The Clean Air Act & The Chemical Products Industry
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper. In an effort to be responsible corporate citizens and to remain one step ahead of forced regulation such as that overseen by the Environmental fcy (EPA), the chemical products industry and chemical manufacturers trade associations have adopted 'Responsible Care.' The motto is 'Don't trust us, track us.' EPA is approaching attainment of the requirements of the 1996 additions to the 1990 Clean Air Act with common sense. Combined with the commitment of the chemical products industry, there is real progress underway to total attainment by the target date of 2002, and many of the world's countries are already adopting variations of the programs.

The Abiotic Environment
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page paper discussing the contribution of the abiotic environment to the support of life.

The abiotic component encompasses environmental qualities such as water, temperature, acidity, nutrients available, osmotic pressure, light, soil structure and others. At its base, the entire system is driven by the energy of the sun, whether in terms of heat or light, and water is essential.

Future Energy Demands
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. In the not-too-distant future -- with regard to history's timeline -- there will come a point when fossil fuels will have been depleted and humans will be forced to find alternative sources with which to power automobiles, household heating units and myriad other machinery that utilizes fuel. However, waiting until supplies are exhausted before establishing a workable alternative would place a major hardship upon future energy demands. For this reason, various options -- not only those that supply a form of fuel but also those that reduce and often eliminate pollution -- have been in the works for several years. The writer discusses the issue of future energy demands and potential fuel alternatives. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Industrial Progress: Wonderland or Wasteland?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length.
Reviews two articles by Thomas Berry and Arne Naess that show
that some people will argue that industrial growth can be
accomplished without damaging world ecosystems. In fact, the
present consumer attitude is amoral because it does not generate
the sense of right and wrong that is required in order to act in
an environmentally responsible manner. In actuality, industrial
growth does not equal human growth. This paper takes the stance
that the consumer/industrial attitude is not compatible with
environment ethics. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
