The United States has had a problem with controlling how trash gets dealt with. The landfills have been full of trash and the input of trash is continuously coming in. Many times, the ocean is seen as a simple solution to get rid of mass amounts of garbage. This has made all of the oceans but more specifically, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, a home for many soda cans and plastic bags rather than Marlins and Great Whites. As humans, we rely on oceans for a main source of food. We have

Modern offices are a cluster of technology and coffee. The constantly evolving world in which all businesses must operate necessitate a commitment to being energy efficient. Initially, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption for a business, with some relatively small steps. Collecting all the waste paper from the office bins, to be mulched and compressed into fuel bricks, which are then burned to produce the heat for the office, is one step too far for most businesses. However, these small

Allie Lyda 4/9/2015 period 5/6 Eco-Friendly/ Edible Silverware Our environment has a lot of problems with waste that we create and it is getting more out of hand each year. Waste is harming wildlife, rivers, plants, and humans. I have come up with a solution to this global problem and reasons why we need it. My solution is to develop eco-friendly/edible silverware. Biodegradable means to have the ability to decompose by bacteria and other living organisms. Biodegradable products are made out of natural

acid is added to the distilled water in the styrofoam cup and is allowed to begin dissolving for twenty seconds. It is important to add the citric acid to the water and not the water to the citric acid as this creates a large amount of heat to be released, causing the concentrated acid to boil violently and splash out of the container. The addition of an acid in the solution, I predict, speed up the rate of the reaction, thus releasing heat more quickly. The acid acts as a catalyst in the reaction

Uranium is removed from the oceans by diffusion across the sediment-water interface of organic-rich sediments, and this pathway is the largest single sink in the global budget of this element (Anderson et al., 1989; Barnes and Cochran, 1990; Thomson et al., 1990; Lyons et al., 2002; Calvert et al., 2015). Klinkhammer and Palmer (1991) remark that the dissolved uranium is drawn into suboxic sediments along a concentration gradient established by the precipitation of an insoluble phase which forms

enclosed body of water aside the coast where freshwater from rivers and streams intertwine with the salt water from the ocean. As a matter of fact, estuaries are "places of transition from land to sea and freshwater to salt water." An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water formed where freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the ocean, mixing with the salty sea water. Estuaries and the lands surrounding them are places of transition from land to sea, and from fresh to salt water. Influenced

these bodies of water and, unlike some chemicals, salt will remain in the water and soil for years. Aquatic damages include killing off the plankton population, which would greatly hurt the food chain. There is also the possibility of algae blooms, which would make these bodies of water unswimmable and unlivable for fish. The high chloride levels in bodies of water can also cause trophic cascade. Though it has been studied that some plankton will be able to adapt to the saltier water, frogs will have

4.0 Materials and Methods 4.1 Preparation of Plants Water spinach (Iponomea aquatica) and water mimosa (Neptunia Oleracea) will cultivate for 30 days in Hoagland nutrient solution in the lab. This solution play its role as a universal nutrient solution or commonly known as base solution for plants growth in hydroponic environment, which is growing environment of plant using water instead of soil. The nutrient solution will contain : 4.1.1 Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), 38mg/L 4.1.2 Potassium dihydrogen

travels through fractures and eventually is stored for transport. Proponents of hydraulic fracking contend the practice is safe, provides jobs, and is healthier for the environment than fossil fuels. Opponents postulate the practice pollutes the water table, is a health risk, is a viable danger to the climate, and causes earthquakes. The

harsh on the environment has been going on ever since the United States has increased its use of this process to obtain more natural resources. Hydraulic fracturing is also directly correlated to having effects on drinking water. The process of fracking includes the injection of water containing other chemicals into the ground to extract natural resources that would otherwise be more difficult to obtain (Hydraulic Fracturing Overview, 2012). Although the process of fracking has resulted in an increase
