Humans Impact
The Impacts Humans Have on the Planet Speech
By: Chyanne D-L and Emily H

Over The years the planet has been changing. Humans are a huge part of that change. The impact that humans have on the planet is not good at all, because of our species; the ozone is thinning from all the air pollution. The astronauts are making the ozone layer even thinner by breaking it open as they travel through it to get to planets. There’s a garbage patch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean bigger than two football fields. The water is no longer safe in some places to drink because of the oil spills. It’s not only bad for us, it is worse for the fish and marine animals that are dying every minute. We kill trees to make, the very paper I’m writing on now, so that we can build factories, homes and businesses.

We can change the impact we have on our planet, but we choose to continue to pollute the air with our cars and factories. We choose to continue to throw our garbage out and not recycle. We choose to continue to drill oil. We choose to drill for gold. We choose to drill for silver. We choose to let the marine animals die because of the toxins we put into the water. We choose to continue to cut down trees to make paper, homes, factories, and businesses. It’s our choice, but are we making the right one? No!

Our impact on the planet has caused a great deal of problems. We can recycle. We can drill for gold, silver, oils, and diamonds less. We can stop cutting down trees. We can be more active on a daily basis, like riding a bike or walking. We can walk up and down the stairs instead of using an elevator or an escalator. We can use cars that are solar. We can use street cars. We can be less materialistic. We can choose a different lifestyle!

All you have to do is stop and protest air pollution. Stop and minimize the garbage you are throw away. Stop water pollution and help people who need water to survive. Stop and minimize your use of paper. Stop

    Individuals are helping the environment through travel, at home, at work, and in their consumer lifestyles. While traveling they can use other means of transportation or carpool, and at home people are turning off electronics when not in use and overall reducing resource consumption. At work, similar to being at home, turn off electronics when not in use, but also make sure your employer and co-workers are informed of ways they can help. Consumables can be harder as they are things that cost money, where everything previously was a cost-free initiative. Individuals can use reusable bags, change to a more eco-friendly diet, and buy consumables that were produced with environmental standards in mind.…

    Human beings have inhabited the Earth for six or seven million years ("Natural History Museum", n.d.), but that is merely a fraction of the existence of this planet. Human beings have a penitence for gathering into groups and forming cities where industrial developments take place. The Industrial Revolution in America brought jobs and new products as well as technology. This is happening in other developing countries such as China and India today. Since our country has developed further into the digital age, our scientists have been able to observe the devastating effects that unregulated industry can have on the environment, and in turn, have on the people who dwell there. Now, there are many efforts in advancing our understanding and cohabitation with the natural world, and trying to reverse the damage that has been done.…

    Some may ask what the Anthropocene is. Before this moment, I had never heard of it. The Anthropocene is very important because it is able to show just how humans have impacted the earth, and how we have changed it. As humans, we are pushing the wildlife into smaller areas as we create new homes, and disrupt their habitat. The earth is facing its sixth extinction, and studies show that humans are to blame. This does not mean every single animal species has suffered a loss of 25%. Some are impacted more than others. Humans are to blame, as the killing of animals, and change of habitat are two major factors in the decline of species. Not only are animals being killed, but we are also polluting the air we breathe. The most familiar change according…

    Humankind is advancing, but the environment is deteriorating, yet there are changes that the world is still waiting for. Both Yann Arthus-Bertrand in “A Wide Angle View of Fragile Earth” and Elizabeth Kolbert in “The Weight of the World” have an underlying agreement that society is to blame for these environmental changes. Although they persuade the audience in various ways, they have the same main goal: protecting the environment.…

    No other species has altered the the face of the earth like us. About eight percent of land has seen or undergone human activity. Since the 1750s, when the Industrial Revolution went strong, we have released large amounts of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. This has trapped the sun's rays and is slowly causing the ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise. The most devastating part about all of this is that we are drastically changing the environment in a very short amount of time.…

    <br>In just the last fifty years, humans, namely Americans have virtually remodeled the Earth and everything on it. We have changed its landscapes, wind patterns, migration routes, and weather; diminished its greenery and killed its animals. Nature did not seem a force that could be controlled and yet it has been. We are conducting an inadvertent global experiment by changing the face of the entire planet. We are destroying the ozone layer, which allows life to exist on the Earth's surface, clearing the majority of the earth's forests, and disrupting countless ecosystems. The result has been an unfavorable alteration of the composition of the biosphere and the Earth's heat balance. If we do not slow down our use of fossil fuels and stop destroying the forests, the world will become hotter than it has been in the past million years. This warming will rearrange entire biological communities and cause many species to become extinct.…

    When describing something that influences your gender, most people would assume that your “sex” or our biological identification given to us at birth would be the most definite source; however there are multiple factors and processes that contribute to one’s gender identity. The multitudes of institutions that assist in the socialization of an individual vary from person to person, but are all beneficial in creating a sense of gender. According to Michael Messner, there are two types of institutions, the gendered and the gendering. The gendered institution is described by Messner as “an institution constructed by gender relations. As such, its structures and values (rules, formal organizations, sex composition, etc.) reflect dominant conceptions of masculinity and femininity” (p. 133). The gendering institution can be described by Messner as an institution that constructs the current gender order and genders people’s bodies and minds, it creates the masculine and feminine identities. These institutions are both detrimental to the construction of gender and personal identity; for me the involvement in CYO sports at a young age and the household in which I grew up (all girls) allowed me the freedom to develop an identity of my own outside the traditional masculine/feminine identity.…
