Wind Energy 3. Geothermal Energy: Solar Power Harvests The Energy of The Sun Through Using Collector Panels
Wind Energy 3. Geothermal Energy: Solar Power Harvests The Energy of The Sun Through Using Collector Panels
////////////////////////////
1. Solar Energy Solar power harvests the energy of the sun through using collector
panels
2. Wind Energy Wind power is becoming more and more common
3. Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy is the energy that is produced
from beneath the earth.
4. Hydrogen Energy hydrogen is available with water(H2O) and is most
common element available on earth.
5. Tidal Energy Tidal energy uses rise and fall of tides to convert kinetic
energy of incoming and outgoing tides into electrical energy
6. Wave Energy Wave energy is produced from the waves that are
produced in the oceans
7. Hydroelectric Energy What many people are not aware of is that most of
the cities and towns in the world rely on hydropower, and have for the past
century.
8. Biomass Energy Biomass energy is produced from organic material and
is commonly used throughout the world.
9. Nuclear Power The energy is created through a specific nuclear reaction
10. Fossil Fuels (Coal, Oil and Natural Gas) Fossil fuels provide the power for
most of the world, primarily using coal and oil

Four main categories of waste includes Solid waste, Organic waste,
liquid waste and Hazardous waste.
EXPLANATION:
3.////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The three R's – reduce, reuse and recycle – all help to cut down on the amount of waste
we throw away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the
three R's save land and money communities must use to dispose of waste in landfills.
Siting a new landfill has become difficult and more expensive due to environmental
regulations and public opposition.

Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming:

Ozone layer
Water pollution
Garbage
Deforestation:

Ocean water
Contaminants such as chemicals, nutrients, and heavy metals are carried
from farms, factories, and cities by streams and rivers into our bays and
estuaries; from there they travel out to sea.
6./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The primary cause of ozone depletion is the presence of chlorine-
containing source gases (primarily CFCs and related halocarbons). In the
presence of UV light, these gases dissociate, releasing chlorine atoms,
which then go on to catalyze ozone destruction
7./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Deforestation affects wild animals, plants and humans in at least four
distinct ways: via soil erosion, which can lead to clogged waterways and
other problems; via water cycle disruption, which can lead to desertification
and habitat loss
8./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
But the problem with plastic is that most of it isn't biodegradable. ... More
than eight million tonnes of plastic enters the world's oceans each year
and most of that escapes from land. It can be blown into the sea from ships
and beaches, or carried there by river. Some also gets flushed down the
toilet.
9./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Implementing recycling habits into your daily life is one of
the most effective ways to help lessen landfill waste, conserve
natural resources, save habitats, reduce pollution, cut down on
energy consumption, and slow down global warming
