The document discusses Garrett Hardin's concept of the "Tragedy of the Commons" and environmental issues caused by human behavior. It summarizes three concepts that have led to overuse of resources: that resources are unlimited, humans are separate from nature, and humans can conquer nature. However, facts show resources are finite and depletion is now difficult to recover from. The document identifies technology, apathy, insignificance, and self-centeredness as contributing to environmental deterioration and proposes both bottom-up and top-down approaches to solving problems.

And we thought we can go green
Millions of albatrosses on Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean have been found dead after ingesting large amounts of plastic that has been carelessly discarded in the ocean. Autopsies of the birds' bodies show massive chunks of plastic in their throats and stomachs. The area also receives substantial amounts of marine debris containing lead, poisoning the birds. A documentary film called Midway highlights this environmental tragedy in order to raise awareness of the harm caused by human callousness and mass consumption of plastic goods. The film presents the stark reality of how human activities like garbage disposal contribute to environmental degradation and the deaths of many species.
KSKL chapter 8 PPT
Soils are essential to supporting life and human civilization. As populations grow, pressures on soils increase and maintaining soil health is important. Throughout history, human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, and poor irrigation have led to soil degradation problems like erosion, desertification, and salinization. This has negatively impacted societies by reducing agricultural productivity and sometimes causing civilizations to fail. However, more recent initiatives show people rediscovering the importance of soils and taking steps to promote sustainable land use and soil conservation.
Creating and maintaining fertility
This document discusses creating and maintaining soil fertility through natural and human processes. It notes that soil fertility requires air, water, nutrients, living material, and beneficial relationships. First signs of soil formation come from the action of living and dying plants and animals. Birds help through dropping seeds and droppings. Even bare surfaces can support some life. Soil mineral and nutrient content varies based on the underlying bedrock. Humus from sources like compost and mulch brings nutrients and supports soil life. Organic farms use techniques like earthworms, ducks, and chicken tractors to improve soil fertility. Different plants have different effects - legumes fix nitrogen while some act as nutrient accumulators. Fungi are also important for soil

Deanna Geelhoed, Kara Smit, and Dr. Dave Warners conducted a study to determine the effects of soil treatments on the growth of five native plant species and weeds. They established 60 experimental plots with combinations of tilled or non-tilled soil and varying sand to compost ratios. Their results showed that some species like sedges and coreopsis preferred tilled soil while others like blazing star and little bluestem preferred non-tilled soil. Most species grew best in soil with a 90% sand and 10% compost ratio. Weed growth was not correlated with any soil treatment factors. The study provides initial insights into how to best establish and maintain native plantings but requires

Renewable and non renewable resources
This document classifies natural resources as either renewable or nonrenewable. Renewable resources, such as trees, plants, animals, water, sunlight and wind can be replenished naturally or through human efforts. Nonrenewable resources like coal, oil, natural gas, gold, silver and iron exist in finite amounts and get depleted once extracted from the earth. The document provides examples of renewable and nonrenewable resources and asks the reader to classify additional resources into the two categories.
6 renewable resources
This document defines and provides examples of different types of renewable energy resources, including solar energy generated from photovoltaic cells, hydroelectric energy from dammed rivers, wind energy captured by windmills, geothermal energy harnessed from hot magma underground, and biomass fuels produced from organic matter. It also notes specific renewable energy projects undertaken by the Tennessee Valley Authority, such as operating solar maps, using methane gas from a wastewater facility to supplement coal power, and locating a wind farm at Buffalo Mountain.

natural resources
The document provides an overview of natural resources and the environment. It discusses how life exists where the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact to form the biosphere. Natural resources include both biotic resources like plants and animals as well as abiotic resources like air, water, and soil. However, human population growth, urbanization, and industrialization have led to these resources being used unsustainably. The document then examines various natural resources in more depth, including the composition and layers of the atmosphere, the water and carbon cycles, nitrogen cycle, ozone layer, and the greenhouse effect.
Role of individual in saving natural resources
The document summarizes different types of natural resources including forest resources, water resources, mineral resources, food resources, land resources, and energy resources. It discusses threats to each resource and potential remedies to control depletion. The six main natural resource types are forest resources which provide wood, oxygen, and commercial products; water resources which face pollution threats; mineral resources including metallic and non-metallic minerals; food resources from agriculture; land resources impacted by erosion; and energy resources including renewable and non-renewable sources. Controlling depletion involves practices like reforestation, pollution control, sustainable mining and farming, and increasing renewable energy use.
Renewable and non renewable resources
Renewable resources such as solar, wind, water and biomass can be replenished naturally, unlike non-renewable resources like oil, coal and natural gas which are finite. Renewable resources provide nearly infinite energy but some options like solar are only available during daylight hours. Non-renewable resources produce little waste but are finite and their extraction and use pollutes the environment and contributes to climate change. Both renewable and non-renewable energy sources have economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages.
Environmental studies the multidisciplinary nature
Environmental studies is a multidisciplinary field that deals with how living organisms interact with their environment. It aims to increase awareness, knowledge, and participation to address real environmental problems. The objectives are to make people aware of environmental issues, provide knowledge about their causes and impacts, shape positive attitudes, teach relevant skills, improve evaluation abilities, and encourage participation in solutions. There is a need for greater public education due to threats like overuse of natural resources, pollution, and urbanization effects on quality of life. Formal education and non-formal programs target a wide range of groups, and both government and non-government organizations conduct environmental education and research.

ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENT STUDIES
The document provides an overview of environmental studies, including definitions of key terms like environment, biotic and abiotic factors, and components of the environment like the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. It discusses how technology can positively and negatively impact the environment. It also covers topics like environmental degradation, sustainable development, the multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies, and the roles of environmental education and engineering.
Basics of Environmental Studies
This document provides an introduction to environmental studies, including definitions of key terms and the relationships between the environment, ecology, and ecosystems. It discusses the components of the environment, including biotic and abiotic factors. It also examines the impact of technology and humans on the environment, including environmental degradation. Important questions are provided on these topics for further study.
Renewable & non renewable resources
The document discusses renewable and non-renewable resources. It defines renewable resources as natural resources that can replenish themselves, such as through biological reproduction, including agriculture, water resources, organisms that provide food/fibers/drugs. Renewable energy sources mentioned include solar, wind, geothermal power. Non-renewable resources are finite and do not replenish in human timeframes, including fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, natural gas. Specific renewable energy sources then discussed in more detail are tidal power, wind power, solar power, hydropower, and thermal energy.

Renewable And Non Renewable Sources Of Energy
The document discusses different types of energy sources, including renewable and non-renewable resources. It addresses issues like increasing energy usage due to population growth and economic development. Non-renewable fossil fuels are finite and cause pollution problems like acid rain and global warming. Solutions proposed include more efficient energy usage, renewable resources, and international agreements to reduce emissions.
Renewable & Nonrenewable Resources
Nonrenewable resources like coal, petroleum and natural gas cannot be replenished in a short period of time and will eventually run out. They were formed from ancient organisms millions of years ago. Renewable resources such as solar, wind, water and biomass can be naturally replenished in a short period of time through natural processes and are less finite than nonrenewable resources. The key difference between the two is whether the resource can be naturally replenished within human timescales.
Renewable non-renewable-energy-resources
Renewable and non-renewable energy resources and the importance of energy conservation are discussed. Renewable resources include solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biofuels which can be replenished. Non-renewable resources like coal, oil and gas are limited and their extraction causes environmental damage. Conservation of energy through efficient use and recycling is emphasized to reduce pollution and delay depletion of non-renewable resources.
Environment ppt
This document discusses the role of individuals in preserving natural resources. It defines natural resources and classifies them based on origin (biotic vs abiotic) and availability (renewable vs non-renewable). Some key natural resources mentioned are forests, water, minerals, food, land, and energy. The document then outlines various measures individuals can take to conserve forests (e.g. controlled deforestation and planting trees), water (e.g. reducing usage and pollution), minerals (e.g. recycling and substitution), food/land (e.g. organic farming and preventing erosion), and energy (e.g. efficient appliances and insulation). It stresses the importance of sustainability and responsibility of individuals and governments to preserve
renewable and non renewable resources
This document defines and provides examples of renewable and non-renewable natural resources. Renewable resources like oxygen, wood, and water can be replenished within human lifetimes through natural processes. Non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas take significantly longer to form and are finite in supply, being non-renewable on a human timescale. The document cautions that renewable resources are not endless, and provides context on misconceptions around resource renewability.
Renewable and Non- renewable energy Sources
Renewable energy is energy which is generated from natural sources i.e. sun, wind, rain, tides and can be generated again and again as and when required. Non-Renewable energy is energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity and will vanish fifty-sixty years from now.
Alternative Views: Our World from Different Angles
This document discusses different perspectives on the environment and humanity's relationship with nature. It begins by explaining how one's perspective shapes their view of the world and actions. Historically, resources were seen as infinite and nature was exploited. Satellite images in the 1970s gave a new perspective of Earth as a small, fragile planet. Stereotypes shape views by dehumanizing others. Western thought traditionally viewed nature as existing for human use. Other cultures emphasize balance and humanity's role within nature. The document examines how values influence whether nature is seen as having intrinsic or instrumental worth. It suggests obtaining new perspectives on humanity's interconnectedness with nature.
1.1 man vis avis nature. laxamana, anthonette fae
Man and nature have had differing relationships throughout history. In Christian times, nature was seen as signs of God's providence, though periods of blight were viewed as God's wrath for human sinfulness. During the Enlightenment, nature came to be seen as dead matter governed by discoverable laws. Industrialists saw nature as raw materials to exploit for valuable commodities. While nature and man coexist and nature provides resources for human survival, their relationship is also conflicted due to issues like natural disasters, lack of resources, and human encroachment on animal habitats. Being in nature benefits humans by reducing stress and increasing well-being.

Humans and the Environment
How do people ‘value’ the environment?
How do people perceive environmental risk?
Key concepts
▪ Environmental worldviews
▪ Cultural Theory of risk
▪ Political economy of risk
Why does this matter?
If we consider misplaced values and
perceptions as one cause of
environmental problems, we need to
understand theoretical frameworks that
attempt to explain peoples’
relationships with the environment in
order to respond to that.
1. Environmental worldviews
Environmental values, like all psychological and social constructs,
are found ‘within’ human individuals, institutions and societies,
and find expression and representation across all human
activities, relationships, and cultural products.
Reser, J.P. and Bentrupperbäumer, J.M., 2005. What and where are environmental values? Assessing the
impacts of current diversity of use of ‘environmental’and ‘World Heritage’values. Journal of Environmental
Psychology, 25(2), pp.125-146.
Ecocentric
The person is not above or
outside of nature. E.g. Deep
ecology, eco-feminism.
Biocentric
Does not distinguish
between humans and other
life on Earth.
Environmental worldviews
Commonly shared beliefs that give groups of people a sense
of how humans should interact with the environment.
Anthropocentric
Humans should manage
Earth's resources for our
own benefit. E.g. Planetary
management, stewardship,
‘no-problem’.
“…sowing and planting of trees had to
be regarded as a national duty of
every landowner, in order to stop the
destructive over-exploitation of
natural resources…”

How To Save Mother Earth Essay
The document discusses the destruction of Mother Earth through pollution and overconsumption of resources. It notes that 110 million Americans live in areas with harmful air pollution, and that the US uses 30% of the world's resources despite having only 5% of the population. This level of destruction and selfishness is unsustainable and will eventually lead to problems like homelessness and starvation. The document calls for people to come together to heal the Earth and live more sustainably.
Mastercourse Goldfinger CIP2012
The document discusses the serious risk of ecocide, or the destruction of the biophysical environment on which human life depends. It notes that while the ecological crisis is urgent and well understood, human behavior continues to make the problem worse due to various psychological factors. The role of psychiatry in addressing this "pathology" of self-destructive behavior is discussed, including how to shift behavior and build emotional resilience as conditions deteriorate from ecocide. Partnerships with other fields may be needed to facilitate the societal shift required to avoid environmental collapse.
Evo summative1 review
1. Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection to explain how populations of living things change over generations through the processes of variation, inheritance of traits, and the struggle for existence.
2. Prior scientists like Charles Lyell, James Hutton, and Jean Baptiste Lamarck contributed ideas that influenced Darwin, such as deep time and acquired characteristics, though Darwin's theory improved upon their ideas.
3. Natural selection acts on variation between individuals in a population - individuals with traits better suited to their environment will survive and reproduce more, passing on those favorable traits and causing populations to change over time as less suited traits diminish.
The Tragedy Of The Commons Essay
In his influential essay "The Tragedy of the Commons", Garrett Hardin argues that individuals acting in their own self-interest will ultimately deplete and degrade common resources. He uses the example of herders sharing a common pasture, where each herder adds more livestock for personal gain despite the negative impact on the pasture. This leads to the "tragedy" of the pasture being destroyed by overuse. Hardin contends that such "commons" tragedies can only be avoided by limits on resource use imposed through mutual coercion or private ownership.

Envisci 1.pptx
This lecture introduces environmental science by discussing its key topics and goals. It explains that environmental science is the interdisciplinary study of how natural systems function and how human activities impact the environment. The lecture outlines some of the main environmental pressures like population growth, resource consumption, and pollution. It emphasizes that humans rely completely on the environment for survival and discusses the concept of sustainability. The key themes are that humans are part of the natural world and environmental science can help address problems by developing solutions.
class 10 english
The document discusses the deteriorating health of the planet due to human activity. It notes that the world's principal biological systems like fisheries, forests, grasslands, and croplands are being depleted by overfishing, deforestation, and uncontrolled population growth. Unless sustainable development practices are adopted, future generations will be left with a degraded environment of advancing deserts and impoverished landscapes. The author argues for recognizing humanity's impact and enacting changes to protect natural resources for the future.
Considering Optimism and Pessimism in Conservation
These slides were used in a guided discussion on our causes for optimism and pessimism in conservation. It was based on Matt Ridley's The Rational Optimist, and Stephen K. Meyer's The End of the Wild, and was delivered as part of an undergraduate study abroad course considering wildlife conservation in Madagascar.
APES Ch. 1, part 2
This document provides an overview of various topics related to pollution, environmental problems, and sustainability. It discusses two main types of pollution - point source and nonpoint source pollution. It also describes two main types of pollutants - biodegradable and nondegradable pollutants. The document notes that preventing pollution is more effective than cleaning it up afterwards. Several reasons for environmental problems are explored, including population growth, wasteful resource use, poverty, failure to include environmental costs, and lack of environmental knowledge. Sustainable development and stewardship worldviews are discussed.
Bio diversity and_indian_society
This document discusses biodiversity and its importance for human life and society in India. It argues that human civilization has largely been based on destroying and exploiting natural elements and biodiversity for wealth maximization. This has degraded the environment and made the planet ill. Only 4% of land remains for other species as humans have captured 96% of available areas. To save biodiversity from further human disruption, the document calls for better education about the consequences of ignoring natural elements and an approach of coexistence rather than exploitation.
Bio_diversity_and_Indian_society
This document discusses biodiversity and its importance for human life and society in India. It argues that human civilization has largely been based on destroying and exploiting natural elements and biodiversity for wealth maximization. This has degraded the environment and made the planet ill. Only 4% of land remains for other species as humans have captured 96% of available areas. Greed has allowed commercialization and destruction of protected natural areas. To save biodiversity, we must recognize nature's gifts and establish equal value for other species through education to cultivate coexistence rather than exploitation. The future of biological diversity depends on addressing the impacts of human greed and commercialization on the fragile ecosystem.

Human footprint
Scientists with the Wildlife Conservation Society/Columbia University’s Human Footprint Project mapped degrees of human influence over Earth’s surface based on four factors: population, travel routes, land use, and lights. They found that humans have influenced 83% of Earth’s surface. The document discusses the growing human footprint and its environmental impacts. It provides background on the Human Footprint Project and outlines educational activities focused on mapping human influence, the dangers of plastic waste, and protecting wildlife habitats.
Slides: The Future of Food
The document discusses the concept of "lifeboat ethics" put forth by ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1974. Hardin used the metaphor of a lifeboat containing 50 people at capacity with resources for 60 to represent rich nations, while 100 people in the water represented poor nations. Hardin argued that rich nations should not accept more people from poor nations onto the lifeboat and provide aid, as that would endanger the safety factor and resources of the rich nations. The document also discusses Paul Ehrlich's warnings about overpopulation and the "tragedy of the commons" concept regarding uncontrolled use of shared resources.
Emotions and Environmental Values
This document discusses how sentimentalism and various emotions relate to environmental values. It analyzes emotions like awe, wonder, biophilia, disgust, fear, guilt, anger, and contempt in the context of people's responses to and attitudes about the environment. The conclusion is that environmental values are largely based in emotions and taking a sentimentalist approach could help diagnose the emotional drivers of proenvironmental behaviors to suggest ways to promote more environmental action.
Environmental Ethics Views on Deforestation
The document discusses several ethical viewpoints for addressing deforestation, including deep ecology, Gaia hypothesis, dominion, stewardship, utilitarianism, and Kantian ethics. Deep ecology sees intrinsic value in all nature, while dominion views nature as existing for human benefit. Stewardship positions humans as caretakers of nature. Utilitarianism weighs costs and benefits, and Kantian ethics prohibits using nature solely as a means. No single view is deemed fully satisfactory or helpful, as reasonable arguments can be made from different perspectives on humanity's relationship with and use of the natural world.
Human Greed and Its Effects on Our Mother Earth.pptx
This document discusses how human greed has negatively impacted the environment. It identifies several types of greed like wealth accumulation, power greed, and resource hoarding. It also discusses excessive consumption and how consumerism makes people slaves to possessions. The document lists the top 10 products that are unrecyclable and harm the environment. It suggests that appreciating nature through meditation can help develop a bond with Mother Nature and encourage conservation of resources for future generations.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

- 7. What People think? • Humans think that they have the right to subdue1 the earth literally… • In the past subjugation2 and exploitation3 of the environment is not serious Subdue Overcome or bring under control (a feeling or person) Subjugation To bring under control; conquer. To make subservient; enslave Exploitation Utilization of another person or group for selfish purposes
- 8. Fact! • It’s now very difficult for the earth to recover • In the past the earth can easily recover from the “damage”
- 9. The Earth’s resources are not infite. If these are not conserved and replaced, these will become scarce and unavailable. Humankind is not superior to nature. People are one with nature
