Solar energy is the energy from the Sun’s radiation. Fossil fuels, like coal, gas, and oil, are produced by sunlight through photosynthesis over millions of years. Moreover, using fossil fuels can also cause pollution. Although the formation of fossil fuels depends on sunlight, solar energy comes directly from the sun. The lifetime of the Sun isContinue reading “SOLAR ENERGY (BY AMIR LALE)”

Households are accountable for nearly three-quarters of global carbon emissions, as these have been estimated to be accountable for around 72 % of carbon emissions on a global basis (Hertwich and Peters 2009; Wilson et al. 2013). The statics above tells us that our housing footprint is typically one of the largest sections of ecological footprint which has been creating a greater impactContinue reading “DORMITORIES AND ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT (BY AMIR LALE)”

Generally even if we do not notice, our actions are tend to be causes of carbon footprints. In our home, dorms or universities, we cause energy consumption indeed excessive use of energy especially electric energy. The first problem which i observed in AGU is automatic doors. It spends lots of electric energy due to students,Continue reading “WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS IN AGU,HOME AND DORM?(ASLINUR CARAL)”

Carbon Footprint is a measure of the environmental damage caused by human activities in terms of the amount of greenhouse gas especially carbon dioxide produced.  There are some reasons about  formation of ecological footprints. The first group include direct CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels, including domestic energy consumption and transport (eg carsContinue reading “WHAT CAN WE DO TO REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT?(ASLINUR CARAL)”
