Although we hear about this from time to time the problem has grown tremendously beyond our knowledge. There are a growing number of animals dying each day due to plastic particles that either get stuck around their head‚ or that they swallow. If we do not stop plastic pollution in our oceans the ocean will eventually

The effect of a Bottle Rockets dimensions on the rockets hang time Respectfully Submitted to the Science Department of Blanche Ely High School Bryan Berrios Andre Edwards Rashean Senior Abstract Bottle rockets‚ people see them as middle school science projects where kids have fun and build little rockets. Actually there is a lot behind bottle rockets‚ it’s more than just throw some plastic bottle together and glue some wings to it and fly it. The researcher chose this topic because in his class

happened to all that hot air There must be more to this story. In this laboratory you will be investigating how pressure affects the temperature of air and how this relates to the formation of clouds in the troposphere. You will form a cloud in a bottle‚ find the dew point and relative humidity of air at different places in the school and use a chart to estimate how high that air would have to rise to form a cloud. Part 1 In order to explore how clouds form in the atmosphere we have to examine

devices‚ plastics are now used in almost every aspect of everyday life‚ creating a much simpler and safer world. Although plastics carry hundreds of benefits‚ these do not completely counter the harmful effects that they have on the environment and on the health of humans. The amount of plastic that has been created since 2000 is nearing the total amount that was created in the entire last century‚ and as this demand increases‚ so does the knowledge of their environmental costs. Plastics are now known

recycling of plastics bringing any long-term benefits to the environment? Plastics are one of the most popular building materials of modern human culture‚ but its widespread has brought many problems and caused environmental issues of extraordinary scale. Throughout the years‚ discarded plastics are accumulating as debris in landfills and in natural habitats worldwide. To control this issue‚ governments of many countries have established industrial processes for transforming discarded plastic into useful

Bottle bank What happens to the bottle we throw into the bin? Everything starts with a bottle which is thrown into the bin or‚ to be more specific‚ into the bottle bank. Bottle bank is a special container‚ used for recycling many types of bottles‚ from plastic bottles to glass bottles. There are also bottle banks which are separated by colour of bottles like brown bottles‚ green bottles‚ clear bottles and so on. But what is recycling anyway? Recycling means turning materials from waste into something

Frequently Asked Questions About… Department of the Environment Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs What are the benefits of compact fluorescent light bulbs? Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) have several advantages over incandescent light bulbs. They last 810 times longer‚ use about 75% less energy‚ and produce 90% less heat while delivering more light per watt. For example‚ a 25-watt CFL provides about 1800 lumens‚ compared to 1750 lumens from a 100-watt incandescent lamp. Use of CFLs reduces

BIGGER AND BETTER IN PLASTICS Factory-assembled towers boast competitive advantages over those that are field-erected Cooling towers – bastions of wood‚ fiberglass‚ steel or concrete – could someday go the way of galvanized pipe‚ aluminum cable and other equipment that has been materially altered by plastics. It’s not that plastic cooling towers are new; on the contrary‚ they have been around for more than 30 years. Rather‚ it is the fabrication of these plastic structures in larger

According to a 2001 World Wildlife Fund survey‚ individuals around the globe consume some 89 billion liters of bottle water annually‚ worth roughly $22 million. Citizens of the U.S. alone consume about 13 billions liters of bottled water.[1] The human body ideally requires us to drink two liters of water per day and people are increasingly looking towards bottled
