Pollution

Everyone has been noticing and experiancing the climate changes that been happening like crazy. Ecspecially those who live within the boarder lines of Illinois. The winter has been a very....dramatic changing. Years ago winters use to be freezing and horribly windy, ecspecially in Chicago, IL. This year tho...not soo much. Granted, yes there was the winds going, like there usually is. But this winter, what happend to all the snow? We did get a little bit, but as soon as it all settled, it all melted away! The snow wasn't able to stay for very long. The climate is deffinatly changing, and honestly it is for teh worst. As a nation, we needed a hard cold winter to get ride of all the bugs/viruses that are going around. Also to get rid of all the bugs that are possibly still alive, for example, the misquitos need to die from the strain of dieseases that they are carrying. The summer, is more than likely going to be hotter than it ever has, and that is going to cause alot of issues that we may not be able to know how to handle. Both the Goverment and the people are beggining to find ways to help stop some of the polluting we have and are creating. A not so new idea of Nuclear Power Plants has came bakc into the minds of people, but many still do not like the idea. The Power Plants will help decrease some of the pollution sent into the air and help cut back on some of the fossil fuels. Which as millions are aware that we do not have very much left. As the price of it will not go up when gas and coal prices begin to soar and how much it varies.

Those how have watched the Simpsons before know of the job that the husband, Homer Simpson holds within the entire series. They do throw out alot of jokes and puns about the Power Plant, but to a certain extent they are serious. The things that are produced by the Power Plant do use alot less amount of pollution, but most of the materials they produce, are more than likely to be radioactive to a certain degree. After awhile, the radioactivity can not only hurt the people that are incontact with the materials but also the wild life that is around and near it. The Simpsons also produced a movie, which of course please keep in mind that The Simpsons is a cartoon show, not to be taken seriously. The little things that they add to the show/movie, can possibly happen. I believe that they are good example, of both the extreems and the reality. Within the movie the wild life (water life) began to be mutated and the entire had to be shut down because of the wrongfully dumping being down by both the commuinity and the Nuclear Power Plant.

Which of course this is a dramatization, but the wrongful dumping and radioactive material\waste that comes with this plant not only can hurt the people but also the enviorment.
The product that comes out of the plant can be low-level radioactive but the waste that comes out is horrivly radioactive. The waste that is produced by these plants need to go somewhere but the problem is no matter where you put the waste, it WILL eventually eat through the containers and will reach to the enviorment. We literally have no where to put this harmful product because the more and more you produce of it, the more and more room you need, but we already have no clue what to do with the amount we have...How are we rightfully going to add more to that problem. As a world we have become dependant on things that not only hurt us but also hurt the world around us. The amount of pollution and toxic material we produce should be unethical, but we care more about what we want now then in the long run. Our world we know is very slowly, but surely begginning to fall apart, and we have no clue what to do about it.
