Saving animals
1 like245 views
Humans have a responsibility to care for animals and the planet. While humans are stronger evolutionarily, the Earth does not belong to humans alone - it is also home to animals. As the dominant species, humans have a duty to protect animals and address environmental problems like pollution, deforestation, and global warming that threaten habitats. Small actions like recycling and reducing energy usage can help solve these issues for the long term benefit of both animals and humans.

This chapter introduces concepts related to environmental sustainability. It discusses how deforestation on Easter Island led to societal collapse, providing a lesson about unsustainable practices. It then defines ecological footprint and explains how this measures human demand on natural resources. Four global trends are identified as particularly concerning: population growth, decline of ecosystems, atmospheric changes, and loss of biodiversity. The chapter presents the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment framework for understanding links between human well-being and ecosystem services and the need for conservation. It outlines strategic themes and integrative dimensions to consider in forging a sustainable future.The Limits Manifesto
The Limits ManifestoAnn Heidenreich
油
1. The document outlines a "Limits Manifesto" which proposes three propositions: no harm, no hubris, and no hurry. It argues that accepting limits on human behavior is necessary given the state of the planet and finite natural resources.
2. Vital signs data is presented showing the planet is approaching dangerous thresholds in areas like climate change, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss due to human impacts.
3. The manifesto calls for slowing human consumption and respecting Earth's natural limits to avoid further damage and allow ecosystems to regenerate. Accepting limits is presented as key to long-term sustainability.Over population and the effects on our economy & the environment.
Over population and the effects on our economy & the environment.Prashant Lamichhane

Overpopulation is putting strain on the environment and economy. As the human population has increased over 7-fold, we have lost 80% of old-growth forests, 50% of soil, and 90% of large fish. Many ecosystems and the climate are being disrupted. To avoid global ecological collapse, human consumption must remain within the Earth's carrying capacity. Solutions include more equitable social and economic systems, universal education for women, access to birth control, and incentives for smaller families. Failure to address overpopulation and consumption risks catastrophic environmental collapse.0863126 Humanitys Identity on Earth

This integrated media series is about my interest in humanitys ecological footprint; a measurement of societys demand on the environment and an approach to sustainability. It is a balancing act of resource consumption and waste discharge, every action taken towards using natures resources has an impact on Earths ecosystems, however is society playing fairly, or are they misplacing the value of nature in the act of mass consumption?Ecological footprint post on wiki
Ecological footprint post on wikithomasnovel

The ecological footprint measures humanity's demand on natural resources and how much land and water is required to produce what we consume and absorb our waste. Since the 1980s, humanity's annual demand has exceeded what the Earth can regenerate. It now takes 1.5 years for the Earth to regenerate what we use in one year. The ecological footprint was conceived in 1990 to measure our pressure on the planet and encourage living within Earth's limits to support long-term sustainability.Ecosystem

1. The document contains review questions about environmental ethics.
2. Industries pollute to cut costs and increase profits. Proper waste disposal and energy consumption can be expensive for companies.
3. Normal economic forces were historically against pollution control because it would reduce corporate profits. However, attitudes are changing as regulations require companies to consider environmental impacts.
4. A totally unpolluted environment is unrealistic since manufacturing waste is inevitable, but efforts should be made to minimize pollution and find new uses for residues.Empyrean ivillage

Environment literally means surrounding and everything that affect an organism during its lifetime is collectively known as its environment. In another words Environment is sum total of water, air and land interrelationships among themselves and also with the human being, other living organisms and property. It includes all the physical and biological surrounding and their interactions.
Environmental studies provide an approach towards understanding the environment of our planet and the impact of human life upon the environment.
Thus environment is actually global in nature, it is a multidisciplinary subject including physics, geology, geography, history, economics, physiology, biotechnology, remote sensing, geophysics, soil science and hydrology etc. Scope of Environmental Science Environmental science is a multidisciplinary science whose basic aspects have a direct relevance to every section of the society.
Its main aspects are:
Conservation of nature and natural resources.
Conservation of biological diversity.
Control of environmental pollution.
Stabilization of human population and environment.
Social issues in relation to development and environment.
Development of non-polluting renewable energy system and providing new dimension to nations security. Importance of Environmental Science Environment belongs to all the living beings and thus is, important for all.
Each and every body of whatever occupation he or she may have, is affected by environmental issues like global warming, depletion of ozone layer, dwindling forest, energy resources, loss of global biodiversity etc.
Environment study deals with the analysis of the processes in water, air, land, soil and organisms which leads to pollute or degrade environment. It helps us for establishing standard,Environment and Ecology for safe, clean and healthy natural ecosystem.
It also deals with important issues like safe and clean drinking water, hygienic living conditions and clean and fresh air, fertility of land, healthy food and development. Sustainable environmental law, business administration, environmental protection, management and environmental engineering are immerging as new career opportunities for environment protection and managements.
Need for Public Awareness With the ever increasing development by modern man, large scale degradation of natural resources have been occurred, the public has to be educated about the fact that if we are degrading our environment we are actually harming ourselves.
To encourage meaningful public participation and environment, it is necessary to create awareness about environment pollution and related adverse effects.

The document discusses different types of human societies and their interactions with the environment. It describes hunter-gatherer societies as having a small impact on the environment due to low population densities. Agricultural societies led to increased food production but some, like the Babylonian Empire, collapsed due to unsustainable land use practices. Industrial societies replaced manual labor with machines, increasing the consumption of resources and fossil fuels. The document also introduces the concepts of sustainable versus frontier development and distinguishes between renewable and non-renewable resources.Reflection about Environmental Destruction
Reflection about Environmental DestructionLena Argosino

Habitat destruction and fragmentation are negatively impacting the environment through the elimination of habitats, increasing endangered species, reducing biodiversity, and decreasing plant and forest coverage. This is occurring due to natural causes like volcanoes and glaciers, as well as human causes such as urban expansion and deforestation. To reduce these effects, we need to set aside protected natural areas, stop cutting down rainforests, and limit urban sprawl into animal habitats. Additionally, all individuals have a responsibility to conserve natural resources like water, electricity, food and forests in a sustainable manner by avoiding overconsumption and waste, as the planet's resources must be shared equitable among all people and species to ensure future generations can also enjoy natural benefits.Cradle of Humankind

- A population is a group of organisms of the same species that live in a specific area and interbreed. Populations have characteristics like size, density, and dispersion.
- Population growth can be modeled. The simple model looks at birth and death rates, while the logistic model accounts for limited resources constraining growth.
- Organisms have different life history strategies. R-strategists reproduce rapidly when conditions allow, while K-strategists have slower growth near an environment's carrying capacity.
- An ecosystem includes all the organisms in an area along with their environment. Energy flows through ecosystems, with producers like plants capturing energy and consumers eating producers or other organisms.Voca w3

Man and nature have had differing relationships throughout history. In Christian times, nature was seen as signs of God's providence, though periods of blight were viewed as God's wrath for human sinfulness. During the Enlightenment, nature came to be seen as dead matter governed by discoverable laws. Industrialists saw nature as raw materials to exploit for valuable commodities. While nature and man coexist and nature provides resources for human survival, their relationship is also conflicted due to issues like natural disasters, lack of resources, and human encroachment on animal habitats. Being in nature benefits humans by reducing stress and increasing well-being.You are-what-you-eat

Humans are causing a mass extinction event known as the Holocene extinction by dominating ecosystems and destroying habitats. The main drivers of extinction are global change, natural disasters, overexploitation of species, and evolutionary changes caused by inbreeding and declining populations. Human overconsumption, where resource use exceeds what ecosystems can renew, is measured by the ecological footprint. Prevention efforts include changing how nature is viewed, stopping fossil fuel use, protecting land and oceans, slowing population growth, and reconnecting with nature through individual actions like using fewer plastics and encouraging greenery.Environmental-Science-Reporting.pptx

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the connections between living and non-living parts of the environment. It aims to understand environmental problems, their causes, and potential solutions. Key principles from nature like solar energy, biodiversity, and nutrient cycling have allowed life to thrive on Earth for billions of years and provide lessons for sustainable living. While more developed countries use most resources, all nations must work to protect natural systems and resources for future generations.Importance of biodiversity

The document discusses arguments for protecting biodiversity from both an intrinsic and anthropocentric perspective. The intrinsic view is that biodiversity has value regardless of its benefits to humans, as all species are part of the evolutionary process. The anthropocentric view is that biodiversity provides economic, aesthetic, recreational, and insurance benefits to humans through ecosystem services like climate regulation and soil formation. Both perspectives aim to protect biodiversity, though they stem from different philosophies around nature's value. The document examines these arguments but leaves the conclusions open to the reader's interpretation.Assignment 1- home.docx

The documentary "Home" discusses how life originated on Earth 4 billion years ago, but humans have disrupted it at a massive scale in a very short period of time. It examines the essential elements of nature like land, water, trees, soil, and oceans that support life. However, rapid population growth and industrialization have caused overuse of resources, pollution, deforestation, and climate change that threaten the planet's biodiversity and human lives. While problems like consumption, agriculture, fishing, and fossil fuel use have caused great harm, the documentary hopes to inspire individuals to make sustainable choices and work together to protect what remains of the natural world for future generations.Lesson 1 ecology_and_ecosystems

The document presents an SSS framework for analyzing issues related to science, society, and sustainability. The framework examines how science can help explain the issue, which aspects of society are affected and why, and how the issue impacts sustainability. It provides examples of using the framework to analyze how science can determine the causes and effects of human environmental impact, how government agencies work to preserve natural resources but responsibility belongs to all humans, and how sustainability is threatened by species extinction and pollution. The framework also explores the role of students in promoting sustainable living practices at home.More from Javier Sanchez Cubillos (8)

Through industrialization and modernization, human activity has negatively impacted the environment. Various forms of pollution have increased to worrying levels, including air, water, and soil pollution from chemical compounds. While people are becoming more aware of the problems, there remains a lack of meaningful action to help improve the situation. One major issue is plastic use - people have relied on plastic for many products and packaging for years. However, plastic is not disposed of properly and increases land and visual pollution. Research also shows that plastic waste often ends up in the oceans, where it is ingested by marine animals, causing illness and death. To avoid further contamination, people must become more conscious of nature in their daily lives by reducing plastic use and other pollutJokes

Dirty money and greed can lead people to do horrible things for money according to the story. While some people will lie, cheat, and even kill to fill their pockets with dirty money tainted with blood, there are also good people who refuse to compromise their integrity. Greedy people seek more and more money and power, which can corrupt them into destroying forests, killing animals, and even other people. Fortunately, there are also people willing to stand up to greed and aggression who don't sell their souls for corruption, instead defending their homes and world. In the end, money is a temptation but not everything, and the world belongs to all living things, not just a few seeking wealth and power.Here comes the boom thoughts

- 1. Javier Fernando S叩nchez Cubillos Helping animals Most of people believe that this world is just for them, so they use all the resources, cutting trees, contaminating rivers and oceans, in short, destroying the planet and the animals habitat. However, this is not true, the earth does not belong to humans; it belongs to any single living organism. For this reason, humans have to take care more about the planet, measuring consumerism, but most important save animals, since the planet is their home too. It is a fact that evolution makes humans stronger that other species, but that is not a reason for killing animals and destroying habitats. Humans say that they are not animals; that they could reason and think, so this makes them better than animals, however this is the biggest lie ever; humans are not better than animals, humans are just stronger evolutionary speaking, nevertheless animals have similar rights, thus humans duty is to protect them as equal. Some people would say that it is impossible to save animals, if they could not even save themselves, so humans should start form the begging, taking care of their problems, but at the same time taking care of the animals and the whole world. Pollution, deforestation, contamination and global warming are some examples of environmental problems, so humans need to be aware of these problems and start putting in progress solutions. There are so many ways to solve these problems, for example, recycling, disconnecting electronic devices that are not in used, using products that help the environment, and many more. Putting in practice these solutions is not something easy, but in the long term humans would not regret, because it would be the salvation for animals and for them too. In conclusion, humans are responsible for saving the planet; first because they have most of the blame of the current condition of the earth; second because, as kings of the earth, humans have to reign in a good way, taking care of their subjects; but most important because this planet is humans and animals home, and it would be great that both of them could live long and prosper.
