The UK economy has reached an all-time high with food waste reaching a staggering 7.3 million tonnes in households alone, an increase of 4.4% from 7 million tonnes in 2012. However, consumers are not the only criminals as supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s waste a formidable 35,832 tonnes each year. Despite this, is the manufacturing industry to blame for these incomprehensible figures? With enticing deals greeting customers at the entrance of every aisle, it is almost impossible to fall under the

300 working mines in 2016. The resource with the highest number is gold. Gold had an estimated 130 active mines in service harvesting this commodity. In Australia there is currently 3,826 metric tonnes of gold in reserve, and in 2016 only a small percentage of the was captured. There was 288 metric tonnes produced from the 130 mines in production (Ore Reserves - Geoscience Australia). It is collected in open-cut mines. Large equipment is used to remove blasted rock put it into machines that separate

Climate change is undeniable but what is denied by many people is the negative impact of a nightly dinner of meat and buttered vegetables. It seems hard to deny that animal agriculture plays an negative role in the environmemt when it is one of the leading greenhouse gas producers annually. Animal agriculture is one of the most significant contributors to land degradation, water pollution, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics,

Climate Change is something that we have caused because of our choices to burn fossil fuels, at some point we have to face the problems that we have created. The consequences of Climate Change are horrific and Climate Change could end our existence as a species, most people do take action against Climate Change except, The Government of the United States of America, refuses to accept the serious dangers of climate change and continues releasing propaganda on Climate Change, claiming its effects

CML103 - Term paper Methanol Synthesis Industrial process/chemical synthesized: Today in industries, generally the basis for the manufacture of methanol is synthesis gas (normally called as syn gas). Syn gas is a mixture of carbon-monoxideand hydrogen. By syn gas :- For the production of methanol to be independent of feedstock material, the three steps that can be followed are :- Syn gas preparation, Methanol synthesis and, Methanol purification that

Russia was also economically modernised and in fairness Stalin was the most influential in this aspect. Stalin introduced three five year plans which undoubtedly industrialised Russia rapidly in 1928-38. GOSPLAN (state planning agency) drew up targets for each factory in order to improve heavy industry such as coal, oil, steel and electricity. The Pioneers went into barren areas to set up new towns and industries and workers were trained through education schemes. Due to the Soviet Union women were

coal, steel, oil, and electricity output. According to Document 2 the goal was to increase electricity output by 11.95 million kWh, increase coal production from 35.4 million tonnes to 68 million tonnes, oil production from 11.7 million tonnes to 19 million tonnes, and steel production from 4 million tonnes to 8.3 million tonnes in only 5 years. These goals were impractical and inaccessible. Stalin released another Five-Year Plan in 1933, where he wanted to increase steel production by 25%. Because

Nuclear energy has long been considered a great way to generate power for the lights and heating and cooling systems we use at our homes. It can generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions. However, after a few terrible disasters in Nuclear power plants around the world, people have become more aware that, when not treated carefully, nuclear power poses rather a significant threat to our way of life. There also have been safety and health concerns involved in storing nuclear radioactive

This essay will be investigating the extent to which people must reduce overfishing in order to preserve animal populations. Overfishing can be defined as ‘the catching of too many fish resulting in the deterioration of marine biodiversity and food systems, as fish populations decline.’ This essay will overlay the perspectives of Hong Kong, the perspective of Japan, and finally the significance of overfishing on me and my family. Overfishing is a very important discussion because it has become a

Yet still, thousands of whales are killed each year for profit. Mankind’s avaricious nature for more money has driven these creatures to their demise. Despite that, an increasing number of people worldwide are against commercial whaling. This is due to the issues associated to commercial whaling such as the inhumane killing methods

“ We have not yet won the battle against drug trafficking.” The global drug trade propagated an estimated US$321.6 billion in 2003. As the world GDP was US$36 trillion in the same year, the illegimate drug trade can be estimated as nearly 1% of the entire global trade. Consumption of illegal drugs is prevalent globaly. According to a report published by United Nations Research Institute for Social Development in 1994, most of these illicit drugs are being produced in the third world countries and

Following the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1914, Joseph Stalin took up his position as leader of the Soviet Union. After rising to power, Stalin made drastic changes to Russia that was still torn from war at the time. With his power, Stalin aimed to bring Russia to the top of the world. In the end, while he pushed the Soviet Union’s economy to new heights, his methods were cruel and had negative impacts. After the war, Stalin was determined to turn Russia into a great industrial power. He began with

and it has a comparative advantage which allow international trading. Reference to page 2, illustrates production of automobile and fruit of two countries. Currently, Australia is producing 8 tonnes of fruits and 2 thousand of automobile where in Japan is producing 10 thousand of automobile and 2 tonnes of Fruits. It is very much clear from the page 2 calculations, that cost of product for fruits is lower in Australia while production cost for automobile is lower in Japan. It is possible for Australia

I. Startling fact a. According to the National environment Agency, the amount of food waste we produced in 2014 is a remarkable 788,600 metric tonnes (Nea.gov.sg, 2015). b. Just how much is that waste? (show size comparison of human to blue whale) That’s the relative size. We’re producing waste equivalent to the mass of 4357 blue whales. It’s phenomenal. As of June last year, our population stands at about 5.47 million (Monthly Digest of Statistics Singapore, February 2015, 2015). That’s about 144kg

9). Furthermore, Canada consumed 330 million tonnes of fuel in 2016, with a global energy demand of 2.5% (BP, 2017, p. 9). Subsequently, in 2016, 30% was from oil, 27% from natural gas, 27% from hydroelectric, 7% from nuclear, 6% from coal, and 3% from renewables (BP, 2017, p. 9). However, Alberta

http://bossresources.com.au/ Uranium Investments Deliver Handsome Returns with Minimal Risk Uranium investment increasingly compels the attention of serious investors throughout the world. Uranium demand is expected to increase by 50 percent by 2030 as more and more reactors come online in China, the United States and the U.K. [1] In the face of increasing demand, limited supplies and scaled-down uranium mining operations worldwide, the boom side of the boom-and-bust cycle is inevitably drawing

reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Much of this nuclear waste will remain hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years, leaving a poisonous legacy to future generations. The global volume of spent fuel was 220,000 tonnes in the year 2000, and is growing by approximately 10,000 tonnes annually. Despite billions of dollars of investment in various disposal options, the nuclear industry and governments have failed to come up with a feasible and sustainable solution. Most of the current proposals for
