World energy resources and consumption

statistics. This implies that the increase in the emission of carbon is proportional to the increase in the renewable energy supply. The question is why the increase in the CO2 emission leads to the increase in the renewable energy adoption? This might probably be as a result of government regulation which emphasize that as the CO2 emission increases, the need to switch to green energy increases, and that this comes with an option of not exceeding the compulsory emission caps (Huber &…

one of the most materialistic countries and that is because consumption has become a normal thing in today’s time. However, a few months of bliss is not a valid excuse for the damage consumption causes. The online article “Consumerism: Causes and Impacts.” written by Siddhant Sadangi, discusses the causes of consumerism and the negative impacts consumption has on society. In Annie Leonard’s Story of Stuff, she elaborates on how consumption affects the environment. The…

Introduction What do you think about pollution in the world? There are many factors that deal with the environment such as: air pollution by burning fossil fuels. Environmental problems have increased highly throughout many centuries. Our population is growing out of control and has put an increase pressure on natural resources, water, raw materials, and land. In the world environmental problems are getting worse every day because of extracting the resources are put into production which…

The targets for the Sustainable Development Goal 12 are partially quantifiable. In order to sustain the consumption and production patterns, the targets fall under two main categories, educating the world, and the applying this new knowledge. Targets 12.7 – 12.b all address the issue on making sure the world is aware of the environmental problems and consequences by promoting and encouraging new methodologies. They are not truly measureable, because companies can be informed but ignorant to the…

discussing in class was about resources- the biological regime, the industrial revolution, and the big corporates. In particular, great changes and brisk industrialization occurred in the 19th century. As Robert B. Marks explicitly explained, all living things need food for energy to live. Agriculture has allowed people to get natural processes. Agriculture was the main reason people switched from one environment to another, a place where more efficiently directed food energy to people. Marks…

congestion issue in Singapore, which is under transportation, pollution, and even energy indicators. With limited land supply, and a huge number of cars on the roads, Singapore faces this challenge of frequent traffic jams on our roads. Singapore has always faced congestion issues on the roads, although not as severe as compared to Beijing or Los Angeles. Nevertheless, Singapore ranked 55 out of 189 cities in the world in terms of congestion, based on TOMTOM Traffic Index in 2016. 34% extra…

The Earth is currently undergoing environmental problems. The existence of these environmental problems is represented by three factors: increase of population due to the rise of economic activities, decrease of the Earth’s resources, and the destruction of nature. Because of these, architects are searching for sustainable approaches and are promoting sustainable architecture. In the modern day, several infrastructures around the globe are based on. Architecture is more than building and…

Technology. Protecting environment and human health has been one of the major focus for countries around the world. More usage of energy would lead to more pollution and greenhouse emissions, which in turn leads to global warming. Therefore, energy conservation is important because it effects the environment and indirectly effects human health. By conserving energy, you save natural resources and reduce the emission of harmful substances into the…

population living in urban areas has reached 50 percent of the total world population and will reach 84 percent by the year 2050 (Dixon 2011). The rapid growth of population will have both positive and negative impacts in terms of economic and environment to the cities. In terms of economics, the large number of the population becomes a driving force to boost urban economy due to the abundance of labor and the increasing of consumption. On the other hand, the huge number of the population will…
