What is the most serious environmental problem associated with thermonuclear energy generation?

it is radioactive waste, but what the radioactive waste is producing is thermal pollution.



If the libtards would ever quit litigating against the government this waste could be stored in the Yucca Mountain Depository. Instead it's sitting in mostly unsecured surface cooling ponds all over the country.What is the most serious environmental problem associated with thermonuclear energy generation?long term, 100 years+, it is radioactive waste



the problem with building them now is the huge amounts of concrete and materials used to shield the reactor, contributing to CO2 and resource extraction problems.

What are the environmental problems or human activities which r degrading kailashnath?

ways to protect any monument, need to protect them, how are they getting destroyed??What are the environmental problems or human activities which r degrading kailashnath?Simple!



Its our increasing population,and our ever increasing pollution of CO2 in the air that is causing the Global Warming, and thats why North and South Poles Ice bergs are melting, and same thing is happening with Kailashnath.



And the only solution is Public Awareness, less population, clean air energy and transportation technologies, more trees and less Industrialization.



The question remains, How can we achieve this? What will you do as your part?

I would say global warming is the biggest problem our world is facing. Here's some info from http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/glob鈥?/a>



The greenhouse effect is unquestionably real and helps to regulate the temperature of our planet. It is essential for life on Earth and is one of Earth's natural processes. It is the result of heat absorption by certain gases in the atmosphere (called greenhouse gases because they effectively 'trap' heat in the lower atmosphere) and re-radiation downward of some of that heat. Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, followed by carbon dioxide and other trace gases. Without a natural greenhouse effect, the temperature of the Earth would be about zero degrees F (-18掳C) instead of its present 57掳F (14掳C). So, the concern is not with the fact that we have a greenhouse effect, but whether human activities are leading to an enhancement of the greenhouse effect.

Top of Page Are greenhouse gases increasing?



Human activity has been increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (mostly carbon dioxide from combustion of coal, oil, and gas; plus a few other trace gases). There is no scientific debate on this point. Pre-industrial levels of carbon dioxide (prior to the start of the Industrial Revolution) were about 280 parts per million by volume (ppmv), and current levels are about 370 ppmv. The concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere today, has not been exceeded in the last 420,000 years, and likely not in the last 20 million years. According to the IPCC Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES), by the end of the 21st century, we could expect to see carbon dioxide concentrations of anywhere from 490 to 1260 ppm (75-350% above the pre-industrial concentration).What are various environmental problems our world is facing?Major and serious problem is Global warming.What are various environmental problems our world is facing?

First the old ones:



Acid Rain - This one seems to have disappeared from the vogue over the decades. It was an early 70's issue and the polluters causing it have largely cleaned up their act.



Love Canal, Lake Erie, Sydney Tar Ponds - more classics from yesterday. Not all problems are fixed, but progress has been made.



Global Warming - This one has been the flavor of the month for years now, since before The Day After Tomorrow in 2004, but has really taken the front seat since then. Thanks Al.



Ozone Depletion - The issue came up in the 80's and the reality is now.

Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?

The rituals of many religions require animal sacrifice or "bali".Unlike Jains and buddhists, Hindus, christians and muslims do eat flesh. Is it true that obsolete religious practices are destroying the environment? Or does religion help to conserve the nature? Do attach references to your answers as much as possible. Also quote the holy books (Veda, Purana, quran etc) and scriptures to substantiate your response.



Thanks for your time.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?The christian bible clearly states that the original diet of mankind was fruits and grains. After sin entered the world God allowed man to consumed the flesh of animals (those that were cleaned) as their constitution was altered (both of man and beast). Nevertheless, now that we are close to the kingdom of heaven, we are encouraged to return to our original diet, mainly because of the corrupt condition of animals due to disease and man′s chemical food they give to them. But diet is not the only thing causing corruption upon the world, the poor spiritual condition of man and his desires for power and riches is the root of all evil.

You may wish to read "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness" at:



http://www.philipadilla.waju.mxDoes religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?
I do not agree with animal sacrifice. But, the eating of animals is another story, it helps to regulate over-population, over-population creates disease by nature. What creates environment destruction, greed of money, war, hiding technology and or using it detrimental to moving forward for the purpose of preservation. Scriptures ? It says to mind your own concerning meat eaters or vegetarians, neither is wrong. As far as spiritual goes, before the Europeans landed on this Continent, wildlife flourished in bounty, it was well regulated by the Native Americans, they were great stewards of nature. As far as quoting scriptures, I just did.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?Only Christianity and Judaism cite animal sacrifice as pleasing to their respective 'gods'. In fact the bible states many times that the smell of burning flesh is pleasing to 'god'. LHP religions (with the exception of voodoo in Africa) advocate harmony with nature and caring for animals.



I don't know enough about Islam to comment but here is my source for the comments about Christianity:



www.exposingchristianity.com



Numbers 18:17-19

Thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?
religion is the biggest lie on the face of this earth. all of it is man-made ideologies and predetermined patterns of behavior that helps scare sad, lonely people to lock onto nonsense so they feel like they're apart of something.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?I have no environmental problems in my butchery, The potted plants are flowering nicely, and I have pest control measures in place. The animals have sacrificed their lives accordingly.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?
Being a vegan atheist for moral and green reasons, I could easily say yes.



But I wont, I say for this that it is the people.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?
People are nasty animals. Religion neither caused nor can cure that.
NO AND ANYBODY CAN COOK ANIMALS FOR FOOD and we love trees..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_env鈥?/a>What are some environmental problems brought by population?Water, Air, Noise pollution, Excessive CO2 in the atmosphere, Global warming...



Face it, all the environtmental problems are CAUSED by us.What are some environmental problems brought by population?
if it is over-population, more people will be needing stuff, of course, we all know where it comes from, the they just throw the stuff anywhere, dirtying the citiesWhat are some environmental problems brought by population?Are you asking about human overpopulation?



It is fashionable to blame all the environmental ills of modern society on human overpopulation, but the truth is that humans, even in tiny numbers can have profound effects on their environments. Even so called primitive peoples do NOT live "in harmony with nature" -- that is just a utopian myth. History is full of examples of small, primitive societies causing environmental devastation.



Humans whereever they are and in whatever numbers cause environmental changes through agriculture, pollution of land and water, industrialization, destruction of habitat and wildlife, etc. These issues are made worse by larger numbers of humans but they are not caused by larger numbers per se.What are some environmental problems brought by population?
actually there is no environmental problem caused by population...it will only affects our environment if population will be accompanied by the adj. "over"..there will be water,soil,noise, and whatever pollution we have today...

over population "may" increase the intensity of green house effect (just an opinion)... because i believe that more people, means more mind, means more innovation that could ruin our environment. hope this helps.

Can pesticides cause environmental problems?

Many of the problems caused by pesticides are environmental. "Pesticides" is a generic term that refers to herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides, termiticides, etc etc...Human health aspects are probably looked at the most, and environmental aspects the least.



Specific environmental problems can include bioaccumulation (meaning they are biomagnified up the food chain), and non-target toxicity (killing fish, invertebrates that feed fish, killing beneficial insects that keep pests down, killing birds, killing algae that feed the food chain, etc.). They oftentimes have unlooked for effects such as DDT making the shells of birds very frail.



A strange way that pesticides can harm the environment is by the so-called "inert" ingredients that EPA doesn't even test for toxicity. The most famous (right now) case of that is a surfactant in Round-up (glyphosate) that harms frogs and all sorts of other non-target organisms). It's weird that we apply these poisons and don't realize that they don't just kill what we want them too....



Anywho, yes, pesticides *are* causing environmental problems and email me if you want more specifics.Can pesticides cause environmental problems?Yes indeed.Can pesticides cause environmental problems?Yes. Pesticides can contaminate soil and water and many of them carry such warnings on their labels. In agricultural areas in New York State and around the country, drinking water wells have been closed due to pesticide contamination of groundwater. When it rains, pesticides are carried by storm drains into streams and rivers, where they can kill small plants and animals that fish depend on for food. Pesticides can also poison fish and wildlife. As discussed above, diazinon has killed ducks, geese and other water fowl. There is substantial evidence that it also has killed song-birds.Can pesticides cause environmental problems?Yes they can. That's why they're controlled and dangerous.

Will technology solve most of the world's problems?

Many people are concerned about the world's environmental problems. Maybe sometime in the far future, however, we will be able to manipulate matter in such a way that we can quickly and easily reduce greenhouse gasses and pollutants by using the molecules for useful materials. Advances in genetic engineering has the potential to restore balance to the ecosystem, and effectively eliminate disease. This is already done in the farming industry and already could eliminate world hunger. The list goes on and on, and I won't be surprised if some day the problems we face will be only economic and social. Even the problem of war is complicated, because technology, specifically the internet, has reduced a lot of conflict throughout the world. If everyone spoke one language and had access to the internet, it's possible it would reduce another tenfold.

Thoughts?Will technology solve most of the world's problems?First, you must answer the question, how many problems are there?



Then, we must see that technology and progress only cover up true human nature. We will always be human: making mistakes and doing wrong.



Technology will exist for as long as humans exist, i can guarantee that. Technology can solve many of the practical problems in the world.Will technology solve most of the world's problems?
technology is a destroyer of space and balance and quality look at the road kill in space see and hear the balance and water and air is filled with the residue on the quality of all life's needsWill technology solve most of the world's problems?Technology is not that old and it may not last forever. Actually, technology is creating more problems than it solves. The answer maybe in someting other than technology.Will technology solve most of the world's problems?
Technology has consistently compounded the worlds problems. As technology has increased, it has become possible for more people to be killed more quickly.Will technology solve most of the world's problems?Technology may have made life a little easier but it's been terribly abused and has caused many problems.

India has significant and difficult agrarian, environmental, and land use problems. Name several of these.?

In what ways do these problems represent legacies of several different periods of India's history?India has significant and difficult agrarian, environmental, and land use problems. Name several of these.?I know the farmers are struggling with a loss of water due to extraction by the Coca Cola drinks company, and there is conflict between town/industry development creeping into farm land and wildlife reserves. I suspect the overcrowding and pollution are factors too.



I only answered this one as no-one else had - sorry my knowledge of this area is so scant.

Which kind of political interests could be involved into the environmental problem?

AND what is the political interest normally?

Thanks!Which kind of political interests could be involved into the environmental problem?Environmental issues can be big money. GE has made millions with their wind farms and politicians are making money too. Green is big money for liberals.Which kind of political interests could be involved into the environmental problem?Follow the money. The environmental movement is nothing more than attorneys lining their pockets. The Sierra Club is mostly attorneys. Greenpeace is mostly attorneys.



The current movement to give the Earth "rights" like humans is pushed by, you guessed it, attorneys.



It's all about money, money, money..........Which kind of political interests could be involved into the environmental problem?All the money that the left wing radicals have embezzled is Just chump change if they can get Cap and Trade put into law.

Is there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?

Many. Burning coal is a crude way of making electricity. In the US, it's being used less and less. A problem is China, which is building many coal burning power plants.



Coal contains impurities such as sulfur and mercury. When burned sulfur dioxide and mercury vapor are emitted, which are very bad. Sulfur dioxide is regulated, but still causes some problems. Mercury is not regulated.



But the biggest problem is that, per watt of energy, coal burning power plants emit more greenhouse gas than any other form of energy. You can see what that's doing to our environment here:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Clima鈥?/a>



http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNe鈥?/a>



There is a natural "carbon cycle" that recycles CO2. But it's a delicate balance and we're messing it up.



Look at this graph.



http://scrippsco2.ucsd.edu/graphics_gall鈥?/a>



The little squiggles are nature doing its' thing. CO2 falls a bit during summer when plants are active, and rises during the winter. The huge increase is us, burning fossil fuels (in addition to the shape of the graph, the increase numerically matches the increase in fossil fuel use). The scientists can actually show that the increased CO2 in the air comes from burning fossil fuels by using "isotopic ratios" to identify that CO2. The natural carbon cycle buried carbon in fossil fuels over a very long time, little bit by little bit. We dig them up and burn them, real fast. That's a problem.



Man is upsetting the balance of nature. We need to fix that.Is there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?s sir environmental problem is caused near the coal indutries as coal produces small particles of fly dust moves on

if u go and reach out to any coal plant station u could see they have been transporting with open source so check out u may find some dust getting in to ur eyes it wil be very very minute particleIs there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?
The problem is in the peoples mind as the coal powered plants are all over New Mexico ,and they don't produce as much pollution as the gas powered plants we have in Texas. They have scrubbers on there chimneys.Is there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?r u sure?Is there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?
Oh yes certainly coal based power plants burn fossil fuel i.e. coal which emits many gases which in turn increase green house effect. This helps in rise in temperature i.e. induces global warming. So even coal based plants increase changhes in climatic conditions. Keeping this in mind more and more countries are going in for nuclear based power plants which acording to scientists is safer.



We should try to reduce all fossile fuel based plants at the earliest.Is there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?Yes........coal based thermal power plant produces poisonous gases like carbon monoxide,carbon dioxide,methane and also sulphur dioxide........so i guess these power plant also spread environmental pollution.
yes ...coal Scraps which burn for millions and millions of years which causes a severe air pollution when these coal scraps are not treated properly it will cause severe damage to the enviornmentIs there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?
YES, there is as the waste materials dumped into water which is causing ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Coal has to burn, in thermal plants, so there will be pollution but it is not as bad as petrol burning or other nitrogen, carbon monoxide,sulpherdioxide, etc emitting factories or industries.

In millions of Indian houses, "Diyas" (lamps of edible oil), will be burning day and night as it is supposed to be good omen to let the lamp burn always in low midle class houses to highest class houses, especially if there are old ladies who believe in such superstitions. When my mother in law died, the first thing I gave to my servant was all those lamps she cherished to burn.

But these lamps and coals emit only CO2 which is not extremely bad. But when they burn all over in temples, grave yards, homes, churches etc, they may be causing sufficient damage to environmentIs there environmental problems in Coal based Thermal Power Plant?
Modern plants with exhaust scrubbers burn relatively cleanly. They emmit CO2 which is, of course, a naturally occuring gas that has no environmental impact.
They are a major source of CO2 which is believed to be a cause of global warming.



I also think that they produce CO

I cannot make a decision and need to get started, what do you think would be a good choice and why?I have to write my final paper over an environmental problem such as air pollution, overpopulation, water?Well of course, do whichever one you feel more strongly about. But I'd personally do the energy conservation one. There is tons of information online and in magazines about it. I don't think it would be hard to write about at all. I definitely wouldn't do the overpopulation one. That would be pretty hard to write a report on in my opinion.I have to write my final paper over an environmental problem such as air pollution, overpopulation, water?Here's a suggestion: the US has a vast supply of natural gas, enough to get us to the next century.

Government vehicles, school busses in certain areas, and other agencies use natural gas to power their transportation sources. Why has the auto industry ignored this cheap fuel alternative? It would lower our dependence on foreign oil. It would create another industry in service centers for re-fueling, conversion of existing internal combustion engines to natural gas. Existing stations could have access to government assistance in the conversion from fossil fuels to natural gas. Where is the Congress on this? the oil companies? the public? the lobbyists? the Middle East suppliers? What are the benefits/detriments of natural gas as a fuel?



Just a suggestionI have to write my final paper over an environmental problem such as air pollution, overpopulation, water?If you talk about water you can discuss the pacific garbage patch, most people don't know it exists and its a HUGE amount of garbage (mainly plastic) that is held together by the currents and is just floating in the ocean. It's literally the size of Texas. And the fish eat the plastic and then we eat the fish, so it has a huge effect on us.I have to write my final paper over an environmental problem such as air pollution, overpopulation, water?

Living things in Ecosystems, How Ecosystems work, kinds of Ecosystems, water pollution, air pollution, atmosphere and climate, Soil and Land, People, Urbanisation, Agricultural.What is Environmental Science? What are our main environmental problems? The root of environmental problems.?Environmental science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment; with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related to human activities; and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability from local and global development. It is inherently an interdisciplinary field that draws upon not only its core scientific areas, but also applies knowledge from other non-scientific studies such as economics, law and social sciences. Physics is used to understand the flux of material and energy interaction and construct mathematical models of environmental phenomena. Chemistry is applied to understand the molecular interactions in natural systems. Biology is fundamental to describing the effects within the plant and animal kingdoms.



While the concept of environmental science has existed for centuries, it came alive as a substantive, active field of scientific investigation in the 1960s and 1970s driven by (a) the need for a large multi-disciplined team to analyze complex environmental problems, (b) the arrival of substantive environmental laws requiring specific environmental protocols of investigation and (c) the growing public awareness of a need for action in addressing environmental problems.



Environmental science encompasses issues such as climate change, conservation, biodiversity, groundwater and soil contamination, use of natural resources, waste management, sustainable development, air pollution and noise pollution. Due to the inherent interdisciplinary nature of environmental science, teams of professionals commonly work together to conduct environmental research or to produce Environmental Impact Statements, as required by the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or under state laws. There are professional organizations that engender work in environmental science and aid in communication among the diverse sciences.

Is the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?

If we had not grown from 1.5 B in 1900 to 6.75B now, would we have the issues we face today? Will the lack of cheap abundant energy and the rising cost of fertilizer as a result mean population will decrease?Is the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?The biggest problem is that we have too many people who don't care.Is the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?
Yes it's the people, the numbers



Well know studies and documentaries (such as Al Gore's inconvenient truth) mention population only briefly



The env footprint EF is the individual footprint IF times the NP number of people

In America the IF is large (many people drive a SUV, don't recycle, luckily I'm not them) and there's about 300M people, whereas in Asia or Africa the NP is very large but the IF is low (people share a car or bycicle, they dont buy much etc)



In recent years the IF of America goes down (people buy hybrids, recycle more) and the IF of China goes up (more chinese want to buy cars)



Many demographers say that the current growth can't go on for long, and population will stabilize, due to various factors

And as you say we already see conflicts about oilIs the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?Yes it is. And it is getting worse. But the radicals are afraid to bring it up now days. High cost energy and high food costs will not have any effect on population. With socialism we who work will simply have to pay more to support the breeding classes in America and Europe. In the third world countries, we could see more starvation and disease. But the masses will keep popping out kids no matter what happens. And the planet will suffer because of it.Is the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?
Over population is one factor, yes. More important is the carbon footprints of those people. as an example, I believe most African countries only have a single planet lifestyle The UK has a three planet lifestyle, and the US. a seven planet lifestyle. So to be fair 6 out of seven Americans should be sterilised, two thirds of British and the Africans all get to keep thier man or womanhood. That's the usual danger of the population argument. Can you see W. signing that?!



Seriously though, the lack of abundant oil should go some way to rebalance the environment, but that is estimated at 50 to 100 years off, too long to wait for a change that will give future generations a chance of a dignified life, no matter what size the population.



Peak oil is the great unmentioable, luckily some of the cures coincide with those for AGW and our environment at large.Is the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?I believe it contributes but is only relevant to how we live. That being said, I think the real culprit in relation to population is irresponsible agricultural practices.Is the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?
yep.

pop doubled in last 40 years.

just think, 14,000,000,000 people in 2050.

ugly.

which is not to say that warming should be ignored.

just think.

more hungry people.

less water.

less food.

what a way to go.Is the biggest environmental problem we have too many people?
Yes, the huge human population is a huge environmental problem, but it affects the rest of the environment before it affects us. The stock market and other pyramid schemes depend on increasing population. The popultion will keep going up until there's at least 20 billion. There won't be any nature left though, because half the planet will be farm and half will be suburb.
it is not an issue.. I remember when I was younger.. the far left wing saying once the world hit 3 billion we would all die of slow starvation.. well, the earth can handle about 4 times the number of people we have.. the problems we have are not lack of enegry.. but lack of making cheap energy.. remember we have not built a new refinery in the US for over 35 years. we have however closed 7 down. it is not Government that will solve these problems. it is the private section that will.. currently there is a company in the US that is taken Co2 gas from coal fire energy plants and forcing the co2 gas into Algae farms to eat co2 ,turns the co2 into oxygen and also makes a cheap bio-fuel which can be used in cars today.. you can also take the algae dry it out and it makes a near perfect fertilizer or food for animals... again people like the idiot albore just talk and collect money.. it is business that will save the day..

Would a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?

Yeah cause the last two did wonders for the global economies didn't they?



Ooops - sorry dalai. I was forgetting that the US was the entire world wasn't I - Silly me eh?Would a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?No war never solves anything.Would a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?
well the last two didn't so why should anotherWould a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?We're long over due one, doubt it would sort problems out though, clear the air in terms of growing population definitely, environmental crisis, well I'm not convinced there is but throwing around nuclear bombs probably wouldn't help it



AFTERNOTE: To googlywo, yeah in fact the last two did do wonders for the economy, the US anyway, what do you think brought them out of the depression.



God knows why I'm getting dragged into this but once again googlywo your way off the mark. No the US isn't the entire world, thank fuc k, but there economy effects the entire world especially when every major country involved in WW1 was bankrolled by the US dollar. whats the famous saying "when wall street catches a cold the rest of the world sneezes" and I pretty sure a third world war will see the yanks rock up at some point.Would a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?
we are constantly at war in the world, is it any better?Would a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?Mabey but who on earth want ANOTHER world war.We have had 2 already!
It would probably clear the planet of everything.....permanently!!Would a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?
I think it could be worse. There are way too many fanatics in the world today. The third world war would more and likely be nuclear and biological. That would hurt the environment. The result would literally drive the species under ground.
No, but it would give you someting more important to think about.Would a third world war clear the air? Sort population problems, environmental crisis etc.?
it would drasticly slow down the over population for many years after, but make the others that you mention much worse check out the current status of the nuke tests on bikini island in the pacific circa 1946-1959. read all of the diatribe and reports on this since, it will open your eyes
If that ends wars of aggression and crushes aggressors, then it would be a step in the direction of solving the environmental crisis. So if there is a World War, and Russia, China, or other peaceful countries are involved, I wish them good luck, please God.
If by "clear the air" you mean irradiate the atmosphere and by "Sort population problems" you mean wipe out a nice chunk of life on earth, than yeah.... maybe.
Yeah everyone would be dead except the ones like Bush and Chenay in their shuttles!
It could clear the air of everything, if its a nuclear war, including all man kind. Problem solved I guess.



But what would be the point of that.
population problem may be an excuse for bad management of our world. We could all move to the USA if it was well organised.

is it really a crisis?
It isn't doing so far
No....we'd still make a total mess of things. We'd start all over again throwing stones and using bows and arrows.

Mother Nature will save the planet without our help.....the human race is just a passing phase.....we'll soon go the way of the dinosaurs.
No.



It'd only lead to another one. More problems and more hatred between innocent civilians.

What is the environmental problem of burying plastic in the ground in landfills?

In the short term the answers that you have are correct...for the most part.



Yes they take up space, where they should be removed and recycled and made into something else that is useful.



In the long term, they will eventually break down leaching out the chemicals that go into making them. If you have ever seen a polluted beach you will always see plastic, and it is always started to break down, where it has leached out into the water.



If you are familiar with BPA, a chemical found in almost all plastics up until the last couple years, as it was found to be very harmful to humans. This leaches out when you heat it up, especially when you put it in the microwave, where it breaks down very quickly and get into the food that you are heating up and you digest it....What is the environmental problem of burying plastic in the ground in landfills? When plastics are buried in a landfill, they occupy about 25 percent of the space. Putting plastics into landfills is not always the best disposal method. There are two other alternatives: recycling and incineration.

What is the environmental problem of burying plastic in the ground in landfills?There is no special environmental problem with burying plastic. The two issues are:



1) they take up space in landfills



2) plastics require oil to produce.What is the environmental problem of burying plastic in the ground in landfills?only problem would be if all landfill space were to fill up.

They do no damage in a landfill

Do you think that our current environmental problems reflect a shift in humans valves over the past 50 years?w

No, I think our current environmental problems reflect our lack of foresight 50 years ago. The shift in human values since then has actual been to develop a GREATER appreciation for the environment (though still not enough, probably). We are trying to make up for our past mistakes.Do you think that our current environmental problems reflect a shift in humans valves over the past 50 years?wGreenhouse gases are persistent for about 100 years so you might need to double your time frame. Even if we could arrest causes of environmental degradation today, the environment will continue to decline. I think that humans today are the same as humans of yesterday and tomorrow. We will act to protect our environment when the threat is visible, imminent and affects us personally. Until then we all give lip service to the environment, including me.

Is global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?

I just saw the 11th Hour the other day and it had some really fantastic interviews as well as images. At one point one of the interviewees mentioned that the problem is not any one environmental problem nor all or them but rather to put it in my own words a spiritual deficiency.Is global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?Yes. The problem is a world view that is not correct. We currently have a world view that is one of a mechanistic reductionist universe. This the root of our extreme materialism.

And that materialism leads to the kind of thinking where everything is just "stuff" so who cares.

Sometimes I see that expressed here by a few of the skeptics. "Who cares about the future, who cares about the earth, who cares about other species or ecosystems.



And that kind of thinking has led to our current brand of capitalism, that I call consumerism on steroids. It is extremely destructive of the environment, wasteful of our resources and economically. To see what I mean, watch the video- The Story of Stuff.



http://www.storyofstuff.com/



This is not an easy subject to discuss. In doing so, you risk offending both the scientific and the religious minded. The tremendous success of science, since the Age of Reason and the beginning of empirical science has led to this view.

Science does a very good job of describing the physical universe and how it works, including evolution. It is valid. Validity is not necessarily truth however. A theory or method of study is valid if it is useful. Science is very useful.

Our modern world with all it's technology is proof of this. Science achieves this by constructing models. In fact, the entire description of the universe as put forth by science, is a model.

Now, models are valid tools for understanding phenomena and because of them we can manipulate the physical world successfully and use them to further our understanding of the world.

But a model of the universe is not the universe.

Just like a map of a continent is not the continent.



"Models are to be used, not believed."

H. Theil `Principles of Econometrics'



So now we have this polarization between those who believe science has all the answers and those whose religious beliefs contradict those ideas. The debate about evolution verses creationism or intelligent design exemplifies this polarization.

As I have said in other posts, the debate is very limited by the concepts clung to by both sides.

Both sides are talking about a severely limited concept of God or what God might or might not be.



Throughout history and indeed prehistory, man has had experiences of what I would call the transcendent, the infinite, or God. The problem arises when people try to define this transcendence. This is what religions have always done. Each religion has a mythology, and a picture of God that is colored by the time in which they live and what else constitutes their world view at that time, and by the culture and the worldview held by that particular culture at that particular time in history. What it all boils down to is man's feeble attempts to describe the indescribable. An infinite God cannot be known by the reasoning mind. It cannot be described or named, whithout lessening it. Infinity cannot be conceptualized, named or described by a finite mind of reason. So now we have people fighting wars over various religious concepts and descriptions of God, none of which could possibly be all inclusive, of an infinite God.



Here's something that very few will understand or agree with. Spirituality is not about belief.

It is about experiencing that infinite transcendence. That is not to say that belief and spiritual experience are mutually exclusive, but that belief is not a prerequisite.



Werner Erhardt has said that "the biggest obstacle to experiencing God is the belief in God".

He is right. Enlightenment is the proccess of letting go of all preconceived notions. Otherwise, you are experiencing your beliefs and your rigid version of reality. We create the reality we experience, based on our own concepts and beliefs. The universe (God) doesn't care what our concepts or beliefs are. It just is. Very few people ever experience "what is".

The reality we experience in normal everyday consciousness is in fact a description of reality, and not the thing in itself. This can even be proven on a physiological level. The mind or brain creates a picture that is an interpretation of what the senses send to the brain.



Plato explained this in his famous story of the cave.

The people in the cave assumed that what they were experiencing was reality. What they were actually experiencing was their own projections of their own concepts on the cave wall. One day one of them ventured outside the cave into the light of day and experienced the real thing. This is what enlightenment is about.



And as William Blake said "a fool and a wise man don't see the same tree"

Reality is a perception. Not a fixed rigid thing.



Shakespeare, another wise man, said the same thing . to paraphrase since I don't have it here in front of me, "The universe is far more than your philosophers could possibly dream of"



Life is a dream! some people wake up from the dream. Blake and Shakespeare were among those who wake up.



Calling the Age of Reason- the Age of Enlightenment is a misnomer. It was not only scientific progress that was suppressed under the Holy Roman Empire, but also spiritual progress.



In one of Carlos Casteneda's books, his mentor, Don Juan explains it thus.



"We are luminous beings. We are Perceivers. We are an awareness; we are not objects; we have no solidity. We are boundless. The world of objects and solidity is a way of making our passage on earth convenient. It is only a description that was created to help us. We, or rather our reason, forget that the description is only a description and thus we entrap the totality of ourselves in a vicious circle, from which we rarely emerge in our lifetime.....a description that was told to us since the moment we were born....We, the luminous beings, are born with two rings of power, but we use only one to create the world. That ring which is hooked very soon after birth, is Reason, and it's companion Talking. Between the two, they concoct and maintain the world. So in essence, the world that your reason wants to sustain is the world created by a description and its dogmatic and inviolable rules, which the reason learns to accept and defend."

and

"the internal dialogue is what grounds us...The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so."



So how do we view science then, as in the debate about global warming? I would answer by paraphrasing another statement by Don Juan.



When in the realm of science and the physical, no room for irrational crap. and when in the world of the transcendent or spiritual, no room for rational crap.



Different cultures in different ages have interpreted the experience of the absolute, or God, in different ways. It's outward expression in their religions is going to take a form that is an expression of that culture at that particular period in time. How the people think, what their concept of reality are, what's important in their culture; that kind of thing. Because the experience is always filtered through the psychy of the person from that culture and time, it is naturally colored differently than that from somone in another culture and time period. That's why religions are so different and seem so alien to each other's churchgoers.



And it's because of these superficial differences that people fight wars over religion. But the mystics from all of them are of one mind. These are people who have achieved some degree of enlightenment. I have lived among a group of people who had followed all different paths, Yoga, Budhism, Sufis, Christian mystics, Jewish mysticism, etc and there was no difference. All understood the same.



God is too big to fit inside one religion. God is infinite. All religions have a concept or concepts about God. God is beyond concepts. God is infinite.

If more people understood this the world would be a lot saner. They are all good. None have a monopoly on God.

"The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth.

"The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand wrapped in awe is as good as dead.

To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms, this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness."

Albert EinsteinIs global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?
nope. it's called a myth.Is global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?No, it is more of a religion than anything, a religion with faithful followers in the media, and the closed-minded left.Is global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?
some people are scared of there own futureIs global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?Is Global Warming a consequence of years of spiritual ignorance? Maybe the effects of bad karma are unavoidable after all, which is why there is so much environmental chaos.
There are disagreements between scientists of the cause(s) of global warming. One is that it is a normal phenomenon of its long cycle and the other school of thought is due to polluted environment due to industrial waste matters and other man-made pollution that affected the ozone layers. Whether it is an outward reflection of an inner condition would require scientific investigations.Is global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?
You're about 42 steps ahead of the average contributor here.



The short answer is yes. For the long answer, read "The Last Hours of the Ancient Sunlight.".



Don't worry, Superman will come down and save us.
You may be on to something. Viewing the world from a perspective of self-loathing (blaming man for any real and imagined problems) is very likely a symptom of a deficiency in logic. Those who find themselves in this condition should try reading "Atlas Shrugged" and hope it's not too late to discover the greatness within each of us.Is global warming and other environmental degredations an "outward reflection of an inner condition"?
I you feel it in you know in your heart that global warming is caused by spiritual deficiency then you make at least as much sence as the people who think it's caused by atmospheric CO2.



They know in this in their heart also - no science is required.
No.Then again it all depends on what aspects of global warming you are speaking of. I am one who would be inclined to regard environmental issues as caused by man ignorantly and deliberately. But I'm only one person's opinion.

Spiritual Deficiency? It sounds intelligent to me and there's probably some signifigance behind it, but to me it sounds like another excuse to put the blame on something rather than someone and a particular group.
emotional and intellectual deficiency maybe.

'man's dominion over nature' encouraged by hierarchal religions, and the individualism and tunnel thinking of the enlightenment combine to make us supremely arrogant and out of touch with our environment.

we have to start thinking more holistically, about systems and links instead of individual processes. and start using our emotions more again, they are there for a reason!

Pollution and depletion of natural resources result in economic spending to reverse the effects of industrialization and transport of natural resources to support the human population. For example, rivers may have to be diverted to provide drinking water to growing populations. All of these have a negative economic effect as people have to pay for these massive projects.

Which one of the waste products from the bunsen burners flame contributes to a global environmental problem?

this is for chem class.. they also want to know what is the name commonly given to this problem? and what kinds of fuels contribute to this problem and some examples of these fuels.. thanks anyone who can help!Which one of the waste products from the bunsen burners flame contributes to a global environmental problem?The main problem product from the complete combustion of Natural Gas, (now the gas used to fuel a bunsen burner), is Carbon dioxide (CO2) which is known as a 'Greenhouse gas'...and contributes to Global warming.

The combustion also produces Sulphur and Nitrogen compounds formed from the oxygen of the air.

These compounds contribute to 'Acid Rain' formation...like H2SO3, H2SO4, HNO3...etc.



Methane (the main constituent of natural gas, as a complete combustion process is...



CH4 + 2O2 ===%26gt; CO2 + 2H2O

Any hydrocarbon fuel by complete combustion, will produce this reaction and other acidic products.



Incomplete combustion, i.e. insufficient oxygen, can also result in the formation of Carbon monoxide (CO) (a deadly gas), Carbon (C) (as soot).Which one of the waste products from the bunsen burners flame contributes to a global environmental problem?A bunsen burner burns natural gas, which is usually a mixture of methane, and other short alkanes (propane, butane, etc.). The combustion reaction produces carbon dioxide and water. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one "contributes to a global environmental problem".

The best way to solve the world's environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel.dou you agree or dis-

a start would be to stop using so much fossil fuel, but using more bio-fuel since most of todays engines can be used w/ bio-based-fuels w/ little to no alteration..



Also cutting down on other carbon based fuel sources like Coal etc..

stop cutting down as many trees, recycling more etc..

Only if you're dumb enough to have kids.Are our future children going to have to face some huge economic, environmental, social and political problems?They already are. From what I can observe of your silly society is that children, by comparison to previous generations, are faced with increased stresses, but fewer obligations. Now, kids are given more autonomy and individuality that was formerly reserved for adulthood. In exchange, they are paying the price by getting exposed to media stress, politics, economy, terrorism at schools and on public transportation, natural resource contention and sexuality much earlier. If I had a preference, I would be a kid these days, rather than the 1950's. Kids today are more effective, survivable, capable, violent, intelligent, empowered by technology, aware, and athletic (the non-McDonald's ones). Oh well, they'll be paying all our medical bills with the gold they invested in. It's their taxes dollars that will be converted into Yen and paying off our debt. It's their minds that will internalize and solve the problems of energy, equality and basic services, such as clean water. It's harder to be a kid these days, the social burden is much greater, but the privileges, freedoms tools and resources (knowledge, technology, social networking) are far beyond what we ever had. They can handle it, I trust in them.Are our future children going to have to face some huge economic, environmental, social and political problems?

Reasons we have environmental problems?

i need some help thinking out of the box :)Reasons we have environmental problems?(except the 'natural' natural disasters,) humankind doesn't have an idea (yet) how to live in this earth as a 'native'.Reasons we have environmental problems?@Previous Answer: Actually, corporations are only part of the problem. The majority of society has problems outside of corporations.



@Asker: Overpopulation is an often overlooked issue which worsens every problem we have. Habitat degradation, animal extinctions, pollution, ecological collapse are all problems worsened by it. Others are industrial countries like the US not buying and using electric cars, riding bikes. Basically living too extravagantly and not taking responsibility. The debate of whether there is Global Warming in US when most of Europe has already accepted the problem is another dilemma. Coming back to population, I've heard countries like Russia, Germany and some others I can't quite remember right now, have declining or stable populations and are apparently less corrupted. On a psychological note: From what I've read of these types of people, the primal reason for refusing to change is basically a fear of change. A fear of difference and something new that isn't normal for their line of thinking. At least, that's what I gather.



This may not be what you're looking for, but hopefully, it'll lead you to whatever you were hoping to find to think outside the box.Reasons we have environmental problems?-An economic model that doesn't value the environment in calculations of cost of a product or resource.

Environmental math problems! please help me?

Problem: In one month's time, a coal fired electrical generating plant burns 30,000 tons of coal and generates 20,000 mwh (megawatt hours) of electricity. A pound of coal produces 5000 BTUs and one kwh (kilowatt hour) is equivalent to 3400 BTUs.



a) Calculate the efficiency of the power plant.



b) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard for power plants, such as this one, is that no more than 2.2 pounds of sulfur be emitted per million BTUs released by burning coal. Assuming coal contains 1% sulfur by weight, determine whether the power plant meets the EPS standard.Environmental math problems! please help me?a)

efficiency = power output / power input



1 (short) ton = 2000 pounds

1 (long) ton = 2240 pounds

1 (metric) ton = 2204.62248 pounds

Which measurement do you use? I'll assume short tons.

30000 tons = 30000*2000 = 60000000 pounds

60000000 * 5000 = 300000000000 BTUs burnt



20000Mwh = 20000000kwh

20000000 * 3400 = 68000000000 BTUs output



efficiency = power output / power input

efficiency = 68000000000 / 300000000000 = 0.22666... = 22.6666...%



b)

60000000 pounds of coal are burnt

so 1% of 60000000 = 600000 pounds of sulphur



What your question doesn't state is whether that is 2.2 pounds per million BTUs burnt, or per million BTUs output.



68000000000 BTUs = 68000 million BTUs

300000000000 BTUs = 300000 million BTUs



600000 / 68000 = 8.82... pounds of sulphur per million BTUs output for this plant

600000 / 300000 = 2 pounds of sulphur per million BTUs burnt for this plant



Presumably they mean 2.2 pounds by burnt output, so yes, they do meet the standard.

Environmental problems in mumbai?

The experience of India is of enormously increased migration into the cities; and Mumbai continues to attract thousands each year who simply have nowhere else to go. The cheerful proponents of corporate-led projects, those who speak of turning Mumbai into another Singapore believe that the market mechanism will provide the most effective answer to the city鈥檚 problem.



They portray market forces as a kind of impersonal bailiff who will more or less painlessly evict Mumbai鈥檚 five or six million poor. Alas, they will have to be assisted by real flesh and blood; a military operation far greater even than the scale of Mrs Gandhi鈥檚 relocation of the city鈥檚 poor during the Emergency of 20 years ago. Not everybody recognizes the wisdom of appointing market forces as the arbiters of their lives.



In November 1994, the Civic Executive Health Officer denied that Mumbai is a centre for malaria, TB, polio, hepatitis, gastro-enteritis and now aids. He insisted that 鈥榗ivic services are working optimally. But most of our efforts get neutralized, sometimes even defeated, by the huge concentrations of slums, mostly unauthorized, which have abysmal hygienic conditions and are the ideal breeding ground for disease.鈥?br>


What he did say was that the urban poor are there to service industries that are dangerous to life. A Supreme Court lawyer, M C Mehta, warned that Mumbai is sitting on a live volcano because of the danger from the chemical industries in the city. Hospitals in the city could not cater for the thousands who could be affected by major gas leakages.



There are virtually no exit routes from the city, so the people are captive.



The Mumbai Environmental Action Group pointed out that the Government has relaxed stringent environmental regulations in the name of liberalization. A report in January 1995 prepared in co-operation with the World Bank, non-governmental organizations and the government studied the Mumbai Metropolitan region from 1992-1994. It presented a story of pollution, inadequate landfills, hazardous industrial wastes and rampant diseases. Sewage in the city is not treated before discharge into the Arabian Sea at any of the three Corporation areas. All sewers overflowed into coastal waters adjoining Mumbai, which made them unfit for recreational use throughout the year. Hundreds of septic tanks overflow into the ground, causing flies and mosquitoes to breed. Over 5.5 million people live in slums, where enteric and respiratory disorders are common, and gastro-enteritis, tuberculosis, malaria and filaria are 鈥榬ampant鈥?

Industrialization- and urban-related environmental issues coexist with rapid economic development-related environmental issues.

Environmental problems in the philippines?

A tanker sank in the deep water of the Philippines and the oil is leaking out and washing up on the beaches. This makes for the usual oil tanker mess and ruins the fish and tourism trades at least for a few years while the tanker empties out it's to deep to salvage the cargo without spending huge amounts of money the Philippines doesn't have.Environmental problems in the philippines?sure from nuclear testing in the 50s,60s,Environmental problems in the philippines?an oil tanker commissioned by petron sank somwhere near the coast of Guimaras Island with thousands of liters of oil.

About what environmental issues do women care the most?

Hi,



I'm interested in finding out about what environmental issues matter most to moms. How important is the issue of contaminants in the water to you? Is there another environmental problem about which you care more? Are other women aware of the issue? What can be done about it? Do you feel that you have an ability to control what happens regarding contaminants in the water or do you think that this is an issue about which the government needs to take action?



Thanks!About what environmental issues do women care the most?The bigeest threat to me is how do I pay for my mortgage, feed and clothe my children, take them to school and get to work on the little amount of money that I make.

The government has already created laws requiring water and sewage treatment plans to regulate BOD and hazardous chemicals in the water. Most water pollution is caused by people who ignore the laws, and they will continue to ignore new laws. Fines are $10,000 per day, which is a splashable cost for many companies.About what environmental issues do women care the most?
global warming, finding alternative fuel, and recycling.About what environmental issues do women care the most?I don't think that being a woman has much to do with how much I care about the environement. As a parent I want to conserve what we have for future generations, but I felt that way before my first child was born. I want to reduce pollution, and conserve natural resources. I want our children to know a natural environment better than the workings of an electronic gadget. I want people to learn about the toxins they are using to clean their houses and the harmful chemicals we put on our bodies daily.About what environmental issues do women care the most?

Many women are introduced to environmentalism when they have kids. They find out about something that's bad for the baby, usually a toxin in a toy, bedding, sippy cup, clothing, or food product. Then there's what I call the Erin Brocovich effect. They learn about some environmental hazard (water pollution, powerlines...) or method (like vaccines) that's linked to cancer clusters, birth defects, leukemia, ADHD, or autism. Then there's the whole female diseases thing. Maybe they knew some things before they had kids, but now it's personal, so I'd have to say women are probably care most about environmental health issues.

In the European Union (EU), how might environmental problems affect a nation's economy?

e.u: european unionIn the European Union (EU), how might environmental problems affect a nation's economy?Very simple, just think about the garbage everyone of us make. If we all throw the rubbish in the street, who is going to clean up? Logically it is the government, but where the gov't gets the money? Of course from the citizens. If we throw less rubbish, we are saving the money from the government indirectly and on the other hand, the money can be used for other stuff, like building hospital, giving free education, better social security, building public zones (gardens), etc.



But this is only a national issue, back to the EU level, if one country makes too much pollution, let's say air-pollution, the polluted air might fly to another member state and affects the citizens of "clean air" member state.



All in all, i think environmental problems surely affects to one's nation/economy.

Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?

I came across the thought that religious practice and environmental issues may be related.



Ongoing technological advancements and the desire for corporate expansion contribute to deforestation, global warming, and pollution. Increasing knowledge in scientific thought, which seems to oppose religious beliefs, may be our eventual downfall.



Although science is revealing truths about our world, perhaps it is missing out on what is most important: to respect the environment. Most religions seem to have a special bond with nature, or at least tend to respect it. Natural disasters may be seen as act of some uncontrollable force as a result of our actions.



Does anyone else see this correlation?Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?Only Science can fix the problems it's caused, and in doing so we learn even more and become more efficient and safer.



The alternative is we accept that the Bible knows everything and halt all technological advancements - disaster.Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?
Religion has killed more people in violent ways than science.Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?Nope, it's actually the decline of the Pirate population. Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?
No. Science teaches all the time to respect the environment. However capitalism sees no immediate profit in that. Few religions really respect nature - Christianity does not (although many Christians do).Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?There definitely is a correlation here. But I think it is on a more super-natural level. i don't think God likes being abandoned.
How does science encourage the destruction of the environment?



What do environmental scientists do? Did they just go to school for the fun of it?



I know a number of people directly related to finding ways to preserve or restore the environment. And all the science professors in my school would freak on a student if they saw them throw a bottle in the trash and not the recycling bin.



Religious people are probably less likely to respect the environment -- thinking this world is sinful and meaningless does not generally breed a green lifestyle.Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?
2 Tim 3:1-5
I very well doubt it.Does the decline in the acceptance and practice of religious tendencies help explain environmental problems?
No.



It's more due to over population, and greed. Religion is not the cause...
the destruction of the environment is really more likely caused by greedy corporations.



Religion has nothing to do with conserving the environment either.

(after all why do neo-conservatives hate the Sierra Club so much?)




This is fulfillment of scripture. Revelation 11:18;.

Environmental devastation is foreseen. Though evolution imagines that things should be getting better, the Bible foresaw what is really happening today, pollution, destruction and corrupt dominion.

All good thing s are of God. Bad things only happen when thru the acts of man, God withdraws His hand, removing the covering, and giving Satan his "legal" right to steal, kill, and destroy. It's not so much the way we "do" the environment, as to murdering innocent babies, living and promoting immoral lifestyles, etc.,

The Bible is the only prophetic book with a 100% track record. Get ready, cause here He comes!!
I think you will find it's quite the opposite. Did the thought occur to you that without todays technology and scientific advances including our medical advances we would have a small world population due to people dying unnecessarily. I think the religious are scared that science will expel religion with it's findings.

Give 10 example of environmental problems.thanks and God bless....?

1. the polluting of rivers and streams

2. the polluting of our oceans

3. the rising temperature of the ocean is causing vast numbers of species to die or go extinct, negatively affecting the food chain

4. a high rate of deforestation (amazon is a good example)

5. chemicals from waste storage facilities as well as other government facilities (nuclear power plants for example) causes chemicals to leak into our soils.

6. cars, power plants, etc (industrialization) are causing massive increases in atmospheric co2 levels which is throwing off natural ecosystems which control global temperature, hence...global warming. (not a myth)

7. you could argue hunting is an environmental problem considering it is the killing of a part of the environment

8. ozone layer problems caused by green house gases

9. the melting of the ice caps ! causes many animals to die (polar bears) as well oceans to rise and threatening cities!

10. the decreasing amount of fresh water due to it becoming useless in sewers/processing/etc.

What do you think is the most significant environmental problem in California?

And what do you think are some causes of that problem?What do you think is the most significant environmental problem in California?I think the major environmental issue involves the size of the population and the resource demands that the economic activities of the State place on the natural environment.That issue is manifested by the need for fresh water from ditant sources combined with the irregularities in changes in climate related to El Nino and Greenhouse caused climate changes due to car pollution. I've been to Yosemite Sacramento and Tahoe-Reno area and even there you can see environmental issues. I believe Lake Tahoe itself is under threat from developers and water hungry farmers.



I think Californians are pretty smart people and that they will be the First or second state (Vermont is the other one)to lead the rest of the states in getting right with the environment finding environmentally friendly sustainable ways of living on the West Coast. Californians are less adverse to change and you have the proposition system in polace to drive government to do the right things that make life better. I enjoyed the Q. Many of the trashy non-answers to your Q don't deserve the time of day. Ignore them or report the worst ones.

Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?

A. we are using up our supply of oil and coal

B. We are polluting our environment

C. We are using too much fresh water

D. The Human population continues to grow



I think it's either B or D, human population always has some effects on the environment?Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?Yes, we can eliminate C and A, since the question is asking for the MAIN CAUSE, it narrows down to B and D, although choice C seems to be the best answer, but I think as long as human population continues to grow, we will always pollute the environment one way or another, it's more like a trade-off, so I'd pick D, human population continues to grow for the main cause.Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?
A, B and D, although B and D are direct contributors.Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?E. politicians!Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?
How can you pick just one- all of the above. However, if the world population wasn't so large our carelessness and consumption would not have such a profound impact on the environment. So I choose D.Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?B



Though they are all tied together...Good thing is that we won't be able to pollute nearly as much when A happens. D will be a major problem in the next 50-100 years. Global warming can lead to C if our glaciers and icecaps melt into the oceans.Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?
I agree B and D. But more B. If we know how to clean up, if we know that we can do something about the pollution then it doesn't matter if the world's population continues to grow as long as we can manage the wastes we produce.Multi-Choice Q: The main cause of environmental problems would be that:?
I would choose "E" or All of the above. Why ? Because theres no "one" thing we do collectively or individually that impacts our mother earth. Its a combination of all of our actions based on our foolish attitudes that contributes to our planet slowly dying. Only by both individually and collectively taking responsibility for our attitudes and actions can we both preserve and save our mother earth and consequintly ourselves from extinction.

An environmental problem in your area?

Discuss an environmental problem that you feel is significant in your town or city. What are some causes? Are any of these causes related to human values and environmental ethics? Explain.



What are some environmental problems in your area... I'm trying to think of something other than the obvious like littering. I live in Wisconsin. Does road construction cause environmental problems because we have a lot of that around here!An environmental problem in your area?I live in Toronto, so smog is a huge issue. The air has become so polluted from the emissions coming from our cars that there is now a visible health risk floating above the city.



Also a problem facing many different places in the world is the disruption of the food chain for animals. Introducing animals that are not native to your environment causes a major disruption and in some cases the complete destruction of a local ecosystem.An environmental problem in your area?Weeds. Introduced plants that were not necessarily weeds in their country of origin.

Air pollution of course.The gaseous content of the air nowadays are more likely to kill you more than anything.I mean,we get water from rain,we get oxygen and good air means good ventilation of heat.If the air ain't polluted that much,there will be no global warming,no acid rain and soil erosion.So,I say we need to figure out how to undone the harms we have done in the past for a better future.
