Write a paper addressing the following issue: • Give specific examples of at least two (2) production and two (2) consumption habits humans have related to material resources. These are discussed in Chapter Four of Contemporary Environmental Issues, which includes production of all types of consumer goods as well as consumption of environmental resources. • Discuss efforts that must be considered about these production and consumption habits in order to sustain the global population?
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 1 DQ 1 Biomes and Diversity SCI 207 Week 1 DQ 2 Trends in the Environment • Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? • In the 1980s a popular environmental slogan was "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" and now "Go Green," is a popular message. Consider the Reusable Grocery Bags sold in markets everywhere. What are the pros and cons that you see in this latest trend? Give examples of the potential environmental impact.
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 1 Laboratory Population Biology SCI 207 Week 2 DQ 1 Food and Agriculture • SCI 207 Week 1 Laboratory Population Biology • In the United States, we are fortunate to have an abundant supply of food, and much of this is due to our agricultural technology. However, there are many concerns about our food source, including genetically modified crops, the use of more chemicals, and climate change just name a few. Give examples of how humans have increased their food supply and what effects these methods have on the environment overall. Discuss concerns you have about the overall safety of the food you eat?
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 2 DQ2 SCI 207 Week 2 Laboratory 2 Land Use in Pinchot • Examine the obvious environmental impacts as well as significant social and physical ramifications of urban sprawl. What is the relationship between landscape and psychological well being? After defining this relationship, discuss how the presence or absence of natural beauty in your environment affects your psychological well being on an everyday basis. Give at least one specific example. • Visit Land Use in Pinchot Lab (accessible through the Labs section of Contemporary Environmental Issues) and complete the virtual lab. In this lab you will apply the scientific method to examine how thresholds of land use changes such as deforestation and urban sprawl can impact communities, predator/prey relationships, species diversity, and quality of life in human communities.
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 3 Assignment Final Paper Outline SCI 207 Week 3 DQ 1 Water Cycle • The outline must contain: • Introduction with thesis statementAt least five body paragraphsConclusionReference page The global water cycle provides renewable water, but a number of factors affect how much freshwater is available for human consumption. Describe these factors and circumstances. When do human interventions in water availability pose serious problems to freshwater accessibility?
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 3 DQ 2 Age of Oil SCI 207 Week 3 Quiz • In Chapter Six of Contemporary Environmental Issues, the past century has been referred to as the Age of Oil. As we reach a possible peak in oil production, what alternatives are forming? Consider the role of OPEC, perhaps, in reorganizing and monitoring oil production. What do you think is the most viable way to address after effects of this possible peak? • What makes aquifers most susceptible to drought? • The answer can be found in Section 5.1 Water Supply and the Hydrologic Cycle, in Contemporary Environmental Issues. • What drives the hydrological cycle? • The answer can be found in Section 5.1 Water Supply and the Hydrologic Cycle, in Contemporary Environmental Issues. • Which of the following is the most important greenhouse gas?
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 4 Assignment Nuclear Power SCI 207 Week 4 DQ 1 Climate and Air Pollution All energy sources have drawbacks. Even the clean hydropower option has negative ramifications. Weigh those against the possible consequences of developing nuclear power, a controversial alternative to fossil fuels. Discuss the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster as well as the 20th century Chernobyl nuclear meltdown in drawing conclusions about risk versus reward of nuclear energy use. • Climate change is an environmental issue in the news almost daily, and air pollution impacts us on a global level. What are the implications of global warming? Do you think the efforts to improve air quality are worth the economic costs?
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 4 DQ 2 Energy SCI 207 Week 4 Laboratory Greenhouse Gases • Most of us are aware of the energy concerns of today and the future. There are many pros and cons to the energy sources we currently use. For this forum choose one of the following to discuss: • If you had to argue the benefits of nuclear energy, what would they be? What are the risks? Support your claims with at least two references in addition to your text in support of your position. Cite your sources in APA format Visit Greenhouse Gases Lab (accessible through the Labs section of Contemporary Environmental Issues) and complete the virtual lab. In this lab you will use a computer model to explore how human activities are creating a blanket of heat-trapping pollution in Earth’s atmosphere. The model illustrates sources of top heat-trapping pollutants and their general impacts on Earth’s temperature
SCI 207 ASH Courses SCI 207 Week 5 DQ 1 Waste SCI 207 Week 5 DQ 2 Green Intelligence • What waste disposal methods are available to humans and how might they be more effective? What initiatives or incentives could governments create to better equip citizens for managing their own waste, garbage, and recyclables? Define the main goals and strategies of green intelligence. Do you think market-based approaches could save the planet? Why or why not?
