What is Environmental Science?
Environmental science studies the complex interactions between humans and the world around them. These interactions involve many fields of science including physics, biology, chemistry, geology, and more. Because of the human investment in environmental science, researchers must also be aware of the social, economic, and ethical conflicts involved. Think about the environmental issues that affect your local community. Are there problems associated with getting clean water? How does your community deal with waste disposal, water treatment, and the generation of power? How has development of your local area changed over time? Do you think this has had any influence on the organisms that live in your local area?
Answer the following throughout the week:
· Describe one or two issues that you believe are related to environmental science. They may be things that are happening in your own home or community, or something affecting the country.
· Do some research to find some specific facts concerning this issue and provide a brief summary of your findings. Be sure to consult reliable sources of information like www.sciencedaily.com.
· What aspects of your everyday life do you think can be improved through a better understanding of environmental science?
· What things do you not understand that you hope this course will be able to clarify?

Main posts should fully and completely discuss each question posed and make frequent, informed references to this unit’s material. Engage in ongoing, productive conversation by responding to a minimum of two classmates per topic. Responses to classmates should be at least 50 words. Remember, you will learn more by sharing ideas!

At some point, your work with the client will end. Sometimes, it can be that the client no longer needs assistance. Other times, issues might still exist, but your help is no longer necessary. Using a previous example, you might have assisted the client who was homeless, had a drug addition, needed basic needs such as food and clothing, and was seeking a job. Your agency might have assisted in finding the client clothes and food and the client no longer needed assistance from your particular agency, even though the client might still be receiving assistance from a job placement center and a drug treatment center. Or, the client may have become aggressive toward you, so you had to discontinue the helping relationship.
Using your scenario developed with your interviewee, pretend that you have completed the helping relationship with your interviewee and that you are referring him/her to another agency, based on what you have learned from your interviews with the client. Think about the next steps the client would need to take to reach his or her goals, when making the referral.

To Prepare

  • Review the data that you collected during your recorded interviews on a fictitious client.

  • Reason for Referral
  • Brief summary of circumstances leading up to present reason for referral
  • A brief description of what you would like from the agency to which you are sending the referral (i.e., evaluate and recommend, take over services, etc.)
  • Next steps for contact (specify if client is supposed to follow up, if you will follow up, or if you will wait for referral agency to follow up with you, or follow up with client, and include the date by when you would like to hear back from the agency

Economics homework help

We’ve all grown up with varying degrees of “save the planet” rules, regulations, and suggestions. Natural resources have been used, abused, and depleted throughout the lifetime of civilization to the point where we are reaching out more to harness wind and solar power to help sustain future generations. As a whole, the human race is one of the biggest disrupters of ecosystems. We throw aside so much waste, from wrecked vehicles to product packaging, that we have become desensitized to the damage we are creating.
Today, many businesses have developed corporate social responsibility (CSR) plans to address environmental damage caused by civilization. Companies like Walt Disney, Lego, Google, Ben and Jerry’s, and many others are devoting money and time to making the world a better place.
Please respond to the following:

  • To what extent do you personally make purchasing choices based on a company’s social responsibility, brand, or reputation? Explain what motivates you to make these choices. Explain your opinion.
