Cut-and-Chip Test Ohio Northern University May, 2016 – July, 2016 Background: Cut-and-chip is a phenomena in tires that manifests itself primarily from prolonged off-road use. As the tires are used off-road, the tread compound will be cut by rocks and eventually large pieces of the tread rubber are chipped off. Current tests involve manufacturing a series of test tires and sending them to a test track in Texas. The tires are then run on a controlled gravel road. Each set of tires is run for 1000

With advances in technology and production driven by consumer demand, the importance of environmental education and sustainability has become increasingly significant. This has led large corporations and smaller businesses to get involved with ethical branding and cause-related marketing, to encourage consumers to not only buy their product, but also give the impression that they are demonstrating their ethical values by doing so (Hawkins, 2014). The problem with this marketing approach is that

Volunteering has improved my life by gradually making a difference in my perspective of service learning. Bringing vision to my eyes, the ability to assist others in need is a feeling only describable if, and only if, you have experienced it yourself. Opening new doors in this journey of life, only can ecological service learning provides you with the keys to getting connected with the communities. Before, I stood as an individual who considered that I was not able to do anything on my own. I pointed

grocery stores where the majority of products sold are liquids wrapped in plastic. The top sold item in supermarkets today is water. Many people believe that drinking bottled water in grocery stores is safer than drinking tap water, and as a result, plastic is damaging our animal life and oceans. These plastic bottles are often stored in open face refrigerators, freezers and non refrigerated aisles. Unfortunately plastic, after manufactured with coal, is simply used once then thrown away. It is

biodegradable plastics compared to traditional plastics like nylon. In particular look at the disposal of both types of particles and explain how difficult or easy it is for these plastics to enter the Earth’s Carbon-cycle Biodegradable plastics are made from materials that are fully biodegradable. This means when you recycle these plastics it takes less energy and they break down much faster. They can be reused much more efficiency, which gives them a much more clear advantage. Biodegradable plastics are

advantage enjoyed by metal parts is highly dependent on the volume of parts produced. To confirm their suspicions, management would like you to compare the break-even volume for one of its products, the 3-hole punch, when fabricated from metal versus plastic. What decision can be made based on the individual break-even points of each process? Metal Drawing Process

Silence Gliding through the water, so gracefully. Happy as can be with no care in the world. The water so calm and serene with all the different hues of blue, reflecting the bright blue sky. Near the shore it was pale blue, nearly translucent, and as its depth became eternal it changed from pale blue to a deep sapphire. The trees on the far side of the lake were mirrored within, the leaves fraught with color; and as the lake rippled, they seemed to dance with a passion all their own. Until

cleanly, and not defecate where they ate. This lowered the chances of contracting viruses that would be potentially harmful to their lives; or having predators visiting their food scraps and stumbling upon an even bigger meal. We first started seeing plastics and man-made materials that wouldn’t biodegrade in our lifetimes around the beginning of the 20th century (Harden). These synthetic materials were relatively cheap to produce and would act as very useful instruments to package perishable goods and

Jenna (Sea/Land Animals) It is known today that 60% of the plastics being dumped into bodies of water get ingested by animals in the oceans (Center for Biological Diversity, http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/ocean_plastics/). Humans use plastics everyday, but what we don’t realize is that after recycling our bottles, they end up being dumped into our oceans where ocean life mistakes a plastic bag for a jelly fish. Today plastics can be one of the main causes of intestinal blockage which

J 'Nae Wong Professor Finck English 1102 - A12 March 10, 2017 Project: Making of Eco-friendly Flowers through Recycling of Disposable Plastic Cups Essay In line with the current trends of climate change, there is great need to protect the environment we live in. Some of the actions we take towards environmental protection may have a plan to safeguard the environment whereas others might do so automatically even if our intentions were to achieve something else. What does this mean? The answer is
