SUSTAINABILITY ASSIGNMENT 1 KHANH NGUYEN 1001974 THE NATURAL CARBON CYCLE Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the biogeochemical cycles which the fourth most common elements on Earth. It is also a basis of all life and continually cycled and globally existed. Carbon dioxide is obtained from various sources‚ including emissions from volcanoes or industries and combustion products of organic compounds and the respiratory activity of living organisms. Carbon dioxide not only going into the atmosphere through the

Explain the impact that humankind has had upon their spaceship up to date. Humans have had the biggest impact on the earth and of all its life support systems since the beginning and its only now when everything’s nearly destroyed that we finally notice that this planet is all we have. The earth has naturally given us and all the other species on earth exactly what we need to survive‚ yet we continue to find new ways to destroy these given resources to make and supply people with things they don’t

Carbon monoxide is a tasteless‚ odorless‚ colorless‚ highly toxic‚ and flammable gas. Its chemical formula is CO. Carbon monoxide is mostly formed from the incomplete combustion of carbon and/or molecules that contain carbon. Carbon monoxide is usually inhaled into the body when people smoke cigarettes or any other substances. When breathed into the human body‚ carbon monoxide alters the hemoglobin and thus puts a stop on the absorption of oxygen into the red blood cells. Carbon monoxide has different

Carbon Footprint The term “carbon footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide we emit into the air every year. C02 is produced by many sources and is the gas responsible for Global warming and alarming changes in our climate. As we use our resources‚ the negative impact on our environment increases. The more C02 emitted in the air the more our ozone layer is affected. C02 is a natural gas and is always being emitted and absorbed to and from the air. There is a certain amount of carbon

environment. In another words “Environment is sum total of water‚ air and land interrelationships among themselves and also with the human being‚ other living organisms and property”. It includes all the physical and biological surrounding and their interactions. Environmental studies provide an approach towards understanding the environment of our planet and the impact of human life upon the environment. Thus environment is actually global in nature‚ it is a multidisciplinary subject including physics

Introduction In this project I aim to explain the contributes to the environment by the actions of humans and display the consequences. I am going to divide the project into different sections and then sub sections to make the project easier to navigate around and keep the information in relevant sections. • Section 1: HABITAT REDUCTION BY HUMANS. * The building of houses and roads * Quarrying * Farming * The draining of wetland areas * Recreational uses • Section

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:

the carbon footprint of plastic grocery bags during its life cycle‚ I should first explain what does the carbon footprint term stand for‚ I would take the definition given in the textbook of this course‚ "The carbon footprint is the total emissions of CO2‚ more specifically greenhouse gases as CO2‚ equivalent (CO2e)‚ that is generated by individual‚ organization‚ event‚ product or process over its life-cycle". Knowing what the carbon footprint means now‚ I know that for discussing the carbon footprint
