Climate change ppt
Weather refers to short-term conditions for a limited area that can change rapidly, while climate describes average weather conditions over longer periods of time spanning many years. Climate is influenced by both abiotic factors like latitude and biotic factors such as plant transpiration. Greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are essential for trapping heat and maintaining a suitable temperature, but human activities that release additional greenhouse gases are causing global warming. Evidence of a changing climate comes from melting glaciers, tree rings, shifting animal and plant ranges, and increasing temperatures documented in many countries. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving energy in transportation, buildings, appliances, and water use can help address climate change.

What is Geothermal Energy
As concerns are being raised around the world about the future of non-renewable fossil fuels, alternative energy sources are continually being researched. One alternative renewable energy source is geothermal energy, which is essentially converting the heat from the earth's core into energy.
This resource is harvested in few different ways and converted for use around the planet for a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications.
Eco-industrial park and cleaner production
1. Industrial ecology is the study of material and energy flows through industrial systems.
2. It takes a multidisciplinary approach and examines issues from perspectives involving the environment, society, economics, and technology to promote sustainable development.
3. The goal is to shift industrial processes from linear open loop systems that produce waste, to closed loop systems where wastes can be used as inputs for new processes.
Green & Sustainability - Introduction
The document discusses the concepts of "green" and sustainability. It defines green to mean environmentally friendly. It discusses how activities and products today are described as green if they are environmentally friendly. It also discusses sustainability and the triple bottom line approach of considering economic, social and environmental impacts. The document provides information on key terms like ecological footprint, biocapacity, ecological overshoot and how various factors influence overshoot. It includes data on India's ecological footprint and debt. Finally, it discusses sustainability reporting and frameworks for companies to report on their economic, social and environmental impacts.
What Are The Causes Of Climate Change
This document discusses the causes of global climate change, including both natural and human factors. It describes how the Earth's climate has fluctuated in the past due to variations in solar output, volcanic eruptions, and orbital shifts. However, it notes that current warming is unprecedented and cannot be explained by natural causes alone based on factors like CO2 levels exceeding natural levels, the last 50 years being the warmest in over 1300 years, and rising global temperatures observed on every continent since 1970. The document suggests that while natural factors have influenced the climate in the past, human activities like burning fossil fuels are the dominant cause of recent climate change, releasing greenhouse gases like CO2 into the atmosphere at accelerated rates not seen since the Industrial
Gravity
1) Galileo Galilei proved in the late 1500s that all objects fall at the same rate due to gravity, regardless of their mass, contradicting Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fall faster.
2) Isaac Newton later explained that gravity is a force that exists between all objects due to their mass, and the strength of the gravitational force depends on the masses and distance between the objects.
3) The rate of acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 for all objects, though air resistance can affect their actual falling speed depending on size and shape.
Ban Plastic Bags
The 7th grade Breakfast Club at Davisville Middle School proposes banning plastic bags in North Kingstown to reduce their environmental impact. Through a program called Global Nomads, the club learned about plastic pollution issues and chose to address plastic bags for their community project. They conducted surveys that found most residents and stores support alternatives to plastic bags. The club suggests banning plastic bags, exempting some uses, educating residents, and implementing reusable bags to improve wildlife and the environment while reducing dependence on oil. They are willing to help educate the community and businesses to make North Kingstown the fourth town in Rhode Island to ban plastic bags.
Design and the Environment - Cradle to Grave
The document discusses design and the environment. It notes that climate change poses threats like rising sea levels and food shortages. Designers can play a major role in developing sustainable solutions by understanding a product's full life cycle from cradle to grave. This includes analyzing raw material extraction, production, distribution, use, and disposal, and their environmental impacts. Conducting a life cycle analysis allows designers to assess a product's environmental footprint and find ways to reduce impacts and create more sustainable designs. Cradle to cradle is introduced as a framework that aims to create waste-free production by designing products to be recycled or composted as technical or biological nutrients.
2008 sichuan earthquake
The 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China caused tremendous damage, killing over 87,000 people. The Chinese government responded quickly, with the Premier visiting the disaster area within hours. However, the response could have been more organized and rescue efforts were delayed. While infrastructure was rebuilt and inspections increased, collapsed schools revealed issues. A 2013 earthquake in Sichuan caused less damage due to improved standards, though some new buildings still collapsed, highlighting ongoing challenges. Leaders must plan for disasters, take responsibility, and address issues to minimize future harm.

Environmental Governance
The document discusses different visions of environmental governance:
1) The market liberal vision sees economic prosperity and a good environment going hand in hand through market efficiency and corporate social responsibility.
2) The institutionalist vision agrees with embracing globalization but calls for a stronger global environmental regime with broader enforcement of rules.
3) The bio-environmental vision predicts future environmental doom due to unchecked human population growth and overconsumption, calling for population control and reduced consumption.
4) The social green vision proposes concepts like a steady state economy with constant human/capital levels and pursues environmental justice, local empowerment, and import substitution over exploitation by multinational corporations.
Energy conservation
Electrical energy has become essential for modern life and is used for personal comforts, entertainment, industrial and agricultural purposes, and transportation. While conventional fossil fuels currently provide most electricity, they are finite and cause environmental problems. Non-conventional renewable sources like solar, wind and biomass are more sustainable options. India's total installed power capacity is over 225,000 MW as of 2013, with thermal sources providing over half, while renewable sources account for 12%. Conserving energy reduces costs and environmental impacts, since less fossil fuels are used when generating the same amount of power. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency promotes conservation through policies, awareness campaigns and standards like appliance energy labeling.
Climate Change And The Philippines
The document discusses climate change impacts and responses in the Philippines. It finds that global warming is causing rising sea levels, increased temperatures, and changes in rainfall and tropical cyclone patterns in the Philippines. These climate changes threaten key sectors like agriculture, forests, water resources, and human health. While the Philippines contributes little to global warming, local actions are needed to reduce vulnerability and promote sustainable development.

Geothermal energy.ppt
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. It is a renewable source of energy that can be used to generate electricity or provide direct heat. There are three main types of geothermal power plants - dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle plants. Geothermal reservoirs are found in areas with geysers, hot springs, volcanoes and high underground temperatures. While the initial investment is high, geothermal electricity generation costs can become competitive with other sources once plants are operational. India has potential geothermal reserves across its Himalayan regions and development is underway to establish the country's first geothermal plants.

Here are the answers to the questions:
Q1: The hypothesis of continental drift states that the continents were once joined together and have been slowly drifting apart over hundreds of millions of years.
Q2: Other scientists of Wegener's time rejected his hypothesis because he could not provide a mechanism to explain how and why the continents would move. They thought the continents were stationary.
Q3: The location of coal beds differs in the two continents. Coal beds in South America match those found in Africa, suggesting the two continents were once joined. This provides evidence supporting continental drift.
Introduction to Climate Science
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. It finds that human activity is extremely likely the dominant cause of global warming since the mid-20th century. If greenhouse gas emissions continue, the report warns of consequences like more extreme weather, water shortages, displaced populations, and impacts on food production. However, the summary also finds that limiting global temperature rise to 2°C is possible with ambitious emissions reductions, though the window for action is closing rapidly.

This document provides a teacher's guide for a 1-hour classroom activity to introduce students aged 7-12 to the concepts of carbon and water footprints. The activity involves students completing a questionnaire about their habits, then translating their answers into "blocks" representing the carbon and water impacts. They can then pledge reductions by marking over blocks. The goal is to help students understand the environmental consequences of everyday choices and encourage more sustainable behaviors.
Cyprus recycling and ecological footprints
This document summarizes the activities of the 3rd Makedonitissa public kindergarten on the topic of recycling and reducing ecological footprints. Some of the key activities discussed include: puppet shows and fairytales about recycling for the children; math lessons involving packaging recycling; grouping recycled materials; a recycling contest between classes; and making new paper by melting newspaper. The kindergarten also collaborated with the local municipality and other schools on related projects and events. Parents were invited to learn about sustainable development and research was conducted on their ecological footprints. The overall goal was to educate children and parents on the importance of reducing waste and preserving the environment.
Orientation keynote
A large area of plastic waste twice the size of Texas has accumulated in the Pacific Ocean, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. An oceanographer discovered this area after sailing through plastic rubbish for five days. A school analyzed its waste and found that a substantial portion was recyclable or compostable. It has since implemented recycling and composting programs. Students are shown what can be recycled, composted, and placed in general waste to reduce plastic waste.
Plastic pollution in ocean
Plastic pollution in the oceans is a growing problem. Global plastic production has increased from 5 million tons to over 250 million tons currently, with an estimated 3 metric tons entering the oceans every 15 seconds. Plastics do not biodegrade quickly and can take hundreds of years to break down, harming wildlife that ingest or become entangled in plastic debris. Proposed solutions include reducing single-use plastic consumption, reusing materials more than once when possible, recycling plastics and other materials, and launching large-scale ocean cleaning systems to remove existing plastic waste from the ocean.
6 8 carbon footprint
Global warming occurs when CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere and traps excess heat. To address global warming, one should calculate their carbon footprint, which measures the greenhouse gases produced from daily activities. Reducing carbon footprint through actions like switching off lights and electronics when not in use, walking or cycling more, and reducing meat consumption can help limit global warming. Plastics are a major pollutant as their production requires oil and they take hundreds of years to decompose, choking ecosystems. Community efforts like refusing plastic bags, educating others, and proper waste disposal are needed to fight plastic pollution and protect the environment.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

- 4. Get a Recycling Bin
- 5. Shopping Totes • I shop with canvas totes… • I take these to the grocery store and the mall! I don’t want their plastic bags!
- 6. Statistics on Plastic Bags and Reasons to Stop Using Them! • Plastic bags often end up in nature…and oceans • Sea turtles mistake clear plastic bags for jellyfish. Birds swoop down and swallow the plastic. The petroleum-based plastics take decades to break down, and as long as they float on the ocean's surface, they can appear as feeding grounds. • "These animals die because the plastic eventually fills their stomachs…It doesn't pass, and they literally starve to death.“ • Source: www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin
- 7. Plastic bags.. Don’t have to be eaten to harm the animals
- 8. Statistics on the Amount of Time Items Take to Decompose . The New York Times and other sources : Has the following listed: Paper: 2.5 months Milk Carton: 5 years Cigarette Butt: 10-12 years Plastic Bag: some say 10-20 years…other sources say 100 years Disposable diapers: 75 years -450 years Tin Can: 100 years-200 years Plastic Bottle: 450 years Glass Bottle: 1,000,000 years Styrofoam: NEVER Sources:Nemve E Metropolitan Diary, Oct. 1,2001 www.thatdanny.com
- 9. Statistics: • In 2006, Americans drank about 167 bottles of water each, but only recycled an average of 23 percent. That leaves 38 billion water bottles in landfills. • Bottled water costs between $1 and $4 per gallon and 90 percent of the cost is in the bottle, lid and label. • According to the Beverage Marketing Corp, the average American consumed 1.6 gallons of bottled water in 1976. In 2006 that number jumped to 28.3 gallons. • It takes over 1.5 million barrels of oil to manufacture a year’s supply of bottled water. That’s enough oil to fuel 100,000 cars. • www.franklygreen.com
- 10. Plastic Bottles • Eight out of 10 plastic water bottles become landfill waste. • In 2007 we spent $16 billion on bottled water. That’s more than we spent on iPods or movie tickets. • Plastic bottles take 450-700 years before they begin to decompose in a landfill. • If everyone in NYC gave up water bottles for one week they would save 24 million bottles from being land filled; one month would save 112 million bottles and one year would save 1.328 billion bottles from going into the landfill.
- 11. Yuck!
- 12. This Picture Represents the Amount of Plastic Bottles Thrown Away Every 5 Minutes
- 13. My Change • Buy a PUR water purifier for your faucet. • Buy a large plastic container to keep in the refrigerator for a constant “cold” water supply… • Buy a container to take places
- 14. What Other Changes Can I Do?
- 15. How To Conserve Energy and Water • Shut the water off while brushing your teeth…or brush your teeth in the shower! • Put a bucket in your shower to capture water…use it to water your plants. • Shut off the water while washing the dishes (by hand) • Use less electricity in the summer by running appliances in the early morning or late evening…run “full” loads
- 16. Changes in Household Items • Change hazardous waste material in your house to environmentally safe materials
- 17. What happens when the landfills are full?
- 18. Is it a problem if we don’t acknowledge it?
- 19. Ideas for Us?
- 20. If Not Us…Then Who? • If we don’t change…then who will? • Society tends to always think someone else will do “it”. • “It” happens to other people, “it” doesn’t really matter… • I THINK “IT” DOES!!!
- 22. Is “It” Possible? • Is the feat possible… or will we fail? • Only time will tell…but without trying… • WE FAIL.
- 23. WE Deserve a Clean Planet!
- 24. EARTH DAY POSTER Instructions • Draw a poster to celebrate Earth Day 2015 • Use A3 size paper (Drawing Block) – Horizontal Poster • Some possible themes: Clean air; clean water; endangered animal species; trash—reduce, reuse, recycle. • Make your message clear on your poster. • Write your FULL NAME and CLASS and SCHOOL behind the poster. • Turn in your poster to your FT by Monday , 6th April 2015 • Best selected posters will be advertised by Isetan Singapore to the public during Earth Day week.
