Climate Change and Environment

Introduction Organisms live within an ecological community that is defined as an accumulation of populations of at least two different species that interrelate directly and indirectly within a defined geographic area. Species interaction make the basis for many ecosystem processes and properties such as food webs and nutrient cycles. The nature of these interactions can differ depending on the evolutionary framework and …

Overview Carbon financing deliberates the funding mechanisms that put a financial amount on carbon emissions, allowing, for example, companies who desire to offset their GHG emissions to buy carbon credits earned from organizations and their sustainable projects. It funds projects promoting sustainable energy to benefit residents of developing countries globally. Your business can recompense for your remaining GHG emissions that …

Mental Health It is well accepted that human mental health develops from a complex interplay between genetic, lifestyle, psychological, and other factors.

Wind and Wind Energy Wind Energy captures the natural wind in our environment and transforms the air’s motion into mechanical energy. The wind is caused by changes in atmospheric pressure. Wind speeds differ based on topography, geography, and season. As a result, there are some locations appropriate for wind energy generation than others. In a broad sense, wind speeds are …

What is Water Pollution? The world’s water resources are under cumulative threat from the impacts of climate change, pollution, and population growth. As the global population grows, a tenacious challenge is how to access enough water to meet human needs while also preserving the reliability of aquatic ecosystems.
