Environmental issues?
I have a project at school and we have to do a project on an environmental issue. I don’t want to do pollution because everyone else is doing it. Any environmental issues I should do a project on? And is poaching considered a environmental issue?
The Expert answers:
Tell them about environmental legislation that ends up with adverse externalities or the law of unintended consequences. Use the premium paid for corn by our government to promote the production of ethanol for auto and truck fuel to cut pollution. Then tell them how this law deprived Mexicans from being able to afford corn tortillas a staple in their diet. Tell how 80,000 migrant Mexican farm workers were put out of work by Barbra Boxer and Diane Feinstein because they want to protect the delta smelt (a small fish about the size of your pinkie from extinction when States like Michigan have an overabundance of these fish to the extent that they net them and sell them on the open market as food. I have given you a start, there are many more REAL examples besides these.

Environmental Issues?
hi, what are some environmental issues? what are some things i can do at home to save money and to not waste energy? also, how would i go about making a poster for other people to look at it and to stop wasting energy
The Expert answers:
Ride a bike to get around.
Turn off lights and other devices when not using them.
Use less water to wash. And, turn off the water while soaping up in the shower.
Recycle whatever you can.
Grow your own garden.
Poster: I think you can illustrate each of the suggestions above, showing a hand turning off a faucet (with a drop falling), show a person soaping in the shower with the water off, show a small trickle of water as a person scrubs a carrot, show a recyling container with a kid tossing in a soda can.
Recycling aluminum is one of the most energy-saving things we can do.

What environmental issues are currently surrounding Shell Island?
What environmental issues are currently surrounding Shell Island? Explain these issues from the point of view of the tourists, government, and local people who own real estate. What is your opinion on these issues?
The Expert answers:
I believe the issues on Shell Island are around volcanic eruptions. That involves the real estate because no one wants to invest in a environmental hazard. This causes a result in losses for the real estate.
Donald asks…
What are some environmental issues that are affecting animals?
I have to write a two page paper on some type of environmental issue and I want to incorporate something into my paper that interests me, and that’s animals. So what are some environmental issues that are affecting animals?
The Expert answers:
1) Destruction of natural environment — deforestation, or in Arctic, melting of ice that is making life difficult for polar bears
2) Pollution, BP, but also careless disposal of household wastes that slowly are killing and/or deforming creatures such as salamanders, toads and frogs
3) Stormwater (often contaminated with sewage and gas/oil from roadways) that harms creatures in freshwater — also, the disappearing wetlands from construction; wetlands naturally clean runoff but are rapidly being lost — several difficult to replicate saltwater wetlands were harmed for decades by BP
4) Dams and so forth that disrupt routes fish (such as salmon) use to spawn
5) Coal mining — disrupts and destroys natural environment for all types of mammals, amphibeans and fish by destroying wetlands and forests
etc. Etc. I could write a thesis on this.
