Food Versus Biofuels: Environmental and Economic Costs
The rapidly growing world population and rising consumption of biofuels intensify demands for both food and biofuels. This exaggerates food and fuel shortages. The use of food crops such as corn grain to produce ethanol raises major nutritional and ethical concerns. Nearly 60% of humans in the world are currently malnourished, so the need for grains and other basic foods is critical. Growing cr...
متن کاملExcluding hooks and their complements
The celebrated Erdős-Hajnal conjecture states that for every n-vertex undirected graph H there exists ε(H) > 0 such that every graph G that does not contain H as an induced subgraph contains a clique or an independent set of size at least n. A weaker version of the conjecture states that the polynomial-size clique/independent set phenomenon occurs if one excludes both H and its complement H. We...
متن کاملEnvironmental and economic costs of soil erosion and conservation benefits.
Soil erosion is a major environmental threat to the sustainability and productive capacity of agriculture. During the last 40 years, nearly one-third of the world's arable land has been lost by erosion and continues to be lost at a rate of more than 10 million hectares per year. With the addition of a quarter of a million people each day, the world population's food demand is increasing at a ti...
متن کاملThe financial and environmental costs of reusable and single-use plastic anaesthetic drug trays.
We modelled the financial and environmental costs of two commonly used anaesthetic plastic drug trays. We proposed that, compared with single-use trays, reusable trays are less expensive, consume less water and produce less carbon dioxide, and that routinely adding cotton and paper increases financial and environmental costs. We used life cycle assessment to model the financial and environmenta...
متن کاملConcrete Debris Recycling, Environmental and Economic Effects
In this paper, first we identify the destruction ways of concrete constructions and the benefits of waste management and the plans to recycle the concrete debris were investigated and it was concluded that the existence of plans to recycle the concrete debris could lead to big economic save ups and by recycling these debris we can create affordable ways for concrete making centers. By the way, ...
