Brand Name: Reflecting Brand Concept: Man Cave strives to be “Naturally Derived” by using products that are not only safe for its consumers, but for the environment after it leaves the shower and heads towards the soil or waterways. The brand name efficiently reflects this ethos by offering a name that reflects the natural elements of the product, while also interweaving it with the man-made chemicals. Burt’s Bees offers “nature’s most invigorating wake-up call”. By opting to go with the simple…

continuous-feed type of disposal. Simply put, turn on the water in the kitchen sink. Then push your fruit peels, coffee grounds, spoiled vegetables, even small chicken bones down the disposal. The disposal grinds (liquefies) the waste and the water carries it down the drain, into the sewer. Ease of installation - Installing the new Badger 5 is a snap. The “Quick-Lock sink mount” feature allows for an easy installation. Rubber flanges prevent water leakage from the sink, and at the bottom…

hydrostatic pressure to preserve foods is the first truly new method of preserving foods since Nicolas Appert developed the use of heat to preserve foods in sealed glass bottles over 200 years ago. High pressure does not depend on heat, chemicals, reduced water activity, or reduced temperatures to control pathogens or spoilage microorganisms. Pressures in the range of 200-600 MPa have been found to unfold proteins so that they lose their biological functions as cell wall membranes and enzymes…

imposed by congress to clean up these contaminated sites based upon health concerns of the people, environmental risks and possible ecosystem destruction. 1 In Warren County, New Jersey the department of environmental protections…

and the negative effects it is having on everything. Air pollution is the consistency of particle in the air that are harmful to humans, animals, and plants, and often times buildings (Rutledge, et al., 2011). With these pollutants in the air, they act as the beginning of a chain of effects that occur in our cycle of life. Air pollution in the 21st century is becoming greater each day as man-made technology distributes harmful gasses and chemicals that are circulated through our ecosystem.…

The innocence of a child is something nothing can compare to, we would never think to harm them or put them in danger. They are fragile, they have no defense other than a parents protection and love. But what if the resources they needed to survive slowly started disappearing and thing things that brought us joy were taken away from them because of the people that said they would never hurt them. Can we apologize in advance for something we turned away from because we felt it wasn 't our problem…

Many people know of the idea of Carbon footprints, but do not think of the wider concept of ecological footprints. This measures not only carbon emissions but includes energy use, water use, and waste production of a person, or population. This is measured against the ability of the environment to supply these needs, many times leading to a deficit (Global Footprint Network, 2015). The world population uses 1.6 times the resources available of the planet (Global Footprint Network, 2015) and with…

used because it is a hydrocarbon, meaning it is mostly insoluble in water and satisfies the requirements discussed.…

Global warming is arguably the largest threat facing humanity today, since 1880 the world 's average temperature has gone up by 0.8 degrees Celsius, and already the effects can be seen with an increase global of cyclones, forest fires, drought and floods. Within the United Kingdom, an increase of 1 degree has occurred since the 1970’s, (Naomi Hicks et al 2013). with this increase in average temperature, the main impact predicted to affect the UK is an increase in the amount of rain in the winter…
