People have become aware of consequences of their deeds to the environment. Is it really so essential? I will prove the importance of this fact using an apparently remote example of such a phenomenon. When I remind myself of The Plague, the novel of Albert Camus, I always think about its first chapter. If Oran’s authorities

There is a saying in life that says “Treat others how you would like to be treated.” The human population unfortunately does not feel that concept also pertains to the environment. On the other hand, my group and I have come across an environmental concern that we feel humans are not made aware of. Have you ever heard how medical waste is growing? More than likely, the answer for many people is no, mainly because we are comfortable with the fact that we go to the doctor, and what happens when we

Conservation Letter Dear Community, I truly believe that the new resort that is being proposed should not be built. It will hurt the ecosystem of the phlox moth and many other species. Even though by building a new resort will help the economy, it will destroy the ecosystem and all the species living near it will not be living in peace. I ask my fellow community members to be on my side and help the ecosystem out. There are

Primate Conservation Paper Our closest living relatives, the primates, are slowly going extinct due to our artificial need for an overabundance of resources. The immediate threats to primates in the wild thus far are human activities that disrupt their natural ecological niches. These threats include: deforestation, habitat fragmentation, hunting, live capture for the pet trade, and unethical biomedical research. Although there have been many group activists and researchers who protest as a way

The apparatus used included two identical steel balls, a projectile launcher, and a pendulum. The distance traveled by a ball launched using potential energy stored in a spring was compared to the distance traveled by a ball launched using gravitational potential energy. Also, the ranges of the two launching methods were

many cultural debates around the topic in recent years (Phillips 1999, p. 578). What is ecocriticism? Glotfelty and Fromm (1996, p. 107) defines it in this way: “ecocriticism is the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment”. The definition shows that ecocriticism is a study which is around nature or ecology, which is different from the human world where there are products made by human beings. But what is nature or what is wilderness? There are two different ideas

Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of CO2, the primary contributor to global warming, and other pollutants.

Energy conservation doesn’t differ from efficient energy use, which refers to using less energy for a constant

FREE FALL AND CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY ABSTRACT Free fall is defined as the ideal falling motion of an object that is subject only to the earth’s gravitational field. To prove the law of conservation of energy, the free fall motion of an object can be represented through 3 different analyses; position of the object vs. time, velocity of the object vs. time, and acceleration of the object vs. time. It is observed in this ball toss experiment, at any point during the free fall period,
