Get startedThe effect of human influence in the emission of greenhouse gases has affected the earth immensely. It has led to unpredictable changes in weather patterns, a rise in sea levels and an increase of extreme weather events across the earth. These disparities in weather conditions endanger the safety of many, prompting them to consider relocation […]
When going shopping at the grocery store, do you usually pay attention to where the produce is shipped from? Most of the time, people really do not care about where their food is from.

Particulate Matter (PM or Atmospheric Aerosol) Pollution What is Particulate Matter? Particulate matter (PM) or aerosols, most ranging from between 2.5 and 10 micrometers in diameter, have many sources and can be anthropogenic or naturally occurring. Some examples include marine aerosols like salt, mineral dust from agricultural practices, biological particles such as microorganisms and their […]
Pollution Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an ecosystem. The contaminants are usually, if not always, created by humans. People should makes a better effort to help combat pollution because it harms not only animals by destroying their habitats, but it also can cause a deterioration in the life of humans as well.

This increase in population in urban areas demands serious expansion outwards, most notably to the suburbs or rural areas, due to the lack of space. Thus, […]
Global Warming Global warming is an increasing problem among us. According to National Geographic, temperatures on Earth are rising over twice as much as they were in 1968. Global warming is an atmospheric trend forecast by scientist as a result of global increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide and several other gases (Marsh & Grossa, 434). […]
Our Earth’s average temperature has gone up by 0.9ºC since the 19th century (Callery, 2018). That may not seem like a big enough difference to cause that much trouble but it’s effects are noticeable and undeniable. From higher temperatures to higher water levels the effects of global warming and how rapid it’s changing earth and […]
For many decades, ecosystems in the world have experienced climate changes. These changes include sea levels rising, the increase of temperature, and widespread coral bleaching. Climate change is the change in temperature of our earth that is caused by human activity. One of these climate change catastrophes is ocean warming and acidification on coral reefs. […]
The last several decades humans have spent on Earth will leave a mark beyond artifacts and history. We will leave a measurable footprint that tells a story of not only the conditions we lived in, but also the carelessness of our actions. Eric Sanderson, an associate director in the Landscape Ecology and Geographic Analysis Program […]
Recycling Research Paper The EPA said that 75% of the American peoples waste are recyclables, but we only recycle about 30% of it. Some might say that the recycling economy is dying and that it will cost United States citizens more money; however, the recycling industry will keep streets and oceans clean which keeps plastic […]
The Sixth Mass Extinction The mass extinction of certain animal species and plants that is facing the Earth today has been compared to, although some scientists suspect worse than, the extinction of the dinosaurs. The annihilation of the dinosaurs was caused by the collision of a large asteroid with the Earth. This current mass extinction, however, […]
Dominique Bowie Climate Change and the California Wildfires Your Class Instructor name August 13th 2010 The world around us is forever changing. Things don’t ever quite stay the same do they? Over the year there have been changes in politics, traditions, and even television. The list could go on and on. With that being said, […]
The greenhouse effect is an effect on the atmosphere as a result of the presence of a certain gases called greenhouse gases which are made up of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, nitrous oxide, low-level ozone and water vapour. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are similar to the greenhouse glass panes which trap the heat and […]
International co-operation in Kyoto Protocol. The environment started to be seen as a serious issue for some during the 1970’s. Many politicians at that point in time did not regard the environment as being an important issue, although the oil crisis of 1973 did make people think about pollution and resources. Concern for the environment […]
Problem Specification If everyone on the planet were to consume natural resources and generate carbon dioxide at the rate we do in the UK, we would need three planets to support us. Sustainability is becoming a central concern for all of us. It is a concern that has grown out of wider recognition that rising […]
Critically analyse and evaluate the impact of aviation on society Introduction The aviation industryhas dramatically changed the world we live in and has had a huge impact on almost all societies around the world.

The carbon credit market in India is all set to rake in more than $120 billion by the end of 2010. According to the World bank[1], one of the biggest intermediaries in carbon credit trading, India along with China could emerge as one of the biggest beneficiaries, accounting for as much as 25 per cent […]
INTRODUCTION Global warming is defined as temperature increase world wide due to green house gases emission and cause deletion to ozone layer [1]. It mainly occurred due to the burning of fuel, Green house gases include chloro- fluorocarbon (CFC), carbon dioxide, nitrous dioxide, methane, sulphur dioxide. Carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxides are the major gases that […]

2 Directives & Legislation driving Energy Efficiency 2.1Introduction The debate is ongoing, but there is now overwhelming scientific evidence that man’s activities are causing significant climate change. Climate change has the potential to affect all aspects of life on earth and will have major detrimental social, economic and environmental impacts. The best response to these […]
Chapter- 4 ABIOTIC ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES OF MORAINIC AND ALPINE ECOSYSTEMS Global warming/ enhanced greenhouse effect and the loss of biodiversity are the major environmental issues around the world. The greatest part of the world’s population lives in the tropical regions. Mountainous regions in many cases provide favourable conditions for water supply due to orographically enhanced […]
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Seas and oceans traditionally used by us to have all the source of rich, opportunity and abundance.

Alpine plant biodiversity in the Central Himalayan region: Perspective of global climate change Summary Increase in surface temperature at global scale has already affected a diverse set of physical and biological systems in many parts of the world and if it increases at this rapid rate then the condition would be worst one could have […]
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic climate change is a phenomenon that has received much attention in the last few decades, and for good reason. Since the renowned studies carried out by Dr. Rowland and Dr. Molina, which began in the 1970s on Ozone depletion, subsequent studies have revealed that human activity is causing the planet’s atmospheric and surface […]
Many people, especially Americans, believe that they will not survive, or will become gravely ill, if they stop eating meat, dairy, and eggs. The reality is that you do not need these foods to be healthy and the best option is to cut these products out of your diet completely, but the vast majority of […]
Lifeboat Ethics is a metaphor for the process of wealth and resource distribution as described by ecologist Garrett Hardin.
