This paper is about the power plant issue and how it is an environmental sustainability issue, and who it will affect, what causes the issue, and how the government can regulate or not regulate it, and the solutions that can be proposed to help with this issue. The issue is that power plants cause many additional problems to the environment just so people can have electricity. Fossil fuel-fired power plants are the nation’s largest source of carbon dioxide, the leading global warming pollutant” (Environment Ohio Research & Policy Center, 2013). “In the United States, warmer temperatures caused by global warming have already increased the frequency and severity of heat waves and heavy downpours, resulting in more intense wildfires, floods, droughts, and tropical storms and hurricanes” (Environment Ohio Research & Policy Center, 2013). “In 2011, power plants were responsible for 42 percent of all U.S. global warming pollution” (Environment Ohio Research & Policy Center, 2013). “Power plants use water for cooling, reducing the amount of water available for irrigation, wildlife, recreation or domestic use” (Environment Ohio Research & Policy Center, 2013).

Athletes are also the main users of sunscreen as they often do exercises under sunlight over a long period of time; therefore they have to apply sunscreen to prevent long-term damage on their skin. It is stated that only a tiny amount of sunscreen is enough to reach the desire effect and protection. The prices of these kinds of lotion vary a lot as it depends on their SPF(Sun Protection Factor) rating as well as PA degree, ranging from $60 to $250+.

Skin cancer originates within the skin. In the event that the skin cancer is left uncontrolled, the cancer cells have the potential of spreading from skin to other tissues as well as organs. Generally, skin cancer affects most of the people worldwide as compared to the other types of cancer. This is mostly due to the fact that skin forms part of the largest organs within human body. There are various skin cancer genres. The most common type of skin cancer is the basal cell carcinoma. On the other hand, the type of skin cancer which is least common is melanoma, but it has been categorized as the most dangerous. The other skin cancer type which is considerably common is squamous cell carcinoma. Both the basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are commonly termed as nonmelanoma. Other least common nonmelanoma cancers of skin are cutaneous lymphoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma alongside merkel cell carcinoma. In most cases, melanoma originates from the skin surfaces which are directly exposed to the sun. In addition, melanoma has the capability of spreading very quickly all over the body unlike nonmelanoma. (Kantor ¶ 1, 2009).

He drives the full truck back to his company’s yard in Werribee. He leaves it parked there overnight, intending to drive it to a remote dump the next day. A municipal inspector sees the truck in the yard and discovers that the soil in the truck is toxic waste. The inspector tells Alex that the law forbids storing such materials near a river or river bed without a special permit. Alex admits that the soil is contaminated and says that he cannot produce a permit. The Werribee River is three kilometres from the haulage company’s yard. The inspector makes a report to the Police, who charge Alex with a breach of s 3 of an Act called the Contamination Avoidance Act. Alex is given the option of admitting guilt and paying a fine of $1,000. Otherwise, he will have to defend the charge in court. Alex asks for your advice. He admits the soil was left in the yard, but says it was only left there overnight and that he always intended to move it the next day. He says that, in these circumstances, he does not...
