Marine Pollution
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing the ocean’s reaction to polluting influences. Unless shocked beyond recovery, any body of water has the power to at partially clean itself, given enough time and enough physical space. The great witness to that ability is that we have not been able to “kill” any vast areas, in spite of apparent attempts to do so. The paper describes how inland farming pollution adversely affected the southern North Carolina coast following Hurricane Fran in 1996. Shellfish populations and commercial fishing had nearly recovered by the time Hurricane Floyd caused extensive inland flooding in 1999. The effects on the ocean have already been seen as floodwaters have moved through rivers into the ocean; how long recovery will take from this disaster is unknown. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Alternatives for Municipal Waste
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper, with a one page outline, which discusses the current conditions relating to municipal waste and the alternatives that are being implemented to deal with the problems. The most obvious type of implementation being put into use today is recycling. Unfortunately, this does not always work. A definition of the types of recycling are illustrated. In addition we illustrate the method of waste-to-energy, which presents a very positive way to dispose of waste. Unfortunately no one method can prove completely effective, but perhaps through every possible way of disposing of waste, we can see the future in a more positive light in regards to refuse. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
