The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Lasting Damage
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper. In 1989, the Exxon Valdez dumped 11 million gallons of oil in Prince William Sound, Alaska. At the time, the common consensus was that time would heal nature and within a couple of years, the ecosystem would most likely recover. That was a massive error in thinking. Thirteen years later, species are still recovering and some may never fully recover. This paper discusses what scientists and researchers have discovered about the long-term effects of huge oil spills, species that are and are not recovering and lifestyles that never recovered.

The Fate of the Earth
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the undeniable fact that any and every environment can support only a certain level of load placed upon it by its varied inhabitants. The load consists of the resources the inhabitants consume, as well as the wastes they expel. When that consumption and waste load exceeds what the environment can tolerate, the environment, quite simply, begins to break down. It is this very elementary fact that must be kept as the foremost component in our consciousness when considering environmental concerns and the conservation of natural resources. Without such consciousness, the fate of the earth and humanity along with it is undeniably bleak. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
