energy to replace gasoline. This seems to be far from the truth. Even if all of America’s corn was used for food production it would still only help to replace 6% of the total amount of oil consumed by the U.S. The grain required to fill just one 25-gallon gas tank would feed a person for an entire year. While not just increasing the cost of corn for food‚ ethanol also decreases the supply. This also causes other food commodities such as corn‚ wheat‚ and soybeans to decrease in supply and therefore

Its fuel burn rate of 310 gallons per hour coupled with its 13‚000-pound-capacity tank meant that Figure 1. Cessna

The one gallon deal threw the supply chain off balance because Vlasic was running into shortages of the grocery sized pickles because the one gallon jar was flying off the shelves at a ridiculous rate. The gallon jar was a loss leader and in the beginning it was great. Vlasic and Wal-Mart were making only a tiny profit on each jar‚ but Vlasic’s sales revenues

water usage. Below are some easy changes to stretch your water supply a little longer between fill ups. 1. Installing low flow faucet aerators and water saving showerheads can make you tank of fresh water last twice as long since low flow means 2.5 gallons per minute‚ where a traditional flow rate is 5.5 or more. These easy‚ cheap additions can be the single best means of limiting fresh water usage! 2. Raw water toilets can get a bit swampy smelling so some people don’t like them but they are great

Water‚ Life Cannot Exist Without It Water is the world’s most natural resource and without it there would be no life on earth. Nature limits our available supply of water. Virtually all of human uses require fresh water. 97% of the Earth’s water is salt water and only 2.5% is fresh water of which over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The unfrozen freshwater is mainly ground water with only a fraction on the surface. Fresh water is a renewable resource but the world usage
