...GOVERNMENT FUNDS SHOULD BE SPENT ON SPACE EXPLORATION By Shanel Sun English Composition I (ENC 1101) Mrs. H. N. S. Jayaweera Government funds should be spent on space exploration Why do governments spend millions of dollars each year on space exploration when there are issues on earth those need to be addresses? Shouldn’t the government worry about crime, Poverty, National debt, Terrorism, the economy and the environment instead of outer space? What about the lives of astronauts that is at sake? What is the value of time and energy wasted on space crafts that end up crashing or becoming space junk? What about the damage caused to the Ozone layer? Even though these questions are yet to be answered, governments should fund space explorations because there are many advantages of space exploration such as increment of inventions, accuracy of environmental predictions, growth of stock of resources and development of the economy. Manned space-flight has spawned many scientific innovations. One of the very important by products of space exploration has been the adaptation and innovation of medical equipment technologies which are making individual lives better and in many cases saving them. A water purification device used by astronauts have been developed to help patients who suffer from kidney failure by introducing the kidney dialysis, analyzing the fluid flow around space shuttle engine has helped to create an artificial heart pump for patients, Nitinol is an alloy used...

A large source of water pollution caused by industrial waste are daily. Save water in all industrial buildings to bring more functionality, Apartments, schools, hospitals etc by builders should encourage proper water management systems. Drinking water or ordinary water shortage caused by the common people to know about the potential problem awareness program should be run. Waste of water about the behavior of people need to get rid of it quick. 3.By the people at the village to collect rain water should start. With proper maintenance, by making small or large ponds rain water can be saved. With younger students need more awareness on this issue and the solution should be concentrated. Many countries in the developing world live in insecurity and the lack of water is affecting people. Supply exceeds demand in areas with 40% of the global population live. And in the coming decades because of the situation could be worse things will grow as population, agriculture, industry etc. IN 1000 WORDS As we all know that the water we and other living creatures on earth provides.

...Recycling Helps Reduce Global Warming In the past 20 years, it has become very evident that recycling can reduce global warming and help save our planet for future generations. We all enjoy being able to take a vacation to the beach or to the mountains and enjoy a clean healthy environment. It would be a shame if our grandchildren couldn’t enjoy this in the future. According to WN.com, the United States generates HALF of the world's garbage each year, which equals about 250 million tons of waste, with only 30% being recycling. That is a huge impact on the ecosystem and the effects it produces towards global warming. It’s astounding that the USA can contribute so much, but take into account, we are a wasteful society. The good news is, this can and should be changed by simply increasing our efforts individually to reduce the waste. Instead of people polluting the earth, what we could do is make recycling mandatory by putting taxes on the volume of rubbish householders put out for the sanitation workers to collect. This in turn will make people want to recycle and act as an incentive to dispose of anything recyclable at recycling point for which they do not have to pay. This would encourage people to want to recycle and save money for other necessities. In many other countries they do recycle, such as Europe. In Switzerland the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) collect there rubbishes to recycle. SBB recycles 2.5 million plastic bottles, weighing 65,000 kg, 2 million aluminum cans...

Answer: My ecological footprint is 30.40gha. If everyone one the planet live my lifestyle, we will need 1.93 Earths. Figure 1. Ecological Footprint calculated with www.myfootprint.org. B. Describe the principles and assumptions used in the metho. Answer: The Ecological Footprint Quiz estimates the area of land and ocean required to support our consumption of food, goods, services, housing, and energy and assimilate our wastes. The ecological footprint is expressed in "global hectares" (gha) or "global acres" (ga), which are standardized units that take into account the differences in biological productivity of various ecosystems impacted by our consumption activities. Our footprint is broken down into four consumption categories: carbon (home energy use and transportation), food, housing, and goods and services. Our footprint is also broken down into four ecosystem types or biomes: cropland, pastureland, forestland, and marine fisheries. My life style currently is: a family of three living in a family house of around 200 square meter, own a car, healthy food diet, and once per year family trip. C. Explain quantitatively the relative impact of each of the input items on the footprint.

...temperature of the lowest layers of Earth's atmosphere. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Primary greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone . Carbon dioxide, as well as other greenhouse gases, is a very important factor in the vital cycles which sustain life on this planet, plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and release oxygen necessary to maintain the lives of animal species, who through exhaling return carbon dioxide in atmosphere, completing the cycle .Greenhouse effect is a natural process which made life on Earth feasible. Our planet's surface temperature would have been 33 degrees Celsius cooler, -18 C instead of present 15 C, if not for naturally occurring greenhouse gases . The temperature of Earth's atmosphere is regulated by a process in which the quantity of energy Earth gets from the Sun is poised by the amount returned back into space. Greenhouse gases in atmosphere let the energy in and prevent it from escaping, directing it back to Earth's surface . By the greenhouse effect, in the discussions of the global warming and other environmental problems, people mean "the enhanced effect which is caused by the increase of greenhouse gases from human sources” . Science brings different theories about the primary causes of the global warming...

...implement fear into everyday life. True or untrue, conspiracies are still followed, almost religiously, by many people. Theories that are wrong are still being pursued by people, and the choices they make based on those theories influence how they live their life. Conspiracies start from a source that is displeased by a particular group or activity. The source of the conspiracies usually makes them to slander the group that they are displeased with. The global catastrophe, which was known as the end of the world, compelled fear into the minds of people everywhere. For decades, 2012 was prophesized as being the end. The Mayans had carved a calendar that mysteriously stopped on December 21, 2012. Because the Mayans were such a highly respected and omniscient civilization, people instantly believed that the world would end based on their predictions from thousands of years ago. “The Maya invented an accurate calendar almost 2,000 years ago which measured time in 394-year periods known as baktuns and some anthropologists believe the 13th baktun ends on December 21. While some experts say the calendar never actually predicted an apocalypse, it has been interpreted that way by doom mongers all over the world.”(“End” N.A.). Others believed that a massive planet, four times the size of Jupiter, called Nibiru would collide with the earth or come close enough to shift the world’s polar axis and cause a worldwide pandemonium. It was first predicted to strike Earth in May 2003.The date passed...

...advantage. Planet earth’s resources, one way or another, are used to support the creation of these inventions. We must come together to conserve our resources, the resources that are vital for human existence. Individuals are creating alternative ways to everyday life that directly influence our impact on Mother Nature; these developments are subject areas for green technology. To learn about green technology we first have to understand what it means to be green and the terminology of technology. When a co-worker come to you and says, “I am going green”, more often than not, they are not talking about the color green. They are referring to their decision to become eco-friendly. The second part we must try to understand the meaning of technology. The “Business Dictionary,” defines technology as, “The purposeful application of information in the design, production, and utilization of goods and services, and in the organization of human activities” (Business Dictionary, 2013). When combined these two entities lead to the creation of eco-friendly designs, products, services, and organizations. Numerous amounts of new technology are becoming readily available, while older technology is being revamped. Subject areas of green technology include: energy, green building, environmentally preferred purchasing, green chemistry, and green nanotechnology (Green Technology, 2006). These areas taking tiny steps in the right direction, they are reducing our footprint on earth by creating...

...Interstellar Crop blight has made growing food on Earth nearly impossible, threatening the existence of humanity. Joe Cooper, a widowed former NASA pilot, runs a farm with his father-in-law Donald, son Tom, and daughter Murphy. Murphy believes her bedroom is haunted by a poltergeist. When the "ghost" creates a pattern of dust on the floor, Cooper realizes an unknown intelligence is using gravity to communicate, and interprets the pattern as geographic coordinates, which Cooper and Murphy follow to a secret NASA installation. There, they meet Dr. Brand, a college professor of Cooper's. Brand reveals that a wormhole, apparently created by an alien intelligence, appeared near Saturn 48 years before and leads to a distant galaxy, 10 billion light-years from Earth and the Milky Way, with numerous potentially habitable planets. Twelve volunteers have gone through it, knowing they were unlikely to be able to return, each to assess a different planet's suitability as a new home for humanity. Three – Miller, Edmunds and Mann – have sent encouraging data from planets near Gargantua, a super massive black hole. Brand recruits Cooper to pilot the spacecraft Endurance to evaluate as many of the planets as possible, while he works on a theory to harness gravity for propulsion, which would allow humanity to leave Earth (which he calls "Plan A"). However, should his efforts fail, the Endurance also carries 5,000 frozen embryos as "Plan B", to provide for humanity's survival. Cooper agrees to...

...Today I want to talk about the facts, disperse the myths and highlight the many ways we can help save our planet. Our planet is slowly dying right beneath our feet. Our planet has risen 0.6 of a degree for the past ten years. The United Nations panel has predicted that the temperature will rise 3-10 degrees Fahrenheit by the century’s end. Yet we are still burning coal and oil the two of the world’s most top reasons why global warming is happening. If we do not do anything about it what we call as our today we will be saying was our planet yesterday. If global warming continues and temperatures continue to rise then it will be enough to have the polar caps all but melted. If this happens majority of Americas border will be under water including the famous city New York. Monuments and great building, as well as homes and lives will be lost forever, unless we all work together and take action to stop global warming today! I know we are all concerned about the effect global warming we can feel its affects on a daily basis. Yes we have heard it all before, but what can we do as individuals do to help save our planet? If everyone made some minor changes in their life than it we will have already started in saving our planet. Australia is particularly vulnerable to global warming environmentally and economically. We already live on the driest inhabited continent on earth. We are already experiencing more severe droughts in the bush, and water shortages in our cities. Victoria...
