What impact do solar panels have on society?
They allow power to be obtained in many otherwise hard to reach places. My home is solar and wind powered due to the remote location and frequency we end up "off grid". They have allowed cell phone communications, satellites and many military applications to be workable.
What is the definition of carbon footprint?
the carbon foot print shows how much co2 was released when the food was traveling around the world.
What is the carbon footprint of meat and other foods?
The amount of energy that goes into raising, transporting, and marketing red meat is far greater than for most other foods. For one thing, corn (maize), which is fed to animals has a large carbon footprint itself because of the intensive agriculture involved, including both fuel and fertilizer. In addition, cattle, and to some extent other ungulates, produce large amounts of methane gas from their digestive processes. Methane is 37 times as powerful, as a greenhouse gas, as CO2. In other words, cows belch a lot, and their belch is powerful, in addition to being resonant.
What is the enviromental impact of natural gas when it is used as an energy source?
The environmental impact of natural gas will depend on the method of extraction, transportation to the point of use, and how it is used. For example, conventional extraction has less environmental impact than high volume slick water fracturing with long laterals, as is currently being used to extract shale gas. Extraction impacts are relatively local. The impacts of transport by truck are clearly different than transport by pipe, but it's hard to say which is less. One of the biggest environmental impacts of natural gas comes from incidental and accidental leakage during extraction and transportation. This may nearly double the carbon footprint of natural gas, eliminating most or all of its advantage over coal. This impact is global in scale as it adds to climate change.
Example of carbon moving from organic compound to inorganic compound?
Glucose being turned into carbon dioxide during photosynthisis.
What is the environmental impact of Emma Stewart?
She has a carbon footprint, that's it. She's a human being, LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!
Why does being a vegetarian have little influence on your carbon footprint?
Actually it has a large influence on your carbon footprint."...if Americans were to reduce meat consumption by just 20 percent it would be as if we all switched from a standard sedan - a Camry, say - to the ultra-efficient Prius."http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/weekinreview/27bittman.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=science

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT. Go Huskies!
Why does red meat increase your carbon footprint so much while being a vegetarian has little influence on your cabon footprint?
It takes tremendously more vegetable food to feed the animals that people then eat, then it would take to feed people vegetables rather than meat. It is also true that the digestive process of ungulates such as cows tends to release a lot of methane into the atmosphere.

How does the amount of trees being cut down every year affect our carbon footprint?
Carbon footprint is usually used to refer to a single person (me), or a thing (this apple), or a family or household. It means the amount of carbon dioxide (or equivalent) released into the atmosphere by the activities, or existence of a peron, thing, or group.However, the amount of trees cut down every year affects the carbon footprint of the whole world. Trees (and all growing vegetation) remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The oxygen is released and the carbon is stored in the wood of the trees.So when we cut down a tree we increaseour carbon footprint.
What is the point of being vegetarian?
There are many who believe being vegetarian is healthier than eating meats.
Is being a vegetarian cool?
I'm a vegetarian, and to me it's very cool.
Is being a vegetarian weird?
No.
What benefit is low carbon sugar Is it helpful in the management of diabetes?
Low carbon sugar has no benefits in the management of diabetes as it is exactly the same as normal sugar. The "low carbon" bit comes from the sugar mills processing of the cane being more efficient energy wise, so the carbon footprint of the sugar is lower. HTH
What should an average 11 year old veagterian weigh?
being vegetarian should have not impact on weight if you are eating properly, however vegetarians, especially children must be careful to eat properly to malnutrition. If you want to live vegetarian/vegan lifestyle please read this Harvard vegetarian/vegan nutrition guide. http://huhs.harvard.edu/Resources/HealthInformationByTopic/Nutrition/Vegetarian/VeganNutrition.aspx == ==
