An Environmental Conservationist‚ which is also known as a conservation scientist‚ is an excellent job for anyone who loves nature and wants to preserve all of earth ’s natural wonders. As a conservationist you need to‚ "Find your own ways to make less trash‚ and help others to learn how to reduce‚ reuse‚ and recycle." (EPA). The job is a hands-on job which means "spending a major portion of the workday outdoors without regard to weather." (Easton 35) Though this doesn ’t seem like a scientific job

1. INTRODUCTION The stability and life of any structure – a building‚ an airport‚ a road‚ dams‚ levees – depend on the stability‚ strength‚ and deformation of soils.[1] Unfortunately‚ due to the uncertainties of the world’s natural materials‚ the study of geotechnical engineering‚ and soil mechanics in particular‚ is both challenging and necessary. The following report is a compilation of the results acquired as a result of two laboratories performed by Group 13 at McMaster University on February

Forests are one of the most important natural resources that have been gifted to mankind for its sustained existence on earth. Conservation of forests is therefore a necessity that requires to be addressed as a priority. Forests provide us with huge amounts of tangible and intangible benefits‚ without which human existence would be threatened. Hence‚ for the survival of human beings‚ a holistic approach is required to be adopted towards a sustainable way to maintain our forests and meet our needs

Energy Conservation Jessica Goode Axia College of University of Phoenix We all use energy each and every day. We use energy for entertainment‚ cooking‚ transportation‚ lighting‚ heating‚ cooling‚ manufacturing‚ as well as many other things. According to the Webster Dictionary (2009)‚ energy is defined as just being active. If that is truly the case‚ then anytime we are doing anything we are being active and using up energy. Shouldn’t we try to conserve more energy if that is the case? According

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service. For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services‚ it can result in

Water conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning‚ manufacturing‚ and agricultural irrigation. Water conservation and water efficiency [edit] Water conservation Water conservation can be defined as: 1. Any beneficial deduction in water loss‚ use‚ or waste 2. A reduction in water use accomplished by implementation of water conservation or water efficiency measures; or‚ 3. Improved water management practices that reduce

Water conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning‚ manufacturing‚ and agricultural irrigation. Water conservation programs are typically initiated at the local level‚ by either municipal water utilities or regional governments. Common strategies include public outreach campaigns‚ tiered water rates (charging progressively higher prices as water use increases)‚ or restrictions on outdoor water use such as lawn watering
