'The Start of the Contamination in Man’s Environment\r'

'In the new-made 1960s to 1970s, Americans realized that industry was doing sombre violate to air, water, and the earth itself, the most indwelling born(p) resources. The whole awareness of the damage be done to the environment caulescent out from the energy crisis of the 1970s.\r\nThe energy crisis was a ‘slap-in-the-face for America. They needed to realize the harm that was being done to the natural resources and their decreasing accessibility as a result. With the decreasing availability and increase prices of oil, new energy sources had to be discovered. Although scientists found nuclear ply to be a jazzy, cheap, and unlimited source of power at first, the environmentalists fought to minimize its usage for headache of nuclear meltdowns, which could spread nuclear waste.\r\n secondary energy sources were possible, and what appeared to be the most effectual were tidal energy and solar energy. These environment altogethery safe methods of harnessing energy were ju st what the environmentalists had aimed for, and a new movement had been started †environmentalism. If you read this electrical circuit it. The environmentalists also tried to advocate the saving of energy, so that the cleaner but little effective ways could be manipulated to train more energy.\r\nDespite more efforts to stop the environment clean, some 200 one million million million tons of pollutants were filling the air apiece year, and clean air in many cities had been replaced by smog. The earth, air, and water were deteriorating as face of highways, m alones, and housing developments social movementd the destruction of fertile, irreplaceable farmland. establishment of wastes was an some other dilemma to be dealt with. longing could release poisonous gases into the air, and burial could ca make use of harmful decay.\r\nBy the mid-1960s, people began to rattling realize the need to conserve the nations resources. often credit for arousing public concern belo nged to Rachel Carson for her halt Silent Spring. This book warned of the central trouble of our age being the contamination of mans environment. During the conterminous few years, growing numbers of ecologists, biologists, and other scientists showed their concern about the reckless smear of the environment.\r\nIn 1970, Congress created the environmental egis Agency (EPA), which helped laid laws regulating use of pesticides, insecticides, and other potentially dangerous sprays. They protect endangered wildlife, and ordered that car manufacturers had to leave behind pollution control devices on exhausts of their vehicles. impudently waste disposal and sewage discourse plants were being built to prevent only pollution of the land and water and to clean up the rivers and lakes. Government also modulate unsightly junkyards and dumps to restore the natural beauty of the countryside. Federal government set aside more areas as field parks, not to be tampered with, and conside rable gain had been made in the management and conservation of Americas forests, soil, and water.\r\nHowever, many people felt that it was not necessary for the government to take all this action. President Reagan gave in and allowed the search for minerals on federal lands and oil exploration cancelled the coast of California, which some felt was very risky, because of the chance of an oil spill, which would devastate all ocean life in the area.\r\nEnvironmental decisions were important in the sixties era, as many other nations followed them with concern. With the worlds population increasing so rapidly, the earths natural resources will be heavily taxed, and many people, the environmentalists, believed that resource conservation was extremely important in maintaining the existing conditions of the world population.\r\n'
