contribution they can make in the reduction of global greenhouse gasses. The argument for the positive impact biofuels make can first be looked at on a national level. In 2003‚ DEFRA claimed that by growing and using transport biofuels in the UK‚ carbon dioxide emissions could be cut by 50 – 60% compared to those from fossil fuels‚ as well as reducing the need for foreign imports‚ and so could lead to a reduction in greenhouse gases. This is backed up by an article which states that farmers in the UK see

Thermal Physics Why a Gas Exerts a Pressure Consider the molecules of a gas moving at random in a container‚ as shown below. The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. (On the diagram‚ only a few paths of molecules have been drawn because...it’s a bit tedious drawing them!) It is assumed that all collisions are elastic. (Consider what would happen if the collisions were not elastic.) When a molecule collides with the wall‚ a change of

Deforestation In Uganda Brandon Clelland - 139962307 It is most apparent that all economic activities have an impact on the environment.

must not be allowed to contemptuously disregard key pre-election pledges to not introduce contentious revolutionary schemes‚ if elections are to have any meaning. 2. Misleading: The Carbon Tax or Pollution Tax is a tax on a pure gas‚ carbon dioxide or CO2‚ not carbon soot or general pollution‚ as dishonestly implied by these terms. CO2 is not pollution and does not need to be reduced in the first place‚ it is a natural trace gas we all exhale and is needed by plants to grow‚ notwithstanding

Cell Respiration Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose‚ which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy‚ but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity‚ the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form. Adenosine

Palm oil formed the basis of soap products‚ such as Lever Brothers’ (now Unilever) "Sunlight Soap"‚ and the American Palmolive brand.[11] By c. 1870‚ palm oil constituted the primary export of some West African countries such as Ghana and Nigeria‚ although this was overtaken by cocoa in the 1880s.[citation needed] Oil palms were introduced to Java by the Dutch in 1848[12] and Malaysia (then the British colony of Malaya) in 1910 by Scotsman

1) Make a promise to protect clean air. Nearly 37 million children live in areas with unhealthy polluted air‚ and many pollution- associated illnesses have been on the rise. Yet polluters and their allies in Congress have been fighting efforts to reduce toxic industrial pollution and are trying to weaken existing clean air protections. That’s why NRDC has joined other public health‚ advocacy and environmental organizations in the "Clean Air Promise‚" a national campaign to protect the health of
