Sustainable Engineering and Eco Design or Green Buildings supports the building designs without using fossil fuels. Examples of fossil fuels are oil‚ coal‚ gasoline‚ asphalt‚ etc. A design like this has a purpose of primarily to eliminate the negative environmental factors. But how is this possible? How will we connect ourselves to environment either? First and foremost

large part of this pollution can be attributed to the burning of fossil fuels. This includes burning coal to produce electricity as well as burning gasoline to power internal combustion engine vehicles. When these fossil fuels are burnt‚ they let out carbon dioxide‚ which is yet another greenhouse gas which traps heat within the atmosphere of the Earth and contributes to global warming. Secondly when the Earth is dug to extract these fossil fuels in the process known as mining‚ the methane inside the

website 2) Which one is completely human related? (meaning it is not found naturally in the environment) Where have you learned about this one before??... Carbon Dioxide is the most human related gas found in the greenhouse gases. The burning of fossil fuels and the emissions from cars create carbon dioxide. My science class also learned a few days ago that carbon dioxide is released into the air as a result of cutting down trees. Trees store carbon dioxide and usually release carbon dioxide‚ yet

Scientific contemporary issues: The causes and effects of air pollutants There are many different air pollutants created from many different sources. Sources of air pollution range from car exhaust emissions (Carbon dioxide‚ Carbon monoxide‚ Nitrogen Dioxide‚ Lead & particulate matter)‚ industrial sources such as factories‚ power plants and refineries (Sulphur dioxide‚ Nitrogen dioxide‚ Carbon monoxide‚ carbon dioxide etc) air-conditioning and refrigeration (CFCs). Natural sources also

In the past 30 years solar and wind power systems have experienced rapid sales growth‚ declining capital costs and costs of electricity generated‚ and have continued to improve their performance characteristics.

Before we begin to pose possible solutions to advert this catastrophe‚ we must fully comprehend the problem and all it entails.

Finally‚ this essay will discuss how deforestation in expanding industrial land changes climate. The combustion of fossil fuels is inevitable in industrial production‚ because it provides extreme high temperature and continuous heat. It is the direct contributor to climate changes by emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ sulfur

resources What are Alternative energy resources?? It is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. It is a form of energy derived from a natural source‚ such as the sun‚ wind‚ tides‚ or waves and are also known as “Renewable Energy” that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment. They are considered alternatives because they can be future replacements for the fossil fuels that now meet a considerable portion of our energy needs. What Energy Resources are we using

problems. Pollution comes in many shapes and sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil fuels are fuels made of organic matter such as coal‚ or oil. When fossil fuels are burned they give off a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane is naturally in the ground. When coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well. Another major man-made
