What they think about is their career and being well being in life but have missed the point that our environment is a catastrophe in the making if we give a closed pair of eyes to it. Pollution‚ disasters‚ diseases‚ loss of innocent lives‚ and depletion of natural sources to name a few would be staring at us soon and would be the news of the day. All these could be avoided and averted if every single soul living on this earth gives a thought and cares for our environment. On hand‚ we have pollution

they rarely think about what gives them energy to run. They often think our energy resources are unlimited and never come to an end. Unfortunately‚ the reality is not that good. Our current energy resources are mainly fossil fuels ‚such as oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ are completely finite and they started to deplete due to overuse. Therefore‚ they will run out not many years later. Just another few decades‚ then they will be gone forever. We are now in a very critical position that we must find other ways and

attributed to insufficient generation capacity. Problems with the supply of coal to Eskom’s coal-fired power plants‚ skills shortages at Eskom and an increasing demand for electricity as a consequence of economic growth have also been postulated as possible causes of the crisis. At the time‚ it was decided that additional power stations and generators needed to be constructed. Steps taken by Eskom to maintain their plants‚ increase coal supplies and plant performance improvement led to a suspension of load

Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activitity on the biophysical environment. Environmentalism‚ a social andenvironmental movement that started in the 1960s‚ addresses environmental issues through advocacy‚ education and activism. The carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has already exceeded 400 parts per million (NOAA) (with total "long-term" GHG exceeding 455 parts per million). (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report) This level is considered

Human impact on the Environment: Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes impacts on biophysical environments‚ biodiversity and other resources.[1][2] The term anthropogenic designates an effect or object resulting from human activity. Causes[edit]Technology[edit]The application of technology (in general) often results in unavoidable environmental impacts‚ which according to the I=PAT equation is measured as resource use or pollution generated per unit

has positive as well as negative impacts on people‚ society and environment. Positive Impacts on People The potential of nuclear power has been recognized by people. It is capable of providing unlimited and easily accessible energy. Due to the depletion in reserves of fossil fuels‚ costs of fuels and power is increasing at a fast pace which is directly affecting the people. Besides‚ the use of fossil fuels results in production of harmful oxides of carbon and nitrogen which have an adverse effect

Pune. sgkanitkar@gmail.com‚sgkanitkar@enviroabrasion.com Abstract— Traditional methods of Power generation using fossil fuels have tremendous negative impact on ecology. The cost per unit of energy is also increasing day by day due to the depletion of available resources. Therefore development of alternative resources of energy is important for the survival of humanity. Ocean wave energy provides ample scope on the renewable energy map. Geothermal is the second important area for focus. In

The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate and will result in less than half of the Artic covered in ice by the time summer comes around. Also with the polar ice caps melting there is also the melting of glaciers. They are retreating at the highest rates ever documented. With the retreating of these glaciers is the depletion of the freshwater
