Introduction

Energy is an important component of our day-to-day activities. Life is unimaginable without energy because many of the things we deal with depends on energy in one-way or the other. Saudi Arabia has oil and gas as the major forms of energy. During the processing of the oil and gas, a lot of waste and water bodies are released into the air. Oil is not a constant commodity and over reliance on it as the major source of energy would be very disastrous. The future of the energy is bleak because a lot is being consumed at the present moment without a careful ...

Albert Bandura first proposed observational learning theory in 1986 as the basic form of learning whereby learning occurs through imitation or observation of the behavior of others. Observational learning has been stressed by other scholars on its importance because the society especially the young generation gets to learn and acquire new responses by observing the behavior of others. Unlike the traditional learning theories, observational learning does not require reinforcement or punishment to ensure learning takes place. Instead, the learner requires a social model, who can be a teacher, a parent or someone in authority engaging in a manner that the learner desires ...

Abstract

The ecological settings in an ecosystem change from time to time. The changes in the ecological settings are brought about by a plethora of factors. Through evolution, the organisms that live in the ecosystem also change to adapt to the aforementioned ecological changes. The adaptation of the organisms to the ecological changes yields variations because different organisms and even organisms of the same species are exposed to the elements to different levels. Man has a significant role to play in the ecological changes. Through his economic activities, the effect on ecosystems has been both positive and negative. Urbanization as ...

Introduction

With the concern for reduction of global warming effects on the environment, focus is now shifting to how buildings can be built so that they need fewer mechanisms for cooling and heating. Buildings play an important role in the quest to reduce the heat that is being released to the environment. The buildings that have been put in place offer people protection from the extremes of the environment. Although this is the case, there are many ways in which buildings affect the environment in negative ways. They also affect the health ...

GREEN HOSPITALS

Executive summary

Just like any other institutions of the world, hospitals are required to adopt sustainable development procedures as they go about their duties. In every diagnostic and therapeutic activity in a hospital, it is highly recommended to put into consideration the effect of the environment and hence the effects to humans and the surrounding flora and fauna. The following work is focusing on green hospital concept. What does it entail, how can be achieved, and how can it be maintained. It also stipulates the consequences to hospitals that do not adhere to the green hospital policies and the long ...

Introduction
Many hospitals go against the practice of sustainable of development and environmental conservation. They contribute to pollution and environmental destruction through emission of carbon into the atmosphere, water wastage, unhealthy food and misuse of energy. These actions not only destroy the environmental but also contribute to high disease prevalence (HealthIT 2012). The concept of green hospitals has evolved over time to offer answers to some of the challenges.

Problem

Waste Toxins: many hospitals contribute to environmental pollution through toxic wastes. The used and expired drugs and packaging materials if not properly disposed of may lead to environmental pollution. ...

At one point, different concepts and theories of the natural science meet at an explanation of phenomena in a manner that most scientists may not imagine. Such is the relationship between geology and physics. Geology, definitively, is the study of the composition and elements of earth. In an advanced understanding, geology defines the different aspects of the universe such as rocks and the processes by which they change. On the other hand, physics is the branch of natural science that details the understanding of matter force, energy and matter with their movement through time and space (Anand, 2002). With ...

Abstract
The dominance of commercial technological innovation in the context of modern society has resulted in a form of technological dependence for some individuals, causing them to pay less regard to aspects of the physical world. Technological innovation has assumed a noteworthy role in the flow of our daily lives, such as through the methods we employ to maintain interpersonal connections. Numerous individuals are included in a matrix of connections facilitated by technological innovation and an increasingly digitalized culture; however, the vast amount of these affiliations can leave individuals the global community feeling subjectively void. The effects of technological ...

Introduction

The effects of accumulated carbon in the atmosphere are now evident in almost every part of the world. As a result, there is need for a collective approach towards implementing strategies that will help reduce such accumulated carbon. Since it is virtually impossible to reduce the already available carbon in the atmosphere, the best approach in this case is thus concentrating on limiting emission from the most common sources (Armaroli, & Balzani, 2011). This proposal thus presents installation of solar panels to harness solar energy with an aim of making the same the most preferred source of energy.

Waste disposal and waste incineration do irreparable harm to human health and ...

Water is one of the fundamental elements that exist within the aquatic ecosystem. Ideally, clean and plentiful water is the basis for a prosperous community. Most creatures in the general ecosystem rely on water for survival. However, there are some factors that have totally effective changes in the recommended ecosystem balance. This research cites the climatic changes as one of the factors that are threatening the purity and abundance of water in the ecosystem (Geiger 89). In addition, the less water that remains in the system is tainted with pollutants, which makes it hazardous for consumption. This research will base ...

The world today continues to suffer the consequences of environmental pollution. Many people are increasingly becoming conscious about the environment to the extent that they only want to conform to the elements that promote environmental wellbeing. Vehicles are a major cause of environmental degradation. The fumes produced and emitted to the atmosphere by vehicles deplete the Ozone, bringing about the greenhouse effect. Hybrid cars are an option in trying to deal with the problems of environmental degradation. Simply put, hybrid cars use two sources of energy to ensure motion (Anderson, 2010). The two commonly used sources of energy are motors ...

Florida panhandle has a unique and amazing natural history. Together with its surroundings such as Mississipi and the Gulf Coast, this place remains a mystery. To date, the place is not known by many people. Within the boundaries of this region, there are more native animals ...

King County in Washington has embarked on a 148.3 million capital improvement project designed to improve the wastewater management system in the county, modernize the existing facilities and guarantee sustained compliance with established environmental laws (King County 1). This capital improvement project is financed by ratepayers through capacity charge bills and monthly rates. The continued funding of this capital improvement project is dependent on sustained improvement in the efficiency of the wastewater treatment plants.
It is important to note that efficiency in this case does not just entail the economic aspects, but also the quality of the wastewater treatment ...

The practice of holding animals in captivity (particularly in zoo contexts) is barbaric, and should be prohibited as a practice. The proposed research paper will utilize an ethical argument to advocate against the keeping of animals in captivity. The primary goal of the research paper will be to argue for this belief, not as a call to take specific action against it.
This argument falls into the category of an ethical argument as it is mostly based around the importance of the welfare of defenseless creatures against a far superior and controlling force (i.e. humanity). Therefore, the main conceptual core of ...
