Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations. Every year‚ at least 430 people die in the U. S. from accidental CO poisoning. It is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities. In the atmosphere‚ it has a role in the formation of ground-level ozone. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom‚ connected by a triple

Unsaturated organic compounds : Organic compounds in which a double or a triple bond exists between two carbon atoms in a carbon chain‚ are called unsaturated organic compounds. 10. Hydrocarbons : Organic compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons. 11. Straight chain hydrocarbons : Hydrocarbons‚ in which all the carbon atoms are linked to one another in a straight chain

Though the movement is represented by a range of organizations‚ because of the inclusion of environmentalism in the classroom curriculum‚ the environmental movement has a younger demographic than is common in other social movements (see green seniors). 2. Environmentalism * Environmentalism as a movement covers broad areas of institutional oppression. Examples of these oppressions are: consumption of ecosystems and natural resources into waste‚ dumping waste into disadvantaged communities‚ air pollution

The term carbon footprint‚ therefore‚ is a shorthand to describe the best estimate that we can get of the full climate change impact of something. That something could be anything – an activity‚ an item‚ a lifestyle‚ a company‚ a country or even the whole world. CO2e? What’s that? Man-made climate change‚ or global warming‚ is caused by the release of certain types of gas into the atmosphere. The dominant man-made greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ which is emitted whenever we burn fossil

2013 Carbon Footprint Until very recently‚ most people had never heard of a “carbon footprint.” Now‚ all of a sudden‚ the phrase is hard to avoid. In an age of slick slogans‚ fast fashions and fickle fads it’s easy to assume that this is just another quirky passing gimmick. But it could well be the most important concept of our time. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted as a direct or indirect result of an activity (Yarrow‚ Joanna. How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint:
