In Michael Pollan’s essay‚ “Playing God in the Garden”‚ we are introduced to the New Leaf Superior‚ a genetically engineered potato. This is not the first of its kind‚ for it is only one of the many foods that are products of an emergent development here in the United States. Monsanto and other giant transnational companies are carrying out a dangerous global experiment by introducing large numbers of genetically engineered foods into our diet. Genetic manipulations can result in unanticipated harmful

ENERGY MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES INTRODUCTION In the modern days energy has the significant role in our life. With development where we got comfortable life and much modern facilities where we got some problem with excessive use of energy resources as declining of energy sources‚ climate change. So it is an big challenge for present and future generations as the cost of energy increase and its supply decrease‚ older buildings needs to modified and new buildings designed to use less energy. The optimization

The solar energy use in Africa These days‚ solar energy has been the most talkative alternative energy source in the world. Unlike the gas‚ oil‚ and coal‚ solar enrgy is one of the clean and renewable resource‚ which can not only generate power but also protect the environment. Africa‚ has second largest population‚ estimated 1.6 billion‚ however‚ around one third of it’s people still live in the condition with no eletricity. (Renewable energy in Africa
