plant to best grow. Some common fertilizers are manure—animal droppings used enrich the land, compost—decayed organic material, or synthetic fertilizers. This being said, as in all things agricultural, there is controversy as to what should be put into food sources due to the possible dangers. Manure being the product of animal waste can create tension in its use and can therefore raise the question as to what is the agricultural benefit in the use of manure and how does it aid plant production and growth

fossil fuels that we are burning are weakening the ozone layer. Even so, there is a solution in our home state of Tennessee, and it lies in the waste of cows. Using cow manure as a fuel is a stable and almost everlasting reusable resource. As long as the cows are producing waste, we’re in business. In order to convert the cow manure into energy we would need an anaerobic digester. An anaerobic digester gets its name from the anaerobic microorganisms that thrive in its oxygen free tank. In fact, this

Dog waste is composed of water, fecal bacteria, nitrogen, phosphorus, and possibly worms. Animal waste, such as cow manure, is very commonly used as fertilizer. This fact would usually cause a person to assume that this meant dog waste would be good for the lawn. But the fact is that dog waste does not have the positive fertilizer effect on plants that most people would think. The waste in large amounts eventually produces the opposite of the intended effect, and it kills the grass. Fertilizer is

In this first articles explains how a farmer from a large dairy farm that is called Brookside Dairy in Indiana County is adopting new technology that will save money and help the environment by managing manure from 550 dairy cows. The Brookside Dairy farm has been owned by the George family since 1781owning about 1,200 acres and with that much land the bills were high and with 550 cattle they had about 10,000 gallons of waste to spar. In the article Mr. George said"economics, odor control and the

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, water pollution, habitat destruction, and other issues (How Eating, 2014). How could this still be happening? This is because about 94% of the US population are meat eaters and the industry does not tell you what happens behind their closed factory doors: the industry is the leading cause in both resource consumption and global warming, their meat can cause diseases that can be prevented, and the industry abuses their animals. Converting

story. Sarty even happily exclaims that he was named after his father’s General in the war. Abner is truly a rebel with a cause. He seems to think of himself as a victim of the class war. This seems to be the case when he purposefully tracks horse manure on a rug bought from France for $100 by the de Spain’s, which he is eventually forced to fix, but causes further damages to it. This causes the de Spain’s to become infuriated, which appears to be what Abner was hoping would be the result of his action

Water is a very important resource, every life depends on fresh water to survive. There are three per cent of fresh water of the world’s water and all life on earth can only depends on half of it. Water has become a very fragile resources because, people have damaged the water bodies badly from the use of chemicals, irrigation to household. Consequently, these reasons have severely affected the water, the environment and many lives on earth. Industrial wastes link to a significant cause of damaging
