Greenhouse

The GreenHouse Effect Many people ask themselves what is the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect is the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere. While this is a good thing as the planet's temperature stays the same and gets warmer this is also affecting the environment badly without use even knowing. Global warming is not just a theory it is happening right before our eyes and is affecting the earth in countless ways and…

Greenhouse seminar has helped me to adjust to the college atmosphere. The community was warm, welcoming and just what I needed to strengthen my writing skills for the duration of college. Through this term, I have: conducted experiments, analyzed ideas, written essays, reflected, read articles, peer-edited essays, proposed ideas, conducted interviews and volunteered. With all of these different exercises, I have made significant process in my writing process. Throughout this class I have learned…

attempting to find the CAS Greenhouse that was recently discovered from an Internet search concerning urban agriculture around Boston, and or specifically, Boston University. We hope to learn that something has come of our efforts, but to avail. However, a very cool hideaway and homework/lounge area has been duly noted. In our efforts to find the hidden (even though it’s literally on the top of the biggest building on campus) treasure, we sought to see if the CAS Greenhouse contributed to the…

amount of greenhouse gases being released into our Earth’s atmosphere. Although your corporation has taken some environmental initiatives, we would like to ask that you please reconsider drilling and refining oil because it is harming the environment. Oil spills are one thing, but climate change is another. Our ecosystem and climate is very fragile, and we only have one Earth. Ever since the industrial revolution in the 1700-1800s we have been releasing more and more amounts of greenhouse…

estimated that about 15 percent of the greenhouse gasses that are released into our atmosphere are from deforestation from plantation agriculture (WWF). The Amazon Rainforest is known as a carbon sink, meaning that the trees here soak up carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses that pollute our atmosphere (WWF). With the increasing numbers of trees being cut down every day for the high supply and demand of the cash crops here, the amount of the greenhouse gases being released in the atmosphere…

Annotated Bibliography Greenhouse, Steven. “Driverless Future?” The American Prospect, Prospect.org, 21 Mar 2017. http://prospect.org/article/driverless-future. Accessed 6 Feb 2018. In “Driverless Future”, Steven Greenhouse discusses the potential beneficial and adverse effects that self-driving cars will cause in the future. Greenhouse begins by laying out the two most talked about effects of automation: job displacement and safety increase. In terms of jobs, he asserted that there would…

The hypothesis being tested in this experiment states that, as a result of the enhanced greenhouse effect, the air in a sealed container with transparent walls becomes warmer when exposed to sunlight. The procedure that was conducted in order to test the greenhouse effect is rather simple and demonstrates significant amounts of information that prove the hypothesis. The experiment involves two glass containers, Mason Jars, each containing an identical amount of soil. The soil is used to…

Indoor Farming!? The Potential Solution of the Ever-Flattening World? All my life I’ve been surrounded by farming. Yet I’ve always wondered what will happen to farming as we know today by how fast our population is growing. Where will we get the food to feed this ever-growing population? Well there is a new innovative idea that could become the solution, Vertical Farms! As Friedman says in “The World is Flat”, “Whatever can be done will be done. So, if you have an idea, pursue it. Because…

Greenhouse Gas Nightmare “CO2 ,No Big Deal”. Said no one ever! Elon Musk, the founder of tesla, paypal, and even more reputable companies, even said “We 're running `most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere... can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe”(brainyquote). If you are the typical resident in San Francisco, then you may have heard that the State of California has declared a drought of emergency on January 14,…
