It’s based on concepts such as conserving water and energy‚ reducing waste and pollution‚ harnessing renewable energy sources‚ finding ways to reuse materials‚ and developing less polluting technologies. Green technology is everywhere these days; in the news‚ politics‚ fashion‚ and of course technology. Green Technology is becoming so widespread throughout the world. People are becoming more energy efficient in their homes by buying water-efficient showerheads that are low-flow

Solar Energy Essay Fossil fuel comes from the earth‚ from the decomposition of dead living things underground. Fossil fuel is easy to get and is cheap‚ but fossil fuel takes millions of years to form and is not a renewable energy and it contains a large amount of carbon in it. There are some types of fossil fuel like; coal‚ natural gas and petroleum. Fossil Fuel makes electricity‚ motor oils and other things that are used in our daily lives. When fossil fuels are burnt‚ they produce heat‚ which

ENC1101 28 of September 2013 Alternative Energy vs. Fossil Fuels There are many alternatives that can effectively replace fossil fuels. Even though the United States is still dependent on fossil fuels; we have been working vigorously toward alternative energy. In the future the goal is to be completely independent from fossil fuels. Alternative energy has many different kinds of sources such as biofuels‚ hydrogen‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and nuclear energy. With such a vast amount of resources

Green energy is energy that is produced in such a way as to minimize its negative impact on the environment. Traditional energy sources‚ most notably fossil fuels‚ produce greenhouse gases that are believed to be the primary cause of an effect known as global warming or climate change. Sources of green energy‚ such as solar‚ wind‚ geothermal‚ and hydro energy‚ are developed and promoted as alternative sources that make little or no contribution to climate change. Even nuclear energy is sometimes

directly responsible for around 24% of the total energy use. At present this is split fairly evenly between the residential and commercial building sectors. Reducing energy use and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are both worthwhile goals as it saves money and saves the environment. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has been presented with increasing urgency within recent years as it is driving climate change. There are many opportunities to reduce energy and emissions within the building sector
