There are several problems that affect our world today : crime,
war, overpopulation, ? And pollution is one of the most serious problems. It is growing
every year. More important, pollution, which we are creating, is destroying our sources of
resources. Global warming, oil spills, air pollution,? are resulted from our litter such as
exhausted from economies, broken ships. And we are suffering them : shortage of food,
shortage of water. If we don?t have the suitable way to prevent pollution, the results
won?t stop here.
First, let talk about the supporting of our environment. Since prehistoric appeared, they
have been depended on the environment. Fruits were the main source of food in this age.
After revolutions, in spite of new inventions, we are still harvesting, collecting our food
from fields, seas, which belong to environment. Furthermore, we are breathing the air
made by trees. Our economies are operated by fossil fuels, or other sources of energy
from our environment. In fact, we really need environment, everything surrounding us.
The biggest problem is climate changing and reducing of ozone. Economies keep
on growing and they release the large amount of carbon dioxide, which creates green-
house effect. According to the newest research, world’s temperature increased 0.6 Celsius
degree. And it is estimated to increase from 1.4 Celsius degree to 5.6 Celsius degree in
2100. Besides, CFCs has made the hole of ozone become bigger and bigger.
Non-processed wastes from producing are dumped directly into
rivers and streams. It leads to shortage of clean water over the world, especially in Africa,
the continent with the minimum amount of rain. As the UN noticed, about 1.3 billion
people lack clean water to use. Furthermore, oil spills are destroying ocean step by step.
The abuse of human has made many races extinct, which result in losing a lot of races
and genes. And lacks of food, medical material always goes hand in hand with them.
Unarguably, environment is in the worst mood. But it isn’t too late to act. If we act early
enough, we can prevent the terrible result, which our new generation can suffer. Let act to
make the Earth become better place to live!.
CONSERVATIONIST:
An Environmental Conservationist, which is also known as a conservation scientist, is
an excellent job for anyone who loves nature and wants to preserve all of earth's natural
wonders. As a conservationist you need to, "Find your own ways to make less trash, and
help others to learn how to reduce, reuse, and recycle." (EPA). The job is a hands-on job
which means "spending a major portion of the workday outdoors without regard to
weather." (Easton 35) Though this doesn't seem like a scientific job to most people it is
because it involves calculating the outcome of certain things on the environment. The
purpose of this career is to protect the environment and the people and wildlife that live
in it. The profession of environmental conservationist can be narrowed to certain fields.
"In 2000, the median pay was $47,140" (Easton 90) This is a career
which is neither gender nor location specific. People with this career tend to travel to
where the problem areas are, which is why it isn't location specific. The problem areas
depend on which field someone specializes in. Both men and women hold this job. There
isn't a part of the job which requires either a male or a female to perform its task.
"The annual event, which continues to change the world today, grew
out of one man's frustration with federal government's inattention to environmental
issues. That man was Gaylord Nelson, a Senator from Wisconsin." (Morkes 189) Senator
Nelson proved that one person can get things started. He has inspired thousands. Though
he was the brain child behind Earth Day, he isn't alone in his environmental ideals. There
have been many before and after him, that share the same ideals.
One of the very first environmentalist, and the very first female
environmentalist was Rachel Carson. She lived was born in 1907 and died 6 years before
Senator Nelson's first earth Day. Ms. Carson "helped launch the environmental protection
movement with her book Silent Spring, which changed how many Americans thought
about pesticides." (factmonster.com) After researching this career and finding out as
much as I could about it, this is still the career I would like to have. I would like to
specialize this career into the field of Environmental Racism. I care deeply about the
environment and about preserving our natural recourses.
There are alot of ways we can all save electricity and money, and save a little piece of our
planet while doing so.
1. Replace ALL bulbs in your home with CFL bulbs (the spiral fluorescent bulbs) This
can save you hundreds of dollars a year as well as reducing your energy used from the
power company, which makes you a little more earth friendly!
2 .Use less air conditioning when possible, This can be achieved by turning your a/c off
when your not home (its alot easier to cool a home in 30 minutes than to let the air run for
8 hours while your at work)
3 .Sleep in the dark and quiet! Just by turning the tv and fan off at night you can save
over 100.00 a year!!!!
4.Turn off outside lighting after 1 am, instead of allowing the lights to run for eight or
more hours a night.
5.Keep the refrigerator door closed, and adjust the thermostat to keep it cold, but not
overly cold, try a med-low setting
6. Adjust your hot water heater down to 110 degrees to save money heating water, also
try using as little hot water as possible, washing laundry in cold water, can save you over
200 a year. Also consider using less hot water in the shower by taking a cooler shower or
shortening the time your in. You can also insulate your hot water heater, and water lines,
to make them more energy efficient!
7. Powered down computers when not in use! This is huge, computers suck alot of juice,
and therefore create alot of heat, causing your central air to run more often, costing you
money all the way around.
8. Do not use small electrical devices for lighting (nightlight) or pest control (device that
plugs in and emits a "sound" driving pests out) using these types of devices can raise your
electric bill 10-20 dollars a month.
9. Keep windows covered to prevent light from entering the home during the day, solar
radiation (sunlight) can be your air conditioners worst enemy. Just by using
solar blinds or cutains, or even window tint, you can cut cost's by as much as fifteen
percent!
10. Hang dry your denim! Not only does this prolong the life of your jeans, but taking
just 10 minutes off of a dry cycle can save you a few bucks, PER LOAD!!!
How trees are useful:
1. Food: Trees give us food such as fruits. These provide us with excellent nourishment.
2. Wood: The wood from some trees such as teak, walnut, rosewood and oak is used to
make furniture. Wood from other trees is used as fuel for cooking and for warming
houses.
3. Paper: Paper is made from wood.
4. Medicines: Many trees are the source of useful modern medicines.
5. Shelter: The canopy of leaves and branches gives us shelter.
6. Climate: Trees provide cool shade. Many trees, for example, in a forest, can make the
climate pleasant and the air clean.
7. Rain: Forested areas get better rainfall compared to areas with no tree cover.
8. Oxygen: When trees respire, they release oxygen that all animals need
for their survival.
Benefits of growing more trees:
