Environmental Issues

Research a political candidate that is running in an upcoming election. Research their platform, and where they stand on sustainability issues. Your presentation should summarize their environmental platform, and explain how voting for them would impact the future of sustainability.

Environmental Hazards Increase in Environment Related Health Hazards in Recent Years The study of environmental health is crucial to one’s understanding of the hazards and potential adverse effects posed by environmental agents and the extent to which environmental factors play a role in human disease. This foundation is essential for being an effective advocate for preventing environmentally caused diseases and for more advanced study of environmental health issues. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on the topic, “Health Hazards Caused Due to the Environment in the Recent Past.” On the basis of your research and understanding of the topic, create a 3- to 4-page (except the title and the reference pages) Microsoft Word document that addresses the following questions: Discuss one type of environmental health problem that you have in your own community. Explain how you can determine whether you are exposed to increased levels of environmental hazards in your home. Identify and explain the types of associations found between environmental hazards and health outcomes. Explain a relationship between exposure to a hazard in the environment and degenerative brain disease, such as Alzheimer. Explain why children are more vulnerable to environmental toxins than adults. What types of policies are needed to protect vulnerable populations from environmental hazards? Submission Details Support your responses with reasoning and examples. Cite any sources in APA format.

After you gather enough information, please write a 2-page opinion paper on the topic that you chose. This paper will contain 5 paragraphs – introduction to topic, pro-side, con-side, your personal opinion, conclusion.

Below is the instructions for the Review Paper given By the Professor: Environmental Literature Review Paper:  What is it? A review article is not an original study. It examines previous studies and compiles their data and evidence to reach a conclusion that is statistically stronger than any in the single studies, mainly because of having more study subjects and more diversity among subjects. A good review usually concentrates on a theme, such as different theories, information on the progress of developing a new medical device, or how past developments influence new discoveries. A review might also ask that more resources be used to continue research in that specific field.  Literature Searches Authors must ensure that the sources are legitimate research studies and so only use Google Scholar to find scientific articles for your review. Sources such as Popular Science and WebMD.com are not allowed to be used as sources for review articles. Your paper should include a minimum of 5 references. Manuscript Preparation Times New Roman, 12 point, 1.0-inch margins on all four sides, and 1.5 line spacing.

Accordingly, there is a need to map the literature and create an overview of the research. Methods: A scoping review approach was used to map literature on GS, including context and co-exposures (the GS exposome), and their associations with mental HWB. The review considers mental HWB definitions and measurements and how GS is characterized. Furthermore, the review aims to identify knowledge gaps and make recommendations for future research. Results: We identified a great diversity in study designs, definitions, outcome measures, consideration of the totality of the GS exposome, and reporting of results. Around 70% of the 263 reviewed studies reported a positive association between some aspect of GS and HWB. However, there is a limited amount of research using randomized controlled crossover trails (RCTs) and mixed methods and an abundance of qualitative subjective research. Conclusions: The discords between study designs, definitions, and the reporting of results makes it difficult to aggregate the evidence and identify any potential causal mechanisms. We propose key points to consider when defining and quantifying GS and make recommendations for reporting on research investigating GS and mental HWB. This review highlights a need for large well-designed RCTs that reliably measure the GS exposome in relation to mental HWB. Keywords: green space; mental health and wellbeing; exposome

Consideration of materials handling is very important in discussing the fundamentals of ergonomics because just about all organizations in the manufacturing and construction sectors require employees to handle materials.  As you are well aware, when it comes to handling materials of any sort, you are frequently required to bend, lift, twist, and reach. If these types of movements are conducted frequently and under load, they can cause a range of musculoskeletal disorders, which we will also consider in this unit.     Assignment : Question 1 Explain the relationship between the L5-S1 vertebrae and how a bulging disc might affect the spinal nerve. Be very specific by using anatomical terminology. What strategies could you recommend to avoid these types of injuries? Your response should be 175 words.   Question 2   Imagine that you are leading a training event to help prevent back injuries, and you are teaching students the proper way to lift. Describe, in detail, your recommended steps for lifting a box from a tabletop and placing the box on the floor in a way that would not create any pain or ergonomics issue(s). Your response should be 175 words.

American Government All of these points must be covered in your paper. The approximate number of pages for each point are listed Good papers will be 7-8 pages of content in total using double spaced 11 point Calibri or times (if it goes longer that is fine), using full grammar and citations (MLA, APA, Chicago etc, whatever you are comfortable with). Sources must be cited. Climate Change caused by increased carbon emissions is now a global catastrophe that will affect us all in some way in the future if nothing is done. The debate has now shifted both in the public and scientific community from “if” Climate Change is happening and we are causing it, to “how badly” it will harm our planet. However, the current administration is denying climate change, and doing numerous things to dismantle climate change policy even as 2017 was the warmest year on record for Antarctica (and 2018 is expected to follow suit). If you want to argue that the human aspect climate change is not occurring, you are welcome to, but do not make it the entire focus of the paper (that is only for part 1). 1. An introduction to discussing Climate Change, what it is and what it does to our planet. This should NOT be a summary plagiarized from Wikipedia (since I’ve contributed to many of those pages), but a detailed description of how we are releasing greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere (the biggest of which is carbon), what these greenhouse gases are doing to the environment, and how Climate Change is affecting us. PLEASE NOTE: I do not want a long lengthy discussion regarding if climate change is caused by humans or not, it is already happening and not the focus of this paper. You can take the other side on this section regarding weather or not humans are causing it, but do not make it the entire paper, because the effects of climate change are real and happening right now. (2 pages). 2. Pick a specific issue that is most important to you. Some examples include (but are not limited to): sea level rise and the destruction of our coast lines; more extreme weather patterns including hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts; lack of fresh drinking water and food shortages due to decreased crop yields; increased terrorist activity and conflict; global migration of refugees due to limited resources (2-3 pages). 3. Finally, discuss how the “Iron Triangle” (Description of the Iron Triangle can be found through Google) plays into this issue. What should Congress do to help reduce Climate Change (1pg)? What must the Bureaucracy/President do to help reduce climate change (2pg)? How do Interest groups in this debate stall action from Congress and the Bureaucracy/President, and what must both branches do to resist the influence of energy and oil lobbyist groups (3 pages total)? PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN THE ESSAY: – The EPA having very few laws which allow them to regulate the Environment – The two most important ones being the 1970 Clean Air Act, and the 1972 Clean Water Act – The Greenhouse Effect No pulling directly from Wikipedia, instead, use their sources and please pull from the actual websites. I have actually written a lot on this topic on the site, so you could be plagiarizing me. ALL YOUR WORK SHOULD BE CITED, if you fail to cite something, I will consider that plagiarism. ESSAY ASSESSMENT : * Have you succinctly and clearly stated the main argument in the first paragraph? (Summary of the topic) * Have you fully discussed how Climate Change affects our planet, what is causing it, and what the outcomes will be unless something is done to reduce the impact? * Have you made a compelling argument for what is the worst impact of Climate Change? * Have you described what role Congress plays and what they need to do to reduce the impacts of Climate Change? * Have you described what role Bureaucracy/President plays in reducing the impacts of Climate Change? * Have you described what role Interest Groups play in stopping Congress and the Bureaucracy/President from implementing solutions to Climate Change and what must be done to stop this? * Demonstrate evidence of effective proofreading/editing? * Have you effectively used relevant sources (our book/lectures, class materials, journals, reputable news sources) and is it free from plagiarism? Not copied directly from Wikipedia. Have you included accurate bibliography/citation?
