Natural resources such as sunlight‚ rain‚ tides‚ ocean‚ wind‚ heat‚ biomass‚ geothermal‚ fossil- are naturally replenished. There are many natural energy resources which are limited in supply such as natural gas‚ oil‚ coal. But these sources only can fulfil our demands for next fifty to sixty years. As alternative to these energy there is renewable

The use of ethanol could decrease our dependence on ever depleting supplies of fossil fuels; such as oil. In this paper‚ I will briefly review how ethanol is produced in different parts of the world. I will also review several of the advantages of using ethanol as a renewable source of energy for the transportation sector. Many environmental organizations support the use of ethanol as it burns cleaner than fossil fuels. Ethanol is considered a renewable resource because it is plant based. Additionally

Climate change mitigation can be done through several means such as developing alternative energy which includes renewable and nuclear energy‚ decreasing the carbon intensity of fossil fuel through carbon capture and sequestering‚ reforestation and also simply by conserving energy. Based on the cost-benefit analysis of each methods‚ I believe that the effectiveness and practically of each methods can be ranked‚ in decreasing order

INDUSTRIALIZATION Industrialisation :The process in which a society or country (or world) transforms itself from a primarily agricultural society into one based on the manufacturing of goods and services. Individual manual labour is often replaced by mechanized mass production and craftsmen are replaced by assembly lines. .

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

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

Undue emission of injurious greenhouse gases into atmosphere is causing a raise in average temperature that in turn is affecting the climate on Earth (What is climate change‚ 2001). The use of fossil fuels as a dominant aspect is continuing to emit CO2 and other greenhouse gases into atmosphere that is causing even more grave effects to climate change. With the rise in temperature globally effects like severe changes in weather patterns‚ climbing

"About three-quarters of greenhouse gas emissions that are attributed to humans come from burning fossil fuels. We burn fossil fuels — nonrenewable energy sources — when we operate vehicles‚ heat our homes and even use electricity‚ according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration."
