find ways to recycle waste and ways to increase energy efficiency. One way to help with Eco-Defense is to help eliminate pollution. Pollution happens in different forms; air, water, soil, radioactive, noise, heat/thermal and light. The most dangerous form of pollution is air. Our daily burning of fuel from cooking and driving releases a lot of chemical substances into the air everyday. The smoke from coal burning releases sulphur dioxide into the air, which makes it toxic. With the release of those chemicals and gases into the air, causes global warming and acid rain. This makes it hard for animals to survive and we breathe in those polluted particles from the air, which could cause asthma and cancer in the lungs. There are several ways to reduce air pollution. Recycling paper, plastic, glass bottles, cardboard and aluminum cans are ways to conserve energy. Planting trees in areas around your home that will provide shade in the summer and sunlight during the winter months.

The process will not only cut pollution, but would also reclaim, hydrocarbon poly-dichloride slag, a material which can be used in manufacturing polyethlene, and hydrochloric acid, which are profitable by-product of the said process. The process will create about 1000 new jobs.…

comes to our environment and we know that increase has a lot to do with the growing population around the world. Yet, as we continue to grow in numbers of people, we also continue to lack a sufficient amount of natural resources to go around as well as places to absorb all of the waste we create.

We have never had to live in a world without them so we…

Originally, I planned to go diving myself to see these changes first hand, but unfortunately the timing of the tides over the last couple of weeks prevented me from being able to dive safely through the channel. Instead, I interviewed and got some information on Swansea Channel over the decades from an expert diver who has been diving in…

In the world of Fury Road, both humans and the earth…

of water, while others cherish the water they have. This is very apparent in source 6, "Water Collective," where it also states "1,000 liters used daily by the Gilbertson Family In New York City... 200 liters used daily by the Sarker family in India." Urban cities waste a significant amount of water since it is more readily available to them, they just have to open a tap and the water flows. People's carelessness has a large effect on the world's water availability, but it is only one of the…
