystems and biodiversity, global warming and climate change are crucial issues in biology (Fordham et al., 2020). Due to its broad ramifications for both natural habitats and human society, this topic particularly interests me. The effects of climate change impact numerous ecosystems...
Introduction Environmental history is a dynamically developing field of historiography. It is characterized by intensive institutionalization processes, lively discussions about conceptual foundations, and the search for specific research tools. Most works focus on the 19th and 20th centuries, the time of manufactured disasters and the development of mass environmental movements. Environmental...
Causes of Greenhouse Gas Emissions During UEFA The UEFA European Championships, a renowned football tournament, celebrates sports and is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. The environmental implications of such a grand event are diverse, originating from several areas, including transportation, stadium energy consumption, and waste production. Transportation Transportation...
Introduction As the world continues to grapple with environmental issues, the debate over the protection of wildlife versus the needs of human beings has become more contentious. Some argue that all aspects of the environment, including non-essential wildlife, must be protected for the sake of the planet’s overall health and...
Humans are simultaneously a product and a shaping force of their environment. A significant body of research exists to determine and evaluate how humans have interacted with each other and their environment throughout centuries (Peoples & Bailey, 2017). In their works, Ferguson (2021), Meskel (2018), and Hodder (2018) discuss different...
In today’s waste management systems, landfills are a necessary component, but if they are not adequately planned, managed, and monitored, they can also pose serious environmental and health problems. One of the biggest landfills in the United States is the Sunshine Canyon Landfill. However, like many other landfills, the Sunshine...
