1. Saving Wildlife: Is It Truly Worth It? Saving Wildlife: Is it truly worth it? Is saving wildlife truly worth it? According to Robert Carter, "we cannot afford to fail in our mission to save a living planet" (Carter, 1). Wildlife is truly vital to the survival of the human species. If as a society we don't try to help, then we can expect the extinction of all animals and later the extinction of humans. The Earth we live on and all the wildlife that live with us are a giant part of our lifestyle. They offer food as well as the being a major part of the life cycle. The author, Robert Carter, states there are 5 reasons why everyone should try to save wildlife. The five reasons include saving a planet of life, improving human lives, species recovery, inspiration, and helping the...show more content... The food chain needs to be in a constant standing in order for humans to thrive as well. Wildlife can drastically alter human lives. According to Robert Carter, "by protecting species, we also protect the essential goods and services that make our lives possible and contribute enormously to human health and well–being – breathable air, clean water, food, fibers, building materials, medicines, energy, fertile soils, climate regulation, transport, and recreational and spiritual values" (1). To explain, animals do have a major impact on the community. Most medicines comes from the environment, such as plants. Without most of these medicines, humans will also slowly die off. Animals can be an incredibly important asset to a village. When they are removed from a certain area then it can alter the dynamic of a village." I was very glad that the coolie had been killed;it put me legally in the right and it gave me a sufficient pretext for shooting the elephant"(Orwell 153). The story takes place in the 1900's, so the population does not have electricity. In the story, the elephant carried heavy items for the humans. The animal served as machinery in such a poor village. When the person shot the elephant, the population did not know that the elephant was the main source in their transportation of heavy items. How would the species recover if all of it is going extinct? How does the species recover? According to Robert Carter, "China is the only ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

3. Environmental Science Essay Environmental Fundamentals Laura Jackson Env/100 April 8, 2013 JOHN ENSWORTH Environmental Fundamentals Introduction Environmental science is defined as the study of the environment and the interconnecting systems it contains, furthermore, the way people interact with their natural surroundings and use natural resources (wise geek, 2013). Scientist in this field is highly interdisciplinary and extremely diverse, for example, a scientist might study volcanoes or climate change. This essay will cover the following; the definition of environmental science, the relationship between science and technology and how it affects environmental problems; the concept of environmental sustainability and why it should be studied; how human...show more content... Environmental Sustainability Environmental sustainability is the process of making sure current processes of interaction with the environment are pursued with the idea of keeping the environment as pristine as naturally possible based on ideal–seeking behavior (Wikipedia, 2010). What makes environmental sustainability so important is that it demands that society designs activities to meet human needs while indefinitely preserving the life support systems of the planet (Wikipedia, 2010). Human consumption can only use the nature's resources at a rate that can be replenished naturally. Human Values affecting Society The most devastating environmental change of all is the loss of biodiversity. The rate of species extinction has remained at one species per million per year, furthermore, the accelerating destruction of habitats throughout the world leads to projections of the loss of two–thirds of all species on earth by the end of this century, and millions of years to recover from the Cretaceous period (mindfully.org, 2013). As individuals, we obtain our food, directly or indirectly from plants, for example, plant our primary use of medicines. Biodiversity also determines the properties of communities and ecosystems, which capture energy from the sun. The world is less resilient, more homogeneous, less interesting, and with fewer opportunities for our descendants and ourselves: where the process reaches
