1 ENG417 Environmental Awareness and Sustainability Project 1 Energy or Food - Coal Seam Gas or Farming Name: Abdullah-AL Junayed Chowdhury S186646 2 1. Introduction As the world’s population is increasing, the demand of the energy usage is also increasing and the direct solution is to find and implement newer energy sources. As a consequence, sometimes farming lands are exploited Mining companies are investigating and discovering different types of energy sources to meet the energy demand. One option

But of that seventy one percent, ninety

We delude ourselves into thinking that we live in the ideal society, that property ownership via capitalism is the best socio-economic system that we have available. This system of having businesses owned by private individuals places profit as society’s central motivator. Profit being the primary incentive has proven, especially within recent times, to elicit detrimental consequences. Environmental viability takes a back seat to capital gain. Examples of ecological negligence are ubiquitous throughout

A fossil-fuel power station is a type of power station that burns fossil fuels such as coal,natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity. Central station fossil-fuel power plants are designed on a large scale for continuous operation. In many countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used. Fossil fuel power stations have rotating machinery to convert the heat energy of combustioninto mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator. The prime mover may be

Al Gore famously stated on the threat of climate change “The good news is, we have everything we need now to respond to the challenge of global warming. . . . But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.” In the early 2000s, the international community was uncertain on how best to address climate change and ensure the world’s increasing development was sustainable. In 2008, the World Bank launched the “Strategic Framework for Development and Climate change” to jump-start public and
