Introduction With the expanding threat of climate change due to the excessive release of emissions of carbon, many individuals are looking into solar options as more sustainable alternatives to replace traditional fossil fuels. Of all available options for clean energy, solar has been the most expensive, even though their increased...
Climate change has been going on for several decades and is caused by a gradual increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. Scientists predict terrible catastrophes if this temperature rises by 2°C in the next 50 years, after the current increase of 1°C over the past 100 years (Sultan...
Introduction The build-up of synthetic plastic products in the surroundings to the extent where they constitute a threat to wildlife, and their habitats and humankind is referred to as plastic pollution. Plastics can be classified either in primary plastics, for instance, cigarettes butts, bottle caps, or secondary plastics, that is,...
Introduction The impact of human activities on the environment is a commonly discussed theme in modern society. Although people understand how dangerous and provocative their actions and decisions are to nature, they cannot stop putting animals under threat of extinction.

Humans’ interaction with nature is built upon two profound perspectives that threaten the life of one another. The first perspective ingrained in our thought system is that the earth changes with infinite slowness when rapidly changing because of our alterations. Secondly, humans consider themselves to be smaller compared to the...
Introduction Changes in climate patterns are influenced by the advancement of research and innovative characteristics. Science, technology, and society are examined in depth in the paper and how the general public sees the course’s subject matter. It is being discussed how science and technology’s dynamic elements are linked with a...
In the course of the development of civilization, humanity has repeatedly encountered complex problems, sometimes of planetary nature. However, still, this was distant prehistory, a kind of incubation period of modern global problems. They became fully apparent in the second half and especially in the last quarter of the twentieth...
The onset of a disaster prompts the nation or region affected to depend on the emergency response team. Various types of disasters usually are grouped into two different main categories, which are natural disasters and man-made disasters (Jackson et al., 2004). Naturally occurring disasters are physical phenomena caused by geophysical,...
Green technologies are dominating the global community’s discussion of sustainable energy generation. Renewable energy sources, with solar energy being one of the most feasible and affordable, are being supported and invested into by governments to instigate a new environment-friendly technology for sustainable energy (Iravani et al., 2017). One of the...
Introduction The United Nations set a goal for countries to limit the universal standard temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial level through their climate change agreement, which was signed within the 2015 Paris Agreement (Aronoff et al., 2019). According to Obergassel et al. (2016), this agreement will...
Sustainability is about the balance between three main structures, which are environment, equity, and economy. Sustainability also implies that people’s necessary material things for survival depend on the natural environment (United States Environmental Protection Agency [US EPA], n.d.). It means living in such conditions that will provide for future generations...
Climate change is among the most discussed topics in a variety of fields, as it has overarching effects on many aspects of human life. Global health is likely to be among these factors, as well, as many people now live in different environments than what they are used to. The...
Introduction Restaurants have different types of menus that customers choose from depending on their tastes and preference. Before reaching the plate, the ingredients undergo several steps, such as harvesting, transportation, and cooking. During this process, there are several environmental impacts associated with them. Chilean sea bass, also known as Patagonian...
Introduction Technological advancement and innovative solutions in a variety of industries worldwide drive the business trends. However, significant environmental concerns contribute new demands to the technological and business discourse by necessitating the implementation of innovative solutions to facilitate environment-friendly technologies. Indeed, the opportunities for innovation have created a unique setting...
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...
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: Overview of the Hurricane The apocalyptic scenes following the destruction caused by one of the biggest disasters in American history, the 2005 Hurricane Katrina, were a direct reflection of the U.S. government’s failure to prepare for and respond to such a natural hazard. The Hurricane came from the coast...
Global warming remains to be one of the human-induced environmental issues affecting society today. Warming of the earth’s surface happens once carbon dioxide and other air pollutants accumulate in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight. Due to these toxic substances, which can remain in the environment for years to centuries, heat...
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.
