MODULE 10: CULTURE & RELIGION FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE INTRODUCTION Culture shapes the way we see the world. It therefore has the capacity to bring about the change of attitudes needed to ensure peace and sustainable development which‚ we know‚ form the only possible way forward for life on planet Earth. Today‚ that goal is still a long way off. A global crisis faces humanity at the dawn of the 21st century‚ marked by increasing poverty in our asymmetrical world‚ environmental degradation

While analyzing the data found from a ballistic pendulum experiment‚ the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy and the Law of Conservation of Momentum both need to be utilized. The involvement of both of these physical laws struck the group ’s immediate interest because of the pertinence to what had been being learned in class. The two previous laws were

Conservation of Wildlife In 1936 Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling stood in Washington DC. in front of President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the idea of organizing a national wildlife conservation group.

Thus‚ there should be a good management of the ecosystems to prevent dire consequences as a result of overexploitation. One potential management plan is the conservation of resources in the ecosystems by regulating exploitation activities. In this respect‚ exploitation licenses should be required and exploitation should

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy consumption through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service.[1] For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services

come together to help manage the size of deer populations (Department of Environmental Conservation‚ 2001). The management of population size refers to the acceptable amount of deer that can live in the surrounding areas. The importance of managing deer populations stems from the successful nature of the white – tailed deer‚ and their ability to flourish in an environment (Department of Environmental Conservation‚ nd). The deer also impact the humans that live within close proximity. These effects

Hunting regulations and conservation efforts have brought many species’ populations from few numbers to many. In 1907 only 41‚000 elk remained in North America‚ now there are more than 1 million. In 1900 there were only 500‚000 whitetail deer and only 100‚000 wild turkeys‚ now there are more than 32 million whitetail and 7 million wild turkeys (25 Reasons‚ 2013). Also many non-hunted animals benefit off the conservation efforts that hunters provide (25 Reasons‚ 2013).
