The document discusses the color wheel and different types of colors. It explains that primary colors cannot be made from any other colors and are equally spaced on the wheel. Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors and are found between those colors. Tertiary colors are made from primary and secondary colors. The color wheel also shows complementary color schemes which use colors directly across from each other for high contrast effects, as seen in works by Van Gogh and Monet.
Environmental ethics examines the moral relationship between humans and the environment. It considers the value of the environment and non-human life. There are different approaches such as anthropocentric ethics, which views environment as valuable only for what it provides humans, and biocentric ethics, which gives intrinsic value to all life. Other approaches include ecocentric ethics, which values all living and non-living things, and land ethics, stewardship ethics, deep ecology, and ecofeminism.

Presentation on Environmental Degradation
Its causes and effects on the environment
Awareness of environmental Degradation
Preventive Measures for environmental degradation
This document discusses the different types of pollution including water pollution, air pollution, thermal pollution, noise pollution, soil pollution, radioactive pollution, light pollution, and visual pollution. For each type of pollution, the document defines it, discusses the sources and causes, effects, and potential remedies. The types of pollution are caused by factors such as industrial waste, population growth, urbanization, and other human activities. Pollution negatively impacts the environment and living organisms by increasing global warming, degrading air and water quality, and threatening human health. The document emphasizes that collective efforts are needed such as proper waste disposal, reducing emissions, and increasing awareness to combat pollution.
The document discusses several environmental issues including the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, cancer villages in China caused by industrial pollution, and various forms of pollution that are problems in India like air, water, and land pollution. It also discusses Japan's approach to waste management which relies on advances in recycling and consumer participation. Preventing environmental problems involves individual actions like reducing waste and using public transport as well as stopping deforestation and pollution of water sources.
Color is what our eyes see that is reflected or absorbed by light. There are three primary colors - red, yellow, and blue - that can be combined to create all other colors. Secondary colors like orange, green, and purple are created by mixing two primary colors. Color schemes use different types of colors arranged together, such as complementary, analogous, warm, cool, and monochromatic colors. Effective use of color considers both harmony, which creates a pleasing balance, and context, or how color relates to other elements and makes people feel.
Land pollution is caused by the disposal of waste in liquid or solid form, which can change the color, fertility and cause erosion of land. The main causes are uncontrolled garbage disposal, sewage, deforestation, overuse of pesticides, mining and inadequate waste treatment. This leads to effects like loss of forest cover and rainfall, which affect climate and can cause problems like acid rain, global warming and bioaccumulation of non-biodegradable substances in the food chain. Land pollution prevention methods include proper waste disposal through separation and decomposition, recycling, use of biodegradable products, growing more trees, efficient use of resources and judicious use of oil and petrol.

The document stresses that environmental science seeks to understand these relationships and how the natural world works in order to develop solutions to environmental problems.
The document discusses color theory and different aspects of color including:
- The color wheel which shows the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.
- Color values which are the lights and darks of colors created by mixing colors with black or white. Tints are lightened colors mixed with white, and shades are darkened colors mixed with black.
- Warm colors are found on the right side of the color wheel like reds, oranges, and yellows. Cool colors are on the left side like greens, blues, and purples.
- Different color schemes including monochromatic using one color, complementary using opposite colors, analogous using adjacent colors, and
Natural resources occur naturally and include materials like rocks, minerals, soil, rivers, and plants and animals. They satisfy human needs and can be used to create value. Humans are also a resource because through developing skills, they can develop other resources by adding value to physical materials. Any material from the earth that is used by living things and satisfies human needs is considered a natural resource. Resources can be biotic, like forests and animals, or abiotic, like air and water. Some resources are renewable, like sunlight, while others are non-renewable.
Land pollution is caused by various human activities including mining, industrialization, agriculture, construction, and improper waste disposal. It leads to soil pollution which decreases fertility and contaminates crops, posing health risks. Land pollution also damages the environment through overcrowded landfills, toxic runoff that pollutes water sources, and destruction of natural beauty that impacts tourism. Potential solutions include reducing waste production, increasing recycling and reuse, using biodegradable products, properly managing dedicated dumping grounds, and growing organic gardens without chemicals.

Renewable resources include water, solar energy, air, forests and timber which can replenish themselves, while non-renewable resources like coal, natural gas, iron, copper and gold are finite. All natural resources are essential to support life and provide utility to humans, but must be carefully managed to ensure sustainable development and conservation of the environment.
Natural rresources conservation by Muhammad Fahad Ansari12IEEM14fahadansari131
The document discusses natural resources and their conservation. It defines natural resources as materials needed to sustain life that come from nature, such as air, water, land, forests and minerals. Resources are classified as renewable, like sunlight, water and trees; and non-renewable, like coal, which do not regrow or take a very long time to regrow. The document emphasizes the importance of conserving non-renewable resources as human demand increases and stresses the need for sustainable use of the Earth's resources to protect ecosystems.
30how does using natural resources affect the environment?omneya_ghis ghis
Natural events like volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, droughts and tsunamis can cause ecosystems to change. People can also impact ecosystems through deforestation, pollution, overpopulation, and oil spills. When ecosystems change, organisms may need to accommodate by finding new resources, some species may go extinct if unable to adapt, and conservation efforts can help sustain resources through reducing consumption, reusing materials, and recycling.
Natural resources & human effects on the earthfrank2r
This document discusses natural resources and how humans impact the environment. It defines renewable resources like water, air and forests that regenerate and non-renewable resources like oil, coal and minerals that do not regenerate quickly. While humans can harm the environment through pollution, destruction of habitats, and overuse of resources, actions like recycling, renewable energy and environmental protection laws help mitigate damage and protect natural resources for future generations.
This document discusses natural resources. It defines natural resources as products inherent to Earth, including both renewable and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources mentioned include air, forests, wind energy, and solar energy. Non-renewable resources discussed are fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas, as well as minerals. Fossil fuels are described as taking millions of years to form from the fossilized remains of dead plants and animals deep within the Earth's crust.
This document discusses natural resource management and proper resource utilization. It aims to increase land productivity, ensure food security, and promote livelihood improvement and environmentally friendly activities. It defines renewable and non-renewable natural resources. Renewable resources like forests, water and air can replenish, while non-renewable resources like minerals take much longer to form and cannot replenish quickly. The document emphasizes the importance of conserving forests and lists various methods to do so, such as afforestation and preventing deforestation.
Classification of natural resources (pdf)Jhia Yalung
This document classifies and defines different types of natural resources. It distinguishes between renewable and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources such as crops, water, and solar energy can regenerate themselves rapidly and are not depleted once used. Non-renewable resources like fossil fuels, metals, and minerals form over long periods of geological time and are finite in supply. Natural resources are further broken down into categories such as food and fiber resources, aquatic resources, soil resources, and atmospheric resources. The document provides examples to illustrate renewable resources like biomass and geothermal energy, as well as non-renewable resources including coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power.
This document provides an introduction to environmental studies. It outlines the syllabus for a 3 credit course covering various topics including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Key concepts discussed include the composition and layers of the atmosphere, distribution of freshwater resources, land use in India, and ecological concepts such as trophic levels, energy flow through ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycles. Evaluation includes a mid-term exam, classwork, and regular attendance and participation. Suggested textbooks are also listed.
Mineral and energy resources are natural resources that come from minerals and sources of energy found within the earth. Mineral resources include metals like iron, copper, and manganese that are formed by geological processes. Energy resources include non-renewable sources like coal, petroleum, and natural gas as well as renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower. It is important to classify, conserve, and sustainably extract and use both mineral and energy resources.
The document discusses different types of resources on Earth including renewable resources like air, water and land that can be naturally replenished and nonrenewable resources like minerals and fossil fuels that cannot be easily replaced. It provides examples of resources in each category and describes their importance. It also discusses the connections between different resources and how human activity can impact Earth's resources, promoting reducing, reusing and recycling to lessen the impact.
There are two types of resources: non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable resources like coal, petroleum, natural gas and uranium are fossil fuels and minerals that were formed over millions of years and cannot be replenished on a human timescale. Renewable resources like solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass can be replenished naturally or through human efforts within a short period of time and do not get depleted. While non-renewable resources are finite, renewable resources are generally more sustainable as they are constantly replenished.
Ch.6.less.3.how does using natural resources affect the environmentReem Bakr
The document discusses natural resources and how they are classified. It defines renewable resources as those that can be replaced within a human lifetime, like plants, animals, and sunlight. Non-renewable resources cannot be replaced within a human lifetime and include coal, soil, and metals. Reusable resources can be used over and over, such as air and water. The document then discusses different types of rocks and how they are formed, as well as how human activities and natural events can impact ecosystems. In the end it covers conservation methods like reduce, reuse, and recycle.
how human population growth affecting resource depletionSekho Science
The document discusses how human population growth and activities like overconsumption are depleting natural resources. It provides examples of how fossil fuels, water, forests, and minerals are being unsustainably depleted due to overuse, pollution, waste, and other human factors. The depletion of these resources occurs faster than their ability to regenerate. Suggested solutions include controlling deforestation, reducing consumption, exploring renewable energy, and increasing awareness of sustainability issues.
The document discusses how human activity is negatively impacting the environment through overpopulation, pollution, deforestation, and other factors. It notes that humans have altered ecosystems since ancient times by hunting animal populations to extinction. More recently, industrialization and population growth have led to issues like global warming, acid rain, soil erosion, waste disposal problems, and biodiversity loss as species are hunted to extinction. Major human impacts discussed include atmospheric pollution, water pollution reducing water supplies, the shrinking of the Aral Sea, deforestation reducing forests, and the challenges of radioactive waste disposal. The document argues that cumulative human ecological impacts now threaten the long-term viability of the environment and life on Earth.
Global warming refers to the increase in the Earth's average temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This causes greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide to build up in the atmosphere and trap heat. The results of global warming include rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and habitat destruction that could cause 10% of species to be lost by 2050 if current trends continue. Some ways to control global warming are to reduce fossil fuel usage, plant trees, use renewable energy, and decrease overall energy consumption through individual lifestyle changes.

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.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
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.

ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
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.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
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.

39. Wind is just moving air created as the
sun heats the Earth's surface. As long as
the sun's shining, the wind remains an
infinite, reneable resource. Wind power
is clean energy because wind turbines do
not produce any emissions. The windmill
harness the wind's energy turning wind
into electricity.
40. SOLAR PANEL. The sun has produced energy in the
form of heat and light snce the Earth formed. Solar
energy systems do not produce emissions and are
often not harmful to the environment. Thermal solar
energy can heat water or buildings. Photovoltaic
devices, or solar cells, directly convert solar energy
into electricity. Individual solar cells grouped into
panels range from smaller applications that charge
calculator and watch batteries, to lage systems that
power residential dwellings.
