It is now evident that as the world has extracted most of the less polluting oil, attentions are now being turned on the kind of oil that leaves the environment with a lot of dirty sludge- oil sands. Oils sands are partially consolidated sandstones or loose sands that contain naturally occurring mixture of clay, sand and water, saturated with extremely viscous and dense form of petroleum that is technically referred to as bitumen.

The panhandle lies on a strip of land that measures approximately 320 kilometers by 160 kilometers (Blaustein et al. 784). This place is highly-regarded in the world because of its rich biodiversity. Few places can compete with the ...

American music, as we know it today, relects the country’s multi-ethnic population. The wide array of genre is a testament to the influence of the various group of people that came and settled in the country and has come to represent the social and cultural identity that became prevalent during certain periods of time.

The first ...

Introduction

Ecologist Stephen Pacala and Professor Robert Socolow have outlined a remarkably clear-cut method to approaching global warming known as stabilization wedges. This theory underlines the fact that global warming may be solved by implementing technologies that reduce the emission CO2 gas (Arnold 12). There is a long list of renewable energy sources including renewable energy power obtained in the form of heat, which is then converted into electricity in a power cycle. In addition, there are other sources of power derived from organized renewable energy sources. In the power obtained from renewable energy, it is possible for the heat to supplement the ...

Introduction

Deep ecology is a phrase coined by a Norwegian philosopher; Arne Naess (1973), into the environmentalism world. It is a modern-day environmental and ecological philosophy branded by its strong advocacy of the intrinsic worth of all living beings without regard of their contributory utility to most if not all of human needs. Similarly, the philosophy embeds its spheres to radically restructure modern human societies simply by pushing more sense to it basic –prior mentioned- course. The argument raised by this principle is quite simple, that the surface natural world is a restrained balance of the more complex internal inter-relationships between organisms, that defines that ...

Ecology is the scientific discipline that brings together facets of other disciplines. It is the study of organisms and their environment and the relationship between the two. In this it overlaps into disciplines such as environmental science and biology among others. R. J. Putman and S. D. Wratten in their book “Principles of Ecology” note that ecology as a term has taken on a number of meanings. “Human ecology” is sometimes used as a political term to describe an individual’s relationship to a society. As the earth is a varied places of numerous and changing environments that hosts millions of diverse and evolving ...
