This might be beneficial for business, but it is very harmful to the environment and it is crucial that people understand that. I, Maya Patel believe that smartphones are harmful to the environment based on three different reasons. […]
Since the beginning scientists have been pondering ways to dispose of waste so that it does not damage the environment. As of the recent centuries the health of the environment was not considered when disposing of solid and liquid bi-products from the production of energy from fossil fuels. Nearly everything you interact with in the […]

Get startedThere are many things that affect our planet, some being good ways and some being bad. One of the major bad things that affect this planet is air pollution. Air pollution causes so many issues for our planet, and for us as well. Air pollution can cause health issues such as respiratory issues as well […]
While many people have heard of global warming before, not everyone has a clear idea of what it is exactly. According to Amanda MacMillan, an overabundance of gases, mainly carbon dioxide, absorbs the radiation from the sun while it is trying to escape the earth’s atmosphere, causing the heat from the radiation to be confined […]
“Throughout the U.S, sunny skies, heat from the earth, our vast water supply, and powerful winds have the ability to provide a vast and constantly replenished energy resource supply. These distinct sources of renewable energy have the potential to provide all the electricity the nation needs many times over”. These reusable resources are far more […]
“In the United States, 80% of our energy is produced by using fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, and coal) (U.S. Energy Information Administration – EIA – Independent Statistics and Analysis’)” The use of these sources of energy are a concern for multiple reasons. We need to educate the world on what renewable energy is and […]
Though in the past century, we have achieved many accomplishments, such as flying airplanes and building computers and so much more, not everything we have done to this earth has been beneficial. To be more specific, what society has actually ended up doing is harming the earth. Man-made climate change has occurred because of the […]
As the realities of climate change make themselves more and more apparent, so too, does the awareness and the concern of the general public. Unfortunately, despite efforts from the scientific community, and concerned organizations, there are many people who remain skeptical of our true impact on this planet. For those skeptics, renewable energy may appear […]
Every year, there are countless numbers of debates on what should be done about the modern energy crisis. There is also an extra emphasis on what form of energy production is the most efficient, cheapest, and especially what is best for the environment. In the background, a form of energy, containing all of the above […]
American society is vernacularly known for its high consumption and large scale living style. This trend of flamboyant living requires high amounts of energy to support it. According to the US energy information administration, the federal agency tasked with collecting data of energy consumption states that “primary energy consumption in the United States reached a […]
We’ve all heard of fossil fuels, “the product of dead dinosaurs” “the culprits responsible for the greenhouse effect and global warming”, but how much do we really know about its origins and how it came to have such a central role in our daily lives. In this essay, I endeavor to deepen your knowledge of […]
Introduction Greenhouse gases are gases that have been trapped in the Earth and emit radiant energy into the atmosphere. These gases contribute to a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect, which is an important factor that plays a role in the thermal behavior of the Earth. The greenhouse effect is related to the release of […]
Fossil fuels are used in the United States more than anywhere else in the world. Coal, oil, and natural gas are all used daily in ways that some may not realize. For example, RMCMI states that half of the United States electricity is generated by the use of coal and that the U.S uses about […]
Introduction While corporations take advantage of the recent advancements in technology since they have made work easier and efficient, the increased rate of gas emission has been linked to unprecedented implications for societies. Research indicates that just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of the gas emission (Griffin, 2017). Companies have a huge role to […]
The observations that have lead to this research include, the increase of pollution, habitat loss, climate change and overexploitation. To monitor these observations, companies like Planet Labs launch satellites into space to take pictures of Earth every day, and monitor CO2 and other harmful gases using specific cameras and detectors on Earth. Many companies fund […]
I love the place I live, in the heart of Texas. I get to experience all the metropolitan benefits and diverse geography yet I haven’t once been in the path of a twister, earthquake, or wildfire. That being said, I can’t say the same about everyone in this country; and I can’t deny that I […]
Introduction Technology is the process, systematic development, and enhancement of new findings. It involves the methods of performing activities with the use of tools and different techniques to make work easier and more efficient. It has evolved over the years of human existence. The use of technology has in the recent times increased and will […]
