The world is trying everything in its power so as to be able to solve this issue concerning the major problems which are as a result of the activities that are being carried out by individuals and firms as they go on with their day-to-day activities. According to the researchers, they have identified some of the major causes of these environmental problems such as the ones discussed.
Wastes are items or substances such as toxic fumes, which people have to get rid of because of their toxic properties. These may include sewage sludge, domestic rubbish, industrial wastes generated from the manufacturing processes, discarded cars, garden waste noxious fumes, and packaging items among others.
a Community Event Committee was formed to decide, and organize the inaugural event and I was authorized to produce a report to inform the committee’s decision. The topic as espoused earlier was on the environment with a bias in Global Warming. The event planned purposed as International students' awareness of and involvement in Global Warming.
There are thousands if not millions of industries in the world that emit harmful gases to the atmosphere and release hazardous chemicals to our rivers. I have been concerned with the effects of these actions we call industrialization; it is very ignorant of us humans to contribute to the total damage of the environment that we share with other animals that deserve a natural environment to co-exist with us.

It was meant to fight global warming. The goal of UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to a level, which can be able to prevent anthropogenic interference, which is dangerous with the system of climate. Global warming has taken a centre stage in international environmental policy and law since the 1990s.
The toxins in the air have been found to travel by wind and can move from one country to another. It is therefore important for governments in all affected nations to set policies that will guide the release of industrial pollutants in all areas. To clear the current existing pollutants in the environment, methods of testing for environmental toxicity should be properly developed.

The paper “Human Understanding of Nature and the Environment” is a brilliant example of a literature review on environmental studies. Man’s tryst with nature has always been an eventful one ever since he had set foot on the Earth. With respect to maintaining an appropriate equilibrium in nature, he has not given pertinent though to its destruction.
The country is a major exporter of wool and mutton as well as beef and wheat. It is an industrialized country. The continent is in the southern hemisphere and its full official name is the Commonwealth of Australia. It lies between the Indian Ocean on the northwest, west, and south and the Pacific Ocean on the north and east. It is best known for a physical environment.
Though there has been much enthusiasm from political and environmental groups to a climate change agreement, the underlying economics and politics remain highly controversial. The debate on climate change has gotten center stage attention in the past year or so, especially after Barrack Obama has taken over as President of the USA in the early part of the year. The reason for this simple.
Going by the many complaints from the civil society and individuals it is obvious that the inhabitants of the island as core stakeholders were not fully involved in the decision-making process. Despite trying out many avenues, the people could not win against a government that claims to protect the government in the battler against the destruction of a unique island.
Environment programs can also be introduced in institutions of higher learning as this would help future generations in acknowledging the importance of the environment. If everyone knew the importance of the environment through awareness programs, climate change effects would be drastically reduced.
The entire world including Australia is going through a phase of rapid climate changes. There has been a change in the pattern of rainfall whereby the northwest part of Australia has witnessed increased rain during the past fifty years while Eastern Australia and the distant South West have seen a decline during the same period.
The marshlands are part of a key international river system, the Tigris and Euphrates, which is the largest river system in southwest Asia and is one of the great cradles of civilization. The Mesopotamian Marshlands consisted of an intricate web of inter-connected marshes, shallow freshwater lakes, and seasonally inundated floodplains spanning an area of, until recently, 15, 000 km2.

The idea is that climate change is a natural process and would happen with or without human intervention (Lindzen, 2001). There are on the other hand those that believe that global warming is basically a result of human activities like the burning of fossil fuels. There is in fact now enough evidence to state that claims might be true after all.
These nested systems may include a microsystem which simply refers to the immediate environment of the child such as the classroom and the family. Secondly, there is the mesosystem that simply refers to two Microsystems in interaction. The third is a method that influences the development of a child for example the parental workplace and can be referred to in simple terms as the ecosystem.

The emissions that result from fossil fuels and the negative impacts of nuclear energy have resulted in a search for alternative sources of energy. Carbon emission has resulted in climate change in the environment. The effects of climate change in today's environment are very much the focus of the governments on a global scale.
The world today is going through a transition moment. The resources largely consumed worldwide are depleting at a high rate and there is the issue of climate change. Fossil fuels are running out and the world is keen to substitute them with other sources that can guarantee wealth and growth in the long run.
Researches on energy storage systems have been multifaceted. However, there have been issues discussed regarding such storage systems including devices that store electric energy and release it only at the time in which it is required. Patterns of energy use and reuse have been a matter of great interest to many researchers.
Until recently, waste management was not given much attention in the country because environmental safety was not considered an issue of concern. Today, however, waste management has become an urgent and immediate concern due to an increase in production of huge quantities of waste resulting from lifestyle choices and industrial growth.
The research will take an exploratory design since there are few early studies to rely on or refer to predict the influence of environmental factors on wood pellet degradation and dust generation. The study aims, therefore, to undertake a research problem at its preliminary research stages. The research design will help in gaining background information on the topic.
The activities of these oil refinery plants are having adverse effects on the marine ecosystems because of continuously being exposed to myriad disturbances (Croquer et al. 2016). Chemical contaminants, including trace metals and hydrocarbons, are the ones having the greatest impacts on marine ecosystems (Venturini et al. 2008).
The increased concentration of plastic in the environment has resulted in adverse effects affecting human survival and the ecosystem. As people are becoming environmentally conscious, ways that the concentration of plastic can be reduced have imaged. As the paper states, one such way is the recycling of plastics.
Making oil production unsustainable. By 2016, however, the problem has not been solved. Indeed, the Ministry of Energy yet again deferred the deadline for attaining 95% of energy utilization to avoid waste from 2012 to 2014, yet in 2016, Russia continues to have problems with APG emission (Bobylev & Perelet 2013).
Interest in green infrastructure as a topic of urban importance has brought up the need to dig deeper into the real importance and the negativities that are brought forth by such terminology. Among the strategic points of inclusive approaches to the development of the community sustainably is this crucial subject. Its compositions are both the natural and artificial green spaces across the globe.
Urban areas are growing at a high rate, and this carries the risk of creating unhealthy environments. Human beings deserve to live in safe, clean, healthy, and accessible places. Human habitats need to live in places whereby natural systems are valued and recognized for the vital services they offer and are assisted in providing these services.
Some of the tools that aim to prevent negative environmental influences and mitigate the identified potential threats during the development of the plans include Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment. However, the utilization of these tools alone is a reactive approach, which calls for the proactive development of Green Infrastructure and ecological connectivity.

The report aims to underscore how green infrastructure fits into the concept of sustainable development. The report concludes that green infrastructure is linked to different social, economic, and environmental benefits. The benefits of green infrastructure are accentuated in suburban and urban areas when environmental damage is extensive and green space is restricted.
The 2011 Regulations tend to integrate the EIA procedures into the frameworks that control environmental quality and should be applicable to projects that are likely to impose significant effects on the environmental processes. Therefore, the local authorities and developers need to consider carefully if the proposal requires an EIA.
In this current case, the Environmental Statement (ES) accompanied the application for development permission providing a summary of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) findings. The author of this particular report analyses the Environmental Statement (ES) of St Helena Airport and Supporting Infrastructure.
The project is founded on the perceived uncertainty in connection with the viability of the Forth Road Bridge that connects Scotland’s transport network. Emergency vehicles will be in a position to choose the route that best addresses their needs. The Forth Road Bridge will be open for pedestrians, cyclists, buses, and taxis as usual (FRC Team, 2009).
The authority for the scheme is being determined and promoted by East Sussex County Council (IEMA, 2008). From the comments of the Secretary of State for Transport in 2001, the proposal includes the rejection of the proposed Bexhill and Hastings bypass and describes the planning history of the proposal (East Sussex County Council, 2007).
The paper "Critique of an Environmental Statement, and Recommendations " is a wonderful example of a case study on environmental studies. Environmental impact assessment is used to evaluate the environmental consequences that can be associated with ta specific project. Although it used under many legal names in different countries, EIA is used to predict problems.
Examining the environmental impact of a proposed project is a crucial part of measuring whether the project planning is appropriate and can bring about sustainable development. Accordingly, these effects have to be considered while applying for consent under the amended provisions of the Planning and Development Act of 2000.
The present paper has identified that the UK government set out a climate change, energy, and planning policy that supports the provision of renewable energy and minimizes carbon (IV) oxide in the atmosphere. As such, this spearheaded the development of wind power technologies to help promote the use of renewable energy.
The most common consumers or electricity responsible for the overall percentage is from fans, driving pumps, compressors, and other mechanical equipment used for transactions. According to the estimations by the international energy agency, 7% of the demand for global electricity could be retained if the development and use of energy-efficient electric motors are used (IEA, 2006).
The set frequency range that the National Electricity Market in Australia (NEM) operates is around 50 Hertz. This range underpins the reliable, secure, and safe power transmission through the Australian electricity supply chain that starts from generators and ends with consumers. In order to control the frequency of the power system, there is a need to have a constant balancing of electricity demand and supply.
The supply of energy and associated environmental impacts, particularly global warming, according to many studies, can be addressed successfully just by making a transition from nuclear energy and conventional fossil fuel to renewable sources that are purportedly sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The article shows that the developing countries such as India are the ones that cause global warming by engaging in economic developments such as greenhouse farming. Contrary, there are still people that can solve the problem by utilizing renewable energy sources. The article helps one to understand global warming.
