The effects of nuclear power help the environment but pose a threat if a meltdown occurs. A question that could be discussed for this issue is would it be worth the risk to have many nuclear power plants around the U.S. to save energy and pose a threat to a meltdown? It costs a lot of money to build one and start it up. The price to build one is around six to ten billion dollars. Is it better for our future or would problems arise as time goes on?
Another thing I found interesting was the effect of water bottles. It is something that does cost money, and causes waste with the plastic that contains the bottles. Researching this topic seems interesting to me and I think that if I research it, it would have a good effect on the people who read it. It would be informative and let the readers know how water bottles are useful and/or bad for the environment. I found out that during transportation of water bottles to the consumer, that when the air reaches a high temperature plastic bottle releases chemicals into the water. It doesn’t harm the consumer right away but over years of this it could bring harm to their health.
E-waste is also called electronic waste is something that anyone could prevent. It harms health and causes unnecessary pollution because some of the things contain lead, mercury, and beryllium. It is dangerous for the workers and communities and needs proper disposal to prevent any of the chemicals from leaching out from the landfills. The equipment has to be properly dismantled and put into certain categories. For example; metal frames and plastics, circuit boards. A positive thing of this is that it allows people to recycle or repair unharmed parts but the downside is that this type of work doesn’t pay very well, and has one of the lowest safety and health standards.
