less than 5% of the world ’s population‚ it uses more than 30% of the world ’s resources (Society and Technological Change‚ 88).While the three fossil fuels‚ petroleum‚ coal‚ and natural gas‚ give us enormous amounts of energy; the excessive use of them greatly alters the environment. National Environmental Trust reports that the burning of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. The burning of these fusels increases the amount of green hose gas levels in the atmosphere. These gases actually

For example‚ the internet facilitates the communication between the diversity groups of people. Genetics increase people ’s lives and cure diseases‚ and the invention of the airplane reduces the time of traveling from one side of the world to another one. Reviewing the use of fossil fuel in history‚ people used to use

the growing of numbers of vehicles the dependency of people to the petroleum and fossil fuel increases. This not only gives threat to the ecosystem of the earth but also lead to the depletion of source of carbon as manufacturing of cars required a tremendous amount of energy comes from the burning of fossil fuel. Not to missed that‚ crude oil production is also likely to end as there is a dramatic increases of fuel demand from the petrol stations. Insufficient of public transport as well as the reluctant

Should the Use of Wind Energy Be Encouraged? Fossil fuels are having great impacts toward nature such as global warming and greenhouse effect. Plus‚ the depletion of it contributes to the rising price of petroleum. Therefore‚ wind power rise as it is a source of clean‚ non-polluting renewable energy (Nash‚ 2008). This type of energy generation provides us with loads of benefits environmentally and economically. On the environmental aspect‚ wind energy does not contribute to pollution as almost

Sustainable Mauritius Brundtland report (1987) has defined the term sustainable development as the development that meets the needs for the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs Sustainable development and planning is structured essentially around 3 elements: economic growth‚ social development and environmental protection. While development is associated with social development‚ it is also associated with environmental disasters if the development

view all energy sources we know within a defined system (Earth) are finite some energy‚ for example energy obtained from fusion process‚ could be considered practically inexhaustible. Some energy sources have limited quantities and occurrence (fossil fuel‚ uranium) and could be depleted. Other‚ coming from nature‚ like solar radiation and mechanical energy produced by gravitational interactions in system EarthMoon are limited in their flow/flux but

and ecological problems. It causes health problems like cancer‚ emphysema‚ and asthma. It also causes the depletion of the ozone layer which results in global warming and melting of the ice caps. Up until the industrial era‚ the air was fairly clean. The use of smokestacks and the burning of fuels put many pollutants in the air during this period of time. The increased use of fossil fuels today also builds on this. There have been many attempts at stopping air pollution. The Clean Air Acts were

all know some ordinance and provisions concerning about our environment. We saw it everywhere but sometimes we don’t obey it because no one is watching us and no one cares to our environment. The carbon cycle starts off in many different ways‚ fossil fuels‚ respiration‚ and factory emissions. Then as the cycle continues‚ carbon that is transmitted into the oxygen will then be taken in by plants and animals as they intake vegetables and other autotrophic organisms. Then as organisms and waste products
