Carbon offset

plant a tree or donate to clean energy projects. What option do we have and how would we know if they are actually efficient, you might ask? I checked three organizations to see what we could do to better our tomorrow. One of the companies was Carbon Pollution Reduction, which build stoves in Handuras https://www.cooleffect.org/. Another organization is Paidtogo, which reimburses commuters who are taking alternative methods of traveling by having people sponsor it. /www.paidtogo.com/. I looked at many similar websites but COTAP caught my eye. Not only did they helped with carbon offset, they also provided employment for undeveloped countries.…

Philippines Department of Food and Nutrition, College of Home Economics, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines Abstract ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- The purpose of this experiment is to observe the synthesis of esters (also known as esterification), to understand the chemical processes that ester synthesis undergoes, and to know the optimum conditions needed for high yields.…

To begin, all data collected from figures 1, 2, and 3 are from the carbon dioxide analysis information center (cdaic). After reviewing the data of CO2 emissions for the country of Indonesia, there are a few details which grabbed my attention. The first feature noticed was the year of 1921 in which gas first began to emit in Indonesia. This effected the beginning of the graph/data totals, resulting with lower numbers (shown in figure 3). Liquid was by far the largest contributor for Indonesia…

Introduction Carbon has the special trait of being able to bond with almost any other molecules and form the organic molecules essential for life as we know it to exist. Since carbon is an element and cannot be created carbon atoms are endlessly reused in a process known as the carbon cycle ("Material Cycles: Nutrient, Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulfur Cycle", 2014). This is a natural process but human action threatens the delicate balance of the carbon cycle by increasing the amount of CO2 in the…

Kendon Brown Econ 475 5/31/2018 Carbon Tax Summary and economic discussion: Carbon is one of earth’s most plentiful natural elements, in fact it’s the 15th most abundant elements on Earth and 4th most abundant element by mass, in the universe. Further, Carbon can be found in just about any organic compound, from humans to plants to fossil fuels. Unsurprisingly, carbon is present in every hydrocarbon fuel source this includes coal, oil, natural gas, and petroleum. Indeed, when humans use…

begin, Kean introduces the periodic table to readers, in a creative and approachable manner. He metaphorically compares the table to a castle, with each brick representing a different element. This analogy gave me a different perspective about the table, and a deeper appreciation for its thoughtful layout. His second metaphor, the periodic table as a map (or castle blueprint), allows the reader to quickly recognize characteristics of elements based on their location, that is, their…

emissions are among the highest per capita in the world" (Marsa, 123). Australia releases more emissions than any other country because Australia has an over abundance of coal, as well as agricultural resources such as sheep and cattle. As a result, people tend to use the resources that are readily available without knowing that it is causing irreparable damage to the environment. In the article Marsa makes reference to James Cook, who states: " 'We have an economy that is deeply reliant on…

designated carbon site was unstable and yielded a formal charge of 1+, an indication that it had too many bonds than required. The bisulfate ion formed earlier removed a proton to form a more stable hydroxyl group. However, the site of formation or placement of the hydrogen atom and the hydroxyl group is governed by Markovnikov’s rule. Markovnikov’s rule sheds light on the regioselectivity of the two ends of a C=C double bond of an alkene when they are not identical. It is used to predict the…

Beryllium General Characteristics According to Hornbostel (1991), Beryllium is a hard, exceptionally, lightweight, gray-white metal, corrosion resistant at ordinary temperatures; chemically it is related to aluminum. Other than titanium, it is the only light metal which has both good strength and a high melting point. Additionally, it is a good electrical conductor, has high modulus of elasticity, exceptionally transmit x-rays and sounds at very high velocities. Moreover, it has the ability to…

First problem is the temperature, most OMCVD processes which are operated thermally occur at 300~800℃ and this is still much higher than the room temperature[9]. Secondly, the organic exhaust gas is usually hazard and toxic to human healthy and can be serious environmental problem without proper treatment. Thirdly, as the goal of the OMCVD process, to produce zero-valent state of metal element with existing technology and producing units is only possible for the Ni(CO)4. The processes which…
