Carbon fiber

are adding to the problem. If you have a green thumb, you can compose your food and yard waste to reduce the amount of garbage in dumps. One great tool to help you understand where your energy use is causing greenhouse gas emission is the Household Carbon Footprint.…

James Hansen said “Global warming isn’t a prediction. It is happening.” (Hansen, n.d., “Global Warming Quotes”). It seems that many of us don’t put a lot thought into how our actions impacts global warming. Taking a look at what our current CO2 level is at and comparing it over time and discussing what three main sources contribute to the CO2 levels will be presented. Also, discussing two sources that take CO2 out of the atmosphere will be presented as well. Then moving into deforestation and…

The carbon cycle does not necessarily begin at a certain point, but instead plants pull carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere to make food through a process called photosynthesis. Through food chains, animals get carbon from the plants and other organisms they feed on. When these plants and animals die and decompose, the carbon goes back into the soil. Some of the carbon is submerged deep into the ground and eventually forms…

Not Worth the Negative Environmental Effects Offshore oil drilling should not be carried on because it is too much of an environmental risk based on its’ harmful effect on marine ecosystems, climate, and coastal communities. First, offshore oil drilling should be stopped because it is a hazard to marine ecosystems. For example, “As of August 31, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon spill had killed 81 marine mammals, 5, 401 birds, and 553 sea turtles” (Mooney, 46). Oil spills kill thousands of birds…

Climate Change in Modern Society In recent years, climate change has become a very relevant topic in both the science community and the political field. Climate change is a relevant topic in today’s society that has important effects in the political field and in future generations. The Earth’s climate changes in natural cycles. In the last 650,000 years, there have been 7 cycles of glacial advance and retreat (“Global”). The current warming trend is significant because most of it is very…

driving the car that was built from it. Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide have increased 40% in the past 80,000 years and contribute the decreasing atmosphere that humans rely on to stay protected from space’s harsh environment (How are humans responsible for global warming?). The invention of paper launched the depletion of trees. Trees are necessary for humans and other animals to live from releasing oxygen for us to breath and absorb the carbon dioxide that damage the atmosphere (How are…

members ranging from politicians to billionaires, is trying to combat climate change. The wide array of members lead to various suggestions and ideas dealing with climate change. Some suggestions the project has produced to reduce climate change is a carbon tax, and to implement regulatory rules…

In the documentary “The Impact of Global Warming” it showed many ways of how global warming can effect and is effect our society and our planet. One of the impacts of global warming that the documentary addressed was the rise in sea level. There are many causes that effect the rise in sea level but one specific effect is the melting of glaciers and ice caps. When our temperature increases dramatically high it causes many of the glaciers that are situated across the globe to melt, whether its…

Then follows pollution, carbon emission, acid rain & the worst of all carrying capacity. I believe that has something to do with having so much nonnative species. At least sustainable development & renewable resources still care about earth’s hygiene. But that’s like an ant against…

Fermentation Rate in Different Sugars Abstract: This experiment is designed by students after studying the process of cellular respiration and fermentation. It demonstrates students’ understanding over the materials and utilization of the lab setting. In this experiment, the primary focus will on the speed of fermentation in different substances (sugars) in the same condition (temperature, volume, amount of yeast). Each solution will be mix with a fix amount of yeast and put in fermentation tube…
