The United States depends on fossil fuels, like oil and coal, for energy. According to experts these sources will exhaust by the year 2050. Fossil fuels also pollute the environment. So we need to search for alternative energy sources which are reliable and renewable.Wind power is the force of the wind harnessed by windmills and wind turbines that convert it into electricity. Because wind is a clean and renewable source of energy, modern wind turbines are being installed in many countries to supplement more traditional sources of electric power, such as burning coal. After the oil crisis of the 1970s, many countries launched programs to develop modern wind turbines. While many of these

Rising oil price has a profound impact on people's life everywhere. Therefore, an recent issue involving the price of oil and what should the government do has been brought up. Personally, I think the government should issue free public transit and encourage more people to ride their bicycles to work. The government should also search for other alternative sources a energy to replace oil in the near future.The reason oil price has been so high in the last few years is because of supply and demand. Nowadays, most people use their cars to get them to where they want to go. Therefore, I think the government should make public transit free. I have several friends who no longer drive their car

. In the article, it is stated that "boys have higher levels of testosterone and lower levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which inhibits aggression and impulsivity. That may help explain why more males than females carry through with suicide, become alcoholics and are diagnosed with ADD." Researchers also believe that boys who are obligated to shut down positive emotions are left with only one socially acceptable outlet, which is anger. "When boys repress normal feelings like love because of social pressure, they've lost contact with the genuine nature of who they are and what they feel. Boys are in a silent crisis. The only time we notice it is when they pull the trigger." In later

Our earth’s climate has been stable for a very long time ago. We know it’s out
there, not in the distant future, not at the end of the century, but now. The striking climate

water. This is a major problem because water is one of the most important resources in the
world. The water supply in the U.S. is decreasing due to massive amounts of water being used
to take part in the fracking process. Millions of gallons a day are being used. An estimated 70
to 140 billion gallons of water was used Denver, Colorado (Fracking’s Environmental
Impacts: Water). This is only one oil fracking location, so imagine how much is being used
for all of the other oil bases in the country. If the water supply decreases, then the hope of
having efficient energy that was obtained by the wasting of millions of gallons of water will

relationship aligns well with the prompting statement when considering Dorothea (D) and Casaubon (C). Eliot shows that D’s empathetic nature makes her willing to accommodate C: ‘she seemed to be looking along the one track where duty became tenderness’. With the confident use of the word ‘failure’ in describing C, it is clear that D’s current moral crisis does not stem from an inability to accept her flawed perception of C. Rather, Eliot shows their non-communicative relationship, hindered mainly by C’s insecurities, as the source of her crisis. C regularly employs an approach of male superiority, which isolates D; upon her bringing up the topic of Will’s (W) employment, he states: ‘you have

Following the common theme of why global poverty is prevalent, the book, Climate
Change and Global Poverty: A Billion Lives in the Balance? by Lael Brainard, Abigail Jones,

two most imperative world issues are climate change and global poverty and this book suggests
that they are each other’s reason for existing. Using Africa as an example, with increased climate

It did not work out the way they planned because of the financial crisis and flip-flopping the political views. There are two ways to reduce the greenhouse gas emission in the United States: 1) Policy prescription 2) introducing new technology. It is important to have energy friendly technology that cuts back the GHG emission with managing the steady economy (Tulandhar). Government is still trying to come up with different ways to find a healthy balance between the economy and the climate change.

The Funds job is to focus on macroeconomic factors during a financial crisis, however, the Fund feels that the debt is not the problem it is transparency and not following the Washington Consensus that ails developing economies . The structural reforms that are made to free up cash hit social spending the hardest. Food, energy and housing subsidies are the first cuts to be made. Focusing on the cuts from austerity and structural reforms it appears the Fund feels subsidies are not a social safety net, rather they are a

Information technology plays a big role in obtaining the solution to that crisis. For instance, the industry has manufactured self-driving cars that save energy, buses, and metros which make public transport cheaper and reduce the number of personal cars on the road which means reduced gas emissions.

“Laudato Si’, mi’ Signore” means “Praise be to you, my Lord” and is, not by coincidence, taken from Saint Francis of Assisi. Scientists, philosophers, theologians, and civil groups share Pope Francis’ concern of ethical and spiritual roots with the roots of the earth. This encyclical covers a broad spectrum of topics. It presents the ecological crisis based on scientific research and it considers the principles of Judeo-Christianity and how they relate to the environment. It also offers guidelines for human development and proposes dialogues for action for international policy as well as for Christians attaining a spiritual experience. 6

The environment that we live in and the culture we exercise also play a role in obesity. When large portions of food are energy that is consumed into the body, sometimes not enough energy is burned out. When everyone around us is eating the same portion, the same unhealthy food, and doing similar activities, it is hard to just listen to your body and think how much it really needs. This leads to overeating, an inactive lifestyle, and mindless eating. When parents are obese, the children are more likely to be obese in the future. This is because children adopt their parents’ behavior. A child is more likely to have symptoms
