Global warming has taken a significant toll on the environment and heath of human and animals. The use of non-renewable fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, crude oil, tar sands and oil shales are finite resources on the planet and will one day run out because they are regularly used. Subsequent pressure and heating while being buried consisting of organic matter and dead plant over millions of years are what created these fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels form greenhouse gases from carbon dioxide

“As a source of energy, nothing matches the sun…. Only a small fraction of the sun’s power output strikes the Earth, but even that provides 10,000 times as much as all the commercial energy that humans use on the planet” ("Make Solar Energy Economical"). This is good evidence that investing in solar energy can be valuable because not only is it clean and renewable, but it is also plentiful. This makes solar energy better option then the use of fossil fuel, however there are a couple of challenges

All the carbon released into our atmosphere contributes to the rise of greenhouse gases. The carbon from costal ecosystems is referred to as Blue Carbon. Most of the carbon on Earth is cycled through the ocean and coastal areas. These wet environments help to contain carbon and slow the increase of green house gasses in our atmosphere. Coastal ecosystems like mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrass meadows slow down the greenhouse gases from increasing by absorbing and containing them. These area’s

Abstract The use of alternative energy sources is becoming more and more of an issue as time goes on. Fossil fills are our essential wellsprings of energy, and these are exhausting at an extraordinary rate, with populaces and advancement expanding as far and wide as possible, making an unquenchable yearn for them. A few researchers believe in the idea that if fossil powers keep on being devoured at the rate they will be, they will be for all intents and purpose depleted when this century closes

The Industrial Age isn’t ending because of a decline in opportunities

Chapter 9 on biodiversity and the ecosystem was interesting, especially the section on forests. Living in a forest area and being surrounded by them my entire life it was really interesting to learn so much more about forests. Even when humans think they are being responsible, they can still cause great harm. The building of roads to farm trees for instance, can cause damage to a forest because it increases erosion, water runoff, and it can harm the diversity of an ecosystem (Miller & Spoolman, 2010)

Alternate Energy Automobiles “Of the world’s approximately 650,000,000 motor vehicles, fewer than 1,500,000 are not powered by either gasoline or diesel.” (Bradley 24). This minority of the vehicular population equates to a mere two thousandths of a percent of alternately powered vehicles. Nearly all of these alternately powered vehicles are powered by liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The time to change that for the better is here and we must push our way through the red tape

Introduction to Lean manufacturing: Principles of lean thinking have been broadly accepted by many manufacturing operations and have been applied successfully across many. Different authors define it distinctively. Lean manufacturing is most frequently associated with the elimination of seven important wastes to ameliorate the effects of variability in supply, processing time or demand defined it as a philosophy of manufacturing that focuses on delivering the highest quality product on time and
