With an increased mount of food‚ the population would rise causing a growing need for more food‚ which would eventually lead to a depletion of resources. When circumstances like these arise‚ humans tend to create even more inventions to mend the previous problems‚ like the Neolithic Revolution. It is progress traps like these that have led to the current generation and because of these

According to Ritch ‚ within the next 50 years‚ the global energy consumption would increase by 100% or even 200%. Experts believed that the current world oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas reserves were not enough to supply the expanding demand . Moreover‚ according

As humans progressively use more and more oil‚ our supply of oil goes down. The depletion of oil has become a problem that people are addressing constantly. Many alternative forms of energy have been developed but no method has proved totally efficient and economic. However‚ Methanol could prove to be the solution the human race is looking for. Methanol could be used to replace gasoline in our cars for future years to come. Methanol is easy to make because it originates from our trash and biomass

The atmosphere is the complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth’s ecosystems. What are Air Pollutants? An air pollutant is known as substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment. Pollutants

pollution are called pollutants. Pollutants that are pumped into our atmosphere and directly pollute the air are called primary pollutants. Primary pollutant examples include carbon monoxide from car exhausts and sulphur dioxide from the combustion of coal. Further pollution can arise if primary pollutants in the atmosphere undergo chemical reactions. The resulting compounds are called secondary pollutants. Photochemical smog is an example of this.

MAN AND NATURE Human beings are the creations of nature. They drew everything needed for their very survival from nature. The air they breathe‚ the water they drink‚ the food they eat and thousands of articles they use daily-all come from nature. Yet‚ strangely enough‚ man keeps a hostile attitude towards nature. Conquest of nature is the expression which is often used to denote man’s activities like space exploration‚ taming the rivers‚ etc. which sums up man’s attitude towards nature. Our
