sINTRODUCTION What are Carbon Credits? A carbon credit (often called a carbon offset) is a financial instrument that represents a tonne of CO2 (carbon dioxide) or CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent gases) removed or reduced from the atmosphere from an emission reduction project‚ which can be used‚ by governments‚ industry or private individuals to offset damaging carbon emissions that they are generating. How are Carbon Credits used? Carbon credits are associated with either removing existing CO2 or

A carbon tax is a tax imposed on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon taxes are a possible cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. From an economic outlook‚ carbon taxes are a type of Pigovian tax.They help to address the problem of emitters of greenhouse gases not face the full social costs of their actions. Carbon taxes can be a degenerating tax‚ in that it may directly or indirectly affect low-income groups disproportionately. The regressive impact

Carbon Cycle Living organisms are significant in the recycling of numerous elements contained in an ecosystem. One of the elements is carbon. Carbon is nonmetal‚ forms over ten million different compounds‚ found in minerals‚ oceans‚ and is the main component of biological compounds. So how do living organisms and their biochemical reactions contribute to the recycling of carbon? Carbon moves through the ecosystem in a cycle‚ in which the living organisms take and release

2013 Carbon Footprint Until very recently‚ most people had never heard of a “carbon footprint.” Now‚ all of a sudden‚ the phrase is hard to avoid. In an age of slick slogans‚ fast fashions and fickle fads it’s easy to assume that this is just another quirky passing gimmick. But it could well be the most important concept of our time. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted as a direct or indirect result of an activity (Yarrow‚ Joanna. How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint:

Discourses of consumption (framing thoughts &actions in terms of consumer focus) dominate organizational theory. In parts of the economy‚ pdtn itself has been reconfigured away from material manufacture & towards the fashioning of ‘signs & spaces’ that are orientated to consumption. Eg. Nike brands. Sell the Nike brand (swoosh logo & just do it) >make &sell Nike. Sportswear are the vehicles to mobilize the brand. Concerned about outcome of the design process that materializes brand & sign value

substandard emission techniques‚ and an ever growing population all play an intricate role of raising Earth’s overall temperature. Each can be linked through one key adversary‚ carbon dioxide. Rising CO2 levels are almost the sole reason temperatures are rising at such an alarming rate. Aside from water vapor‚ carbon dioxide is a chief ingredient in our Greenhouse Effect stew. It’s everywhere. It emits from our cars‚ it flies from our smokestacks‚ and it empties from our lungs. All of Earth is in consensus

environmental movement has a younger demographic than is common in other social movements (see green seniors). 2. Environmentalism * Environmentalism as a movement covers broad areas of institutional oppression. Examples of these oppressions are: consumption of ecosystems and natural resources into waste‚ dumping waste into disadvantaged communities‚ air pollution‚ water pollution‚ weak infrastructure‚ exposure of organic life to toxins‚ mono culture‚ anti-polythene drive (jhola movement) and various
