Human beings should treat animals as living things with their goals and interest. While consciousness between species is ever equal between two different species, human beings should recognize the animals have dignity, and our value system should take that into consideration for pets and livestock. Outside of an ethical question, meat diets are more taxing on the environment those vegetarian diets. Another question in human treatment of animals is how animals should be treated in experimental situations and what species of animals should be used.
For much of human consideration, ethics was not a discipline that extended human compassion ...

The Importance of an Emergency Management Plan: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery

It may not come as a surprise to say that, as humans reach out in search of food and shelter, it is the environment around them that is being abused. As man’s needs grow, so too does the pressure on the environment grow, as a result of which, an ecological imbalance is created unconsciously. And once an ecological imbalance occurs, a series of events are triggered that culminates in large scale loss of life and property. There is no doubt the importance the environment has on life on this planet, but man himself, pressed for space, finds no other option but ...

The service wastes such as delays in those customers may wait for long before delivery, duplication of data in that one has to re-enter or repeat filling in of forms, and unclear communication that promotes seeking of clarification, wasting time in locating a service provider, ...

In today’s business world, supply chain may be stretched out across the globe in order to provide the customer with the product at the lowest cost and highest quality. The supply chains are, therefore, exposed to factors that can create chaos and disruption. Peck in 2006 suggested the different level of risks in the supply chain. Level one is the value stream/product process; level 2 is assets and infrastructure dependencies, level 3 is organization and inter-organizational networks and level 4 is the environment.
Each level reflects quite different perspectives, but they together cover elements of the supply ...

Abstract

This paper explores the politics of environmental carbon reduction as it proves how market based instruments are hampered by political considerations, particularly in the case of reducing greenhouse gas emission. Environmental problems pressure national and global organizations, especially of climate change, Greenhouse gas emission is taken as a major solution to this problem. As the main argument, this essay proposes that market based instruments are very attractive as a solution to the environmental problems in carbon production but only in theory. In actual applications, they are usually hindered by political concerns. Politics is the baseline framework in environmental policy making and ...

Anthropogenic climate change is the production of greenhouse gases by human activities. These activities interfere with the chemical composition of the earth’s atmosphere by adding more harmful chemicals to the atmosphere. Examination of the polar ice cores by the scientists convince them that the increased human activity has led to an increase in the proportion of greenhouse gases. This increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has skyrocketed within the past years. Reports released by various climatic organizations confirm that the postindustrial rise in greenhouse gases does not come from natural mechanisms but from human activity. The most ...

Introduction Increasing public awareness on eco-friendly burials would benefit the world as a whole by preserving nature. An environmentally friendly burial system should be implemented in North America in order to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional burials. In the article “'Til Death Do We Pollute, and Beyond” the authors argue that the best way to ensure human burials are not hazardous to the environment is to “establishment of federal guidelines” that ban the practice of situating cemeteries on sites where there is a risk of contaminating the surrounding area (Guttman, Miller, & Watson, 2013, p. 3). Many environmentally conscious organizations have brought ...

People have a unique quality of destroying everything that is precious to them. The most precious things that they have are nature and inimitable species that inhabit it. Unlike animals people are used to killing not only for purposes of nourishment, but also for the sake of entertainment. If not killed, animals get caught only for them to be placed in cramped cages well beyond their natural habitat. Thousands of species end up being exterminated for jewelry, souvenirs or being kept in captivity for life in places, such as amusement and theme parks, private and public zoos. Human authoritarian regime ...

What is Global Warming

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is a technique of generating fractures in rocks through injecting liquid into the cracks to open them further. The technique entails mixing water with sand and chemicals and injecting the mixture into a wellbore under high pressure to generate fractures. The technique is commonly applied in wells for tight gas, shale gas, coal seam gas, and tight oil as well as hard rock wells. Currently, more than 60% of gas and oil wells globally are hydraulically fractured (The Network for Public Health Law, 2013). Fracking is has various impacts including environmental-related negative outcomes, and dangers ...

Riis’s idea of housing reforms as a means of producing a moral environmentalist strategy to the poor living in urban is ideal.

For instance, one room housed five families and twenty persons of both sexes (Riis 17). There was an increased of young criminals who were victims of a decrease in housing facilities and harmful environment. Similarly, overcrowded lodgings and houses brought up the ...

Global climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Between the excessive consumption of non-renewable resources that many industrialized nations are guilty of and the growing environmental problems of waste management, the environment of the planet has been changed completely. Whether or not this change is reversible is still debated by scientists; one thing that is for certain, however, is that if care is not taken by everyone on the planet, the changes that have occurred in the past few hundred years will become permanent. Reducing the carbon footprint of every individual and company on ...

For the past few decades, people – from the citizens to the scientific community – would often comment that the world continues to change. Weather patterns become erratic, daily temperatures often alternate from hot to cold, and the scarcity of resources becomes more prominent in various areas in the globe.

The public had been divided on who or what to blame regarding the current situation of the planet, however, many are currently leaning towards the ...

The world has been facing extreme weather events due to global warming such as wildfires in Yosemite Park and floods in Colorado. Wildfires are not new to California but the strength of recent fires caused people to evacuate their homes. In Colorado a flood recently required helicopters to evacuate people living in the mountains. Homes are lost, people are displaced and emergency organizations are under stress. Clearly something needs to be done to improve the situation. A goal of countries around the world is to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases that enter the atmosphere causing global warming to become ...

The typical definition of biodiversity, also referred to as biological diversity, is the variability as well as a variety among living organisms, and the ecological complexes in which they take place (Coulston & Riitters, 2005). It may be considered in a hierarchical structure where degrees include species, genes, communities, populations, landscapes, and ecosystems. With no detailed information on actual diversity, there is a suggestion that protection of a community of plants may be a substitute for protection of the diversity of constituents linked to that community. Put differently, protecting a community of plants also offers protection to the species, genes, as well as populations inside that ...

Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and John Locke (1632-1704) lived during the Pre-Enlightenment period. However, their philosophies influence and in fact introduced the Enlightenment period.

The debate of nature versus nurture is concerned with the relative importance of the innate qualities (nativism) that are possessed by an individual against personal experience (behaviorism) in the determination of differences that are witnesses in a person both in physical as well as in behavioral traits (Cherry). The use of the phrase "Nature versus nurture" was started by Francis Galton in the discussion how hereditary and environment influence social advancement. However, the debate is dated back in the days of Plato who lived between 428 and 348 B.C.E and who had a belief that intelligence capability and morality traits are ...

There is a high demand for gas in the United States. Due to this high demand, many gas and oil companies have developed a new process of drilling natural gas. This process is known as Hydraulic Fracturing. Hydraulic Fracturing refers to the process of drilling horizontally by injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals- in high rate of concentration or pressure- into rocks as a means of creating new fissures for extracting gas and oil. This process of drilling is applied in difficult-to-reach areas. The technique was developed to stimulate oil production from wells, especially in declining oil reservoirs. However, improvement in ...

Since the discovery that fossil fuels have a great impact to the issue of global warming throughout the globe, experts and governments have tried and tested several “possible” alternative energy sources that can sustain the global demand. From solar power to biofuels, the argument continued on as to which of these alternatives would benefit the globe the most and have lesser impact to the environment. One of the hot topics in terms of the best alternative power source is the use of nuclear energy as a power source. Opposition to its use have already been raised with the capacity of nuclear ...

The concept of gender and how gender roles are defined and constructed, in a way fit into the bigger nature versus nurture debate. Over the years, research as well as numerous inquiries, have been launched in an attempt to establish whether or not gender and accompanying gender roles are usually predetermined by an individual’s genes or by society’s construction of gender. The debate, takes on a different dimension when one considers that the main physical difference actually comes about due to biology, raising questions over exactly where the role played by biology or genetics towards the concept of gender ...

A number of people are usually oblivious of what it took to produce the products or even services they consume. An even greater number are unaware of the potential effects of these costs, as well as the origin of these items that they consume. The ecological footprint concept therefore attempts to address this lack of concern that stems mainly from ignorance. It is based on this concept of ecological footprint that the concept of calculating the social footprint concept arises. However, unlike the ecological footprint, the social footprint concept is a bit more philosophical, as it holds that all human ...

Education plays a principal role in all fields of social life. Whether one will be able to secure a reputable job, acquire wealth or gain some enviable social status depends on how educated they are (Alfie 1). As a matter of fact, educated people are held in high regard by the society. There is something about education, which brings an aspect of respect and some fear among the unlearned lot. A person that is not learned will not feel secure competing with the learned individual. The literate, as the learned people are known as and the illiterate are two different social classes. ...
