Chicago-Area Landfills -- Politics and Controversy
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page
report discusses the landfills in the communities surrounding
Chicago. In a metropolitan area and its surrounding communities,
especially one with the population base of the Chicago area,
issues surrounding waste management and local landfills have
become an important political, economic, and social issue, as
much (perhaps more than) a environmental issue. Local governments
face increasing regulatory costs in owning and operating
landfills, as well as ever more difficult challenges in finding
politically acceptable locations for new facilities to replace
old ones or accommodate new landfill growth. Bibliography lists
10 sources.

Protecting Water Sources: Past, Present And Future
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. One of the earth's most precious resources is in great peril. Water, the substance required by all living beings as a means of survival, is succumbing more and more to the ravages of pollutants, most -- if not all -- of which are the cause of humanity's environmental carelessness and neglect. Indeed, water sources of decades past were only beginning to show the signs of contamination, still remaining well within the parameters of what is considered to be safe; however, the water sources of late are clearly demonstrating the consequences of overwhelming pollution by killing off a significant amount of the plant and animal life that depends upon it for existence. What is being done to correct this drastic situation is too little too late according to critics, who contend that the world's water source has been left to fight for its health for far too long to be expected to regain its soundness. The writer discusses the detrimental changes that the world's water source has experienced. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
