  Humans are constantly innovating ways to
produce and consume material resources. Write a
paper addressing the following issue Give
specific examples of at least two (2) production
and two (2) consumption habits humans have
related to material resources. These are
discussed in Chapter Four of Contemporary
Environmental Issues, which includes production
of all types of consumer goods as well as
consumption of environmental resources. Discuss
efforts that must be considered about these
production and consumption habits in order to
sustain the global population?

ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 1 DQ 2 Trends in the
Environment
ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 1 DQ 1 Biomes and Diversity
    Extinction is a natural selection process.
Should humans strive to preserve a representative
sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should
humans be concerned with the extinction rate?
  In the 1980s a popular environmental slogan was
"Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" and now "Go Green,"
is a popular message. Consider the Reusable
Grocery Bags sold in markets everywhere. What are
the pros and cons that you see in this latest
trend? Give examples of the potential
environmental impact

ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 1 Laboratory Population
Biology
  SCI 207 Week 1 Laboratory Population Biology
  In the United States, we are fortunate to have
an abundant supply of food, and much of this is
due to our agricultural technology. However,
there are many concerns about our food source,
including genetically modified crops, the use of
more chemicals, and climate change just name a
few. Give examples of how humans have increased
their food supply and what effects these methods
have on the environment overall. Discuss concerns
you have about the overall safety of the food you
eat?

ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 2 Laboratory 2 Land Use in
Pinchot
ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 2 DQ 2
  Examine the obvious environmental impacts as
well as significant social and physical
ramifications of urban sprawl. What is the
relationship between landscape and psychological
well being? After defining this relationship,
discuss how the presence or absence of natural
beauty in your environment affects your
psychological well being on an everyday basis.
Give at least one specific example.
  Visit Land Use in Pinchot Lab (accessible
through the Labs section of Contemporary
Environmental Issues) and complete the virtual
lab. In this lab you will apply the scientific
method to examine how thresholds of land use
changes such as deforestation and urban sprawl
can impact communities, predator/prey
relationships, species diversity, and quality of
life in human communities.

ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 3 Quiz
ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 3 DQ 2 Age of Oil
  In Chapter Six of Contemporary Environmental
Issues, the past century has been referred to as
the Age of Oil. As we reach a possible peak in
oil production, what alternatives are forming?
Consider the role of OPEC, perhaps, in
reorganizing and monitoring oil production. What
do you think is the most viable way to address
after effects of this possible peak? 
  What makes aquifers most susceptible to
drought? The answer can be found in Section 5.1
Water Supply and the Hydrologic Cycle, in
Contemporary Environmental Issues.   What drives
the hydrological cycle? The answer can be found
in Section 5.1 Water Supply and the Hydrologic
Cycle, in Contemporary Environmental Issues.

ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 4 DQ 1 Climate and Air
Pollution
ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 4 Assignment Nuclear Power
  All energy sources have drawbacks. Even the
clean hydropower option has negative
ramifications. Weigh those against the possible
consequences of developing nuclear power, a
controversial alternative to fossil fuels.
Discuss the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster as
well as the 20th century Chernobyl nuclear
meltdown in drawing conclusions about risk versus
reward of nuclear energy use.   
  Climate change is an environmental issue in the
news almost daily, and air pollution impacts us
on a global level. What are the implications of
global warming? Do you think the efforts to
improve air quality are worth the economic costs?

ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 4 DQ 2 Energy
Most of us are aware of the energy concerns of
today and the future. There are many pros and
cons to the energy sources we currently use. For
this forum choose one of the following to
discuss If you had to argue the benefits of
nuclear energy, what would they be? What are the
risks? Support your claims with at least two
references in addition to your text in support of
your position. Cite your sources in APA
format. If you had to argue the benefits of wind
energy, what would they be? What are the risks?
Support your claims with at least two references
in addition to your text in support of your
position. Cite your sources in APA format.
  Visit Greenhouse Gases Lab (accessible through
the Labs section of Contemporary Environmental
Issues) and complete the virtual lab. In this lab
you will use a computer model to explore how
human activities are creating a blanket of
heat-trapping pollution in Earths atmosphere.
The model illustrates sources of top
heat-trapping pollutants and their general
impacts on Earths temperature.In order to
complete this lab, download the Greenhouse Gases

ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 5 DQ 2 Green Intelligence
ASHFORD SCI 207 Week 5 DQ 1 Waste
  What waste disposal methods are available to
humans and how might they be more effective? What
initiatives or incentives could governments
create to better equip citizens for managing
their own waste, garbage, and recyclables? 
  Define the main goals and strategies of green
intelligence. Do you think market-based
approaches could save the planet? Why or why
not?
