What plants do the yanomami tribe use?

tom r

^ ermm okaay...?

For food, the Yanomami eat most of what the jungle can offer, which is quite a wide variety of foods. They feast on all kinds off edible fare ranging from snakes, wild pigs, monkeys, deer, and jaguars to varieties of insects, larvae, fish, crabs, wild honey, plantain, sweet potato, and palm fruits. By world health standards, the Yanomami enjoy a high standard of living. Nevertheless the voracity of the Yanomami's hunting practices has in the past been highly exaggerated, taking into account that upwards of eighty to ninety percent of the food eaten by the Yanomami tribes is from their gardens. Of course the Yanomami have to hunt to survive but they are equally - if not more - committed to the cultivation of their gardens. It has been debated that the Yanomami actually lack protein in their diet because they eat so much more fruit and vegetables than meat produce. :)

Low protein in vegans is not a problem, there's plenty of protein in vegetables and fruit. The USDA RDA for protein is 50g/day where as the average vegan gets about 70 gm of protein per day. In actuality, only about 20g/day of protein is needed to maintain good health.

What are examples of biodegradable items?

Some examples of biodegradable include paper, cotton rag, banana peels and many more. These are products that are broken down by micro-organisms found in nature which means they do not harm the environment.

What is eco friendly industrialization?

its close 2 impossible to achieve 100% eco-friendly industrialization in most industries because electricity is mostly produced by burning fuel , and electricity is an essential part in most modern industries. But there are ways to be as eco-friendly as possible :

1. solar panels for electricity.

2. use papers made from hemp.

3. use only natural chemicals.

4. try to minimize , clean and find a second usage for industrial wastes.

recycle , reuse and reduce. The simpler the chemicals and processes are , its most probably safer .

Why is water scarcity a problem around the world?

Water scarcity is a problem around the world because only two percent of water on earth is fresh water. Also more of that water is being polluted.

Why do people not go green?

some people feel it is a thing that a good citizen would do, but alot of people do it for the community. when people " go green" it means they are making a choice to stop polluting and start helping. People will recycle, clean up and make a cycle of doing these things. People who are going green use recycled materials, plant trees and plants, help clean water and the side of the roads, and help make things out of recycled objects. Schools have bought recycle bins and wentzville middle school and others have used recycling can bins at lunch. All the kids will also recycle soda tabs and help the community. The schools have been doing a cycle on taking recycleables and been dumping them in bigger bins and taking them to a recycle yard. Green homes have been a hudge thing between people. The green homes intend to have solar panels, no electric use, recycled material, and earth friendly furniture materials.

Some green homes are very big and have solar panel covered controled pools.

I hope you enjoyed this information and use it wisley. no pladerisim its illegal!

What are the Advantages of eco-friendly transport?

Eco-Friendly products use less harmful chemicals and typically use less plastic.

Are cloth bags biodegradable?

Yes, glassine bags are biodegradable. Glassine is manufactured by a process called calendering. After pulping and drying sheets are passed through rollers so that the paper fibers are flattened out and facing in the same direction. To maximize the smoothness and thinness of the paper the glassine goes through this process several times. Since glassine is made of only paper it is biodegadable.

How is rainfall formed?

Water vapor (that has evaporated) condenses into cloud droplets in the cooler atmosphere. Many of these droplets form clouds. When enough water molecules with the clouds form together, they become too heavy for the upward flowing air to keep them in the cloud. The droplets then fall back down to earth as precipitation, rain being the most common form.

What kind of problems does the Mojave Desert have?

What are the different methods of irrigation?

natural irrigation

1 flooding

2 rainfall

traditional method

1 moat (pulley system)

2 rah-at (lever system)

3 chain pump &

4 dekhli

modern method

1 sprinkler system

2 drip system
Following are the types of irrigation:

1. Surface irrigation

2. Localized irrigation

2.1 Drip or trickle irrigation

3. Sprinkler irrigation

3.1 Center pivot irrigation

3.2 Lateral move (side roll, wheel line) irrigation

4. Sub-irrigation

5. Manual irrigation using buckets or watering cans
While cultivation the water is transferred to all plants or soil and the technique used is called irrigation.

The types of irrigation are:-

1. SURFACE IRRIGATION

In this water is spread over whole land or surface.

2. Free Flooding

This flooding system of irrigation is used from ancient times. Flooding method consists in applying the water by flooding the land of rather smooth and flat topography. In current irrigation practice, several flooding methods have been developed. In free flooding method, water is applied to the land from field ditches without any check or guidance to the flow. The land is divided into plots or kiaries of suitable size depending on porosity of soil. Water is spread over the field from watercourse. The irrigation operation begins at the higher area and proceeds towards the lower levels. The flow is stopped when the lower end of the field has received the desired depth of water. The field watercourse is properly spaced, the spacing depends on the topography, oil texture, depth of soil and size of stream.

3. Border Strip Method

4. Well and Tube Well Irrigation

Well and tube well's water used for irrigation

5. Canal Irrigation

Canals are most important source of irrigation from the period of 1960s, but in the 1970s, they yielded first place to wells and tube wells and now constitute the second most important source of irrigation in India. Canals are most effective techniques of irrigation in areas of low level relief, deep fertile soils, perennial source of water and extensive command area. Therefore, the main concentration of canal irrigation is in the northern plain of India, especially the areas comprising Uttar Pradesh Haryana and Punjab.

6. Tank Irrigation

A tank act as an irrigation storage system which is developed by constructing a small bund of earth or stones built across a stream. The water impounded by the bund is used for irrigation and for other purposes. Some tanks are built partly as dugouts and partly by enclosing bunds. Tanks are of varying size but most of the tanks are of small size and are built by individual farmers or groups of farmers. Tank irrigation is more suitable in the peninsular plateau area such as Andhra Pradesh (Including Telangana) and Tamil Nadu.

7. Drip irrigation

In this tubes are set up in grounds through which water is transferred. It is also called trickle irrigation.

8. Sprinkler Irrigation

In the sprinkler technique of irrigation, water is sprinkled into the air and allowed to fall on the ground surface just like rainfall. The spray is done by the flow of water under pressure through small orifices or nozzles. The pressure is generally obtained by pumping. Through proper selection of nozzle sizes, operating pressure and sprinkler spacing the amount of irrigation water required to refill the crop root zone can be applied almost uniform at the rate to suit the infiltration rate of soil. In agriculture, almost all crops are suitable for sprinkler irrigation system except crops such as paddy and jute.

Answer:

"Vehicular Pollution" would include:

  • air emissions such as photochemical smog precursors like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons, carbon dioxode, aromatic hydrocarbon emissions, particulates
  • liquid emissions like lost fuel, lubricants and coolants

It generally is not taken to include the emissions and wasted associated with the production and disposal of the vehicles themselves and the fuels used in them.

Vehicular pollution causes local effects such as urban air quality and global problems such as climate change. The reduction of vehicle emissions is primarily related to the amount of fuel used and can be reduced by the reduction of that consumption.

Where is solar power mostly used?

Solar panels are generally used anywhere in the world. Of course, they are virtually pointless in areas of the world that have little or no sunshine. Many people are now turning to solar panels in areas of the world such as the USA and Great Britain. They are a clean, green way for powering homes and many other places with electricity so it isn't really that suprising.

If you would like to know exactly where solar panels are used...then people install them on their home roofs for electricity, next to train lines for train signals, on outdoor solar lights for lovely lighting outside, in football and sports stadiums for lighting and powering the scoreboards...virtually anywhere!!

Is copper renewable non renewable or flow resource?
