“The Effort/Methods to Reduce My Carbon Footprint and Emissions Ratings” By Elaine Unit 8 Project I have never considered myself as person who was interested in saving the planet or an environment lover; however‚ even as a child I was always fearful of contributing to the growing pollution that I saw as a child growing up in a small town in Rochester‚ NY. I can still see the trash that lined the sidewalks and the garbage thrown on the highways. What always haunted me was

to the tunnels with them as an early detection system against life threatening gases such as carbon dioxide‚ carbon monoxide and methane. The canary‚ normally a very songful bird‚ would stop singing and eventually die in the presence of these gases‚ signaling the miners to exit the mine quickly. Before the development of electronic household carbon monoxide detectors in the 1980s and 90s‚ carbon monoxide presence was detected with a chemically infused paper that turned brown when exposed to the gas

the carbon footprint of plastic grocery bags during its life cycle‚ I should first explain what does the carbon footprint term stand for‚ I would take the definition given in the textbook of this course‚ "The carbon footprint is the total emissions of CO2‚ more specifically greenhouse gases as CO2‚ equivalent (CO2e)‚ that is generated by individual‚ organization‚ event‚ product or process over its life-cycle". Knowing what the carbon footprint means now‚ I know that for discussing the carbon footprint

Does Human-Produced Carbon Dioxide Contribute to Global Warming? There are always two sides to an issue. This is especially true in Science. Each side will gather facts and statistics to help their argument. They will also fuel the argument with their opinions. Some articles are more persuasive in their reasoning then others. This persuasion can ultimately change a person’s opinion of the issue. The question to be answered is does human-produced carbon dioxide contribute significantly to

The temperatures are rising‚ and so are the sea levels. Glaciers are vanishing and the arctic ice is melting.If we don’t reduce our carbon footprint‚ soon (the next 50-100 years) almost all coastal cities and island nations will be under water and the inlands will be hit by long-lasting droughts. Reducing your carbon footprint means releasing less and less carbon and other greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.When you use electricity and power‚travel in vehicles and when you run factories and

reason for this development is the increasing CO2 emissions all over the world. In this case organizations play an important role. And that’s where green supply chain management comes into play. My question is: What can companies do to reduce the carbon footprints of their supply chains? The first issue is the problem of less than truckload shipments. So consolidating it into full truckloads would be a cheaper and greener solution. To advance truckload delivery‚ the enterpriser may install

Methane gasses released into the air are more potent than carbon dioxide. A study of the gasses released into the air found “in 31% of samples‚ silica concentrations exceeded the NIOSH exposure limit by a factor of 10‚ which means that even if workers were wearing proper respiratory equipment‚ they would not be

Biofuels. Name: Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: A biofuel is made from a biological process known as carbon fixation. These biofuels are gotten from the conversion of biomass‚ solid biomass‚ liquid fuels as well as biogases. The biofuels are continued to be known because of the high prices of fossil fuels and also for the purposes of ensuring fuel security in various countries. (Caye‚ D. & Terry W.2008). The biofuels are produced from two distinct ways; that is through metabolic by-products
