Smog‚ trash‚ and pollution are everywhere. Yet no action is taken to stop its growth Our world is home to billions of people and for millions of years life has existed and died. Those dead organisms get buried in the ground for hundreds of millions of years and turn into oil and coal that today we as humans use to power our homes and cars. However fossil fuels are very unclean and they cause huge catastrophes in our environment like global warming. A recent study by Cornell University found that

Abstract Transport came to the lime light of the pollution debate after the issue of pollution from sooty smog from the burning of coal got to be solved. Since solving of the issue‚ emissions that ensue from the transport sector including motor vehicles‚ jets‚ and trains have been the main contributors to the pollution of the air. The effects of the emissions affect the urbanites health conditions‚ in addition to affecting the production‚ of ozone in the troposphere. This research paper considers

addition to the high amount of greenhouse gas emissions‚ humans are using up fossil fuels at an alarming rate. It is pivotal that humans find a to achieve sustainable‚ zero emission transportation. Convincing a population to switch over to zero emission transportation will be a challenge on many levels. Transferring from conventional cars to fully electric cars is a viable and necessary action to help preserve Earth and to achieve sustainable transportation.

25 percent of manmade emissions of carbon dioxide in the U.S. are from transportation. Light duty vehicles‚ sport utility vehicles (SUVs)‚ minivans‚ and other light trucks are prolific carbon dioxide emitters. Using renewable fuels in transportation can help reduce the air pollution associated with burning petroleum. Compared to gasoline‚ ethanol made from corn is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20-30 percent. Moreover‚ ethanol from cellulose – made from the stalks‚ stems and leaves

emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels. These fossil fuels are coal‚ oil and natural gas‚ they are all non-renewable and currently running out. Some estimates suggest that if we continue to use them at the rate we are currently doing there could be approximately just 45 years’ worth of oil‚ 70 years’ worth of gas and 250 years’ worth of coal left in the ground (2). Another gas which is contributing to global warming is methane‚ this is derived from the bacterial breakdown of

increasing awareness in the fight against global warming and greenhouse gas emissions‚ governments around the world are looking for alternative sources of energy. These include wind‚ solar and hydro energy sources‚ known as renewable sources (Able to be regrown). However‚ one fuel source in particular is currently being used and produced to power both vehicles and electrical generators around the world; biofuels. Biofuels are renewable gas or liquid fuels made from plant matter such as corn‚ sugar cane and

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The price of oil and gas has been fluctuating for some couple of year now. The prevailing economy situation in the European Union and political differences between the EU and kremlin has help to plunge revenue for Gazprom. The pressure for Oil Company to replace depleting oil reserve has become even more difficult to achieve‚ environmental concern and climate change and alternative energy source has also contributed to the challenges face by Gazprom consequently the company

of 1‚204 toxic waste sites on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund National Priority List are former municipal solid waste landfills” (Denison 280). That means landfills are major sources of air and water pollution‚ including greenhouse gas emissions. Another myth is that recycling is not cost effective‚ and should pay for itself. As discussed in “Recycling Is Not Garbage” an analysis of nine years of detailed data collected by the Seattle Solid Waste Utility shows that‚ after a two year

Alternative fuels‚ also known as non- renewable sources‚ are substances that can be used as fuels‚ other than conventional fuels. Conventional fuels include: fossil fuels (petroleum (oil)‚ coal‚ propane‚ and natural gas)‚ and nuclear materials such as uranium. [ 1] The fuels we use now are finite‚ meaning they have a limited life expectancy. This along with the toxic waste they produce has made environmentalist and government officials alike take precautionary steps so that we do not
