as gasohol Biofuels are a ’Greener’ Alternative to fossil fuels one main advantage that biofuels has over normal fossil fuels is that they are a sustainable source or energy. The plants which are used to make all the different types of biofuels can be replace quickly and easily by planting new crops-so this means they’re a renewable energy source . In contrast‚ there is a finite supply of fossil fuels like coal and crude oil. These fossil fuels will run out eventually and the planet will need

There are several different forms of energy I use throughout the year at home‚ work‚ and while traveling and the amounts of these energies I use varies with the different seasons. At home the main sources of energy used is the fossil fuel‚ natural gas‚ and the secondary energy electricity. Electricity is a secondary source because it is converted by using other primary sources of energy such as coal‚ nuclear‚ or solar energy (“Electricity Basics”‚ n.d). I rely on these two main

It does release carbon dioxide but captures carbon dioxide for its own growth. Carbon dioxide released by fossil fuel are released into the atmosphere and are harmful to the environment. 3.

December 17‚ 2015 Solar Energy The use of solar energy is increasing throughout the world. Solar energy is used to make light‚ run computers and to conserve energy. Today we used fossil fuel to run factories and make electricity but little do the people know‚ one day we are going to run out of oil because it’s not a renewable source. Then what are we going to do ? We would have no other choice then to start using the sun for energy

Fossil fuels has been identified as the main reason for the risen temperatures because the amount of fossil fuels that is being created. 3. There are many ways to prevent global warming‚ the most effective way of slowing down global warming is to save energy. This can be done if we limit pollution‚ choose

Non-renewable sources of energy normally have more negative impacts on the environment and human life than renewable energy. Fossil fuel is made from the long decay of dead animals and plants. Fossil fuel can be found in the form of coal‚ crude oil and natural gases and energy can be harnessed from these. Therefore‚ these forms of fossil fuel need to be extracted from the source first and then they can be used to generate electricity. Nuclear energy refers to the energy in the

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS BIODIVERSITY LOSS Biodiversity - refers to the number and size of populations in a community; variability of species in an area In general‚ there are three categorical levels of biodiversity: 1. Genetic biodiversity - involves populations‚ individuals‚ chromosomes‚ genes and nucleotides 2. Taxonomic biodiversity - include kingdoms‚ phyla‚ orders‚ families‚ genera‚ species‚ subspecies and populations - for practical reasons‚

Car exhaust is a large contributor to the emissions along with the mining or harvesting of the raw materials. Petroleum is involved in the construction of rubber‚ plastics and nylon. It involves the hydrocarbon burning of fossil fuels‚ significantly

you will no longer be able to drive your vehicle to work or anywhere you would like to go. This could be a possible outcome due to the fact that over the years‚ thousands of cars have been manufactured and most of them run and depend on fossil fuels. Today these fossil fuels are potentially in danger of running out due to the use of them in the vehicles we travel in every day. Currently cars such as hybrids are being manufactured and are being brought to attention so this problem will be less likely
