there had to be plants, which take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. This resulted from an exceedingly complex series of evolutionary developments from anaerobic, or non-oxygen-breathing, single-cell life-forms to the appearance of algae. As pl...
Air and water pollution is often due to unfortunate chemical spills and opened containers. Solutions such as ammonia, paint and oil have been polluting our atmosphere and oceans for years, tainting our water resources, killing wildlife and, harming the ozone layer. The use of these chemicals in ...
and preferably 1.5°C, above pre-industrial levels. The global warming limits in the Paris Agreement are, at least implicitly, about stabilizing the climate whereas at the moment, we're on a pathway that in the next few decades will result in temperatures rapidly warming through...
How does the burning of fossil fuels result in a rise in the temperature of the global environment? Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels are made from plants and animal decomposition, where it buried under the ground over millions of years. Fossil fuels are of four type...
Of course, this is a simple model. Water does not simply hit the land and roll off it into a stream. Rainwater (and everything else) is lost through absorption by plants, evaporation and consumption by humans. These factors also depend on the area; the clay-like soil of Georgia will no...
Eventually, it was determined that the refrigerant used for decades in automotive AC, known as R-12, CFC-12, or its brand name Freon, was damaging the ozone layer (it's a chlorofluorocarbon). It was banned from being manufactured in the United States and an alternative, called R-134a or...
The water is infused with ozone (03) molecules as a disinfecting process, and the molecules naturally break down and leave the water fairly quickly. As an additional benefit, when the ozone molecules degrade to 02 and molecules, this leaves free oxygen ions to bond with other contaminants like...
Using unsweetened yogurt has been one of the popular home remedies for thrush many people have tried, but not a lot were actually able to see any benefit from it or cure their thrush issues. The reason yogurt has been widely suggested as a remedy for oral thrush has to do with the good...
Green machines like hybrids and hydrogen vehicles stand to benefit even more. Engineers are already developing fuel cells packed with carbon nanotubes to store hydrogen and increase reactivity. Carbon nanotubes may also one day replace expensive platinum as the hydrogen fuel cell catalyst, driving down...
Does the non-sustainability of today’s actions and policies derive from bad faith, ignorance, individual interests? Why are man and his organizations incapable of seeing into the distant future and instead behave in a myopic manner? The aim of this conceptual paper is to build a suitable ...
