Electronic Cars Are Going to Decrease Pollution Increased pollution is one of the challenges facing the world today. This issue is associated with other problems, such as climate change and negative health outcomes. As a result, electric vehicles (EVs) are heralded as the panacea to the problem of increased pollution that has been plaguing the globe for a long time. These vehicles seek to decrease the use of cars run by diesel or petrol, which are known to produce high quantities of pollutants. As the name suggests, EVs are run on electricity. This paper argues that EVs cars are going to decrease pollution by producing less lifecycle emissions, even if they are run by electricity generated from fossil sources. As compared to their traditional counterparts, all-electric cars do not produce direct emissions. Vehicle emissions happen in two ways: Direct and lifecycle (Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy). On this note, direct emissions occur through the evaporation of fuel. This may happen when fuel is being transported from one position to another. At the same time, fuel may evaporate while…
pangolin trafficking According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (Heinrich, Sarah, et al. 2016), pangolins are the most threatened mammals with extinction. There are eight pangolin species, four being in Asia and the other four in Africa. Pangolins are trafficked mostly due to their meat and scales, which are a recipe in many traditional medicines. The medicine cures cancer, rheumatism, and too much crying in children. Internationally, measures have been adopted to curb pangolin trafficking. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) issued an international trade ban for all pangolin species. This ban also removes confusion on zero quotas by collectively prohibiting the international sale in pangolins. This also means that in China, confiscation of pangolins is dealt with at a national rather than regional level. The ban also increases penalty trafficking in the countries of China and the Philippines (Zhang, Mingxia, et al. 2017). China has also adopted regulations to protect the pangolins. In 2007, China banned pangolin hunting and suspended commercial imports of pangolins and their related products. To strengthen the ban of pangolin…

Air Pollution Discussion Air pollution represents a mixture of gases and solid particles in the air. The emissions from cars, chemicals from factories, pollen, dust, and mold spores are examples of the suspended particles that result in air pollution. Ozone is another major air pollutant. The air pollution has a significant impact both on the human and other living organisms in the ecosystem. One of the primary air pollutants is the burning of fossil fuels (energy use). The burning of fossil fuels results in the release of gases, the carbon gases, and chemicals into the air, harmful to the plants within the ecosystem when combined with the atmospheric water to form acidic rain (Follett et al., 2005). Moreover, air pollution from these gases from burning fuels, methane, and Caron IV Oxide result in increased atmospheric temperature as a result of climate change. United States is one of the nations that have been affected by the high amounts of greenhouse gases with EPA study, indicating that Caron IV Oxide amounts to about 81 percent and methane 11% of the total greenhouse…
