Our fossil fuels are on the brink of extinction‚ making the actions we take now more vital than ever. Creating an implemented plan that changes our current consumption of fossil fuels‚ will perpetuate a cleaner community‚ stabilize eco-systems‚ and provide a future for the generations to come. Harnessing renewable natural resources will allow

Some countries are huge produces or investors in fossil fuel. Larger developed countries who are large polluters are therefore reluctant to change their ways. This is why China and other countries that are still expanding rapidly are building more

Introduction The atmosphere is considered as a great cover that guards the earth’s surface from the full solar radiations during daytime and prevents excessive losses of heat during nighttime. The atmosphere provides a sustaining livable temperature on the planet by maintaining the heat balance of the earth. However‚ humans disregard the atmosphere through activities that contribute in polluting the surrounding. In order to prevent and minimize the air pollution‚ it is essential to understand the

a lot of countries just use the fossil fuels to supply the energy that the whole city needs‚ but now the sources of energy are more than before‚ such as solar energy and biomass. So in this case‚ many countries try them best to harness the renewable energy to reduce the dependence on the traditional energy. Over the last five years‚ many European countries have increased their reliance on wind farms and hydroelectric dams because of more expensive fossil fuels. For example‚ in Sweden‚ the city

Global Warming: Causes‚ Effects and Solutions "’The future is here. Greenhouse warming is no longer just a possibility‚ it is happening now‚’ said Dr. Michael Oppenheimer‚ a senior scientist with the Environmental Defense Fund" ("Greenhouse Warning"). Representatives from more than 160 countries met together in the first ten days of December this year to come to an agreement on a treaty to slow down global warming by setting the limits on the countries’ greenhouse gases emissions‚ which include

percent‚ that allowed consumers to keep their light and heat on 24/7 even in extreme hot and cold weather (“Nuclear Matters ”‚ n.d.). Besides environment and reliability‚ nuclear energy has more efficiency than burning fossil fuels. It has high energy density viruses to fossil fuels (“Nuclear Energy”‚ n.d.). To illustrate‚ a gram of uranium releases an amount of energy much more than a gram of coal or oil; approximately eight thousand times(Parker‚ 2010). However‚ that is also excellent for the environment

atmosphere by a process known as the “greenhouse effect”. The primary gas responsible for this effect is carbon dioxide. Human activities since the industrial revolution has caused a dramatic jump in the carbon dioxide levels‚ as we have developed a fossil fuel based economy. This increase in carbon dioxide means that a greater fraction of the sun’s energy is trapped rather than escaping each day‚ driving overall temperatures up. Carbon dioxide is the main GHG. Other gases‚ such as methane are

stop the process of fracking. My opponents say Fracking should stay since it creates jobs‚ makes money for us‚ makes us less reliant on foreign oil and that it will help power our country’s power. They say that it will hopefully get rid of dirty fossil fuel and will help many towns with money by selling off land to be fracked.according

The first industry to be industrialized was the textile industry in Britain. However‚ not everything resulting from the industrial revolution was good. In fact‚ the pollution‚ poor working conditions‚ and poor living conditions in the industrial
