- 1354: The Choosing of a Landfill Site
- ... wastes and another non-hazardous industrial wastes. In hazardous waste landfills different classes of hazardous waste may be allocated to dedicated cells. To minimise the active area and thus minimise leachate formation, by allowing clean rain water to be discharged from unfilled areas while individual cells are filled. Where cellular infilling is carried out, the landfill is effectively sub-divided into separate leachate collection areas and each may need an abstraction ...

- Solar Energy: An Alternative Energy Imagine a perfect source of energy. One with which no pollution what-so-ever is associated with. No poisonous gasses or destruction of rain forests. This abundant source of energy comes from the sun. Solar energy is the visible energy produced in the sun as a result of a constant nuclear fusion reaction that is taking place. The amount ...
- 1357: Ozone Depletion
- ... deteriorate the ozone and form "thinning" or "holes." This is catastrophic because they are bonded very strongly together and cannot be broken down by water. This means they travel into the atmosphere virtually unharmed by rain or decomposition (Goldfarb 282). The reason these are causing such a commotion is the damage they cause to living things on Earth. When the ozone depletes, it causes more ultraviolet (UV) rays to hit the ...
- 1358: Landfills: A Growing Menace
- ... synthetic foam. The modern landfill is lined with multiple, impermeable layers of clay, sand, and plastic before any garbage is deposited. This liner prevents liquids, called leachates, from percolating into the groundwater. Leachates result from rain water mixing with fluids in the garbage, making a highly toxic fluid containing inks, heavy metals, and other poisonous compounds. Ideally, leachates are pumped up from collection points along the bottom of the landfill and ...
- 1359: Greenhousing the Wrong Way
- ... space. But now that we have a wall of Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and CFC's, the sun's heat rays bounce back towards the Earth. The continuous burning of fossil fuels and the rain forests is causing excess amounts of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide acts as the walls of a greenhouse that encompasses the whole world, trapping heat into the atmosphere. The thickening ...
