What is the difference between renewable energy and non renewable sources of energy?
renewable source of energy can be regenerated but non-renewable source of energy can not be regenerated.
What are renewable resources and nonrenewable resources in the rainforest?
The animals are, because their bones can be planted into the ground, and from them new baby animals will be born. Water is also a renewable resource, because if you put water into a tree trunk, it will multiply, creating more water which we can drink. There are so many possibilities!
What are 3 renewable energy resources and 3 non renewable energy resources?
Three renewable resources of energy are:
- solar energy,
- hydro energy, and
- wind energy.
Three non-renewable sources are Fossil fuels:
- Coal
- Oil
- Natural gas.
What do farmers do to reduce the use of pesticides?
Since pesticides are costly to apply needlessly, effective farm managers will "scout" their fields looking for pests which are causing economic damage to the crop. Until the numbers of any given pest are high enough to justify the expense, having crossed the "economic threshold", the farmer won't apply any pesticide. Most farmers also try to manage their crops in such a way that the pest will be suppressed through natural means, such as crop rotation or crop residue management. In the US, farmers also have genetically-modified crops at their disposal, which can help reduce the need for other pesticidal methods.

What is being done to help fight global warming?
- Some people are doing their part to help stop global warming. For instance, some stores are selling environmentally friendly shopping bags to help reduce plastic bag waste. Some places are building windmills for energy and electricity instead of building factories that burn fossil fuels which emits carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. There are many simple and easy ways to fight global warming in one's home. For example, people recycle, reuse, and reduce paper, plastic, cardboard and tin. Some take showers instead of baths and only take the shower for less than 5 minutes. They turn off lights during the day and when they leave the room, and don't leave the televison on standby.
- raising awareness
- certain CFCs have been banned to protect the ozone layer
Can chapter 13 be filed after chapter 7 is dismissed to save your home?
Yes, but you need to find out if there is a 180 day filing bar. (Yes automatically if there was a Motion for Relief from Stay).
If the case was dismissed without the filing bar and without prejudice, then you can refile immediately.
soda, though it may not be considered a resource by some, is certainly renewable, the liquid is goes back in the environment and the sugars come from renewable plants. The CO2, is released into the environment. The can is not renewable, but it is recyclable
Why do some places suffer water shortages?
Water shortages can be caused by overuse of the available water resources. it can also be caused by drought or a shortage of rainfall. Diversion of water sources to other areas can also cause shortages.

What is the average water use monthly per American person?
It varies by where you live. Americans are usually seen as the biggest per capita water users in the world. Average daily water use in USA is 50 to 100 gallons per person per day, showers, hand washing, dishes, toilets, laundry ect. Equals about 2,000 - 3,000 gallons a month.

Three things you can do to reduce the amount of trash?
1. Reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.
First register with the Direct Mail Association Mail Preference Service (For people in US). dmachoice.org/
This will stop up to 70% of junk mail but companies check this list on a voluntary basis so it will not stop all junk mail.
Opt out of credit card company and insurance company junk mail.
Stop receiving a local newspaper.
You can find a contact phone number at the bottom of the plastic bag that the local paper comes in. Call that phone number and ask to be placed on a do not mail list.
Switch to using internet banking and internet accounts to pay utility bills. Opt for paperless billing so bills are emailed to you instead of being sent through the mail.
2. Compost your food waste.
If you have a garden buy a composter and start composting your food waste (not meat or dairy though).
3. Switch to filtering water at home and using reusable water bottles instead of buying bottled water.
You'll also save a lot of money if you do this.
4. Try to buy goods that are packaged in recyclable materials instead of packaging that you cannot recycle.
What will happen in the future if current trends continue for global warming?
There are multiple models as to the projected effects of global climate change assuming current carbon emissions are not reduced.
- One of the most catastrophic outcomes will be rising sea levels due to glacier, Greenland and Antarctic ice melts. This has the potential to radically alter population dense coastlines and even eliminate entire coastal/island nations.
- Discrete changes in temperature over the long run may also contribute to and cause mass extinction events of millions of species.
- Other effects include acceleration in losses of arable lands and further pressure on irrigation and water supplies.
What can you do to be environmentally friendly?
Some options are:
- Take public transportation, bike, or walk as much as possible
- Carpool to school, work or play
- Change your light bulbs to the energy efficient ones
- Turn your thermostat down to about 68F Turn lights off when not in a room
- Open windows to let natural light in rather than artificial light
- Shutdown your computer when not in use, putting it on sleep still uses energy as it is on stand by
- Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season, or even produced in your country/state/province Take showers not baths, as baths require more water, in addition take only 5-10 minute showers
- Pack lunches in re-usable containers, do not use plastic bags or plastic utensils
- If you are up to it become a vegetarian
These options all have to be evaluated against your local conditions. For example, being a vegetarian in Nunavut where veggies have to be shipped in for thousands of miles is not as eco-friendly as eating the local animal foods.
Why does turning lights off reduce your carbon footprint?
I think it reduces your carbon footprint by saving electricity
How do people harvest forest resources in an environmentally friendly way?
To harvest resources in the forest in an environmentally friendly way, you must re-plant a tree for everyone destroyed and also make sure to keep a plan which allows there to always be fully grown trees within your harvest area. Also, make sure the harvesters don't damage other trees in the process and also make sure the harvesting equipment doesn't 1) damage the environment 2) pollute any more then necessary (this includes noise pollution). In the end, harvesting forest resources isn't friendly to the environment, but these are ways to come as close as possible. Answer: It is necessary to study the area to be harvested to: * determine if ant endanged plant or wnimal species exist * to identify microecologies * to allow replanting of similar species Opportunities for harvesting that leaves strips of native growth to allow the native species to fill in the cut spaces should be reviewed.
The establishment of tree farms should be considered
Why is it important to be an eco friendly school?
There are so many schools in this world, and each one uses a lot of energy and produces a lot of waste. Even if every school just did one small thing, it would add up to a lot. Pretty much every school has many classrooms that use lights. By using energy-efficient light bulbs or technology for computers or shutting off lights when rooms are not used or when the lights are not needed could save tons of electricity. Being water-conscious is important, too. So many children bring bottles or cans of drinks to school for lunch. Recycling even 1/2 of those could add up to so much waste saved. Not only is this good for the environment, it also provides a healthier space for the children and teachers to work and learn in. It can also save the school a lot of money in reduced energy costs and reduced waste costs.
How much water in liters do you use when washing your hair?
It's about 9 litres of water in the shower per minuter. So it depends on how long it takes for someone to wash their hair.
What do scarecrows do for their job?
Scarecrows are for scaring predators away from farm crops and garden edibles. They're supposed to give the impression of 24-7 monitoring of a cultivated area. Additionally, they add an attractively traditional look to an environmentally friendly way of protecting plants without resorting to sprays and traps.
Tree conservation is a tough practice. Disease and insects become problems in all trees naturally. Extermination becomes impossible because diseases spread by many different means and setting up quarentines becomes very tough. Without trapping a disease in a bubble quarantines dont work. Plus our natural damage with polution makes for harmful environments that dont occur naturally.
Where should you put a compost bin?
A location that is conducive to controlled moisture and partial sunlight, comfortable for safe monitoring and viewing, and convenient for use is where a compost bin should be put.
Specifically, a compost bin has to be in partial sunlight and near water sources -- such as garden hoses -- in order to comply with internal air, heat and moisture levels. It must be located in a place where it will not offend its operators or visitors with occasionally unattractive odors and sights. It needs to comply with its operators requirements for safe access and sure protection from inquisitive birds and mammals.
Do different types of water affect plant growth?
All plants have an optimum medium PH (soil or non-soil) which will allow the maximum uptake of nutrients, when the PH is in the right range a plant will grow vigorously as all its needs are met, conversely a plant receiving water that is too acid or too alkaline (below 5.0 acid and above 8.0 alkaline) cannot absorb nutrient and all micro and macro elements will be 'locked out' resulting in poor,slow growth and eventual death. Houseplants survive poor treatment because most composts are naturally 6.8 to 7.0 around the same PH as most domestic water. Hard water areas around 7.5, soft water around 6.5 all within the ideal uptake range for most plants.
In addition, for example, take the bamboo plant you should give it filtered water instead of tap water. This is because there are some chemicals in tap water that are harmful to the bamboo plant. ther
