Advancement in gene technology
Advanced technology has made its way through centuries for electronic, vehicles, and medical. People have wanted to clone humans and animals to cure disease. We can change patient’s organs and extend their life span. Remember the movie Jurassic Park were they pulled DNA from a mosquito and was able to clone dinosaur. The things we can do in today’s day in age. I always thought that natural was the best way to go. Gene therapy is taking a broken gene…...

The Anthropocene
Recently, scientists suggest that we (people) have changed the earth's biosphere at a rate, and magnitude that meets or exceeds past geological boundaries. Not only has the population boomed at an alarming rate, but ecological problems are becoming unavoidable. Scientists believe that we have entered a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene. This new era has brought along complex and challenging social problems that affect individuals negatively. For humans, our first threshold occurred after the domestication of livestock, plants, and…...

The Essence of Permaculture
Agriculture was imposed as the main economic system about ten thousand years ago, constituting a key step in the development of humanity. For centuries we have learned to manage the resources that nature offers us, and now it is not easy to understand a society without agriculture, or what is the same, without the art of cultivating the land. However, in recent decades, we have observed how agricultural practices are causing environmental problems. These practices since the beginning of Green…...

Industrial Wastewater and Environmental Pollution
The one of the key factor of Environmental pollution is symbolized by any water body that is in flowing by industrial wastewaters. Additionally, it is partly responsible to impair the water quality, the microbial and aquatic flora and other life forms. Because of the excessive consumption of limited water resources and absence of awareness of the complications related to water pollution has resulted in substantial public debate over the period of time discharge of effluents by the industries are causing…...

Africa
Africa is the second largest continent on Earth. It is a vast plateau. The Atlantic Ocean lies on its west coast and the Indian Ocean lies on the east coast. The Mediterian Sea is to the north. The equator goes right through the middle of the continent, meaning that most of Africa is in the tropic zone. The continent of Africa has many different biomes. The biomes that are most prevalent on the continent are the tropical forest, the grasslands,…...
