?SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN ALASKA? Scientists believe that a decrease of between 65% and 80% of carbon dioxide emissions is necessary to prevent the effects of global warming (?Carbon Dioxide?) and government taking actions to find solutions in Alaska. To create awareness the government has released new climate data‚ tools‚ and mapping of Alaska that will assist them to understand and prepare for future climate change (Wuebbles and Jain 2001 p. 99-102). Permafrost has been a major problem in

Sustainability Assignment 1. What are the issues surrounding the idea that landfills are closing? Please discuss issues in terms of perceptions‚ reality‚ circumstances‚ and functionality. There are several issues surrounding the idea of landfills closing. There exists the idea that landfills have been closing at a rate that would not allow for the proper disposal of trash. However‚ the case of landfills closing is much more complicated than an initial glance at the data may seem. First‚ it was

HISTORY OF SOLAR ENERGY Jake Tutorow Indiana Institute of Technology Fort Wayne‚ IN Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explain the history of solar energy as well as the difficulties faced in acquiring government support and investments for infrastructure and technological gains. The history of solar energy is broken into five distinct categories: Earth energy‚ the ancient solar age‚ the modern solar age‚ solar in the 1950s‚ solar today‚ and agriculture. Earth energy focuses on the understanding

Nuclear Energy and the Environment In our society‚ nuclear energy has become one of the most criticized forms of energy by the environmentalists. Thus‚ a look at nuclear energy and the environment and its impact on economic growth. Lewis Munford‚ an analyst‚ once wrote‚ "Too much energy is as fatal as too little‚ hence the regulation of energy input and output not its unlimited expansion‚ is in fact one of the main laws of life." This is true when dealing with nuclear power. Because

is that the world only has so much oil and eventually we will run out. It’s common sense‚ a linear system can not work on a planet with finite resources. Since than several groups of forward thinking engineers and scientists have been working towards new ways to generate power without the use of oil. There have been several inventions that have been found to be great forms of renewable energy‚ which will minimize the use of oil. But what if we cut out the main use of oil consumption? The gasoline

Considering that improving energy efficiency is high on importance for the EU‚ and for the entire developed world‚ we anticipate that the authorities are going to be fairly stringent on the issue of compliance of the said regulations. In approximately 7-9 years from today‚ it is going to be mandatory for buildings to meet the new set of criteria. Since we are

This company with Japanese roots is currently trying to change its image to be seen as a more environmental friendly enterprise. After the recent disasters in Fukushima the world is more aware than ever on the dangers of nuclear energy production and the shifting towards more sustainable production methods is inevitable. The amount of companies that use solar energy and wind power as the main sources to juice their operations
