Introduction Supporting sustainability and environmental programs is one way for manufacturers to show consumers that they listen to their needs and care about them. And consumers pay with gratitude: they associate socially responsible brands with high quality, uniqueness, naturalness, and support for local production. Citizens around the world support the...
I agree with your statement that global warming has many consequences, and a few of them were listed in National Geographic’s video. Besides, multiple evidence-based scientific discoveries emphasize the importance of addressing the climate crisis urgently. As the population grows globally, industries that serve and feed them enforce production and...
The book The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability – Designing for Abundance by McDonough and Braungart is a famous sequel to their previous book Cradle to Cradle. The Upcycle presents the authors’ innovative view on how humankind should interact with nature for mutual benefit. In particular, McDonough and Braungart affirmatively state that...
Prohibiting the manufacturing and usage of plastics will endanger human health and environmental sustainability. Once the plastics were devised by the Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin in 1959, they were intended to become a better solution to paper bags considered awful for the ecosystem by cutting down trees and preventing...
Modern science is actively arguing that human activity extensively damages the environment. That results in climate change, global warming, and an increase in natural disasters. One of the underexplored disasters is the human impact on seismic activity. Gibbens (2017) suggests that people often perceive earthquakes as unforeseeable phenomena they cannot...
Renewable energy can be defined as the sustainable, clean source of energy derived from naturally occurring resources. The main elements constituting this definition are sustainable, clean, and natural. Sustainable implies that the source can be regenerated over and over again without depletion. Cleanliness, which is the main force behind the...
Introduction The past two centuries have been characterized by increased cases of deforestation, pollution, and destruction of the ozone layer. Within the same period, several challenges have been recorded at the global level. Some of them include changing climatic conditions and global warming. Many scholars have predicted that the global...
Introduction Global anthropogenic activities, manifested in industrial and agricultural initiatives and innovative technological solutions, have become one of the main causes of massive water pollution. This topic has been discussed by ecologists and other stakeholders for decades, and every year, the issue is raised more and more acutely. Large reservoirs...
Abstract Air pollution has been an increasingly major problem affecting the economy, people’s health, and the environment. Emission resulting from motor vehicle combustion, industries, bushfires, and dust are the major causes of outdoor air pollution, also known as ambient air pollution. Combustion of these fuels emits carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, particulate...
Introduction A growing population and climate change have put enormous pressure on the earth’s scarce natural resources. Agriculture relies heavily on water and soil, which are essential natural resources. Natural resources are deteriorating due to anthropogenic and detrimental biological activities. Soil degradation is among the most severe threats to water...
By the beginning of the 21st century, it has become apparent that the harmonious existence of humanity is inextricably linked to the improvement of existing energy technologies. In everyday life, the individual tends to have a constant dependence on various kinds of artificial energy. This ranges from the daily charging...
Introduction Water is a colorless and odorless liquid that forms the main component of the Earth’s streams, lakes, and oceans. It forms about 71% of the Earth’s total mass; thus, it is an essential commodity in the biosphere. Being a solvent, it can assist in supporting life in both plants...
The Problem The problem of plastic waste in the UAE is a significant ecological issue regarding plastic pollution and the safe disposal of waste products. Despite the efforts to use alternative materials and the recent developments in biodegradable plastics, the situation is still not ideal. Plastic waste has a severe...
Introduction In chapter one, the researcher introduced the reader to the proposed study. Several aspects of the proposed study were highlighted. These included the research design, the research questions to be addressed and such other things. In this chapter, the researcher will provide the reader with a critical review of...
Deforestation is one of the most urgent environmental problems in the 21st-century world. It refers to “the indiscriminate cutting of forest trees to satisfy man’s immediate needs” (Aba et al., 2017, p. 12696). These economic needs include but are not limited to agricultural work, urban expansion, livestock overgrazing, and exploitation...
One of the world’s most preferred fossil fuel is natural gas. Experts believe that the energy has the potential of becoming the world’s number one in the coming decades. In its structure, natural gas has varied composition, which makes it more expedient. Principally, consumers have been receiving methane that contains...
The Amur Leopard (scientific name: Panthera pardus Orientalis, common names Far East leopard, Manchurian leopard or Korean leopard, the latter because some are supposed to inhabit North Korea.), subject of the video in this critique, bears the dubious distinction as the world’s most endangered of the great cats for being...
Climate change is now occupying the minds of not only scientists but also politicians, entrepreneurs, and ordinary citizens. Fluctuations of the Earth’s climate, expressed in statistically reliable deviations of weather parameters from long-term values for the last hundred years, cause serious fears. While many researchers have remarked the primary role...
Introduction The issues of the environment and the interaction of humans with nature are the topics of different humanitarians’ works. The assessment of natural resources available to humans takes place in conditions complicated by high anthropogenic activities. The works of Wangari Maathai and Norman Ernest Borlaug are considered, in particular,...
The World Health Organization has found that the yearly global death toll of environmental degradation amounts to thirteen million, which is 24% of the global disease burden and 23% of all premature deaths (“Environmental health,” 2018).
