For their time, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, and Aldo Leopold held to beliefs that would influence conservationist ideals for many years to come. These pioneers of the concept of "harmony between men and land" (Leopold, 1949, p. 217) constructed a new wave of thinking towards conservation. Their work provided the foundations of contemporary thinking, which is more concerned with globalization and education than moral obligation. Although conservation is still a well discussed issue, many steps have yet to be taken to align society with the goals necessary to preserve a lush natural world. Pinchot held that the natural world exists for the sole "benefit of the people who live [on the Earth]" (Pinchot, 1910, p.33).…
Our environment is our responsibility and it is time that everyone starts working towards caring and protecting it. Although our planet is at stake and protecting it won’t happen overnight, addressing global issues of climate change needs to an integral activity for each individual. Human activity has changed our planet drastically so the actions of people need to be regulated and mitigated to ensure that the planet’s life becomes more manageable and well cared for. By doing so, we will be able to preserve the planet, humankind, and the species and combat the sixth extinction as advised by Elizabeth Kolbert. This is a very serious issue and people need to start applying the ideas of McDonough and O’Connor as well as Bill Gates. Rachel Carson, credited by many to have brought the issues of conservation to the public eye, believed that “people care about the problem of sharing the planet with other species” and that increasing this awareness would be enough to avert the global impact of Kolbert’s “sixth…
What is the world going to be like in the next 20 years? Will we still see the same animals as we see today? As a nation, the impact on the environment that we have is a very substantial amount. But what about individually impacting the environment? Many people believe that they have a little impact, so many people don’t think they need be conscious about the impact they have on the world’s animals and environment. If the world would realize that a one person, with a little impact they can join together and have 7.3 billion people having a small impact. With that big of an impact, the world would be a better living space and the future generations will get to enjoy the animals on the verge of extinction. Sandra Steingraber is an ecologist and…
Severn Cullis-Suzuki was only 12 years old when she spoke before the UN earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. A child speaking before adults representing all the countries in the world, yet her speech was anything but childish. It was an astonishing advice and an appeal to everyone to help stop the destruction of the earth’s resources. She spoke of deforestation, chemicals in the air, the waste and greed in our society, and the wanton destruction of animal and plant species that can never be brought back to life again.…

When signing up to be an organ donor you usually think only your major organs will be used; however, something as small as a ligament of yours is used in popular surgeries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. When someone tears their ACL they usually have a choice to have an autograft, or use one of their own ligaments, but they can also choose to have an allograft, or take a cadaver’s ligament to repair it. Each has it’s advantages and disadvantages, but I personally think that the better option is the allograft because I think the advantages are better than using your own ligament from another part of your body. The advantages consist of faster operative time, less post-operative pain, and a faster recovery time.…
