RE: Request for funding to spread awareness about green energy

Dr.,

North America is blessed with an incredible energy endowment. However, the production, distribution and use of energy can have significant environmental impacts. The Proposal here is with proper funding, our team consisting of individuals who believe in green energy and are fully devoted to saving this planet, aims at spreading awareness about the pollution, its harmful effects and how much in danger our beloved planet earth is and also show them and make them aware how they can contribute as individuals and as a society to save planet earth by going green.

Our team is fully dedicated and plants to start the research on the 3 E’s of green energy; Energy Efficiency, Energy from renewable and Emission reduction. This research will include looking for ways how a business can change its energy consumption, how an individual can change his/her energy consumption and how society as a whole can make a difference. Later we will put our research together and market it to the businesses and society, this will make them aware of how they are harming the planet and how they can stop doing that and help save planet earth by going green. People than will be more careful about polluting this planet and will contribute more towards saving our home planet earth.

Background

Each year in the U.S. industries dumps over 3 million tons of toxic chemicals into the land, air and water. But industries are not the only part of the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused by industrial and commercial waste, agriculture practices, everyday human activities and most notably, modes of transportation. As shown in appendix 1 every year one American produces over 3285 pounds of hazardous waste and there are a total of 314,803,989 Americans (U.S. Census Bureau) dumping 517,065,551.9325 tons of waste into land every year furthermore the emissions from all the vehicles in U.S. contribute 45% to global

    Energy has easily become one of the most important necessities for our everyday lives. Without it we would simply not be able to have transportation or be able to gather any of our other resources that we depend on. If at anytime our energy supply ceases or no longer attainable the results may be horrific. However, it is quite easy to keep this from happening, It is crucial that our current population realize the importance of sustaining our present non-renewable resources. An examination of all the present energy issues and human impacts of energy conservation along with the a resource plan will show importance of energy sustainability how it must be a success.…

    Modern conveniences have shaped our lives. Energy and its many uses help to keep humans safe, feed, and mobile. These modern abilities have also created a strain on our environment and the natural resources that make this existence possible. Currently electric for our community is generated by coal and our water is processes by electric. Our fossil fuels are on the brink of extinction, making the actions we take now more vital than ever. Creating an implemented plan that changes our current consumption of fossil fuels, will perpetuate a cleaner community, stabilize eco-systems, and provide a future for the generations to come. Harnessing renewable natural resources will allow the earth to heal because renewable resources are cleaner, efficient, and readily available.…

    Did you know that by our everyday habits and choices, the average American puts out 22 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year? Experts studying the recent climate history of the earth agree now that global warming is occurring at a precipitous rate, and human activities are the dominant force driving the trend. Our smokestacks, tailpipes, and burning forests emit CO2 and other gasses that add to the planet’s natural greenhouse effect, allowing sunlight in, but preventing some of the resulting heat from radiating back to space. Many climate experts say that without big curbs in greenhouse gas emissions, the 21st century could see temperatures rise 3 to 8 degrees, weather patterns sharply shift, ice sheets shrink, and seas rise several feet. The problem of global warming seems overwhelming, but there is a lot you can do to help. Reducing your personal share of global warming emissions is easier than you think.…

    Without conservation the world’s population will consume the natural resources and destroy the environment and atmosphere while doing so; therefore, we must improve on conserving what we generate while finding efficient ways to sustain our environment and produce maintainable energy. I will review factors that contribute to or affected by energy consumption, and what impact humans have had on the issue. I will evaluate some current strategies and solutions and provide a plan to reach sustainability. I will outline the benefits and challenges presented with the plan while reviewing the governments, society and global involvement to the plan.…

    The discount rate is used as a measure to determine future costs and benefits from climate change. However, according to M.Harris, there is uncertainty when using this method. He states that other methods that include ecological as well as economic costs and benefits should be chosen. M.Harris examined two studies, one by William Nordhaus and other by Cline. William Nordhaus said that the most favorable policy would be a minute reduction in greenhouse gas emission lower than recent estimations. Whereas, Cline focused on long-term effects and used a low discount rate of 1.5% to level present and future cost. From these studies, M.Harris concluded, “Even though costs of aggressive action appeared higher than benefits for several…

    Jodie and Mary are twins joined at their lower abdomens. Jodie is an alert baby, with functioning heart and lungs. Mary has no effective heart or lung function and lives purely because of her attachment to Jodie. According to commonly accepted medical evidence, Jodies life would be virtually as long as, and would have the quality of, that of any ordinary child if separated from Mary. It is clear that if the twins were separated then Mary would die. Equally, it is clear that if the twins were not separated then eventually Jodies heart and lungs will fail and both twins will die. The parents are resolutely opposed to any surgery for the twins as they feel it would be morally wrong to intentionally cause the death of one of their twins.…

    One of the largest problems tackling with our society today, interfering with our lives and causing irreparable damage is pollution. Yes, you’ve heard it time and time again, but what are we doing to stop it? Let me simplify it for you… we aren’t doing anything to stop pollution, the contamination of harmful substances into our environment. Good morning everyone, I’m here to discuss the urging issue of pollution. Pollution is everywhere. It's human-made and everywhere in our environment. We put it into our air, our water and our land. It includes noise, light and visual pollution. Everywhere we turn in this man-made world we see, feel, hear and are surrounded by…pollution.…

    We as humans can do our part personally to contribute in energy conservation and helping to sustain the environment through using more energy efficient appliances which can be a bit costly at first but will save energy, the environment, and ourselves money in the long run. We as consumers can purchase compact fluorescent light bulbs that use less energy and last longer than incandescent light bulbs. And the next time you’re looking to purchase a new vehicle that is fuel efficient like a hybrid car which combines gasoline engines and electric motors. I think knowledge is power when it comes to each person doing their part so feel free to engage in more research on…

    The light from the sun is very important for us because it helps the plants on earth get energy. Because with out it the plants will not make oxygen for the people on this earth. Our oxygen is very important because we need it to stay alive. Carbon dioxide is very important because it helps the plants stay alive and the plants make the carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen. Global warming is something that heats up the planet it makes it hard for animals to live because water evaporates. Global warming happens every where and as it dose in Antarctica it makes it hard for penguins to live their because the ice is melting very fast. I see my self training for the job solar cell installer because I think that the solar cell installer is a very important job because it helps people so that they don't have to pay for using energy. I think that that job is all ready green enough so that's why I think that I will be training for this job. Our planet has many green jobs. For example there is a job called Fossil Preparer a Fossil Preparer is a person that works for Private Industries, they may work for Museums, or also University's to expose fossils covered by rocks or soil, or to construct missing fossil parts. Another job that is green is at Aquariums. In all the Aquariums they take care of the animals they study them to make sure the animals are not sick or if they are hurt. One last green job that I am going to talk about is Solar Panel Installer's so many people need solar cells on their roofs so we can conserve energy.…

    Environmental Science, Technology and Sustainability What are You Doing to Help Megan Lade University of Phoenix (Online Campus) Environmental science can be defined in many ways. Whether you discuss physical implications and problems we face today or the methods and technologies created for environmental sustainability, environmental science is a very dynamic field of study that relates to our world and what we are doing to preserve its beauty and resources for future generations. In my mind, the most important aspect of environmental science is education. Knowing what is going on around us and creating ways to effectively live symbiotically with our natural environment (as much as we can) is the answer to preserving our home. Modern technology has put a huge strain on our natural resources and environment, but that is only due to human demand. Due to our constant need for fossil fuels, our emissions destroying our atmosphere are through the roof. Burning gasoline creates carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas linked to global warming on a large scale. According to US Department of Energy, Americans used more than 350 million gallons of gasoline per day, in 2013. To put that into perspective, burning one gallon of gasoline produces more than 19 pounds of carbon dioxide now think about how many miles you drive to and from work in one day and multiply that by the 7 billion people in the world Although technology, as a whole, seems to be tearing apart our environment on a global scale some technology has been created to answer societies need for power and energy while maintaining a very small, if not non-existent, emissions footprint. Harnessing power from the wind is one of the cleanest and most sustainable ways to generate electricity as it produces no toxic pollution or global warming emissions. Wind is also abundant, inexhaustible, and affordable, which makes it a viable and large-scale alternative to fossil fuels (Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy…

    A penny saved is a penny earned. Reckless and unrestrained urbanization, with its haphazard buildings, has bulldozed over the valuable natural resources of energy, water, and ground cover, thereby greatly hampering the critical process of eco-friendly habitat development. However, it is not too late to retrace the steps. Rapidly increasing energy prices, concerns about resource depletion and climate change, have concentrated people’s minds on the role energy plays in our lives. Much of the effort is focused on securing sufficient supplies of electricity, oil, gas, etc, at affordable prices, but reducing energy demand at source can be better alternative.…
