This book tells us how by 2050, we will probably have used all the world's oil and that 90% of our energy is fossil fuel. It explains how we use energy for transport, in industry, at school and at home, and how that energy causes air pollution and health problems. This book examines the environmental concerns of this issue, and examines what is being done to improve the situation, and it also suggests some solutions.
Discusses efforts to save the environment through recycling and waste management.
Describes northern, temperate, and tropical forests, the problems of preserving them, and their future prospects.
Describes the availability and uses of various fuels including petrol, diesel, gas, wood, and coal, and discusses the future prospects of these as power resources.
This book explains how environments are affected by human interference as well as the benefits people gain by exploiting their environments. Most of the energy we use comes from burning fossil fuels, which cause pollution and are running out fast. By 2050, we will probably have used up all of the world's oil and most of its natural gas. But, if we act now, there is time to develop clean, renewable fuels for the future.
