Sang Yeub Lee Kristen Foster CO150.401 October 18, 2013 Why do we need to keep the environment clean? An Annotated Bibliography This annotated bibliography was compiled in order to explore the how important the environment is to our lives and how the environment got damaged so far and how we can keep the environment clean. I was interested in environment since when I was young. The research questions are how do cars affect the environment and why and how do we need to keep the environment clean. I was researching this topic for almost 2 weeks. The four sources include two of which are academic articles published in web. EBSCOhost and the other two are newspaper articles that were published on the Internet.

Greenhouse gas emissions rising. BBC News. Special reports, 30 October. 2006. Web 18 Oct 2013. This article is a newspaper. It can interest people who are interested in the environment and people who dont know why the weather changes so strangely. During the industrialization age, a lot of countries built factories that cause global warming today. According to the Kyoto Protocol after 1990 the climate change speed getting faster. Also, global warming started in that time. So the UN agrees that we should reduce greenhouse gas. Also, the overall emissions have decreased by 3.3% since 1990. However, during industrialization most countries are to make that. So most countries think about how we can increase industry and decrease greenhouse gases. There are two countries that did that. Based on the authors research there is a graph that total greenhouse gas emissions in 14 years.

These two countries developed the skills necessary when they built factories trying to reproduce less greenhouse gases. This source is very credible because this is posted on BBC News. Also, the graph is from UNFCCC figure out for a long time. There is one problem: this article does not have aut hors name. This source answers my question well because it talks about why we need to keep the environment clean.

Soluk Andrew, Why Do We Need to Protect Our Environment New Polity. 21 October. 2010. Web 15 Oct 2013 This article is mostly about academic and researcher interests in the state of research about the environment in the world. Also, these include questions and solutions for people who dont know why and how we need to keep environment. These days the weather changed so strangely; summer is longer than a few decades and winter is getting shorter. Also, every year natural disasters are increasing. In this article the author says global worming makes earth warm. Global warming is a huge problem in the world. Glaciers melt so quickly and in the summer season, the temperature rises higher every year. These are the reasons we need to keep clean the environment and find solutions to prevent global warming. So the author talks about how

we can reduce global warming and what can we do now. These days a lot of people try to use transportation and cars that function by electric power. Every year, hybrid car users increase because the cars exhaustive gas is one of the factors to global warming. There are many ways by which we can reduce greenhouse gases. The author says, Global warming is man-made and that is our responsibility to solve the problem before we die from pollution. This is why global warming is bad.

This article is credible because it is a newspaper-type and it was published recently. Also, it was explained well. The problem is that the website is unknown.

This information is what I really was looking for. It contains a lot of information that I needed to write this essay. This article gives context for the stakeholders, people who are interested in the environment.

Zhan Tao, Clodic Denis, Plalandre Lionel. Determining rate of refrigerant emissions from

nonprofessional

automotive service through a southern California field study. Web. Ebscohost. Atmospheric Environment. November. 2013 web. 14 Oct 2013 This source is an academic article for researchers interested in the state of research about environment in the world. The authors are researching about how effective the vehicle smoke is to air pollution and why component vehicles contain smoke. Also, the article concerns how smoke affects the human body as well as what we can do to reduce vehicle smoke. The author finds out that global warming cause the summer season longer. In California, a lot of cars when using a/c produce a lot of co2; this can greatly damage ozone layer. When the ozone layer is depleted, the ultraviolet rays directly enter Earth. This causes the glaciers to melt quickly and temperatures to increase.

This picture was published in the EPA on September 9, 2013; it shows the future climates. In 2080- 2099 the world will be really hot and there will be no winter. This is why we need to use cars that reproduce less co2.

The article is a credible source because it is the base of an academic article. Also, the authors have researched this climate increase for more than 12 years. The one problem about this source is that it doesnt provide solutions.

The explanation given is very in-depth and easy to understand. Also, I learned from this source. This article gives the stakeholders, the people who are interested in the environment, different perspectives on the issue.

Ou Banung, Ly Youy. Why Do We Need to Keep Our Environment Clean. The Phnompenhpsot. 5 October 2011. Web. 14 Oct 2013 This article is a journal-type article in that there are two students from Cambodia and explains why we need to keep our environment clean. The author lives in Cambodia. Some parts of Cambodia are really beautiful and clean. Also, they have nice resorts and good service. However, the Phnom Penh, the capital city, is very dirty. A lot of people dont recycle and throw trash anywhere, which produces bad smell. A lot of tourist look at the place and think that Cambodia is a dirty country. The two students try to protect their

county and make tourist come visit again Cambodia. The two students sent a mail to the government regarding this situation and they found a solution. The cops stayed around the whole Phnom Penh city and whoever threw trash was punished accordingly. After 3 months, the Phnom Penh city became much cleaner than before and the tourist ratio increased exponentially.

This is credible because it was published very recently. Also, the article is based on a true story about two students who changed their own country; it is authentic. The only problem is that the authors are not professional.

This article is written easy to understand the story of the two students and when people read this article they will realize that we should keep our country clean. This article gives the stakeholders, people who are interested in the environment, a new perspective.
