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 […]
One of the largest producers of plastic wastes in Asia is the Philippines.

The findings of this study indicate that as expected the natural albedo of seawater is susceptible to positive and negative forcing by pollution and natural agents. Comparison of oil and gas pollutants showed inverse temperature change profiles, with the oil sample heating more rapidly and cooling more slowly than seawater, while the plastic sample heated […]
Do you ever consider the life of the shopping bag you use to transport your groceries or the plastic straw that seems to come standard now with most beverages? “A bag that is used on average for 15 minutes, yet it could take 100 to 300 years to fragment” according to SAS.org. These often one-time-use […]
“ 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.
