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…
Introduction: To state the words of a recent Senate Inquiry report,compiled by the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade References Committee, “Climate change poses a ‘current and existential national security risk" to Australia.’” In the present day, climate change showcases its lethal effects on Australia’s land, be it extreme drought in the dry regions, the maximal polarization of weather, destruction of the great barrier reef, and rising sea levels affecting the majorly coastal-residing…
present (Johnson, 2015). Not all plastics are recycled and some does go to landfill, but interestingly in Australia during 2010 the amount of plastics going to landfill was considerably lower than what was actually recycled. Australia uses 376,000 tonnes of plastic packaging each year and in 2010, it was recorded that 288,194 of this was recycled (Suez Environment, Sita Australia,…
Overfishing: the practice of commercial and non-commercial fishing which depletes a fishery by catching so many adult fish that there aren’t enough remaining to breed and replenish the population. Currently, fishing operations around the world are two to three times larger than what our oceans can sustain. Our combined global fishing capacity, or the amount of fish that can be taken by a single unit whether that be a fisherman or a trawler, is enough to be evenly expanded over at least 4 planets…
fuels and gas flaring. Carbon emissions go on without us realizing it. It comes down to the personal choices we make each day that dictates our carbon footprint. Today the average carbon release in industrial countries is 11 tonnes while the world average is only four tonnes . In developed countries, transportation and household energy use make up the largest component of an individual’s carbon footprint . Our lifestyle decisions have a large impact on our carbon footprint, our homes, cars,…
