Future Energy Demands
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. In the not-too-distant future -- with regard to history's timeline -- there will come a point when fossil fuels will have been depleted and humans will be forced to find alternative sources with which to power automobiles, household heating units and myriad other machinery that utilizes fuel. However, waiting until supplies are exhausted before establishing a workable alternative would place a major hardship upon future energy demands. For this reason, various options -- not only those that supply a form of fuel but also those that reduce and often eliminate pollution -- have been in the works for several years. The writer discusses the issue of future energy demands and potential fuel alternatives. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Industrial Progress: Wonderland or Wasteland?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length.
Reviews two articles by Thomas Berry and Arne Naess that show
that some people will argue that industrial growth can be
accomplished without damaging world ecosystems. In fact, the
present consumer attitude is amoral because it does not generate
the sense of right and wrong that is required in order to act in
an environmentally responsible manner. In actuality, industrial
growth does not equal human growth. This paper takes the stance
that the consumer/industrial attitude is not compatible with
environment ethics. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
