What is a carbon footprint-?
Carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc.(The amount of greenhouse gas released by an organism.)The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse gases we individually produce and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.Carbon footprints:A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide that one person or one activity creates. It is suggested as a measure of how much damage on the environment that something has. The carbon footprint for a bottle of water would add up the negative environmental impact of manufacturing plastic bottles and truck emissions for delivering the water. Your house would have a carbon footprint. Some activities have an indirect carbon footprint by removing "carbon sinks", i.e. removing things that would remove carbon dioxide. The most obvious ones are the massive deforestation going on in many tropical areas through slash-and-burn agriculture, mining, etc.Reducing carbon footprints: You could lower the carbon footprint of your house by doing things like using CFL lighting and energy efficient appliances, and adding insulation. There are websites that help you determine carbon footprints. It is also possible to reduce net carbon footprint by adding plants which absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen to the atmosphere.
What are the negative effects of geothermal energy on the environment?
It is not the energy that will be dissipated out into the environment is doing the worst damage, it is taking out of the geothermal energy from the Earth that do. Geothermal energy keeps the Earth alive.
Will doing a burnout on your cat damage it?
Domestic cats are not able to do burnouts as such; they are animals and do not have tires. Doing a burnout on any vehicle will do some damage, as it was not typically designed for that sort of treatment, and will certainly shorten the life of some (possibly very expensive) tires. Whether doing a burnout on a specific model of Cat would cause damage would depend on the model.
Why should we not do reseach on animals?
There is no harm doing it, so there's no reason not to.
How will recycling reduce the carbon footprint?
Recycling allows for materials to be used again or used as energy instead of fuels or electricity. By doing so, this reduces the amount of waste going into a landfill and also allows for energy conservation and resources conservation as the recycled products can be used again.
What does it mean to have a big ecological footprint?
If someone has a big ecological footprint, it means that they are doing many unhealthy things to the environment. Such as wasting things like electricity, gasoline, and heat. A person with a small ecological footprint usually uses things like electricity, gasoline, and heat responsibly, or they probably own something that helps reduce the waste of these things.
How can the earth reduce its carbon footprint?
by simply not flying there apparently the UK governmental scheme of "turn your heating down by 1 degree for a year" would actually save much much less carbon than you would burn by taking ONE extra short flight (say intracontinental) public transport is actually carbon neutral for most folk, in that the train or bus would normally run regardless, so if you're on it or not makes no difference to THAT carbon but it would mean you wouldn't need to add any more.
Is carbon fiber tubing a conductor?
try doing it :)
What does going green really mean?
It means doing the job while using less energy or the minimum amount of energy possible. This is also referred to as reducing your 'carbon footprint'. It is one of the primary steps of the task of eliminating the need for middle east oil. Once we are free from importing their oil, there will be no need to fight wars there.
What are the diffent ways that animals learn?
animals can learn by doing or seeing
How are humans dependent on animals and plants?
Plants and animals both feed humans. Plants give us oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide so can breath. Animals help us do jobs and/or create jobs. For example: police dogs help the police by doing what humans can't; my grandfather is a farmer but he only has cows, so without them he wouldn't have a job.
Can doing drugs damage brain?
Yes it can. High amount of any drugs can cause permanent damage to your brain.
