Organ Cloning: The Future Of Our Lives…
<view this essay>.... not try to interfere with nature. If we try to clone organs for transplant patients that are in their final hour then we are actually improving their life. If you feel that saving a person’s life is a bad thing, then I’m sorry.
People often question whether or not we have the right to clone. We are all guaranteed rights by the fact that we are human beings. Those rights include the right to pursue areas of scientific study, and also the right to live. They could have argued the fact that man was not meant to walk on the moon. If they did, and the program did not succeed, then we would not have the technology that we have today. Cloning organs can only yield .....

Hydroponics
<view this essay>.... grower and generally the public didn't know about hydroponics. It was
only being used by commercial growers. But now it has caught on, and resulted in
this experiment.
When thinking about hydroponics one must think about the applications of
hydroponics. Not only dose hydroponics produce bigger, better, and more
healthier plants than the traditional dirt, but it can also be greatly
beneficial on things like submarines, space stations, off-shore oil rigs, or any
where else where dirt is hard to come by.
During this experiment we'll be looking for which plant life well do
best with hydroponics, by measuring which plant has grown the highest or
bushiest. We als .....

The EPA: Can It, Will It Save Our Environment?
<view this essay>.... the EPA
was created by President Nixon to protect the public health and environment.
The cancer-causing DDT was banned in 1972 and was found accumulating in the food
chain. The use of lead in gasoline was phased out in '73 which caused lead
levels to drop 98%. In '74 the agency required drinking water to be physically
and chemically treated. CFCs were banned in '78 and a nation-wide toxic waste
site cleanup program was developed in 1980. The EPA then evacuated Times Beach,
Montana for dangerous levels of dioxin in soil, which was then criticized for
its heavyhandedness and arrogance. Charges of mismanagement and undue political
influence caused the head o .....

Advantages Of Producing Crops Through Use Of Hydroponics
<view this essay>.... question is, "What can be grown in hydroponics?" Surprisingly
to some, anything that can be grown in soil can be grown in a hydroponic system!
Flowers, herbs, vegetables, fruit trees, vines, and ornamental shrubs.
Everything from Aloe Vera to Zucchinis can be grown in this unique system.
There are many advantages to using a hydroponic system for growing
plants. The most obvious being that it is easier to control the plant growing
environment. Some others are restricted supply of suitable water, lack of
suitable soil, high labor cost of traditional cultivation, high cost of
sterilizing soil, and there is a greater reliability and predictability of plant
p .....

Genetic Diversity In Agriculture
<view this essay>.... bank is a popular term that is used to describe repositories for
genes of living organisms. It is commonly used in the context of plant breeding
as I described above, but it also applies to the freezing and the storage of
animal sperm and embryos for use in animal husbandry or artificial insemination.
An understanding of crop origins and variations is necessary in
assembling genetic diversity in plant crops. In certain geographical areas
there has existed a rich source of variability in crop plants but the
encroachment of civilization has reduced the natural variability inherent in
primitive plant forms and related species of crop plants. Agricultural pr .....

Nuclear Power
<view this essay>.... and animals that died millions of years ago. Burning fossil fuels has other downfalls, too. All the burning that is required to turn the turbines releases much sulfur, nitrogen gases, and other pollutants into the atmosphere.
The cleanest, cheapest, and least polluting power plant of the two types is the hydroelectric power plant. The main reason most countries use thermal versus the hydroelectric is because their countries don't have enough concentrated water to create enough energy to generate electricity. (World Book vol. 14, 586)
plants generate only about eleven percent of the world's electricity. There are around 316 plants in the world that c .....

Effects Of Dam Building
<view this essay>.... side effects. The hindering effects of dams on humans and
their environment heavily outweigh the beneficial ones. The paragraphs below
will prove that the construction and presence of dams always has and will
continue to leave devastating effects on the environment around them.
Firstly, to understand the thesis people must know what dams are. A dam is a
barrier built across a water course to hold back or control water flow. Dams
are classified as either storage, diversion or detention. As you could probably
notice from it's name, storage dams are created to collect or hold water for
periods of time when there is a surplus supply. The water is then used whe .....
