Impact of carbon footprint assessment for the economic sector of domestic as per household usage Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas - it traps the sun’s heat and keeps the earth warm. Too much CO2 in the air leads to climate change‚ also known as global warming. Other greenhouse gases‚ such as methane‚ also contribute to climate change. Countries and organizations count these as part of their carbon emissions. But for individuals the most important carbon emission is carbon dioxide. It’s well

The Iron-Carbon Diagram There are two iron-carbon equilibrium diagrams: - stable iron-graphite Fe-Gr - metastable iron-cementite Fe-Fe3C The stable condition usually takes a very long time to develop. The metastable diagram is of more interest. Fe3C iron carbide called cementite because it is hard. Following phases exist on Fe-Fe3C diagram: - liquid solution of iron and carbon (L) - ferrite ( ) – an interstitial solid solution of carbon in Fe (bcc). At room temperature ferrite is ductile but

and menial task. But the truth is; every tree makes a difference. One of the great functions each tree offers‚ besides its aesthetic addition‚ is the sequestering of CO2‚ carbon dioxide. To elaborate this importance‚ it is fair to paint the big picture. Heat is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere due to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat trapping gases which ultimately prohibit the heat from being released into space. This is what has caused the virulent phenomenon call “Greenhouse

The agents of the financial system that facilitate the movement of the funds from savers to borrowers are the financial institutions. The financial institutions include commercial banks‚ insurance companies‚ investment banks‚ finance companies and mutual funds‚ as well as regulators such as Central Banks‚ Securities and Exchange Commission‚ and the

Dracca became aware that one of its competitors‚ TrendBaby‚ Inc.‚ was soliciting information from one of Dracca’s employees‚ Bob Shumaster. Shumaster was apparently detailing product assembly information that was unique to Dracca and explaining to TrendBaby how this assembly strategy saved Dracca thousands of dollars each month. Dracca discovered that TrendBaby actually hired Shumaster to provide this information‚ and that Shumaster was using Dracca company computers to relay the proprietary information

unethically. At the centre of the government’s policy on climate change is pricing carbon. Many commenters and politicians have referred to this as a “carbon tax”. The idea is that polluters will pay per tonne of carbon they release into the atmosphere. This cost will initially be set at $23‚ and increase gradually until 2015. This is widely thought of as the most effective and least costly mechanism to reduce carbon output and reduce the level of climate change that is occurring.
