The agricultural practices and certain waste management‚ aggravate the problem by releasing other potent global warming gases‚ such as methane and nitrous oxide. a. III. Solution to problems There is no single solution to global warming‚ but we can solve it step by step in order to make things happen for our own good especially to our planet earth by IV. Conclusion

Cattle that are raised on pastures and are fed a more natural and low-energy diet composed of grasses and other natural greens‚ produce manure containing half of the methane gases found in cattle fed with unnatural

HYDROCARBONS 365 UNIT 13 HYDROCARBONS Hydrocarbons are the important sources of energy. After studying this unit‚ you will be able to • • name hydrocarbons according to IUPAC system of nomenclature; recognise and write structures of isomers of alkanes‚ alkenes‚ alkynes and aromatic hydrocarbons; learn about various methods of preparation of hydrocarbons; distinguish between alkanes‚ alkenes‚ alkynes and aromatic hydrocarbons on the basis of physical and chemical properties; draw and

biodegradable materials decompose naturally. Examples are plastic‚ styro foam‚ aluminum cans and some kinds of rubber. Fuel gas is any one of a number of fuels that under ordinary conditions are gaseous. Many fuel gases are composed of hydrocarbons(such as methane or propane)‚ hydrogen‚ carbon monoxide‚ or mixtures thereof. Such gases are sources of potential heat energy or light energy that can be readily transmitted and distributed through pipes from the point of origin directly to the place of consumption

. GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE Uzochukwu Chekwube BSC2011 Professor Bloodworth July 21‚ 2014 Global warming is still a debate between us. Most people do not believe that our world is warming up‚ they believe the climate is in a cycle‚ and that humans do not contribute to the warming of our climate. Research supports the fact that Global warming is a huge factor in climate change

the Earth’s average lower atmosphere due to emissions and build up of greenhouse gases . Global warming is when the earth heats up and the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Most greenhouse gases are released by the burning of fossil fuels for heating‚ cooking‚ electrical appliances‚ transportation‚ and manufacturing‚ but they

biomass can consist of; trees‚ grains‚ algae‚ manure‚ garbage‚ sewage‚ paper‚ and many others. There are several methods of bioconversion; one way to create energy is by creating a methane digester. The way a methane converter works is it converts the shredded biomass into a gas known as methane. Soon the methane gas is used for heating‚ power generation or it could be purified and stored for distribution. In recent years many municipalities‚ which is a type of government on a small or local

ENGL 1302 11 July 2013 Summary-Analysis-Response Paper In Lisa Hamilton’s “Unconventional Farmers; Let Them Eat Meat”‚ she justifies the issue of raising livestock for food causing greenhouse gas emissions. Should we be eating less meat or actually eating more? Hamilton’s research found many interesting points that would interest any human beings that consume meat or any other type of consumable goods. In her essay‚ Hamilton begins with the statistic that “eighteen percent of the world’s

Go Green‚ Save Green We all realize that the planet is definitely changing and resources‚ such as money‚ and oil don’t come around as easily as it once may have and with the prices of virtually everything on the rise the least bit of extra cash can be the most bit of helpful. With only a few small adjustments to your daily routine we can lower energy costs‚ save money and ultimately help save the environment as well. While global warming and the oil peak aren’t the first things we think about
