The phenomenon of Global Warming, the gradual warming of the earth’s atmosphere due to emissions of greenhouse gases associated with human industrialization activities is a major concern for the world community. Most nations are in agreement that addressing greenhouse gas emissions as a way to contain Global Warming and its disastrous consequences is imperative, yet still; the world community has yet to form a comprehensive policy that gives each individual country reasonable standards which to…

The Paris Act held in Paris in November 2015, seems to quite the worries of many, about the dramatic issue of climate change, while scientists like James Hansen, a researcher on atmospheric physics at NASA that contributed significantly to the discovery global warming, depicts the Paris agreement as a “Fraud, a fake” (The Guardian, Dec.12, 2015). The Paris Act should theoretically represent an agreement, although in reality, there is no real agreement on measures, procedures and timing, in…

I. Attention Getter: Imagine a world where no one cared about their actions. We did what we wanted and we never considered the consequences of our decisions. That sounds very depressing and dangerous doesn’t it? This is happening today in regards to our Earth. Everyday people are regrettably not considering the environment with their actions and are continuing to do harmful things to our Earth. II. Connection to audience: The environment is something each of you should care about. We only have…

Today, we are facing the environmental crisis of global warming. A major factor that is contributing to this is the use and burning of fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil. Through the process of coal burning, Carbon Dioxide is formed as a result, which is one of the major causes of the Greenhouse effect. With the Greenhouse effect, the Earth’s average temperature rises, causing ice caps to melt, which is an effect of global warming. To put a stop to this, our population needs to…

Apart from the production unit, flare stack is also a significant security device for the petroleum and petrochemical industries used for exhaust gas pressure (Flare Gas) from the production process, especially if the process fails. Despite the safety equipment necessary, to reduce the frequency and volume of vented gas flares out to the left, it will reduce the anxiety of neighboring communities. Therefore, the company plans to reduce the flare stack as well as improve it efficiently as…

In 2016, mostly everything is instantaneous: information, media, and most of all our food. People in the western world, particularly Americans, rely on the instantaneousness of food in their daily lives. This benefit of accessibility is also a downfall. The food that millions of Americans consume so readily and easily on a daily basis is not only bad for them, but also the environment. Americans are eating more fast food than ever before. Long gone are the days of home cooked meals every day…

Reducing, reusing, and recycling are common terms in our society today. Along with the words “carbon footprint.” What is a “carbon footprint,” actually? Your carbon footprint is an estimate of the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions that result from your consumption levels in a given time frame. It is the mark you leave on our planet and our environment long after you are gone. Many people do not realize the long-lasting effects greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2 or carbon…

One small thing people should be willing to do that will make the world a better place environmentally is recycle. This can be reflected by several different ways such as: Carbon footprint,Tragedy of the Commons,Use of natural resources, cause of global warming, and its repercussions. By comparing the current consequences vs the possible outcomes, it will be clear that this small change will make an enormous impact on the world. A carbon footprint is defined as: The total amount of…

Imagine living in a world that is lacking in resources and breathable air. The land around you is completely barren, and there are absolutely no signs of life. Cities that once were lively are now desolate and abandoned. If Earth keeps heading in the direction it is going, soon enough it will be deprived of all that is good in it. The planet is very slowly headed towards its demise due to global warming. Because of the damage done from greenhouse gas emissions on the planet, the government needs…

Air Pollution in New Zealand The policy domain that I have chosen to focus my assignment on is health. The longstanding issue that I will focus my assignment on is that of air pollution from particulate matter in the residential sector. Particulate matter is very, very small particles that come from combustion of certain materials, such as burning fossil fuels, running automobiles and operating factories . These particles are very hazardous to human health, when we breathe in these particles…
