Carbon Footprint Paper I chose to do my carbon footprint through http://coolclimate.berkeley.edu. This website provided me with an action plan on ways to reduce tons of CO2/year. Although with that said‚ I was surprised with the result which showed that we are doing 23.8% better than the average household in my area within the same income level. Our travel added up to be 1.9 tons of CO2/year which turned out to be 88.5% better than the average household. Our housing on the other hand came out to

position and told the gas company to immediately take care of the problem. Another problem that has developed due to fracking is pollution around the dig sites. Emissions associated with combustion include nitrogen oxides‚ sulfur oxide‚ carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Another emission problem is the emission produced from the natural gas. Gasses such as methane‚ ethane and liquid condensate and volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOC’s have been proven to cause birth defects‚ neurological problems

The Environmental Impact of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ a chemical made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms‚ is a non-flammable‚ odorless and colorless gas that exists naturally in the atmosphere. CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases‚ amongst methane‚ nitrous oxide and other gases‚ which keeps the Earth’s temperature habitable (UCAR). Without it‚ the Earth will be inhospitably cold. However‚ ever since the mid-nineteenths century‚ humans have significantly increased the amount

Both Plants and fungi affect the carbon cycle though they do it in different ways- both of them interfere with it while they are attempting to get food/energy to survive on. Each have adapted so they can live in an environment where they can source enough food to survive. They get these things from different sources so grow in very different conditions in order to survive. Plants live in places with lots of sunlight as well as a place where they can source water whereas fungi can live almost anywhere

Human Impact on the Carbon‚ Nitrogen‚ and Phosphorus Cycles Danielle Abbadusky Everest University Human impact on the cycling matter in ecosystems can change a lot of things. Humans can either help or hurt things. The carbon‚ nitrogen and phosphorus cycles are the three cycles of matter in ecosystems. What are these cycles? How do humans effect each one of these individual cycles? What are some examples of humans effecting these cycles? What is the carbon cycle? “Sequence of processes through

Deforestation The “Slashing and burning” of rainforests has to stop. The deforestation of our rainforests is effecting our environment and us more than you may think. We get the oxygen we need from trees‚ forests protect us from Carbon Dioxide‚ and forests protect most of Earth’s plants and animals. We need trees to breathe and rainforests to protect us from harsh things that we emit from our bodies. Many rainforests help and protect us. “More than 20% of the world’s oxygen comes from the Amazon”

Distinguish between a carbon-tax and a cap-and-trade strategy for reducing carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases (that are believed by many scientists to be causing global warming). According to the case‚ the carbon-tax and a cap-and-trade system are the best economic tool to employ to reduce emissions. As we know‚ taxes are the most important expense for a company or firm‚ if they would emit much more carbon dioxide and other gases‚ they need to pay more taxes on using carbon recourses. It
