ii. Need (Problem) We face a large problem with trash build up on our Earth. A. Pollution (air‚ water‚ land) Anything that isn’t recycled could go into landfills or be dumped into the ocean. Landfills can pollute water and leak methane gas into the atmosphere. B. We will run out: We will run out of natural resources. If you don’t recycle paper‚ more trees will be cut down‚ reducing the world’s oxygen and increasing the carbon dioxide. If you don’t recycle aluminum

POLLUTION SHIVALLI RAGBIR UPPER SIX B ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE OIL SPILL IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO The Petrotrin oil spill was a series of oil spills that transpired on the island of Trinidad and Tobago. There were a total of eleven oil spills that took place in December 2013. The first spill began when the 16-inch sea line No 10‚ operated by the Trinidad’s national oil company‚ Petrotrin‚ ruptured at the bottom of the Gulf of Paria near the company’s Pointe-a-Pierre refinery

Biomass is a renewable‚ organic energy source that comes in five different forms. Those forms include garbage‚ crops‚ wood‚ landfill gas‚ and alcohol fuels. Biomass can be converted to many useful forms of energy like transportation fuels ( such as ethanol and biodiesel). Biomass is one of the biggest green energy sources in the world. Converting Biomass‚ first goes through chemical and thermal to mechanical and finally to electrical. That is the process we use when we burn biomass. So an example

Green house gasses are to blame for the intense climate change. Carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and ozone gasses are the prime factors in this dramatic earth change. The burning of caol and oil are the cause of the outrageous fossil fuels that are destroying the ozone. Majority of the world relies on electricity to survive. Over 50 percent

“They understand the size of the problem‚ but they haven’t yet figure out the timing” (McKibben‚ We are running out of time. These plans make more sense if we had started twenty years ago. But now “ the waves are already breaking over the levee; the methane is already seeping out of the permafrost; the oil wells are already coming up dry” (McKibben‚ ). We are right in front of the line. Those solutions sound feasible‚ but they are not fast enough to preserve our planet from

According to national geographic‚ water accounts for eighty percent of the natural greenhouse warming and the other twenty percent is due to gases present in small amount such as carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide. Carbon dioxide is the big absorber of sun rays‚ it is released through burning of fossil fuels and emissions from cars which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leading to increase in temperatures. An environmental

able to do anything. I believe that this could be an effective way to help fight against climate change and reduce a specific greenhouse gas. However‚ the article also states that this method may actually increase the production of nitrous oxide and methane which are more potent than carbon dioxide through the bacteria in the ocean that decays the biomass. It is a catch 22 situation and I believe that other methods should be found that only decrease green house gases. We should not have to sacrifice
