Energy Conservation
The concept of energy conservation has been a priority for many governments of late and even organizations and pressure groups have been formed to compel rogue governments and industries to join in the urge to conservation of energy and in effect of the ecosystem. One of the main ways of energy conservation is the use of non-fossil sources of energy which is commonly the practice. The reduction of the need of electrical and heat energy is one of the fundamental ways that could be used to conserve the environment and minimize the human footprints on the environment.
The ensuring reduction in the need for external energy, the first step is to have an insulated house with double walls and insulation material between the two walls also know as vacuum insulation panels and windows that are wide enough for regulation of temperature....
The ventilation valves should be located high up on the wall. These double walls will ensure that the room is insulated and warm since the insulation material between the two walls will keep the heat inside the rom. The ventilations and the windows will also help in the circulation of fresh air and exit of warm air especially during hot summer seasons. With this design there will be no need for electricity to warm or cool the house
The house should also have solar panels installed and in effect have the house depend on solar which is green energy for its use. This will eliminate the need to have diesel generators for power sources as the generators will be polluting the air. There is also need to have a biogas system from the farm biodegradable material like cow dung. This will help the house not depend on fossil fuel produced gas or…
(Davis, 1994, p. 36) 7.Technological Forces The traditional goals of household cleaning manufacturing has been to seek out chemical rather than natural alternatives, as a result of the fact that natural substances cannot be patented. Yet, these standards really only apply to food and drugs (including vitamins) and combinations of natural and semi-natural chemical combinations may see patens in the future, but currently the old standard creates a difficulty that has
The lab will involve testing household products to use as cleaning agents. During the lab students will wear gloves and if necessary masks. Educational goal: To understand the 12 principles of green chemistry and the scientific method Student objectives: Students will understand and apply the 12 principles of green chemistry. Materials: Vinegar, baking soda, bleach, and household cleansers Time required: Three days of research, brainstorming, and finally a lab day. National standards met: S1,
44). Even the section of partnerships is only cursory, another surprise considering that "most of the case studies in this article refer to green RFID projects involving not only private companies by also public organizations" (p. 44) Instead of discussing some of the particular partnerships, or which more most (or least) successful, Bose and Yan simply state generalizations which once again do little to illuminate the reality of implementing green
An additional negative aspect can occur when a seemingly green product really isn't, in the long run. As an example, one of the most successful 'green' vehicles is the Toyota Prius. The hybrid Prius has become the status symbol for all of those wishing to flaunt their environmental conscience. However, the vehicle isn't nearly as eco-friendly as the Green Marketing campaigns lead consumers to believe. The nickel metal hydride battery
The occupants and owners of a building are losing money on every green feature they discard. Architects are in a position to save their clients a great deal of money in the operational costs of a building. After all, a great deal more will be spent on the operations, maintenance, and employees in a building than ever was spent upon initial construction costs. Green architecture not only provides a healthier
Green Computing Limits to Growth E-Waste It has become increasingly clear that much of society needs to implement more sustainable practices to avoid many of problems that the next generations will face. These challenges will include many ecological and social factors. If the world continues consuming resources at its current pace, non-renewable resources will eventually run out. Also, considering the exponential population growth of humans, we are beginning to approach the natural limitations
