Social studies essay: ecological footprint The ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the earth’s eco-systems .Although the majority of new zealander’s are aware of the damage that is being caused to the environment‚ our ecological footprint size per person in hectares was a shocking 7.6 . This information was recorded back in 2001 and since then we unfortunately have increased from 7.6 to 7.7 . so is the clean green 100% pure new Zealand motto really valid and if not ‚ what can we

countries by ecological footprint. This table is based on 2007 data from the Global Footprint Network published in 2010. Data is given as global hectares per capita. The world-average ecological footprint in 2007 was 2.7 global hectares per person (18.0 billion in total). With a world-average biocapacity of 1.8 global hectares per person (12 billion in total)‚ this leads to an ecological deficit of 0.9 global hectares per person (6 billion in total). If a country does not have enough ecological resources

Professor: Marc Hnytka June 24‚ 2013 Introduction Lab two experiments are dealing with the water quality and contamination. The water quality of water refers to the physical‚ chemical and biological characteristics of water. Experiment one refers to the effects of groundwater contamination. There were a total of 8 beakers that were separated in to two groups. Group one had beakers one through four and the second was five through eight. 1-4: If chemicals are added to the tab water‚ then the consistency

Is genetic engineering the answer to ending global hunger? SCI 207 March 23‚ 2013 Hunger is one of the root causes to poverty due to the exponential growth of the human population. The effects of hunger are diverse and have a negative effect on the growth and life span of a person. Scientists believe that they can help alleviate hunger problems through alteration and modification of genes in foods.
