I don’t know how to handle this Environmental Science question and need guidance.
Watch the film below pertaining environmentally hazardous method of mountaintop removal to extract coal from Coal River Mountain.. Then write a 1 page paper. FOLLOW THE SAMPLE AND RUBRIC POSTED BELOW.Article Format for Science of Sustainable Design Online Summer 2016 Example:Generating Electricity With Wood Instead of Fossil Fuels Section I Summary: This article discusses the use of wood as a cleaner, more efficient energy source. A continuing problem for the environment is the burning of fossil fuels for energy. This is a problem because it contributes to pollutions and has been associated with global warming. The process of torrefaction is used to remove the moisture from the woodchips and the torrified wood has 80% of its original energy, which makes it ideal for electric power plants, which would normally use coal. Overall, this article discusses the process and advantages of using wood over burning of fossil fuels for energy. The environmental issues involved are burning of fossil fuels, particularly coal. The burning of fossil fuels contributes to acid rain, air pollution and global warming. Section II The impact of the environmental issues identified in Section I on the community and society are global warming which causes super storms, impairs agricultural production, causes air pollution, including acid precipitation which impacts human and environmental health. The possible outcomes could be a decrease in the population of humans and nature and a limited food supply. We should be aware of this situation because although we might not see the effects of global warming or air pollution right now, these are problems that need serious solutions because in our life time we may begin to see more flooding, decreases in agriculture and increased respiratory problems. The solution for the future is the process of torrefaction.
