Carbon Footprint: Carbon footprint means the total emitted greenhouse gas specially carbon by any organisation‚ event product or person. Woolworths is one of the largest company of Australia and despite this company trying to reduce their carbon production but still it producing heaps carbon..

The introduction of the carbon tax in Australia. Recently‚ the carbon tax issue has been gaining increasing attention in Australia due to its function of reducing greenhouse gas as well as its extensive economic impacts on a range of industries‚ such as tourism and hospitality. The conceptual meaning of the carbon tax is “a levy applied to various operations that generate carbon dioxide” (Covey‚ 2009‚ p.329). Such a tax is introduced to achieve a desired national emission target (Covey‚ 2009)

By Maxwell Kudzaishe Bhosha Topic: Carbon emission abatement can be achieved by various means‚ for example‚ regulation (controlling the emitting of carbon on the same basis as governments control other pollutants)‚ by subsidising consumption of renewable technologies using wind or the sun‚ by subsidising non-carbon polluting technologies and by supporting research into innovative green technologies. Another way of achieving reduction in carbon emissions is a pricing scheme such as a cap-and-trade

SOTA Review Carbon Capture and Storage(CCS) This research paper will briefly go over some of the designs that are being used and have been used throughout the history of carbon capture. To start‚ it is important to put in perspective what kind of money is spent on the capturing of carbon in a general sense. Another thing that is important to understand is a few of the main ways to capture carbon. Since the project definition is very specific‚ it is easy to find which types of capture will be

Carbon-14 Dating: an Invaluable Yardstick in the Chronology of Humans Archeologists use many methods to analyze data from the past. One scientific tool they use is to analyze the radioactive decay of chemical elements found in plant and animal remains‚ pottery‚ and even in rocks. Radiocarbon dating‚ also known as carbon-14 dating‚ has been one of the most important radioisotope dating methods used. This scientific tool‚ which was first developed by Willard F. Libby in the late 1940s‚ has significantly

a) Describe the physico-chemical qualities of water that are important to aquaculturists. Aquaculture can be defined as the high-density production of fish‚ shellfish and plant forms in a controlled environment. Stocking rates for high-density aquaculture are typically thousand fold greater than wild environments. Modern fish culturists employ both open and close systems to raise fish. Open systems‚ such as‚ the raceways are characterized by rapid turnover of water. Closed systems are commonplace

Carbon‚ Phosphorus and Nitrogen Cycles Humans have a great impact on each of the Carbon‚ Phosphorus‚ and Nitrogen cycles in the Ecosystem. The carbon cycle starts with the reservoir of the carbon dioxide in the air‚ the carbon atoms move from carbon dioxide through photosynthesis into atoms of organic molecules that form the plants body. These carbon atoms are then further metabolized and are eaten and turned into tissue that all organisms in the ecosystem use. Half of the atoms are respired

many ways. The carbon cycle humans have impact the most. By burning fossil fuels we have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by at least 35%. (Boorse‚ 2011). The impact that humans have had on this cycle has change many different elements of the natural environment. An example is the ozone layer is slowly being thinned out‚ which in turn is heating up the atmosphere of the earth. The thinning of the ozone layer is leading to changes with water level. The natural changes to the carbon cycle have been
