As we have far too much on our plates at the moment we are going to embed an inshightful article by Dane Wigington and as a hedge agiast the site going offline, as they sometimes do, we'll keep a hidden copy to be reused under fair use terms (in the public interest) should the ...
Air pollutants emitted from cars are believed to cause cancer and contribute to such problems as asthma, heart disease, birth defects and eye irritation. Greenhouse Gases Emissions from cars increase the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. At normal levels, green...
“I once bought a pair of jeans from a little boutique in Florida, because they said they were green-friendly but may not have been. I paid three times as much as I should have,” he says. As a general principle, eco-friendly goods are produced from sustainable and recyclable materials...
Even Bressler found it hard to grasp what this number really meant, so he found another way to express it. That is: For every 4,434 metric tons of CO2 that we add beyond the 2020 rate of emissions, we will kill one person. Those 4,434 tons are equivalent to the current lifetim...
How much of the greenhouse gases are emitted per year? How much does the greenhouse effect raise temperatures on Earth? How does intensive farming cause high emission of greenhouse gases? How does each gas contribute to the greenhouse effect?
The money earned from selling these credits is mostly used to fund one or more environment-friendly projects. These projects aim to fight climate change by either preventing GHG emissions or removing the same amount of carbon from the air that was emitted by the polluting organization or person....
Carbon reduction is everyone's responsibility. What kind of person can be regarded as "low carbon family" and what does "low carbon" represent? For us, the lifestyle depicts each person's "carbon footprint" (how much carbon dioxide is produced, used and consumed), and low-carbon life is...
How much of the greenhouse gases does the U.S. emit per person? How does a turbine jet engine work? How does a jet engine turbine work? How much do cars contribute to climate change? How does a jet engine work in the rain? How does a gas turbine jet engine work? How did the fir...
we're each burning 37 percent more fossil fuel than we were in 1970, eating 60 percent more meat, and taking 495 percent more plane trips. All that consumption adds up to 1.2 trillion tons of CO2 emitted in the past five decades, which contributed to ocean waters warming 1°F and sea ...
Consensus has also yet to be reached on how much carbon is being emitted by changes in tropical land use (see, for example, [1, 44, 65–69]. There is thus an urgent need for calibrating and improving the methods for determining tropical forest biomass and its spatial distribution [70]....
