Evaporation will take away all of the land’s water leaving it as dry as a desert. With a drought now in progress‚ it will make it harder to find water and support agriculture. That is why it is important to find ways to help the planet‚ not hurt it. Renewable energy is

Renewables contributed 19 percent to our energy consumption and 22 percent to our electricity generation in 2012 and 2013‚ respectively. Both‚ modern renewables‚ such as hydro‚ wind‚ solar and biofuels‚ as well as traditional biomass‚ contributed in about equal parts to the global energy supply. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$ 214 billion in 2013‚ with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind‚ hydro‚ solar and biofuels.

Natural resources are useful materials or substances that exist in the environment like land‚ water‚ sun‚ trees‚ oil‚ minerals‚ etc. Natural resources are generally classified as renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Resource depletion means exhaustion of natural resources in a certain region. When the rate of consumption of these resources exceeds the rate at which they are restored‚ depletion of resources occurs. The utilization of natural resources has increased considerably due to

Revolution of the 19th century ushered in new technologies. The spurt in inventions in that century was unprecedented in many ways. Some of these inventions involved use of natural resources like coal and oil. The thought of exhaustible nature of these resources and the environmental damage from the use of these resources never occurred either to the inventors or the subsequent generations. In the quest to sustain galloping economic activity‚ the dependence on coal and oil has soared at a phenomenal

Studyonlinenow Renewable Energy Is Only Part of the Best Way to Prevent Climate Change In our present life we are going through two of the main hazardous changes on the Earth‚ global warming and greenhouse affects. We want mankind to survive for a very long time‚ but if we keep using non-renewable energies the way we do‚ do you think we will be able to survive for a long time? I strongly believe that renewable energy is only part of the best way to prevent climate change. In this essay I

time count themselves lucky to have them. However‚ they rarely think about what gives them energy to run. They often think our energy resources are unlimited and never come to an end. Unfortunately‚ the reality is not that good. Our current energy resources are mainly fossil fuels ‚such as oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ are completely finite and they started to deplete due to overuse. Therefore‚ they will run out not many years later. Just another few decades‚ then they will be gone forever. We are now in a very
