Economic globalization has had a negative effect on sustainability, however, if the government is willing to somewhat move on from fossil fuels, and begin to subsidize renewable energy, economic globalization can also aid in increasing sustainability. Therefore, instead of our economy revolving around fossil fuels, and as a result making our prosperity finite, we can begin to increase our use of renewable energy, and have our economies revolve around renewable energy, thereby…

An intense wildfire filled on the oil city of Fort McMurray, Canada, destroying at least 1600 structures and more than 88,000 citizens were forced to flee, vacating the fire-gutted area chaotically. The fire blazed at least 1,010 square kilometres which is larger than Singapore. Due to the climate change, Alberta’s oil sands region was driven by strong winds and hot, dry weather causing a monster blaze. Even though scientists claim that it is impossible for global warming to cause the fire,…

Human activities are a major source of air pollution in our cars, trucks, and other forms of transportation do a great deal to pollute in the air. The book, Pollution Opposing Viewpoints, claims that there are varieties of ways that influence air pollution, but “the most common contaminants come from burning of petroleum hydrocarbon, the using of pesticides and industrial and domestic discharges due to those contaminants entering into the environment” (Roleff 26). Petroleum hydrocarbon is…

Year by year the world 's electricity needs increase. All of this electricity has to be provided some way; unfortunately, our world has become reliant on unclean energy sources, such as coal. With the effects of climate change becoming more and more prevalent it is important that the worlds electricity sources need to be reconsidered. Renewable energy technology has advanced greatly and costs have greatly decreased. On the other hand, non-renewable sources are being depleted and costs rising,…

by Shere (2012). As described by Shere (2012), the water heater that will be utilized is a tank-less unit that will use the stored energy from the solar panels to heat water on demand. All farm machinery on the farm will run on diesel fuel, which is much more fuel efficient than gasoline engines (Cole 2014; Equine Guelph 2016). An industrial tractor will be used to bring hay in off the fields and store the bales in the storage building. For moving hay bales and bedding from storage, as well as…

In the novel “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert, humans are destroying the world by burning fossil fuels, polluting oceans, rivers, lakes, and the air but, is it really the individuals human 's fault or is it corporations caring too much of profit that they will do anything to make an extra pennie? How many times have you heard about oil spills? Personally I have lost count of the ever increasing number of oil spills. Deforestation is also caused caused by corporate greed acording to…

so why not solar-wind hybrid system which has likes of both. But before going for any renewable energy system we have to hate the current power generation system, so that we do not switch back again. We have to know in what ways the current fossil fuel based power generation is affecting the environment and our health.…

A world academic has taken the world by storm. Many don’t believe in such phenomenon because of the possibility of such happening. This very phenomenon is known as global warming. What global warming is known for is the high rise of the average temperature from the past centuries. Earth is known for minor climate changes. For example, the season winter it gets colder compared to summer. How scientists determine past climates is by looking into the tree’s rings, ocean sediments, and etc.…

with humans, “volcanic eruptions, fluctuations in ocean currents”, and other natural disasters, produce destructive emissions that are released into the atmosphere (Gail, 2015). Many scientists believe that if humans continue to carelessly use fossil fuels, “weather patterns could change, causing flooding, drought, and an increase in damaging storms” (Should the U.S., 2012). Others however, believe that mother nature is in fact to blame for the global climate change. Whether it is derived…

processes cause the global warming that continues to affect our environment. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming. Human beings have raised carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with their activities, such as deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. The other major causes of global warming is population growth, pollution, and industrialization. These changes are resulting rise in sea level, melting glaciers, damage of the ozone layer, unseasonable rains, and also increasing many…
