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

cause climate change. Essentially Trudeau has put the premiers on notice to adopt a carbon tax of $10 a tonne in 2018 and increase it to $50 a tonne by 2022 or Ottawa will impose its own. Alberta's carbon tax plan, which starts in 2107, calls for a $20 per tonne tax and increases to $30 per tonne in 2018, with no other increases planned. Albertan's will now be hit with an increase to $50 per tonne tax by 2022.

Outline the Importance of the Crop to Australia’s Economy Australia’s wine industry has evolved over the last 200 years from a small collection of plants introduced by early settlers to an internationally recognised wine producer, known for its quality, variety and innovation. Our climate and soils provide beneficial growing conditions to allow growth in over 60 wine regions. Australian wine production has a significant contribution to the Australian economy. This benefit however is not limited

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,

In 2003, 17% of the world’s electricity came from nuclear power (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 2003). In 2012, 9 years later, this percentage dropped nearly 5 percent to 12.3% (Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), 2015). While percentages have dropped, nuclear energy remains one of the few base load electricity sources. It is one of the energy sources that never stops producing electricity in the world. Nuclear power is a reliable solution for an efficient as well as eco-friendly method

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

energy comes from biomass, producing more than 26 million tonnes. (Wilson, 2014) As you can see in the graph above, from 2000 to 2011, biomass has taken a big role in providing Germany with renewable energy. The graph goes from producing about 7 million tonnes of biomass power to about 23 million tonnes or so, which also means that it grew 16 million tonnes within 11 years. Compared to wind and solar energy, where they only grew 5.5 million tonnes in total. (Wilson, 2014) Henceforth, we can predict 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

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

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

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

in Castle Donnington features Europe's largest solar wall, which uses the sun's energy to warm fresh air that can then be used to heat and ventilate the warehouse, saving 1.1GWh, equivalent to the energy use of two large M&S stores, and saving 250 tonnes of carbon emissions a

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
