Environmental degradation is a process through which the natural environment is compromised in some way‚ reducing biological diversity and the general health of the environment. This process can be entirely natural in origin‚ or it can be accelerated or caused by human activities. Many international organizations recognize environmental degradation as one of the major threats facing the planet‚ since humans

Question: Energy is the main culprit of environmental degradation. Energy usage is undeniably a major contributor of environmental degradation‚ as large quantities of carbon dioxide and other waste products are emitted that ultimately causes a multitude of environmental problems‚ especially global warming. Energy and the environment are inextricably linked due to a carbon dynamics‚ where energy usage results in carbon dioxide emissions which accumulate in the atmosphere (Appendix A). Over time

Informative Speech April 24‚ 2011 Energy Efficiency There are various sources of energy available for use. However‚ energy is a limited and sparse resource that is not in abundance at all places. There is an ever rising need for more energy‚ but the energy supply and resources are limited. As a result‚ people have to develop means that can enable them to survive with the small amount of energy that is available. The proper and sustainable use of energy is known as energy efficiency. Efficiency is attained

“Without environmental sustainability‚ economic stability and social cohesion cannot be achieved.” There are 1 billion children living in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world)‚ 40 million live without adequate shelter‚ 400 million have no access to safe water. Every second 4 people die from hunger; around 27-28 percent of all children in developing countries are estimated to be underweight or stunted.

Environmental Factors Environmental factors can be political‚ social‚ ecological‚ cultural‚ technological and ethical in nature. Any organization that develops a product or service that they want to market domestically or globally must consider what the impact each of these factors may have for them. Not considering these factors can result in the failed attempt to market a product‚ which may be successful domestically‚ in other countries where there is a significant market potential.

Energy Management and Audit Report 1) Introduction For over the past few years‚ the planet Earth is being damaged by human activities. Buildings play a major role in that. They contribute to approximately 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions globally. Over the past 30 years‚ 10% of the ice burgs have been melted due to the rising temperature of Earth. The rise in temperature is caused by greenhouse gas. Therefore‚ green building is important today. Green building has both positive and negative

➢ Environmental pollution is contamination of air‚ water and land from man-made waste that causes instability‚ disorder‚ harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. ➢ Pollution leads to depletion of the ozone layer‚ global warming and climate change. ➢ Pollutants are the elements of pollution. A pollutant is a waste material that pollutes air‚ water or soil. Three factors determine the severity of a pollutant: its chemical nature‚ the concentration

Many of these impacts are linked with the construction of general infrastructure such as roads and airports‚ and of tourism facilities‚ including resorts‚ hotels‚ restaurants‚ shops‚ golf courses and marinas. The negative impacts of tourism development can gradually destroy the environmental resources on which it depends. On the other hand‚ tourism has the potential to create beneficial effects on the environment by contributing to environmental protection and
