Wasting

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE ) found in some white tailed deer. CWD is associated with diseases such as Mad-Cow disease, Scrapie, and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. With well supported evidence it is hypothesized that CWD originated from Scrapie. The causation of CWD is an abnormal form of PrPcwd prion. This prion is a naturally occurring protein found in mammals. Prions lack genome and are highly resistant to degradation. Chronic

needed resources. Wasted food is a strong loss as a result of wasted water, money and food for others in need. Moreover, food is a considerable loss considering it results in wasted water. In the article titled, “When You Waste Food, You're Wasting Tons Of Water, Too”, it says, “According to the World Resources Institute, an environmental think tank, inside the 1.3 billion tons of food wasted every year worldwide is 45 trillion gallons of water.” Another article titled, “Wasted Food=Wasted Water”

from a mysterious wasting syndrome. Similar die-offs have occurred before in the 1970s, 80s, and the 90s, but never before at this magnitude and over such a wide geographic area. Pisaster ochraceus and many other species of sea stars have been affected by the current sea star wasting syndrome event. The following paper by Hewson et al. “Densovirus associated with sea-star wasting disease and mass mortality” provides evidence for a link between a densovirus (SSaDV) and sea star wasting syndrome (SSWS)

For thousands of years humanity has grappled with understanding the mystery of our existence; questions what our purpose in life is. Some become consumed with the idea of not wasting a second of the time they’ve been given, while others tend towards a more reserved, neutral lifestyle. Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem, “Ulysses,” directly attacks the idleness of a mundane lifestyle while promoting the idea of not letting life waste away through exploration of the life of Ulysses, the mythical greek hero

would respond if a mass wasting event destroyed my home. I am going to assume that I did not know about the risk of mass wasting when I purchased my home. With that said, I would be very angry at the city for not informing me about such a risk. I would also be very angry at myself for not doing research and for not applying the principles I have learned in this class when it comes to purchasing a home. This class has taught me the type of areas that are prone to mass wasting. I know that I should not

Chronic wasting disease has been around for more than 60 years and has been destroying the deer and elk population in 23 US states. It is shutting down hunting in some states in United States and limiting it in other states. The Department of Natural Resources needs to the help the deer and elk population out by shutting down feeding and hunting. Chronic wasting disease is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of mule deer, white tailed deer, and moose. In 1967 chronic wasting disease was

In the last 13 years, cases of Chronic Wasting Disease have increased to over 25% in bucks and over 10% in does (Marien). With CWD being such a deadly disease, the rising percentage of cases has led to decreasing deer populations. Because the spread of CWD has resulted in many deaths, fewer hunting tags are allowed in affected areas to help the deer herd get healthy again. It is possible, though, that as the populations grow back, CWD may also become more prevalent. Actually stopping this tragic

Can you imagine the impact of an always fatal disease on a population? Chronic Wasting Disease, or CWD for short is a prime example in the whitetail deer herd. CWD is a fatal neurological disease known as a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). In deer this disease causes a characteristic spongy degeneration of the brains of infected animals, resulting in emaciation, excessive drinking and urination, abnormal behavior, loss of bodily functions, and death (Witkowski 3). As a result

hink about all the food you’re wasting “Well, folks, where there is so much food in this world there ought to be a problem arising here. Everyday we are exposed to human beings without homes and which we label them as homeless. But what’s the main problem you may ask? That man over takes out the garbage every weekend only to be witnessing the amount of food that goes to waste. Isn’t there something wrong with this picture? Why are we so adapted to the idea that it’s perfectly okay to dump food in

When I was little I was never able to finish my food, and my mom would always tell me that I should always finish my food because not everybody has a chance to eat.

Many businesses waste food especially by overstocking. In
