Understanding Global Warming and How It Affects You
The phenomenon known as global warming is already here and affecting us even as we speak. But many people are still ignorant of what this phenomenon is and how it affects even ordinary folk like you and me.
What Does the Term Carbon Offset Mean Exactly?
The term carbon offset means that you attempt to mitigate or reduce the effects of your emission of greenhouse gases by trying to do other activities which may have an equivalent value. For example, you might attempt to mitigate your carbon footprint or amount of carbon dioxide that you are responsible for producing because you own a private vehicle, by planting many, many trees in your community. To mitigate means you are offsetting your carbon emissions rather than reducing the degree to which you create carbon emissions in the first place.
When Do We Say Something is Energy Efficient?
Something is energy efficient if it uses energy efficiently. It can be used to refer to energy conversion efficiency which refers to the proportion between the amount of input of energy used in the system compared to the useful output. Useful output can mean either heat, mechanical power, or electrical power. Energy efficiency was brought to the attention of the average person on the street mainly because of the 1973 oil crisis.
