Renewable Resources Humanity has very much enjoyed been driven around by fossil fuels. Our whole society relies on this machines we call automobiles who have been around since the invention of the first auto by Karl Benz (WhoInventedtheAuomobile). It does not matter where you go, if it 's either long distance or just for pleasure, motorized vehicles are the main means used for transportation. It can go as far as saying that the creation of automobiles functioning with gasoline has been the best invention since buttered bread yet again our days of this type of transportation are almost over. We dependent so much on this type of transportation yet again society does not stop to think what will we do when the resource, fossil fuels, are no…
Renewable Ressources The Earth as we know it today is endangered. At the brink of a monumental shift in living conditions, caused by manmade global warming, mankind is scurrying towards averting this calamity that would forever change the Earth. Global warming is slowly progressing towards the point of no return, which will lead to mass extinction of fauna and flora all the while forcing humans to abandon coastal areas as the sea level rises. Having identified fossil fuels as the main catalyst…
energy so that the increasing population will have adequate energy supplies should non-renewable energy sources become depleted. Energy efficiency can be improved by setting stricter guidelines for energy use for corporations and local businesses. These guidelines should be well enforced. Being energy efficient saves money spent on energy costs, and reduces pollution emissions. Additionally, solar panels should be installed onto medium to large sized infrastructure in the downtown core.…
Increased education for resource, water, energy, renewable and non-renewable usage can help maintain balance for these critical resources. Education that aims to inform the population will promote awareness of resource use, enabling a change in consumption patterns. Additionally, if changes are made to the consumption of these resources they would rely less on the products and resources from other nations which will limit environmental impacts from the use of these resources, thereby creating…

The negative impacts have had repercussions in the biosphere that will be difficult to undo. The repercussions are becoming more of a problem and are starting to affect different aspects of the biosphere. Humans are doing many things that impact the environment. Humans are rapidly growing, and the rapid growth means that many more humans are using nonrenewable energy sources. The non-renewable resources cannot be reformed quickly enough to keep up with the high demand. This will eventually…
environmental risks of pollution practices have gained attention and an effort is being made to improve the environment. Additionally, sustainability scientists are researching practices that promote the peaceful, permanent survival of humans on Earth (O’Riordan, 2013). Millennials have been referred to as the “renewable energy generation” by environmentalists as a result of their persistent efforts to increase environmental awareness and the use of renewable energy. However, despite the…
Imagine walking threw a big city like New York in the middle of the afternoon. You look up and see midnight black smog that is covering the city. How would you feel not being able to see any rays of sunlight? Well, the fact that global warming has been happening for decades isn’t something new. In fact, in some cities around the word air pollution is so bad that most people are unable to walk around without an air pollution mask. Yet with the public focus in the modern world on pollution, ways…
negligence, society has brought itself to a point where action must be taken for the earth to continue to meet the people’s needs. The use of renewable resources is a very important step that many countries have promised to take, although many have struggled to follow through with their promises. Although some countries have taken leader position in increasing sustainable renewable energy use, Canada would not be considered on of the leaders of this field. Even though they appear to…
1. What does the term “renewable” mean? The term renewable when referencing resources means a source of energy that is not exhausted by use, types of renewable resources include water, wind and solar power. 2. Which two renewable energy forms did you choose? In this DF I’d like to discuss biofuel and hydrokinetic power. 3. For each, describe two benefits. Biofuel yields many benefits, however, I feel like the two most important benefits we see when utilizing biofuels are, number one is that…
