everyone can do their part. Reducing the amount of non-renewable resources used each day would make a large impact in the energy conservation movement. Sources of non-renewable energy include coal and fossil fuels such as gasoline‚ oil and natural gas. To reduce the use of fossil fuels‚ driving vehicles‚ which use these resources‚ less will help in a big way. Driving fewer miles will save money as well‚ and reduce pollution produced by gas-fired engines. To help get better gas mileage check

they observed was there are several greenhouse gases that were responsible for warming and human emit them in a variety of ways. These gases include water vapor‚ nitrogen‚ methane and carbon dioxide. Most of these gases come from combustion of fossil fuels in cars‚ factories and electricity production. The gas responsible for most warming is carbon dioxide. Other contributors include methane from landfills and agriculture

burn many different types of fossil fuels to produce ourselves electricity and to power up our vehicles‚ and so we create a lot of pollution‚ making this our own fault. With our modern technology and the abundance of the sun’s energy‚ solar energy has the ability to provide the world with electricity and different types of fluid (“Solar Energy”). Solar energy is ?e energy source. It is also comparable to fossil fuels in the way that it works‚ but unlike fossil fuels‚ solar energy is pollution-free

almost every aspect of our lives. Energy sources are defined as either non-renewable or renewable‚ with each having different impacts on the environment and the economy. Most of the environmental impacts today are a result of the dependence of fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources like solar‚ wind‚ geothermal‚ hydroelectric‚ and biomass have far less of an impact to the environment. All means of producing energy sources face challenges to the environment with renewable energy having the least

disadvantages‚ benefits‚ expenses‚ and government policies on this issue‚ including the climate changes due to the burning of fossil fuels and many other things. This fact points to the actuality of this matter – the future of renewable energy is a very important question nowadays. My goal in this paper is to prove that renewable energy has far more advantages then fossil fuels and deserves to be called the “energy of the future”. To achieve this goal‚ I have organized my paper into three sections

During the World War II‚ the fossil fuels played an important role in the battle because all the participants in the war needed combustible; therefore‚ countries as Venezuela and Norway started to export petroleum to the countries that were in the dispute. Subsequently‚ all the countries’

more extreme storms‚ more severe droughts‚ deadly heat waves‚ rising sea levels‚ and more acidic oceans‚ which can affect the very base of the food chain. The primary cause of global warming is human activity‚ most significantly the burning of fossil fuels to drive cars‚ generate electricity‚ and operate our homes and businesses. Tropical deforestation‚ also by human hands‚ is another major contributor. According to Union of Concerned Scientists ( 2010) When these forests are burned‚ they release

atmosphere trap heat from the sun. They let heat in‚ but prevent most of it from escaping. It is essential for life because we need a certain amount of radiation to heat up our atmosphere. What human activities produce Greenhouse Gases? By burning fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and gas‚ Carbon Dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Deforestation also releases Carbon Dioxide. Farming in rice paddy fields and cattle farming produces Methane. Nitrous Oxide is produced by jet craft‚ car and lorry engines

earth’s surface and the oceans is directly proportionate to the concentration of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In the last one hundred years‚ the concentration of these gases has increased tremendously due to large scale burning of fossil fuels and rapid industrialization. This has accelerated global warming‚ which in the future will lead to the submergence of land masses into the sea‚ extinction of certain vegetation and wildlife‚ and the
