There is a saying in life that says “Treat others how you would like to be treated.” The human population unfortunately does not feel that concept also pertains to the environment. On the other hand, my group and I have come across an environmental concern that we feel humans are not made aware of. Have you ever heard how medical waste is growing? More than likely, the answer for many people is no, mainly because we are comfortable with the fact that we go to the doctor, and what happens when we

Conservation Letter Dear Community, I truly believe that the new resort that is being proposed should not be built. It will hurt the ecosystem of the phlox moth and many other species. Even though by building a new resort will help the economy, it will destroy the ecosystem and all the species living near it will not be living in peace. I ask my fellow community members to be on my side and help the ecosystem out. There are

air is getting dirtier because there aren’t enough trees. See trees, are a big part in cleaning our air. When people keep destroying our trees they’re also creating lower levels of clean oxygen, higher CO2 levels, and believe it or not animal extinction. People don’t know it, but they’re creating more problems in the world. Trees and rain forests aren’t only part of our planet’s lungs, but they are also part of its air conditioning system. Trees clean the air of carbon dioxide and they keep the

Primate Conservation Paper Our closest living relatives, the primates, are slowly going extinct due to our artificial need for an overabundance of resources. The immediate threats to primates in the wild thus far are human activities that disrupt their natural ecological niches. These threats include: deforestation, habitat fragmentation, hunting, live capture for the pet trade, and unethical biomedical research. Although there have been many group activists and researchers who protest as a way

Julian Yuliawan, Sean Kondas Energy: Conversion and Conservation Abstract The experiment performed was a test of the theory of conversion and conservation of energy for the elastic collisions of two steel balls. The apparatus used included two identical steel balls, a projectile launcher, and a pendulum. The distance traveled by a ball launched using potential energy stored in a spring was compared to the distance traveled by a ball launched using gravitational potential energy. Also, the ranges of the two launching methods were

Conservation Megan Boswell Whenever you conserve energy you not only save money, you also reduce the demand of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of CO2, the primary contributor to global warming, and other pollutants.

Energy conservation doesn’t differ from efficient energy use, which refers to using less energy for a constant

FREE FALL AND CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY ABSTRACT Free fall is defined as the ideal falling motion of an object that is subject only to the earth’s gravitational field. To prove the law of conservation of energy, the free fall motion of an object can be represented through 3 different analyses; position of the object vs. time, velocity of the object vs. time, and acceleration of the object vs. time. It is observed in this ball toss experiment, at any point during the free fall period,

solutions to it. Deforestation is the cutting down of a large area of trees and the destruction of forests by people. Forests are what we call an exhaustible resource, one which can be used up if it is not used carefully. Over the last few decades, deforestation has threatened the rainforests with total extinction. To understand why deforestation is such an important issue, you first have to understand why trees matter. Trees improve in many ways the life of all species, including the human race
