As of 2002, nuclear power supplies 20 percent of the United States electricity and the consumption of it will only grow. Around the same time, the U.S. government based the idea that the United States should begin to construct power plants. With doing this, we would be collecting more energy from nuclear power for ourselves. This is not a smart move for the U.S. whatsoever Nuclear power is not cheap, does not a healthy environmental impact, and it has many risks involved. Nuclear power is…

Introduction Year after year, more and more industrial plants are popping up in neighborhoods across Canada; some industrialized areas are more concentrated than others. Lambton County in Ontario, for example, contains 62 industrial refineries clustered together and within a 25km radius is giving it its nickname “Chemical Valley.”(MacDonald, E., et al 2007) Canada is a resource rich nation, and a competitive leader on the world economic stage, thanks in part to the strong industrial and energy…

for advanced dependable batteries. The batteries themselves, however, are part of the biggest contributor to emissions. Electric cars may produce fewer emissions, but the factories that make the cars produce “8.8 tonnes” (Nikiforuk, 1) of CO2 while a gas powered car only produces “5.6 tonnes” (Nikiforuk, 1) of CO2 to make. The “battery (of an EV) accounts for nearly half of that” (Nikiforuk, 1). EVs must be paired up with factories that run on cleaner energy in order for them to make a big…

reduced as a result of a decreased in the amount of food waste going to landfill. They also work with Antoinette’s bakery and the Bretzel in Dublin. Every kilogramme of food waste they redeem is equal to 2.2 meals. To date they have been given 355 tonnes of food, equivalent to over 800,000 meals. (Business,…

10% doesn't sound like a great quantity, however it adds up to an immense amount pushing up to 8 million tonnes of rubbish each year dumped in the ocean. These ridiculous statistics are not acceptable and something needs to be done about it, not only for the sea creatures and coral reefs, but for humanity and other land based animals. We cannot live on a planet…

In Chapter 4 of A Novel Approach to Politics Van Bell discusses two of the major economic systems in use throughout the world, Capitalism and Socialism, and their fatal flaws. Capitalism’s fatal flaw, described as the Tragedy of the Commons, is an overexploitation of a resource. Socialism on the other hand solves Capitalism’s fatal flaw by regulation, but creates its own fatal flaw, Socialism is not good at producing goods only distributing them. An example of the Tragedy of the Commons is the…

response to Castro’s economic reform policies, the U.S ended its Cuban sugar quota in 1961 which resulted in a dramatic shift of Cuban exports to the Soviet Union and other socialist countries. These new export markets imported on average 4 to 5 million tonnes of Cuban sugar annually between 1975 and…

Chapter 1. The carbon emissions curve is exponential. What does that mean, and what observations or implications do the authors draw from it? When they say that the carbon emissions curve is exponential, it means that they are “the type of curve you get when the more of something you have, the faster that something grows” (p. 56-57). The emissions curve will continue to grow as long as we keep adding to it over time. This means that the only successful way to stop it would be to stop adding to…

the drug. These newer strings of barbiturates were introduced as safer, more effective drugs, however, were highly addictive with severe risk of withdrawal and death (López-Muñoz & Ucha-Udabe, 2005). By 1939, 100 tonnes of barbiturates were sole across the United States and nearly 2000 tonnes by the mid-1960s (Cozanitis, 2004). During this time, barbiturate related suicides were second to carbon monoxide poisoning, and it was estimated that one death occurred every 36 hours as a result of…
