AP Environmental Science Chapter 17
Subject:
Chapter 17 Energy: Some Basics 17.1 Outlook for energy a. Greece: how did Ancient Greeks manage their fuel crisis? What source did they turn to? By the fifth century B.C., fuel shortages had become common, and much of the forest in many parts of Greece was depleted of fire wood. As local supplies diminished, it became necessary to import wood from farther away. Olive groves became a source of fuel which was made into charcoal for burning, reducing a valuable resource. By the fourth century B.C., the city of Athens had banned the use of olive wood for fuel. The ancient Greeks and romans experience an energy crisis in their urban environment and turning to solar energy they moved toward today we call sustainability

Comparing global warming to ozone depletion
Subject:
The Difference Between Global Warming and Ozone Depletion Foreman Room 102 1. Global Warming and Ozone Depletion take place in two different layers of the atmosphere: Global Warming Ozone Depletion Global Warming vs. Ozone Depletion: Causes Global Warming: cars, factories, rice farming, landfills: Infrared heat enters but is trapped by the chemicals when it tries to escape. The chemicals act like a blanket. CO2 CH4 NOx CFCs H2O Global Warming vs. Ozone Depletion: Causes Ozone Depletion: Propellants (hairspray), Air Conditioners, some manufacturing. Chemicals react with UV protecting ozone in the stratosphere. CFCs CCl4 CF4 Ozone is good up high but bad nearby Global Warming vs. Ozone Depletion: Environmental Effects and Human Health: GLOBAL WARMING
Population Study notes

GREEN INNOVATIONS PROJECT So you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by now about the state of the Earth & how humans will be affected. In order to help ease your concern you need to learn about all of the great innovations that have been created to reduce the Carbon Footprint of humans on the Earth. You will work with a partner or on your own to research a ?Green? innovation that is helping to reduce our Carbon Footprints on the Earth. You will then present your findings to the class in the form of a PowerPoint. (If you work with a partner, be sure s/he will be present in-school the day or presentations. If someone is not present in-class on the day the projects are due, you will be responsible for presenting it individually to Ms. C on your own time!!! )
Sid's College Essay
Subject:
Sitting in fluorescent lit, manila colored classroom, I notice every second tick by, waiting for the final bell. Day in and day out, it is always the same; hundreds of mindless drones making their way through the same daily routine that they have done for years. Seven hours of sitting in this artificial environment they call high school can take its toll on anyone. We all try to find our own escape to maintain sanity within the institution.
coal usage
Subject:
some people are deciding now what will be the most effective resource to use. in some cases the best would be coal. it has a great energy threshold, it also is in large quanitities. You don't really need a lot of it to get a great deal of energy. although it realeases a large amount of sulfer oxide and carbon oxide with new technologies like carbon capture and storage in a few years coal will be a plenitful useful and clean source of energy to use

Energy Conversion: a decrease in energy use based primarily on reducing unnecessary waste of energy. Energy Efficiency: the measure of how much work we can get from each unit of energy we use. 43% of the energy used in the United States is wasted unnecessarily. Reducing energy waste is the quickest, cleanest, and usually the cheapest, way to provide more energy, reduce pollution and environmental degradation, slow global warming, and increase economic and national security. Three ways to save energy in: Industry: replace energy-wasting electric motors, recycling materials, and switch from low-efficiency incandescent lighting to higher-efficiency fluorescent and LED lighting
