Everyday 160 billion tonnes of water flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, more than 4 times the combined flow of all the world’s rivers. Every day an estimated 7000 MW of potential energy flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia is home to the world’s highest tides. Across the world, the average difference between low tide and high tide is 1 m, but along the Bay of Fundy the tides can increase the water level by up to 17 m. What accounts for such…

Italy emerged among the victors of World War One, yet faced dire economic and political circumstances at the end of the war. Unemployment and inflation was comparable to that of Germany and parliament experienced five successive governments between 1919 and 1922. This social tension was compounded by the unsuccessful Paris Peace Conference where Italy lost territory such as the town of Fiume, and the rapid rise of the socialist party; supported by the growing poor. In many respects the Fascist…

non-renewable resource. Non-renewable means that it cannot be naturally replenished by Earth at the same rate that humans are consuming it. Kazakhstan, a country in central Asia, currently has the most access to uranium right now, with about 23,000 metric tonnes, which is roughly equivalent to 50 million pounds (Nuclear Power). This may seem like a large amount, but at the rate that it is being used, this supply will only last about 200 years, if not…

municipal solid waste (MSW) is monumental for sustainable development, because all human activities generate waste. This has significant impact on the environment (hazardous gas emissions), economy (disposal cost) and health (DEFRA, 2011). About 3 billion tonnes of MSW are generated in Europe annually (EC, 2010). Fig 1.1 shows the municipal waste generation by EU countries expressed in kilogram per capital for year 2003 and 2013. While Fig 1.2, shows the amount of waste treated in EU countries…
