How do you calculate your carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint is a metaphorical representation of how much greenhouse gas a person produces in their life. This can include how much they recycle, or what type of light bulbs they use in their home.

The tree on Maungakiekie, also known as One Tree Hill, was cut down in 2000 due to repeated attacks and damage inflicted upon it by various individuals over the years. It was seen as a symbol of cultural and historical significance, and its removal was met with controversy and sadness.

Factors responsible for inflation?

Inflation can be caused by factors such as excess demand, cost-push inflation from rising production costs, excessive money supply growth, and external shocks such as oil price increases. These factors can lead to an increase in overall prices of goods and services in the economy.

How do you cut a large mirror down to size?

If you are familiar with a glass cutter, use that to resize the mirror. My best suggestion would be take it to a glass shop and let them do it. They can bevel the edges and its a whole lot safer.

How does photosynthesis affect global warming?

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates, and other biological compounds, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. This is the difference between plants and animals. The carbon dioxide is stored in the plants until they decompose or are burned. So, for example, each fall when the trees lose their leaves and the plants die the level of carbon in the atmosphere goes up. The rest of the tree, bark etc., does not continue to absorb carbon. Plants only take in carbon so long as they are growing and not after they have reached their natural height. Planting trees and other plants is one component of the solution to global warming, but the number of plants we have now cannot consume more carbon than they already do, and there is some evidence that warmer temperatures make photosynthesis more difficult.

How does recycling save trees?

Recycling is really good for the environment because you can reuse things like binder water bottles etc. Recycling saves the resources, it saves money, saves energy and, saves the trees. The material is really useful because recyclables are our daily needs in the world today. REDUCE, REUSE and, RECYCLE!

What factors were responsible for the growing wealth and prosperity in the seventeenth century?

In 17th century Europe, quite a few factors were responsible for a general trend of increased wealth and prosperity -- despite the wars and other social problems that afflicted various European nations at the time. For one thing, the Scientific Revolution spread a new spirit of innovation and discovery throughout Europe's intellectual centers. For another thing, King Louis XIV reigned in the continent's most powerful nation, France. For yet another, the rich metal-deposits of the Americas began to be systematically mined by Spain, in particular, which introduced vast amounts of material wealth into European coffers.

What is matter made up of?

The net matter of the universe is zero because energy cannot be made or destroyed.

The matter is made up of energy, and the energies of the universe cancel out each other because of their opposite directions. The total energy of an atom should be zero, this is why an unstable atom takes electron(s), so that it become stable (net energy=0).

What are the vegetations for a tropical rainforest?

Some common vegetation in a tropical rainforest includes dense tree canopies, epiphytes like orchids and bromeliads, lianas, ferns, and a variety of broadleaf plants. The forest layers range from emergents towering above the canopy to the understory plants struggling for sunlight on the forest floor. These diverse plant species contribute to the rainforest's high levels of biodiversity.

20 year old plum tree that is drying up and turning black no matter how much I water it what is wrong with this tree?

it may simply be old. remove it completely (roots included) and plant a new tree

or you could feterlize it with miricle grow, trim the branches and water vigrously for about a week before you take any dramstic measures

How do you produce strong magnetic repulsive force?

To produce a strong magnetic repulsive force, you can increase the strength of the magnets involved, increase the distance between the magnets to reduce the attractive force, or align the poles of the magnets so they repel each other. Using electromagnets with a high current and coil winding density can also generate a strong repulsive force.

What effects does coke have on people?

Cocaine: extreme stimulant, causing intense rush of energy and agitation; over time, it destroys the brain and -- if taken by snorting -- does massive damage to the nasal passages. It IS addictive, and addicts will do great harm to themselves and others (a) in withdrawal or (b) to avoid going through withdrawal. And (c) while high on coke again, and again, and... In fact, it's how a lot of great entertainers (like John Belushi) have died.

Coca-Cola: caffeine here is the stimulant (except in decaf); sugar is another (except in diet); still, it's just soda and it tastes good. And it's a lot better than lines of white powder up one's nose.

Remember those old public-service TV ads: "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?" Thought not; you're probably way too young. But they were well-known in the 1980s (which is probably when you were born, unless you're even younger!), and I think some of them can still be accessed via the Internet. Might be useful to Google 'Public Service Ads, War On Drugs' or somesuch. In fact, Google 'Cocaine' too. But don't use it. As for soda, Coke or Pepsi are okay, in moderation. But don't try using cocaine "in moderation," because drugs like that never work that way; that's why they're illegal.

As for the comment below: illegal drugs are worse than soft drinks. You wrote your whole answer in the font used for headers. And your spelling is so bad that the average coke-head or crack-smoker would seem like a Harvard grad by comparison. I find it difficult to believe you are literate enough to read the label on a soda bottle. As for street drugs, they don't come with labels, not that I'd know. I've actually never used them. As for the "health nut" vibe that loftily preaches that people who "use" soft drinks are just as bad as drug addicts, save it. I have reason to doubt you do much thinking, ever. On the issue(s) of morality and conscience, I have no comment.

As for the comment above: The "average coke-head" probably did go to Harvard. It's a party drug. You know, the kind of thing people try and become addicted to in college? It's not just stupid people who use drugs; people from all social classes and who have gone through all levels of education have made their mistakes. And when you say you've never used any sort of illegal drug, what makes you feel like you're qualified to comment on the effects of them?

effects o f any soft drinksit has an edicting effect, the more u drink the more u have problems in your teeths and stomach. its a medicine for killing toilet germs. it contains chemicals which are not good for the teeths and the stomach.it contains pestsides which are very harmfull to our human body. its good to avoid it.

What effects do typhoons have on people?

Typhoons can be devastating for humans, because they cause widespread destruction. In areas where mass media is not common, the people are often unaware of the storm until it is too late to evacuate.

How can you calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the burning of an object?

This can be done precisely under certain conditions, but in practice things aren't so simple. You need to know the exact chemical formula of the thing being burned (this can be difficult if you are burning wood, for instance, which is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds). You also have to assume that the combustion is complete -- in other words that all hydrocarbons are completely converted into carbon dioxide and water, which is not always the case in normal burning situations. The actual reactions that occur while burning something are very complicated in fact, but to a close approximation, you can figure out the amount of CO2 produced in the following way:

First, write the balance equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon. The reactants are the hydrocarbon itself and oxygen gas (O2). The products are carbon dioxide and water. See the Related Questions to the left for how to do this.

Then use stoichiometry to figure out for a certain amount of hydrocarbon burned how much CO2 you will produce. See the Related Questions links to the left for how to do this also.

See the Related Questions links to the left for detailed instructions on how to do each of these steps! Note that in both of the related questions, example problems have been worked out using the combustion of a hydrocarbon! Most of the work is done for you already! Just see the examples in the linked questions to the left.

How do humans affect biodiversity?

Humans usually affect the population of other animals badly. Most species decline in number, get sick, hunted and eventually die/go extinct (think of apes, deer, wolves). However, there are animals who profit from humans, like pets, farm animals, rats and gulls, but also cockroaches, ants and other insects. Most bacteria also do well under human influence.

Wild animals, who can't be domesticated, are not influenced for the good by humans. Although we 'try' to protect them, humans do on the whole more harm than good.

Ware did the most deaths take place In World War 2?

The most deaths in World War II took place on the Eastern Front, where the Soviet Union battled against Nazi Germany. The battles of Stalingrad and Leningrad were particularly deadly, resulting in millions of casualties.

What are harmful effects of micro organisms in a human?

microorganisms can be harmful and useful!

Yeast is a microorganism and is used in bread.

but some bacteria (microorganism) can be harmful, they can make you ill or kill you.

but in our imune system there are antibacteria fighting off disease and protecting us.

So microorganisms can be harmful and beneficial

How do you make sheets of paper look dated?

To make sheets of paper look dated, you can try staining the paper with tea or coffee to give it an aged appearance. You can also lightly crumple the paper and then flatten it out again to create creases and wrinkles that suggest wear and tear. Additionally, you can carefully burn the edges of the paper to give it a weathered look.

How might a growing population affect the supply of a renewable resource such as trees?

A growing population can increase the demand for wood products, leading to higher rates of deforestation and potentially depleting tree resources faster than they can replenish. Sustainable forest management practices are crucial to ensure a steady supply of trees for future generations.

How many trees are planted each year in the U.S.?

It is estimated that between 1.6 billion and 2.6 billion trees are planted in the U.S. each year through commercial forestry practices, reforestation efforts, and urban tree planting initiatives.

How many hectares of trees are cut down in the world every day?

Approximately 260,000 hectares of trees are cut down worldwide every day. This deforestation contributes to environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. Efforts to promote sustainable forestry practices are important in combating deforestation.

What is the green contract?

if you watch the movie 'the secret of life on earth' it will tell you ; the green contract is basically the food chain and how all life begins with plants and everything relies on plants; how plants and animals interact with each other

What country has the highest literacy rate?

The country with the highest literacy rate is Georgia with 100%.

That is an estimate. Other sources cite Canada (99%) and Cuba, Estonia and Poland at 99.8% I believe they're all estimates, though.

Armenia has the highest literacy rate. The ratio is higher when its population is compared to the rest of the world.

How can it be higher than 100%? (Not that I believe the 100% either) Any credible sources or sites for these numbers? It's been a long time since I've looked into it.
