scale is for the production of pesticides. The crops being grown, like corn and soybeans, are monoculture which are typically more prone to insect infestation and therefore covered in energy-intensive pesticides. Most pesticides are derived from ethylene and propylene, which are obtained by catalytic cracking of crude petroleum oils, or from methane from natural gas. These crops are being grown in large part to continue the energy-inefficiency of our industrial food system. Energy on Earth is almost

Polymers are all around us, a fact that we cannot deny. Polymers are used by everyone of all ages. Man has used natural polymers throughout history, but it is only in the last 60 years that we have been able to make our own synthetic polymers. Polymers have been used vastly in many industrial applications until now. However, like any other organic compounds, polymer burn readily in presence of oxygen, and generally thermoplastics are worse than thermoset materials. The flammability of polymers can

People have been growing crops for thousands of years. Over time, as people developed and populated, more land was needed for crops. Then people realized that pests, such as insects, animals, and fungus, shortened their yield tremendously. Through science and research they were able to create formulas and methods of keeping pests away, allowing for a greater yield of crops. Pesticides not only have an effect on pests, but also humans. The effect is not physical like that of insects, but rather mental

pollute ground water, primarily, and is a concern because of the hazards of improper storage and the costs of protecting the stored munitions and the like from deterioration which could lead to pollution. The primary pollutants from the depot are ethylene glycol and hydrochloric acid (1995 and after, consisted of acid aerosols only). Grove Worldwide U.S. LLC: This company manufactures construction equipment and the pollutants associated with its activities are manganese and manganese compounds and

Apples in America Apples have been a popular food for thousands of years across many cultures in history, including the Greeks, Romans, and Celts. However, apples are not native to America. The Native Americans only had crabapples before European settlers brought apples as we know them today to America. The Native Americans quickly spread and cultivated the “new” apples throughout America (Association 2017). In today’s industrialized world, apple production has become a billion dollar industry.

Many noted scholars like A. P. Oppé reject the chasm as solely mythical. Others believe that the chasm originated from a seismic event that emitted COz – H2S rich gas, while others claim that it stems from two intersecting fault lines from which ethylene rich gasses are discharged. This theory is incredibly strong as Delphi lies directly on top of an active fault line---- see diagram

Introduction “This is a story about a world obsessed with stuff. It 's a story about a system in crisis. We are trashing the planet, we are trashing each other, and we 're not even having fun”. This quote by writer; Annie Leonard, in her video The Study of Water explains how companies such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi used manufactured demand to get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles a week (Leonard, 2010). In the late 1970s, giant soft drink companies such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Nestle

INVESTIGATION – Evidences that support animal testing Contributed to many life-saving treatments The major advantage of animal research is that it aids researchers discover drugs and treatments that will improve health. Throughout history, animal testing has played an important role in leading to new discoveries and human benefit. Louis Pasteur was one of the many scientists who have made positive contributions to the medical world using animal experimentation. He found out that when an old culture
