It is a particularly urgent issue for Unilever since the countries that are expected to feel the effects most severely are the developing economies that generate more than half our sales. We have calculated the greenhouse gas emissions across the lifecycle of over 1‚600 representative products in 14 countries. The calculation covers 70% of our volumes. From this we know that our largest greenhouse gas impacts are beyond our factory gates. The sourcing of raw materials and the use

Research Topic The introduction of a carbon tax in Australia would have implications for economic and environmental sustainability. Obviously in the longer term the aim of the tax is to promote environmental sustainability but in the short term there will be implications for economic sustainability for a range of businesses and households. Using a range of current sources including reports and newspaper articles discuss the short and longer term implications of a carbon tax for the tourism and hospitality

The carbon cycle is the exchange of carbon among three reservoirs or storage places: the land‚ the oceans‚ and the atmosphere The atmosphere has the least amount of carbon‚ followed by the land with it plants and animals‚ also

Schmeer English 121 8/28/13 Greenhouse Emissions Caused by Transportation Global Warming is defined as an increase in the earth’s normal atmospheric temperature due to the greenhouse effect (Dictionary.com). The warming of earth’s atmosphere occurs when “CO2 absorbs infrared radiation and then re-radiates it back toward the surface of the planet” (Mahlman). Reducing unnecessary travel and shipping will reduce CO2 emissions. The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has increased dramatically

REDUCED RELATIVE CLAUSES Reduced relative clauses are participle clauses which follow a noun. They are like relative clauses‚ but with the relative pronoun and auxiliary verb (if there is one) left out. Because they modify nouns‚ (reduced) relative clauses are occasionally referred to as adjective clauses. Reduced relative clauses are used most often instead of defining relative clauses‚ which are what we’ll be mainly looking at. Reduced Relative Clauses You may remove the relative pronoun

Ecological Footprint works in basic terms. It examines the benefits of ecological accounting‚ introduces some of the most important Footprint findings‚ and addresses provocative questions: Do we fit on the planet? How can the Footprint foster sustainable human development? How do carbon emissions contribute to humanity’s Ecological Footprint?

one form. Carbon is one of the elements that contain many allotropes. Each allotrope of carbon has its own different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond‚ graphite‚ fullerenes‚ carbon nanotubes‚ carbon nanobuds‚ amorphous carbon‚ glassy carbon‚ lonsdaleite‚ and carbon nanofoam. Diamond is the best know allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest known natural mineral which makes it very rough. In the structure of the diamond‚ each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms and

Remoteness of damage / Foreseeability of damages Remoteness of damage relates to the requirement that the damage must be of a foreseeable type. In negligence claims‚ once the claimant has established that the defendant owes them a duty of care and is in breach of that duty which has caused damage‚ they must also demonstrate that the damage was not too remote. Remoteness of damage must also be applied to claims under the Occupiers Liability Acts and also to nuisance claims. Remoteness of damage is often
