Children in Catalonia don't eat enough fruit. What until now was an intuition has been proved to be fact by a recent survey by the Fundació Dieta Mediterrània. The study, based on 2,561 choldren surveyed between the ages of eight and eleven in 20 Barcelona's schools, makes alarming reading.
THE ENVIROMENT AND ECONOMY
Hello, today I’m going to talk about my research paper. The work consists in three parts: introduction, body and conclusions.
INTODUCCTION:
In my research project I’ve explained the kinds of energy there is: renewable and no renewable, the impacts that produced everyone in environment and from a second point of view in the economy. I have also explained the climate change issue and the future forecasts that are expected if the situation no change.
I’ve had been decided do a project about this topic because all related with the environment fascinate me a lot.
The BODY of the project has 8 principal parts:
- The first and second part is an introduction in the sustainable economy and a synthesis of the actual economy situation around the world, in Spain and Catalonia.
- Following I’ve explained the natural resources; what are they, the kinds of resources there are and their shortage.
- To be continued I’ve exposed all kinds of resources or energies:
First the RENEWABLES:
Solar energy: thermal solar energy and photovoltaic solar energy.
Wind power
Biomass energy
Hydroelectric energy
Geothermic energy
Sea energy
The NO RENEWABLE energies:
Nuclear energy
Fossil combustibles: The 71% of the energy that we consume come from to the petroleum, the gas and the coal.
The petroleum
The gas
The coal
- After the explanation of the renewable and no renewable energies I’ve exposed the impacts that produce the obtaining of the fossil combustibles to the environment and the pollution that they emit.
- The fourth point is related of the global warming. The polluted made from the created of waste while the obtaining and combustion of the fossil combustibles make the global warming that it becomes a group of changes in the climate, called THE CLIMATE CHANGE.
- After I exposed the future forecasts related to the climate change. That it’s already a fact and their consequences begins to be serious around the world. (While the last 30 years in a lot of world’s places the meteorological conditions has become extreme, highest than previous period)
- The countries try to reduce the emission of toxic gases in the atmosphere by the way of collective agreement. The most important environment agreement is the Kyoto’s Protocol.
- Straight on I’ve explained the measures that have to take the action in a domestic situation.
Finally I had done an interview to a specialist of environmental education that she helps to me to complete some parts of the project and provided me more information.
CONCLUSIONS
Thanks of the development of this project my knowledge about the environment is more extensive than after to do it.
In 2030 the energetic global demand will increase until the 53%, this fact will became an annual increase of the emissions the 1,7%, until arrive in the 55%.
The 70% of this increase will come from to the two principal countries underdeveloped, China and India, according to the International agency of the energy. However, the developed countries represent only the 20% of the world’s population and they are the responsible of the 80% of the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
For this reasons is very important promote the renewable energies to reduce the pollution that made from the no renewable.
The changes produced in the climate because of the Earth warming are every time more obvious and we need measures to stop their.
This measure has to be from the domestic situation until the worldwide situations. We have the tools to solve it but the problem is that we don’t want to solve it. Until a disaster make react us I think that we won’t do anything… All is our hands.
