Our names are Heroes of the Sea. We chose that name because our group wants to educate individuals about how the ocean is being polluted. We thought of our favorite superheroes and of course, they are not real but we looked at the impact they made when it came to saving lives. Although we are not flying mutants with superpowers, we still feel like we have a mission, and that mission was to save as many people as possible by […]
River Pollution in China As humans continue to evolve and technology continues to advance, ecological devastation and climate change have begun to plague planet Earth. A mixture of overindulgence and large discounts addressed to the future have pushed civilization to a place of hostility. Science and fact is no longer the driving force behind environmental decision making, rather economic dividends and the endless journey to financial freedom seemingly determine the health and expiration date of the resource-rich rock we call […]

Urbanization has become a growing issue across the United States; most people prefer to live in larger cities where there are more opportunities and arguably better ways of life. This increase in population in urban areas demands serious expansion outwards, most notably to the suburbs or rural areas, due to the lack of space. Thus, development is inevitable. Development may be beneficial for accommodating extra bodies, yet still has drastic consequences, especially on the environment, and on quality of life […]
Water is the most vital element among the natural resources and is critical for the survival of all living organisms including human, food production, and economic development (Raymond, 2016).

It doesn’t matter what size body of water, all bodies can in some shape be polluted. […]
Water pollution is an issue covering the United States that is not taken seriously. Being that water is scarce, only three percent of our country’s water is freshwater, which has to be divided by hundreds of thousands of people. Even though water is a renewable resource, pollution makes the water toxic causing it to be useless. Contaminated water will not only harm us, it will damage our environment and multiple other resources we depend on to survive. Humans are the […]

We never realized how easy it is to obtain water but we almost never think how necessary it is for man, animals and plants. Next to the air we breathe, water is the most important thing in our lives. Human bodies, animals and plants contain more water than any substance, without it, we could die. Water is one of our natural resources that will never dry up but fresh,clean water is not always available. Many people are unaware of how […]
Despite being one of the most prominent issues in our world, water pollution is commonly overlooked in our society, particularly groundwater pollution. Even environmental activists can have very little knowledge on how impactful this problem really is, but the fact remains that groundwater pollution is a terrifying reality lurking just beneath our feet. By ignoring this issue, multiple societies hace allowed themselves to pump the pure groundwater full of nitrates and other harmful chemicals. Payal Sampat, a senior researcher at […]
Is plastic affecting our world to the point where we might need to take action? Plastics have taken over our oceans, lakes, and every product we use. Marine animals such as fish, turtles, seals, seabirds, whales, etc. are being affected by the plastic being flushed, littered or even windblown into the ocean. Our air is being polluted by tiny plastics called microplastics. It is possible that all fish go extinct by the year 2050. The percentage of the trash in […]
Water pollution is when any body of water is contaminated to the point that it harms living organisms or makes the water unsuitable for use. Out of the 70% of water that covers our Earth, only 2.5% of it is fresh water and sustainable for use. For the reason that only 2.5% of it is fresh, every year over three million people die prematurely from “contracting infectious diseases spread by contaminated water or having too little water for adequate hygiene” […]
Water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes belonging in the family pontederiaceae is a wildly invasive plant species believed to be indigenous to South America. Left unchecked its growth has led to a myriad of problems in major fresh water ecosystems around the globe. It interferes with fishing and fish processing and also, interferes with domestic and irrigation uses of the lakes. Major disadvantages related with the water hyacinth include blocking of water ways, interference with navigation and irrigation channels among others. Socio-economic […]
For my ethical issue, I will be talking about lake Okeechobee and how the pollution from the environment are destroying our lakes and wildlife. It is the second largest fresh water lake in the United States. It is over seven hundred square miles. A long time ago wetlands formed deposits and eventually made a lake. Rain, warmth and poisons have caused a flare-up of lethal green growth blossoms, which can cause medical issues. Presently, administrators in Florida need the representative […]
Water is essential for the survival of living organisms.On an average, a human being consumes about 2 litres of water every day. Water accounts for about 70% of the weight of a human body. About 80% of the earth’s surface (i.e. 80% of the total 50,000 million hectares in area) is covered by water. Out of the estimated 1,011 million km3 of the total water present on earth, only 33,400 km3 of water is available for drinking, agriculture, domestic and […]
