New Zealand legislation on Ozone Layer Protection

In 1996 the New Zealand Legislation was enriched by a special law aimed to reduce the ozone layer pollution and to decrease the carbon emissions in the air. The country had a contraversial position on the law before issuing it since the protective measures described by the new piece of legislation introduced a more strict approach to handling machineries, conducting the industrial process and the production. These laws even reach out to the consumption of fossil fuels in camper vans More

Geothermal energy is where pipes or tubes are buried deep below the ground. More

Global Warming - What Is Being Done About It

There is great debate on whether or not man is helping the warmer climate change that is currently affecting the world. Some politicians say it is nothing but a scare tactic to move to more eco-friendly methods of energy (as oppose to the normal red diesel and fossil fuels). Others claim it is a real problem, one that we attribute to each day with the strategies we use to live on the planet. Regardless of the amount of impact we More

The Arctic Ozone Layer Hole and its recent consequences

The Earth’s ocean is one of the purifiers of the atmospheric air. The waters of the Southern Ocean surrounding Antactica are a major sink for carbon emissions cleaning up more than 40% of the overall oceanic uptake of green house gases. However, the ozone layer hole above these are is singnificantly and constantly growing larger and recently scientists at a pressconference in Paris have discussed a quite negaive sceinario.

According to some of the biochemists at the conference, the ozone More

The cement industry decreases its carbon footprint

The WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) has released figures with show that the world’s leading cement companies have managed to cut their CO2 emissions by as much as 14.3 percent between 1990 and 2008 and 3.8 percent between 2005 and 2008 with the help of Energy savings companies. Total CO2 emissions in absolute terms fell to 19 million tonnes from 2007 to 2008, to a figure of 577 million tonnes. The WBCSD attributes this reduction to a More

Carbon footprint of Coventry City Council is one of the worst in England, report suggests

It has been discovered that Coventry City Council’s carbon footprint index is one of the worst in England and the United Kingdom, according to new figures released by the government’s Department for Energy and Climate Change. The league table assesses areas such as lighting, transport, buildings and other council services for their level of carbon emissions.

The council has criticised the findings, pointing to other figures from 2008-2009 which showed that Coventry was placed at the bottom fifth of all More

The BedZED Project

With the icreasing climate awareness and the impact of carbon dioxyde studies, the architect Bill Dunster created a project of an environmentally-friendly populated area -the project includes 99 homes and almost 1500 square metres of working space situated near Hackbridge Station in London, United Kingdom. Populated with ordinary and working-class people, the project was aimed to explore the opportunity of decreasing the impact of the atmosphere pollution by the use of fossil fuels and coal in the production of energy.

Carbon Emissions and Car Transport

Since the industrial revolution cars have become the ultimate advantage for the working class of each society. Providing comfortable, self-esteemed and relatively fast transportation, automobiles are the necessity of every family and the main need for each business. However, the consequences they bear for our climate are far than negative -by the work of the fuel fed engines, the air gets more and more polluted with the increase of the car transportation rates thus providin circumstances for the development of More

Factory Production and The climate Change

The production rates the world maintains are constantly increasing due to the massive and growing consumption from the people worldwide. This is being quite often overlooked because the main priority of private and state factories is to produce as much as they possibly can with the idea of expanding the business and thus working for more income and money. That has been the situation in the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century despite the warnings producers have received More
