Essays on Environmental Problem

Air pollution can be defined as the act of introducing mixtures of solid particles as well as gases into the environment. Examples of solid molecules or gases entail chemicals, biological materials, as well as particulates. This paper discusses air pollution as an environmental problem within my community. Air pollution affects animals, humans, as well as the environment. Additionally, it affects the health of the environment or that of animals or humans, as well as causes climate change. The paper is set to discuss some mechanisms that can be employed to foster positive environmental actions in curbing air pollution. It ...

The process of exploiting the environment by humans leads to environmental problems. Leon (2012) says that humans treat rivers as sewers by polluting the rivers and disrupting the ecosystem. The process of de-forestation decreases the number of plants that absorb carbon dioxide translating to enormous amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Leon (2012) cites the coal mining industry in pursuit of economic development degrade the environment.

The state of current technology necessitated by the modern culture perpetrates activities that deteriorate the quality of the environment (Leon, 2012).The Biosphere II experiment demonstrates that the atmosphere does not have a ...

Councilman Kraft James who is also the chairman of the judicial and legislative investigations committee has been a frustrated man since 2008. His frustrations accrue to lack of progress in Baltimore despite the many attempts, numerous meetings and set legislature (Tim par3).Tim Wheeler, an environmental reporter in Chesapeake bay, uses Kraft’s James frustrations to describe the real situation in the city. The city has officially been declared as ‘harbor impaired’ by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

If you have not been around the city’s waterfront lately, then you would not know what I’m talking about. ...

A Reflection on the Green International Theory

Introduction This research aims to explore a very important question with regards to environmental stewardship. Do state and state system cause environmental problems? In assessing this issue, we take a good look at the different environmental laws. As it is, environmental issues and environmental stewardships have been universal or global. This is why it has been a major part of the study of international relations (UNEP, 2004). At the fundamental theoretical basis, many scholars posit that state and state systems to address environmental problems and concerns are weak (Wapner, 1995, p. 46). Hence, they suggest distinct government structures to replace ...

Introduction

Haze is an atmospheric phenomenon where smoke, dust, and the other dry particles obscure clarity of the sky. The sources for haze particles are industry, traffic, wildfires, and farming (cultivating in the dry weather). Haze regularly occurs when smoke and dust particles gather in relatively dry air. The industrial pollution can cause dense haze that is called smog. When the weather conditions block dispersal of the smoke as well as other contaminants, they concentrate and form a low hanging shroud, which impairs visibility and may turn into a respiratory health threat. Since the year 1991, haze has actually been a predominantly serious ...

The functional imperatives of Talcott Parsons dominated the field throughout his entire life. Talcott Parson viewed society as a collection of interacting units, organizations and institutions. In his mind, social systems came about to give solution to particular problems in the society. Parson’s main goal was to integrate personality and social systems (Ritzer 1992, 22). According to Parson, any action system, if it is to preserve its equilibrium, it must meet four functional imperatives largely known as AGIL scheme: the function of pattern maintenance, the function of goal attainment, the function of adaptation, and the function of integration. ...

Introduction

Various environmental problems affect the entire world. These environmental problems in reality are the harmful aspects of the human activity on biophysical environment. The major current environmental problems include pollution, climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation among others. It is disturbing to note that various human activities are responsible for the many environmental problems that we face throughout the world. For instance, there are various industrial activities that directly affect the environment. This report focuses on water pollution from the industrial activities in Sydney Harbor, New South Wales.

Commentary One

The response that was provided to the question regarding an example of an environmental problem making energy infrastructure security more difficult was partially correct. According to Brown, Rewey, and Gagliano (2003), the environmental problems are actually categorized into being caused by any of the three energy facilities, such as: the electricity system; petroleum; and natural gas . The problem of air quality was noted under the topic “Energy and Environmental Policies: Interactions with Energy Security” . It is therefore deemed an environmental problem since its effect could be deduced as a health hazard, especially to the people living within a predetermined zone. However, ...

Everyone is well aware that there are many problems in the world, especially when it comes to the natural environment that sustains life on earth. Environmental problem is defined as those negative effects that comes due to lack of sustainability of the quality of the environment required for the well being of all organism living on earth. It can also be defined as burdens that come from human activities that affect the well-being of organism living on earth. These environmental problems affects the ability of the earth to sustain it ability to serve future generation. If not controlled in ...

Rabbits have been the worst invasive species that have been reported in Australia. They have widely spread in Australia leading to a massive destruction of the Australian environment. Rabbits have caused devastating effects on the ecosystem since they are believed to be the main factor in species loss in Australia. They have caused a lot of damages on crops and also destroyed and killed young trees and plants. In addition, rabbits cause serious problems on soil making it unproductive. Rabbits feed on native plants leaving the top soil bare and exposed making the land vulnerable to soil erosion. Rabbits have contributed ...
