Select and read a Chapter from Enacting Environmental Justice Through Global Citizenship (edited by Maciej Nyka, and Emma Schneider, BRILL, 2019. ProQuest Ebook Central) and describe and critique this chapter for your initial post. There are eleven chapters from which to choose. Make sure to incorporate direct references and quotes to the chapter, including page numbers. This does not have to be an APA or MLA citation or reference.
Part 1: We have covered a wide array of concepts related to waste management throughout this course. Undoubtedly, they have opened your eyes to areas you might not have been aware of and possibly stimulated reactions based on your humanity and responsibility as a global citizen.
Part 2: While those results are indeed beneficial, what other takeaways do you feel you have received from this course? How might the material presented or the activities you completed help you in your current or professional or academic pursuits?
Your journal entry must be at least 400 words (2 pages double-spaced) in length. No references or citations are necessary.
To prepare for your assignment,
Try to find information as close to where you live as possible. If you cannot find information within a 50-mile radius of where you live, then try searching the closest large city, or within your county.
Identify the predominant soil type(s) in your area. You can reference the ecoregion information from the Week 1 lab follow-up assignment.
Identify the weather and climate conditions of your area.
Research what types of agriculture, if any, are currently being practiced in your area.
Now, you are ready to draft a paper about soil and sustainable agriculture where you live, and your own plan for a 500-acre sustainable food production operation. In your essay,
Describe the general area where you live (local community, county, etc.) by addressing the following:
What are the characteristics of the soil?
What is the composition (sand, silt, clay)?
How well does it retain water?
How fertile is the soil generally?
What are the seasons like?
How much precipitation (rain and snow) do you get annually, and how is it distributed throughout the year?
Discuss agricultural production in your community:
What crops are being grown?
What production methods are being used?
Is irrigation necessary?
Are there any greenhouses or other indoor food production operations in your area?
Are there any organic or other sustainable agriculture operations within 50 or 100 miles of your location?
Create a plan, based on the conditions in your area, for a sustainable food production operation that addresses the following questions:
How will you divide up the 500 acres between at least four different sustainable food production methods?
Why is each method suitable to your local area and conditions?
Which foods will you produce and what methods will you utilize for each one? You should conduct research on sustainable food production systems, and you can also use information from the Week 2 Properties of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture Laboratory.
must use at least one scholarly source, one credible source, and the course text, for three sources

original piece of scholarship on the political economy
of climate, due in the Spring Term. The proposal should include a concise research
question, theoretical argument, and a discussion of a proposed empirical approach for
testing that argument (e.g., the data you would use, how you would analyze those data;
qualitative and quantitative approaches are both fine). Aim to write something that could
eventually be published in a leading political science journal and featured on a syllabus
like this one. You may include initial empirical analyses if you would like, but this is
optional. The proposal should be no longer than 3,000 words. What is something in the real world that you want to explain? Research questions in political economy work often look something like one of the following (note that this list is not exhaustive!):
• Empirical contradiction of canon: The literature typically assumes or argues x (e.g., firms lobby against stricter government regulations). But here’s a case that contradicts that (e.g., fossil fuel firms supporting climate regulations). What explains that?
• Puzzling empirical pattern: Lots of non-fossil fuel companies / non-energy companies lobby aggressively against climate policies. Why, and what are the implications of that?
• Novel phenomenon that theory hasn’t accounted for: Workers of the same ethnic group or gender often concentrate in the same fossil fuel industry. How does that identity group clustering shape reactions to decline in that industry?
• Original intervention in long-standing debate: Scholars have long debated the sources of long-run political-economic development. Here is a new theory for why some countries are more developed more than others that is superior to prior answers for these reasons…
Can put as much references or scholarly articles. I’m an african american women who grew up in new york city so you can touch base on the environmental problems there. Instructions are in file. Also would like in text citations instead of footnotes is possible. Thank you!
The topic is Storm Surge Vulnerability Along the Eastern Seaboard.
(13 pages of double-spaced 12- point)
It should should have 12 references from scholarly sources (published books or journals). the paper could be structured in the
following way:
1. Background (discussion of previous studies on the topic)
2. Evaluation of data and methods employed in the literature reviewed
3. Descriiption of specific climate/hydrologic cycle impacts
4. Concise summary and conclusions
5. Potential sources of error/caveats
6. Proposed questions to be addressed in future work
7. References
This is a high level essay on stakeholder perspectives from a masters degree on environment and sustainability, word count is 2500 (+ or – 10%), zero plagarism is allowed
Select a US state of interest (TEXAS), and reserve your discussion prior to completing your research… this means, please select a state and start a post with the state name in the title. This way, we will not repeat states and cover a broader geographic expanse in the discussion. Do not select a state someone else has already saved! Once you have completed your research come back into the discussion and edit your thread to complete the assignment. There are two topics for this weekly discussion, please select one of the following:
Query the internet for your state’s Abandoned Mine Program. Describe your state’s program including the specific issues that they are dealing with. If you can locate a specific mine site that has been reclaimed, describe it here and provide a picture or map if one is available. Feel free to use either the state you currently live in or the state you grew up in or any other place that sparks your interest. You will be surprised at the different issues that different states are faced with! Don’t forget to share with us any interesting figures or images you encounter in your search.
The assignment for this week relates to the Superfund. Superfund liability is part of the answer to the assignment. The US Constitution has a clause regarding “ex post facto” laws. Many state Constitutions also have a similar clause. Your task is to find and read this clause. What is “ex post facto” and how does this concept fit in with Superfund liability or enforcement? Be sure to direct your discussion at the state level.
