Global warming is a phenomenon of which climate change and also it generally increases the average temperature of the earth. So people also the animals have been facing such kind of recent problems […]
Today, world population has exceeded over 7 billion people, and excessive amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon oxides is being released into the air every single seconds. According to Dafeng, global temperatures have increased by about 0.6-0.76 degrees since the mid-1800s because of human activities. As a sequence, oceans are becoming warmer, and sea […]
“ Global warming isn’t a prediction. It is happening” – James Hansen. Climate change is a phenomenon in which Earth’s average surface temperature gradually increases due to the buildup of greenhouse gases, predominately carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is an issue that needs to be collectively addressed or humans could miss the opportunity of […]
Pollution has become an ongoing problem throughout the Earth. From air pollution to waste pollution, the Earth is getting destroyed from the carelessness of others. More importantly, plastic is one of the leading problems of waste pollution, as it can take hundreds of years to break down, if at all. As the plastic industries grow, […]
There is a “dead zone” the size of New Jersey in the Gulf of Mexico in which aquatic life cannot survive . There is a garbage patch the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean. Dead zones and garbage patches are just some examples of the horrific effects that water pollution has on the life […]
All pollution is bad for the ocean and what belongs in the ocean. However, there is one material that is extremely potent to the ocean, and that is plastic. It also negatively effects the oceans wildlife greatly in many ways. Thousands of marine animals die each year because of the plastic debris. There are more […]

The cause of the […]
To many the ocean may just serve as a place for water recreation and fishing. However, without the ocean the Earth would not have the air we breathe. The ocean produces over half the world’s oxygen and absorbs fifty times more carbon than the atmosphere. Covering more than 70 percent of earth’s surface we truly […]
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a microbially mediated process by which organic matter (agricultural residues, food wastes, manure, etc.) is turned into biogas and biofertilizer in conditions that require the absence of oxygen (anoxic environment) (Kelleher et al., 2002). The advantages of this kind of waste decomposition over traditional waste management are obvious: low energy requirement, […]
