However, due to false advertising and commercialization, guava as well as coffee, macadamia, passion fruit, and pineapples are seen as icons of Hawaii, yet they aren’t native to Hawaii. Even though these species aren’t native to Hawaii, coffee, macadamia, passion fruit, and pineapples do…

The area the Himalayas are geographically located within hold the greatest amount of ice outside of the polar region, and within the region, contains the ten largest rivers in Asia, (Wilkes & Eriksson, The Melting Himalayas: Cascading Effects of Climate Change on Water, Biodiversity, and Livelihoods, 2009). Although the Himalayas contain a great source of ice due to high alpine glaciers, climate change is rapidly changing the topography of this area by accelerating the melting of ice, (Wilkes,…

Global warming has been an important issue facing the world because many things are affected by global warming. Deforestation, burning fossil fuels, industry wastes, and greenhouse effect are all caused by global warming. The effects of global warming are an increase in sea level, droughts, storms, extinction of animals, loss of coral reef and increase in temperature. Many governments across the globe are trying to increase the awareness of global warming. Humans play a big role in this issue…

The Essentials of Running Running has been essential for the genus of Homo since the dawn of man. It is possible that running even influenced the evolution of Homo. It is also argued that running is what helped man survive. Nowadays, running is no longer essential of the human species, but running itself, much like Homo, has evolved into a sport, a hobby, a profession and a lifestyle. What makes the art of running so intriguing for some, that they would leave everything behind to pursue a…

The changes vary across the Arctic; the largest decreases occur in maritime regions of the Arctic (Alaska, northern Scandinavia, and the Pacific coast region of Russia) [8]. Climate model projections indicate decreases in the duration of snow cover of 10 to 20% over most of the Arctic by 2050 and Scandinavia will experience the most loss (around 30 to 40%) [2]. 2.4 Temperature Average Arctic temperatures have increased at almost twice the global average rate in the past 100 years according to…

If one starts to observe how the global political, environmental, and social issues have played out, one begins to see a large dominant factor in the wealth and gains of the global north, at the expense of the global south. Historically, food has been a crucial element out of a handful few of which we need to survive. From subsistence, to mass production, to global networking of food chains and distribution, it is clear that a country as resourceful as Brazil has overtime seen many changes in…

The illustration above is a good summary for the people who have knowledge about Chemistry, Biology, and Geology. However, it is challenging to understand for people who do not have knowledge in the fields mentioned above. It is so important to give an interpretation so that those people can understand this report. Photosynthesis: This is the process by which plants create their own nutrient by using sunlight. Sunlight acts as the convertor to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic…

1. Introduction Urban greenery is usually being refer as parks or green space but others also claimed that it include rooftop, household garden and streetscape. In this millennium, the cities all over the world are increasingly urbanized. An in burst of immigrants from rural areas to cities is causing the cities to become congested and polluted. The rapidly expanding population and overcrowded slum have hasten the urban development where old buildings are demolished and deforestation is carried…

Closing the loop on food waste: Causes, concerns and rescue for consumption 1. Introduction According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), food waste means any edible substance that is wasted or degraded along the food supply chain (FSC) (FAO, 1981). Food waste mainly occurs at the end of the FSC during distribution, sale and final consumption, but it also includes all types of food losses which take place during the agricultural production, post-harvest and processing…

In the future what climate will the earth have? Will it be too hot, were we will all have to live underground to stay alive and cool. Will we be in the next ice age, struggling to survive in the cold. Will glaciers cover the earth’s surface to the point where no plants can grow? Will we have destroyed the crops where we can no longer feed ourselves? Will it be the same as it is now, proving that climate change is just a political game? No matter what is in store for us in the future, Climate…
