Even though racism is and has always been an issue‚ we don’t often think about all the ways it can affect people of color. One example of this is environmental justice and racism‚ this is where corporations dump environmentally hazardous or degraded elements‚ such as toxic waste‚ pollution and urban decay near low-income or minority communities (Environmental Racism 2012‚ 1). It’s another unjust way African Americans have been and still continue to be treated. Many families have grown up in danger of

AN ENVIROMENTAL UPGRADATION: Hybrid Vehicles Propelled by Syngas Powered Wave-Disk Engines The synergistic combination of syngas and wave-disk engine to propel hybrid vehicles seems to have the potentiality of killing five birds with one stone: clean fuel supply‚ greater energy security‚ carbon dioxide reduction‚ higher fuel efficiency and less climate change. The sun bathes the earth in more energy in an hour than civilization uses in a year. If scientists could convert even a fraction of that

Area sensitive species – they need large plots of fragmented land. Raccoon‚ squirrels‚ pigeons‚ deer all use highly fragmented land for their beneficial. Invasive species – emerald ash bore‚ zebra mussels‚ carp‚ bamboo‚ - very expensive trying to manage them‚ they also out compete native species – Pollution – oil spills killing wildlife – some animals can protect against it Population also plays a major effect in habitat loss Overexploitation – using too much of something‚ like elephants

Essay Question 1 Explain how changes in habitat can lead to habitat fragmentation. How does this affect the population of animals in that area? Species lose their habitats when those habitats are destroyed outright‚ but habitat loss also occurs when habitats are altered through more subtle processes‚ including fragmentation and other forms of degradation. The sudden and complete elimination of habitat is uncommon at large scales; instead‚ what we usually witness is gradual‚ piecemeal degradation

Purposing to reduce all those pollution
