The human being has certainly come a significantly long way in terms of exceptionally evolutionary development and advancement within all sectors and components constituting the geographical as well as intangible parameters of contemporary society. Though there have been various, monumentally significant outcomes and benefits accompanying most of the developmental establishments and advancements of mankind till date, however, there are almost an equal number of disadvantages that have also accompanied this significant rate of advancement.
Take into consideration, for instance, the primarily disadvantageous and deteriorative consequences of such achievements as the power to wage nuclear warfare and the ecologic downfall of inventions that give off harmful chemicals as by products. Moreover, the inherently destructive nature of man has also led him to largely exploit a great many of natures resources that we humans have been prevalently taking for granted. Oxygen, the most biologically essential element, which we exploit in so much as negatively adulterating with vehicle fumes and CFCs, is one of them, while water, an equally essentially compound, is another.

New York, as a result of having Long Island at its mouth, has a major interest in the quality of their coastal environments. Long Island, the largest island in the continental U.S., also creates Connecticut's entire coastline, subsequently creating the northern shoreline of Long Island Sound. Ironically, however, New York faces quite a problem in regard to ensuring the continued, long-term protection and preservation of its ecological resources, among which water is at the very top of the agenda. One of the prime reasons for this is that the level and degree of pollution within the...

Central Park (New York) and Mohawk Park (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Municipal parks have a long history, and the importance of these invaluable green and open spaces to the people who live around them cannot be overstated. Perhaps the best-known pubic park in the United States is New York City's Central Park that provides the city's citizenry with an enormous green space in the middle of a concrete jungle. Although lesser known,
Hydrofracking NY What is hydrofracking? To those who support the idea, hydrofracking is the next (and possibly only) real alternative to the U.S.'s continued dependence on the world's oil supply (Energy Vision, n.d:1). To those who doubt the viability of this claim -- or to those who worry about the accuracy about what is being claimed -- hydrofracking is really more the setting up of the next great asbestos industry -- or
