Tips for reducing your CO2 emissions fall into a number of categories; this article focuses on what you can do at home and in the workplace to reduce your carbon footprint.

At home

Simple measures could substantially reduce the emissions from your home, and save you money as well - you could currently be paying much more than you need to in gas and electricity bills.

1. Does it need to be so hot? Turning the thermostat down by just one degree can save you up to $60 a year on your heating bill and make a real dent in your household’s emissions.

The word “recycling” makes many think of the little blue bins where we place our old cereal boxes, empty soda cans, and unneeded paper. But recycling actually takes many other forms: for example, the form of a golf course built on a landfill; a piece of modern art made from old tin cans; or World War II-era rubber recycling which helped the war effort. Likewise, many often think of it as a development related to the environmental movement that began in the 1970s and 1980s; in fact, it’s somewhat older.

Water damage has devastating effects on house sewage, homes, people and communities all around the United States and all over the planet every year. The environmental upshot of flood damage are at times overshadowed by the economic and social effects but they are just as intense. When a sizeable region floods, most people look at the devastation of manufactured things and the costs related. The animal world is also moved about or destroyed by water damage and the havoc it wreaks, and though not quantified in dollars, can be catastrophic to the ecology.

Asia has one of the world’s fastest growing property markets currently. Many countries seem to have thwarted the effect of the global credit crunch, and countries like China and Hong Kong are utilizing resources and building space at amazing rates. With this is mind, a push for a greener building industry and greener property market in Asia have emerged.

In this document I would like to outline some of the deficiencies in the use of ETHANOL as a proposed
“alternative” carbon-free, low-gas emission fuel.

Let’s start by taking a look at where ethanol comes from, how it is produced, and why it is being touted as an energy efficient environmentally friendly biofuel.

Ethanol can be produced as a petrochemical via the hydration of ethylene, and biologically, by fermenting sugars with yeast. In this paper we will leave aside the ethanol produced petrochemically and digest some facts relating to the field crops required to produce ethanol.
