Dead line is the 28.04.2015 Transforming travel Managing external influences Introduction We all make use of the services provided by transportation companies. For example, you will probably have caught the bus into town or travelled on a school bus or made an intercity journey by train. Some of you may have travelled on a super green energy-efficient tram or used a Park & Ride bus service

water industry. When looking at bottled water statistics, consumption has reached close to 185 million liters in 2007 and bottled water has become the second largest category of beverages consumed after soft drinks. Even with the current state of increased environmental vigilance, is apparent that bottled water is not going anywhere anytime soon. FIJI has been singled out in particular amongst bottled water companies for one of the things that made them a household name in the first place: where

the world points to the ways humans have caused climate change: the emission of excessive greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide from human industrial, residential and transportation sources into the earth’s atmosphere, exploding population causing a greater need for ever scarcer resources, and finally producing deforestation, pollution and a catastrophic loss of biodiversity of plants and animals. “We are dumping so much carbon dioxide into the Earth’s environment that we have literally changed

a thin spherical envelope of gases surrounding the earth’s surface. Its inner layer, the troposphere, contains the majority of the air that humans breathe. This consists of nitrogen, oxygen, and greenhouse gases. Examples of greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor. These elements assist in the reduction of heat flow back into the atmosphere which causes the natural greenhouse effect. This keeps the Earth warm enough to maintain life. According to Miller

people are causing the Earth’s climate to change. How might people be the cause of global climate change? Well, scientists have concluded that most of the observed warming is very likely due to the burning of coal, oil, and gas. About two hundred years ago, technology led to an increase in population which led to an increase in the use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. This increased consumption of fossil fuel led to huge amounts of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. (Hardy

responsible for global warming. Bill states it is due to Carbon dioxide and fossil fuels. Jane agrees, but believes the major issue comes from meat eaters’. Bill is confused, how can meat eaters be contributing to Global warming? Jane continues, every time you eat meat you have killed some part of the rainforest. Bill asks how can killing part of the rain Forrest, and eating meat, what are you talking about Jane. Jane is very emotional about how farmers, house and care for cows. Jane has done studies

levels will rise by seven meters and median air temperatures will soar to 14.5 degrees warmer than current day. These are the stunning results of climate and carbon cycle model simulations conducted by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. By using a coupled climate and carbon cycle model to look at global climate and carbon cycle changes, the scientists found that the earth would warm by 8 degrees Celsius (14.5 degrees Fahrenheit) if humans use the entire planet's available fossil
