If an ideal pH level is 7 than the carbon was able to take our acidic water and make it more neutral. Coal works as a pH balancer for the earth’s soil and helps to filter out water as it passes through. The pH in the soil has a major impact on the nutrients that come from that soil. The more nutrients that are produced the better ecosystem will function. 4.
The use of chemicals in the hydrofracking process and the energy needed to operate the trucks and drills, critics say, offset the low carbon emissions from the burning of natural gas, making it no better than oil or coal. Furthermore, opponents contend, pollutants left behind at hydrofracking drilling sites could seep out from closed pipes and wells, posing a danger to public health for generations. Therefore, critics say, the federal government must step in to institute stricter regulations than the states have already
Ethanol is a healthy alternative to oil. Using food crops to produce oil aids our independence but, it also has the potential to drain our food supply, especially in a time of emergency. All these things give example of the many ways hemp oil could potentially replace our dependence on foreign oils and propel us into more eco-friendly options to sustain our daily lives. The plant would benefit people if we were to let it thrive and have taxes on different productions. The author closes by saying the government is preventing farmers from growing hemp for any reason and spends four billion dollars a year trying to keep it
Nitrogen fixing bacteria in the roots of leguminous plants reduce atmospheric nitrogen to ammonium using ATP and reduced NAD. The ammonium ions released into the soil are oxidised by nitrifying bacteria firstly to nitrite, and then to nitrate. This oxidation increases the nitrogen content in the soil which plants can use to produces many useful molecules including amino acids, proteins, DNA and ATP. The formation of these ions forms part of the ecological nitrogen cycle which plays a key role in sustaining life on this planet. Plants are the producers for an ecosystem.
Pollution is causing the atmosphere to decay and is helping generate global warming. Since there is not much pollution by hydroelectric plants then the earth should be able to last longer. Another main advantage is that water is provided free by nature there is minimum cost to convert it into energy. The earth is made up of 72% of water then there is a main advantage since we have enough water to last a long time. Hydropower plays a major role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions which could also help with less pollution released into the environment.
A university professor Richard Parnas, along with some of his student has discovered that they could produce biodiesel fuel from virgin hemp oil. The found that not only could they convert 97% of hemp oil to biodiesel but that it burned at a much lower temperature than any other form of biodiesel used today. There next step is to build a refinery capable of producing 200,000 gallons of fuel a year. The refinery will also test a verity of feedstocks along with hemp and the economic value of them. Parnas also point out that hemp does not need high quality soil to grow.
Even though there are people against fracking, the opposites consider that it could be good because it will create jobs, Americans could have their own energy and the U.S.A will use less coal. People who are against fracking claim that it has negative environmental consequences. The drillers use acids such as Boric Oxide and Hydrochloric that are used to clean swimming pool filters. Moreover, they use detergents one of them is Sodium Hydroxide.pH buffer. It is very corrosive and causes severe burns.
To begin, methyl bromide has been banned under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Erickson, 1). Recently the Environmental Protection Agency has approved its chemical sister methyl iodide (iodomethane) as a replacement for soil fumigant (ARC). Fumigants are volatile compounds used as pesticides or disinfectants to control soil borne diseases (Erickson, 1). However, fumigants are contentious due to their potentially dangerous nature if not handled properly. In retrospect, methyl iodide is a better fumigant than methyl bromide for multiplicity of reasons.
It maintains Earth’s natural resource and eliminates some of the waste that is buried or burnt. But perhaps the most important advantage of recycling is the amount of energy saved and the decline in greenhouse gases and pollution that result from scrap materials being substituted for virgin materials (The Truth about Recycling. (2007). Economist, 383(8532), 22. Retrieved from EBSCOhost).
Clean energy use would be very good for the environment, it is very important to know that the planet needs a break, and it is not enough with the recycling programs that help but are not sufficient to prevent the country to continue to rely of fossil fuel, as we have done in the last 100 years. Sometimes people will not care about it because they think that by the time that the planet’s environments collapse, they will be gone for many years, it is sad but people think that
