world ’s nitrous oxide emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels" ("Renewable Energy is Beneficial…")‚ it is clear that we need to rethink our current use of fossil fuels. Humans pollute the air by releasing baffling amounts of harmful chemicals into our atmosphere. One such chemical is nitrous oxide: "Today‚ human activities release about 433‚000 metric tons of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere each year" ("Renewable Energy is Beneficial…"). The source of these quantities is‚ for the most part

answering the following questions: “What is happening in the world today that the literature on sustainable development regards as unsustainable?” and “Is the South African response to the challenge of sustainable development‚ climate change and renewable energy appropriate? Or should more or less be done?” In order to answer the above mentioned questions the following literature was consulted: Just Transitions by Mark Swilling (Chapters 2‚ 3‚ 4 and 8).

charge. It is the most routinely and widely used energy. It is an energy carrier and a secondary source as we get electricity from the conversion of primary sources such as coal‚ gas‚ and solar energy. These primary sources are either renewable or non-renewable sources but electricity itself‚ is neither. The most common way to generate electricity is using fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and natural gas. They are known as fuels because they release energy when they are burned and fossil fuels because

always be Currently solar energy does not have the same subsidies as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels subsidies are $72 billion and solar energy subsidies are only $1 billion so the majority of the money goes towards fossil fuels. Solar energy having the same profits as fossil fuels is better for everyone. It would improve the overall health of the planet‚ it would be cheaper and create jobs. As well‚ solar energy is a renewables power source unlike fossil fuel. Solar energy is better for everyone because

Solar energy is argued to be the most sustainable type of energy there is‚ but some argue that it isn’t actually as sustainable as others would like to believe. The reason for this is‚ like with the wind energy‚ manufacturing the solar panels has some reports call ‘environmental downsides’. However‚ it is also considered to be one of the most sustainable energy types because it has two forms – light and heat‚ both of which are important to us and the wildlife surrounding us. Plants need the light

consequent loss of Australian jobs and profits. The industries which would stand to benefit if Australia ratified the Kyoto protocol‚ or on the other hand stand to lose from Australia’s failure to ratify‚ are those in the field of sustainable or renewable energy. Such businesses would have enhanced opportunities if Australia was able to participate in projects that will be lost if Australia fails to ratify the Kyoto protocol. It has been suggested that under the protocol flexibility mechanisms‚ ratifying
