...Fuel from the Fields Charcoal Fuel from the Fields charcoal is an inexpensive, clean-burning, environmentally friendly alternative cooking fuel that is made from agricultural waste materials and thus does not lead to deforestation. This instruction sheet explains how to make Fuel from the Fields charcoal; the process can and should be adapted to your local environment. We encourage you to experiment and let us know your results (you can email us at charcoal@mit.edu) 1 Elements for making Charcoal The main step in making Fuel from the Fields charcoal is carbonization, which requires three things: dry organic material (also called biomass), heat, and control of the amount of oxygen. The biomass may be any of a variety of agricultural waste materials including: corncobs, sugarcane waste (bagasse), millet stalks, groundnut shells, palm leaves or bamboo. It must be very dry in order to burn properly. The heat is generated by setting the biomass on fire, and the oxygen-free environment is created by sealing the drum with sand or soil. The carbonized material is then crushed, mixed with a binder, and then made into briquettes. Biomass Heat Oxygen Control 2 1. Preparing the Kiln A 55 gallon oil drum can be used as a kiln to make charcoal Cut a large opening for filling Cut several holes in the the kiln with the material you bottom of the drum. These want to carbonize. holes allow air to flow through the drum while burning, which results in a hotter fire...

...Name Professor Course Date Toxicity of make ups Makeup is a term used by many people to refer to substances applied to one’s body in the name of beauty. However, make-ups are widely used mostly by ladies aged between 12 and 34 years. There are however two types of makeups that is toxic make-ups and organic makeups. Toxic makeups are made of chemical compositions while organic makeups are believed to be from either plants or any other natural organism. Toxic make-ups are dangerous and prohibited in many countries due to their effects. Below, is a discussion as to why the US should have stronger regulations and strategies it would implement to ensure that the use of toxic make-ups should be highly banned (Baker, 2008). Just as too much exposure to bright light leads to future eyesight problems, make ups has the same effect on people using them in their future lifetime. People use make-ups to their bodies, with the aim of beautifying their faces and acquiring body shapes of their choices. People don’t focus on the future life but instead focus on the immediate beauty need. To start with, many women in The US apply these toxic make ups to their body when young. In their old days, these grand people suffer from skin diseases where they are later taken to government hospitals after their families get tired of taking care of them. When such an incident happens, the government spends a lot of time and money taking care of these old people. They would need special care where they...

Maurer Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering Santa Clara University Santa Clara, CA 95053 EMaurer@scu.edu Dr. Steven Chiesa Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering Santa Clara University Santa Clara, CA 95053 SChiesa@scu.edu Abstract – Water treatment technologies in the developing world typically focus on removing two types of impurities from water sources: suspended solids and microbial pathogens. However, as industrialization and high-input agriculture has expanded into the developing world, chemical impurities such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers have found their way into drinking water supplies and have been linked to severe health-related issues. Activated carbon has the capacity to remove these problematic chemicals from water sources. A simple, inexpensive, and effective activated carbon production process using local agricultural waste byproducts was assessed for the community of Bluefields, Nicaragua. Coconut shell charcoal was produced on site, and various chemical activation techniques were investigated. The adsorption capacity of three separate chemically activated coconut shell charcoals was analyzed, with sodium chloride—common...

...INTRODUCTION Nowadays, tourism is the world’s largest industry. Tourism is a major area of academics, government, industry and public concerns. The rapid pace of tourism growth and development, the nature of tourism and the corresponding absence of single agency responsibility for tourism – related development have often meant the public sector responses to the impacts of tourism on destination have been ad hoc, rather than predetermined strategy oriented towards to developing objectives. Tourism Planning and development at all levels is essential for achieving successful tourism development and management. The experiences of many tourism areas in the world has demonstrated that, on a long-term basis, the planned approach to developing tourism can bring benefits without significant problem, and maintain satisfied tourist markets.. Places that have allowed tourism to develop without the benefit of planning are often suffering from environment and social problems. These uncontrolled tourism areas cannot effectively complete with planned tourist destination wherelse. We are the fourth year students of Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas taking up Bachelor of Science in International Travel and Tourism Management from 4B have a planned to develop an Eco-Park in the Municipality of Lemery, where we will construct recreational activities which are suitable for touth camps, families and also for the admitting tourist who are ventured in those outside...
