- Roshika ABOUT WHOM YOU WILL GET TO KNOW LATER IN THE PRESENTATION ZOHAB – IS VERY FAMOUS AMONST THE FNU MANAGEMENT RUCI – WHO IS GOIN TO ASSIST IN PROCESS OF INCRESING THE POPULATION ILI – BELIEVES NO MATTER HOW STRESSFUL WE ARE, WE SHUD REMAIN FASHIONABLE
- The huge depletion of our natural resources is the primary problem which needs to be highlighted on and looked at ways to solving it
- A resource is a source or supply from which benefit is produced http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource
- are also categorized on the basis of renewability
- Resources such as trees, fish oxygen and fresh water are generally considered to be renewable resources as they can be continually reproduced. Fresh water from the earths recycling process, fresh air from the oxygen produced by the plants and trees, and trees and fish which can reproduce themselves
- Gold is extracted thru various types of mining which will be explained by Zohab
- Formed by natural sources Non Renewable
- Oil depletion is the decline in oil production of a well, oil field, or geographic area The world's oil supply is fixed because petroleum is naturally formed far too slowly to be replaced at the rate at which it is being extracted.
- Fiji is a home to many types of mineral resources Such as Mineral Water from the artesian aquifer more commonly known as (Fiji Water) which is reoqned for its quality thru out da world But what we are concerned here is – IS the quality of the minerals in it stil the same as it was thousands of years ago? And why are we exporting our pure golden water outside as we local citizens of fiji are drinking WHAT toilet water? Da water we flush down the toilet is the same water which we drink & we have hundreds of Fijians dieing from water borne diseases
- For example take AU, they have the worldest largest artesian basin but havent started extracting water from it yet WHY? Becoz der r thinking of their future generations Why cant we do the same? Why are we only thinking about making money but not saving da very little mineral reserves we have been blessed with?
- Next we are goin to tok about the Causes of resourse reduction Let me take you thru this cartoon But don’t worry Mr Ananda … your hasn’t fallen down….or has it
- Environmental issues can include erosion, formation of sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water by chemicals from mining processes.
- So just imagine how many babies are born in a second and if the population continues to increase at this rate, what is goin to happen to our minerals
- Gude Evening all Firstly I would like to Thank Roshika for doing a marvelous job in presenting the problem definition As we al might have heard ROSHIKA KNOWS EVERYTHING
- Water Cycle ARTESIAN BASIN
- This slide shows a well dug water well Which has proper cleaning gravel filters and solid concrete walls and a covering
- This metal has been a valuable and highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since long before the beginning of recorded history EXTRACTED THRU MINING WHAT DOES IT DO TO OUR ENVIRONMENT NOTHING GUD
- It is estimated 20 structureS has reserves of at least 270 million barrels each
- To maintain the integrity of Life Support System To accommodate the expanding human requirements & economic activities
- Land use integration minimizes conflicts and links social and economic development with environmental protection and enhancement, thus achieving objective of sustainable development
- Many communities recognize the economic and environmental benefits of local renewable energy, generally, and solar energy, specifically. Homes and businesses with solar installations will have lower energy bills, and new solar energy systems mean new jobs for local installers. Also, by increasing their use of solar energy, communities can decrease air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the secondary impacts that mining or drilling for fossil fuels have on the environment and surrounding communities
- This is the process in which the materials of the Earth's crust are worn and carried away by wind, water, and other natural forces. The destruction of forests and native grasses has allowed water and wind greater opportunity to erode the soil. Changes in river flow and seepage from human technology have shifted the runoff patterns of water and the sediment load of rivers. Resource depletion is an economic term referring to the exhaustion of raw materials within a region. Resources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources.
- -Overconsumption is a situation where resource use has outpaced the sustainable capacity of the ecosystem EG:overpopulation of people living in Fiji. -modern technology that we use now days which contribute on depletion of natural resources eg:factories they need timbers to produce fuel for their boilers. -extracting of mining and minerals from underground will contribute to the depletion of our natural resources.
- Solar cells are long lasting sources of energy which can be used almost anywhere. They are particularly useful where there is no national grid and also where there are no people such as remote site water pumping. Solar cells provide cost effective solutions to energy problems in places where there is no mains electricity. Solar cells are also totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. Compared to other renewable sources they also possess many advantages; wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and liable to breaking down. Rooftop power is a good way of supplying energy to a growing community. More cells can be added to homes and businesses as the community grows so that energy generation is in line with demand. Many large scale systems currently end up over generating to ensure that everyone has enough. Solar cells can also be installed in a distributed fashion, i.e. they don't need large scale installations. Solar cells can easily be installed on roofs which means no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy.
- Hydro Energy Much like solar and wind power, hydro energy has been a constant energy source for man. Following is an overview of hydro energy. Hydro Energy Hydro energy can be defined simply as using the energy of flowing water to generate power. With early man, this power was experienced in the form of propulsion as in moving wheels to grind food materials. With modern man, hydro energy is used to power turbines that produce electricity. In cases such as the Three Gorges Dam in China, hydro energy can be the basis of providing huge amounts of energy to countries in need.
- Geothermal energy . Geothermal energy is renewable energy source. Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy derived from heat deep in the earth's crust. Geothermal Energy has been around for as long as the Earth has existed. "Geo" means earth, and "thermal" means heat. So, geothermal means earth-heat. Geothermal power is generated in over 20 countries around the world including Iceland, the United States, Italy, France, Lithuania, New Zealand, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia, the People's Republic of China and Japan. The entire world resource base of geothermal energy has been calculated in government surveys to be larger than the resource bases of coal, oil, gas and uranium.
- At BioEnergy Resources, we are working to help the world transition to cleaner energy. Energy that will power our cars, trucks and homes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment. This is why we are committed to the commercially viable production of bioenergy and other renewable energy sources. As bioenergy producers, we play a significant role in the maintenance and enhancement of terrestrial carbon stocks as well as in reducing emissions from fossil fuels.
- Does not pollute the atmosphere by using CO2 AND CARBON MONOXIDE,WHILE RELESING O2 A LOT OF SUPPLIES BECAUSE IT ALSO USES NATURAL RESOURCES. IT IS NOT MAN MADE EXAMPLES EVERYTHING IS CONTRIBUTED BY NATURAL RESOURCES. ALL NATURAL RESOURCES IS AVAILABLE WIDELY AT NIGHT AND DAY TIME.
- COST OF FUEL WILL INCREASE INDUSTRIAL BREAKDOWN There are many moving parts in an engine, all of which are in very close tolerances. These parts move at an incredible speed. The oil pump pushes oil through passages to all the moving parts. Most of the moving parts have a passage dedicated to that particular part. The oil is forced in between these parts to create a film separating the parts from each other. What would the world be like if there was no more oil in the world? Will the wars stop, because there is no need to take over a country for it's oil? Will life become slower, seeing that we will not be able to travel so fast? And don't say you can't travel. There are plans for cars that run on batteries, but certain car manufacturers bought the plans and locked it away. Still, battery operated cars are possible. Trains that work with electricity are in use everyday around the world. I'm sure if there were no more oil, the inventors and scientists will come up with a few things to get people moving. Also to get planes flying again. Yes, I'm sure there will be a few things we will have to do without, but don't you think it will be worth it, if the world changes for the better?
- Money cannot be used to make natural resources, but money and laws are used to influence what other humans do with natural resources. So, the monetary value of natural resources is what people believe the value to be. Our ignorance can cause the resources to be greatly undervalued, which is a major problem. We may not consider the "replacement cost" of a limited natural resource when we establish a monetary value. Humans are inherently ignorant; we simplify complex things and processes because we do not understand the "whole"! Natural resources and the ecosystem processes producing them are the most complex systems we can imagine -- if, in fact, we actually can imagine them accurately. Why are natural resources valuable to us? What do we assume about natural resources and their "value" when we equate their existence and use with money? Ecosystem services keep our habitat comfortable and livable without the outlay of money. Nature's processes work for free, powered totally by solar energy. Some examples are: Pest control Flood control Water filtration Soil fertilization Food production Oxygen production Climate stabilization Recreation opportunities
- Plan your route to avoid unnecessary trips. Stagger your journey to avoid peak-hour rush. Getting stuck in traffic can increase the amount of fuel consumed. Try to walk for a short distance instead of driving. Take advantage of car pool or public transport to save fuel and also to save our environment. Know when and how to use your car wisely according to your schedule. The more you drive the more fuel you use, especially on short routes. Always get your car serviced for better car performance. By keeping your engine in tip-top shape you actually save your money. The vehicle components that affecting fuel consumption can be inspected. A clean, serviced engine means better fuel efficiency. Always keep your tires properly inflated as it will improve fuel usage. Keep an eye on your tires at least once a week. The rolling resistance for deflated tires will be greater and will consume more fuel. Tires lose about 1 psi pressure due to air loss caused by the tire hitting holes, bumps and curbs. Always make sure that when you fill up your car, the tires are optimal as recommended. Get your air filters checked and replaced regularly. Air filters clogged with dust, dirt and bugs will affect air circulation and increase fuel consumption up to 10% by restricting airflow to the engine. This not only wastes fuel; it also causes a loss of power to the engine. Check for proper wheel alignment. More power is required to overcome improper alignment, and this in turn wastes fuel. Thicker engine oil causes poor fuel consumption so make sure that your engine oil is not too thick. Using appropriate motor oil in your car can help your car move much more efficiently which in turn saves your money. Using correct octane fuel can improve your car’s performance and using multi- grade oil will reduce drag, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Use thinner tires instead of thicker tires. Thicker tires need more fuel consumption as there is more rolling resistance. Switch to radial-ply tires as they offer less rolling resistance and a longer life than the cross-ply variety. Furthermore, the choice of radials increases a tire’s life and reduces fuel consumption by 5%. Slow down your car gradually when approaching traffic light.
- Tips or How To Minimize Electricity Bill You receive the electric bill every month. You may often complain that the bill is "too much" and sometimes even suspect that your meter is running overtime. But that may not be true most times. Rather the culprit is wasteful and injudicious use of energy. The first step to correct this is to learn to read and analyze the electric bill correctly. This will help us to use the information provided in the bill to advantage ..First check the name, address and consumer number mentioned in the bill to ensure that it is indeed your bill.Check the date of the bill and the billing period.The bill states the meter reading at the start and the end of the billing period, followed by the difference between the two readings. The difference indicates how many units of electricity you have consumed in the present billing period. Make sure that the bill is calculated according to this current consumption and the applicable slab rate. The slab rate is designed to give an impetus to energy conservation. Low electricity users pay less per unit consumed. The bill also indicates the fixed energy charges and other taxes.
- Transportation can be defined as the movement of something, whether person or product, from one location to another. Transportation occurs in a number of different modes including air, rail, road and water. Everyday vehicles transport people and products through these various modes whether it be car, bus, train, plane or ship. Most individuals use transportation, whether public or private, daily and never consider the implications that the
- The world's oil supply has run out due to it's inefficient use by consumers. The nonrenewable resource that once made up almost all materials and products no longer exists. Petroleum was the source of petrochemicals. Petrochemicals include plastics, alcohol, medicines, sweeteners, perfumes, dyes, and explosives. Although wood, hydropower, coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear fission are other alternate The Nightmare Life Without Fuel’ Although, there is difficulty everywhere because of fuel crisis, it has the following advantages:There will no smoke from vehicles and industries so the air will be pollution free. Less people will suffer from cough and cold because of pollution free air. Crime rate will fall down because of mutual protection in crowd. Due to lack of other entertainment facilities, people will start utilizing natural source of entertainment. People will learn to live natural life without facilities such as central heating, shower bath with hot water etc. disadvantages of fuel crisis:People will be deprived from facilities which will make their life complicated. People will have to walk and carry goods by themselves. People living in suburbs will face acute problem bringing and storing food. High percentage of people will have health problems, even sustain brain damage Entertainment and printing materials will be curtailed depriving people from getting even information and news. There will be high death rate of infants as their mothers will go dry. Outs
- Of all the minerals mined from the Earth, none is more useful than gold. Its usefulness is derived from a diversity of special properties. Gold conducts electricity, does not tarnish, is very easy to work, can be drawn into wire, can be hammered into thin sheets, alloys with many other metals, can be melted and cast into highly detailed shapes, has a wonderful color and a brilliant luster. Gold is a memorable metal that occupies a special place in the human mind. Gold has been used to make ornamental objects and jewelry for thousands of years. Gold nuggets found in a stream are very easy to work and were probably one of the first metals used by humans. Today, most of the gold that is newly mined or recycled is used in the manufacture of jewelry. About 78% of the gold consumed each year is used in the manufacture of jewelry. Uses of Gold in Electronics The most important industrial use of gold is in the manufacture of electronics. Solid state electronic devices use very low voltages and currents which are easily interrupted by corrosion or tarnish at the contact points. Gold is the highly efficient conductor that can carry these tiny currents and remain free of corrosion. Electronic components made with gold are highly reliable. Gold is used in connectors, switch and relay contacts, soldered joints, connecting wires and connection strips. Gold is used in many places in the standard desktop or laptop computer. The rapid and accurate transmission of digital information through the computer and from one component to another requires an efficient and reliable conductor. Gold meets these requirements better than any other metal. The importance of high quality and reliable performance justifies the high cost.
- Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces.[1][2]
- Clean and plentiful water provides the foundation for prosperous communities. We rely on clean water to survive, yet right now we are heading towards a water crisis. Changing climate patterns are threatening lakes and rivers, and key sources that we tap for drinking water are being overdrawn or tainted with pollution. NRDC experts are helping to secure safe and sufficient water for people and the environment by: Promoting water efficiency strategies to help decrease the amount of water wasted; Protecting our water from pollution by defending the Clean Water Act and advocating for solutions like green infrastructure; Helping prepare cities, counties and states for water-related challenges they will face as a result of climate change; and Ensuring that waterways have enough water to support vibrant aquatic ecosystems.
- Dirty water is the world's biggest health risk, and continues to threaten both quality of life and public health in the United States. When water from rain and melting snow runs off roofs and roads into our rivers, it picks up toxic chemicals, dirt, trash and disease-carrying organisms along the way. Many of our water resources also lack basic protections, making them vulnerable to pollution from factory farms, industrial plants, and activities like fracking. This can lead to drinking water contamination, habitat degradation and beach closures. NRDC is working to protect our water from pollution by: Drawing on existing protections in the Clean Water Act, and working to ensure that the law's pollution control programs apply to all important waterways, including headwater streams and wetlands, which provide drinking water for 117 million Americans; Improving protections to reduce pollutants like bacteria and viruses, which threaten Americans' health and well being; and Establishing new pollution limits for top problem areas, such as sources of runoff and sewage overflows
