how increasing numbers of attendees and conventions at a destination contributes to the local economy‚ but there is limited research on the environmental impact of the concomitant increases in air and other travel‚ and other activity increases in energy and other resource use. This research assesses the current environmental position of the convention industry in the United States and formulates suggestions for future direction in regard to “green” concepts by examining and comparing the perceptions

debate whether using renewable energy is beneficial to our environment or not. The biggest source of our energy has been sourced by coal‚ oil and natural gasses. Some researchers believe that there are many benefits of using renewable energy and that we should be concerned with seeking environmentally friendly alternatives instead. Not only are these sources harmful‚ they will eventually deplete our natural resources. The goal is to find pollution-free renewable energy that can offer a better future

The key strategies to enhance sustainable livelihood at grass root level Definitions Livelihood strategies are the range and combination of activities and choices that people make in order to achieve their livelihoods goals. On the basis of their personal goals‚ their resource base and their understanding of the options available‚ different categories of households – poor and less poor – develop and pursue different livelihood strategies. These strategies include short term considerations such

Energy Production Controversy Imagine the U.S. without cars‚ motorcycles‚ planes‚ or boats. The daily lives of U.S. citizens would be completely different. The common denominator for all those modes of transportation is that they run on gas‚ which is made from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels such as oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas are nonrenewable resources. They will run out one day and that’s what the U.S. relies on for gas and electricity. Renewable energy such as solar‚ wind‚ and hydropower are infinite

Mechanical energy Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position). Introduction: We use a system consisting of two weights hanging at each end of a thin thread lying over a wheel. A photo gate is placed so that the light is interrupted by the spokes of the wheel. The data are recorded electronically and this makes it possible

The present study attempts to go beyond prior research by using a richer set of non-demographic predictors

the still tiny alternative energy market. In a minimum of fifty years fossil fuels‚ which include petroleum (oil)‚ natural gas‚ and coal‚ will all run out. Alternative energy is a renewable and the most productive type of energy for the USA and the world (United States. Department of Energy). Every person on this planet is provided with a dirty and unforgiving energy source‚ fossil fuels. Fossil fuels destroy and tarnish the once beautiful world. Alternative energy could slowing bring back some

or itself‚ it has energy. When you think of energy‚ you might think of action- or objects in motion‚ like the baseball that shatters a window. There are different forms of energy. Turn on an electric light and a dark room becomes bright. Turn on a music player and sound comes through your headphones. In both situations‚ energy moves from one place to another; effect and reaction. The two different types of energy are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy a moving object has
