Topic #11

Well, I wasn't home on Sunday until 10:00 and by that time I decided that I was going to fall asleep in front of the computer if I tried to make a post, so here it is now.

I think my topic for the persuasive essay will be on the topic of conservationists and what they suggest for society. We are constantly bombarded with concerns of overpopulation and how it effects the environment and animal populations. The problems with overpopulation have been overly dramatized; however, countries such as Russia and Germany are offering monetary incentives of thousands in American dollars for people to have children. This is how desperate they are to bring there population levels up.

These people go so far as to even suggest the removal of Bonneville dam, one of the main sources of power to this area and even as far as California, to make the migratory journeys of salmon more natural. The dam facilitates salmons journeys already and the removal of it would not produce a significant reduction of hazards to the migrations of salmon.

This is only one example, but there are many more examples of environmentalists attempting to remove such boons to humans which do not harm animals or nature. There are many more ridiculous examples like attempting the removal of non-harmful windmills. These energy sources most definitively are a good supplement to others such as reactors and coal-burning ones.
