When you hear the word 10 million what do you think? It’s a pretty big number, Right? Well, that’s the estimated amount of active landmines left in Afghanistan after wars. Hello classmates and Mr. Pollard. Today I will argue about the production and use of landmines in war. Landmines were invented by the Chinese in 1277. Since their creation there have been countless deaths and injuries caused by these weapons. From 1999 to 2008 there have been a total of 73576 casualties, that’s the same amount
needs of her family. Her day is filled with tasks such as keeping her house clean and changing diapers as illustrated by the poet – “but she saw diapers steaming, on the line” (Line 2). The setting of the poem is that of a single family home, which from the speaker’s tone appears to be messy and surrounded with a lot of work that needs to be done. It also appears that the woman is always confined to her home. Additionally, the poet uses imagery to communicate to readers the wearisome and boring life

Indonesia is the major producer of Palm Kernel oil with a quantity of 3.8 million tonnes, followed by Malaysia with 2.35 million tonnes. Indonesia and Malaysia are also the largest producer of Palm Kernel oilseed and the major exporters of Palm Kernel oil. • Coconut – Coconut oil also known as copra oil is extracted from the kernel and meat of matured coconuts
second largest biscuit manufacturing company in the north India. The KCPL was manufacturing glucose biscuit using maida, sugar and Vanaspati which they bought from the local market. In the year 1980-81 KCPL doubled its capacity from 120 tonne per month to 240 tonnes per month. The same year turnover was Rs. 2 crores, an increase of 17 over 1979-80. Its net profits were Rs. 20 lakh, an increase of 12 per cent over the previous year. The glucose biscuit were the growing segment of the biscuit industry

We found that Americans purchase on average 8 pairs of shoes every year. This translates to about 7,142,094,187 CO2 tonnes released into the atmosphere every year, in addition to the rest of the world’s population.

fish are depleting and people are still overfishing. This video really opened my eyes to all the problems with the fishing industry and how we are treating fish. In Newfoundland, the fisheries have been fishing Cod for decades; collecting tonnes and tonnes of fish every year. They knew that the cod was starting to run out, but they didn’t do anything about it. Now the Cod is practically gone and probably will not recover in our lifetime. This shows the tragedy of the commons because they knew it

One tonne of municipal solid waste produces 650Kwh of electricity. A plant handling 400 thousand tonnes of waste can generate enough electricity to service 20 thousand homes. Furthermore recovering the heat from the plant and providing it to communities through a heating system will increase the energy

world, with its tallest pylon measuring to 343 m height, and total weight measured at 242,000 tonnes. The road itself stretches for 2.46km and is 280m above the valley floor. The weight of the road deck is a whopping 36,000 tonnes. The steel road deck, 4.2m thick, has a width of 32m, wide enough for two lanes of traffic in each direction. The total amount of concrete used on the structure was 205,000 tonnes. One of the great engineering feats when building this bridge was the use of steel. Despite
Assignment 1: Impact Logbook – 2015 Appendix 1 1. Personal Energy – Electricity Footprint Based on my collected data, the energy consumption for my refrigerator alone is approximately 38% of the average energy consumption per day. (The energy consumption of the refrigerator is the highest). On the day in which I decided to use the washing machine and the dryer, my average energy consumption approximately increased by a factor of 2 from the average energy consumption of my normal daily routine.

intervention had changed the nature of Canadian fishing, leading to the development of Canadian owned super-trawlers. Disaster Strikes: Throughout the 1980s, the annual catch of Canada's northern cod fishing fleet hovered around the 250,000 tonnes mark, as the Canadian government kept promoting more investment. Newfoundland's small-scale, inshore cod fishermen, however, were voicing concerns long before anyone else that the abundance of the northern cod population was not as healthy as scientists

Why do people generally prefer public hospitals instead of private hospitals? Public hospitals are run by government’s annual budget through Medicare. This public system is run by taxes paid by the people living in the area. In most of the countries, health care is in the top five services to be considered. Public hospitals can be afforded by anyone. Government hospitals are alot advantageous to poor people who can’t afford private treatment. People can have free treatment when they are sick. Like

Getting this technology patented was a big hurdle. After four years and numerous visits to the Chennai office, the technology was finally registered in 2006. Though plastic waste has been a nagging problem for civic authorities, with thousands of tonnes of garbage generated every day, it took years of discussion for Dr. Vasudevan to be acknowledged by organizations like the Central Pollution Control Board, National Rural Roads Development Agency, Central Road Research Institute, Indian Centre for

slags and the seabed nodules are the known resources of Cobalt. As per UNFC system, resources of cobalt in terms of ore as on 1.4.2013 are estimated at 44.91 million tonnes of which about 69%, i.e. 30.91 million tonnes are estimated in Odisha. The remaining 31% resources are in Jharkhand (9 million tonnes) and Nagaland (5 million tonnes). 5. Consumption Since cobalt has a specific usage and there is no known substitute for the metal, future demands are likely to increase. In India, cobalt finds its
