quicklime (CaCO3) was spread over the pond bottom at a rate of 1 kg decimal-1. After three days of liming, all the ponds were filled with ground water to a depth of about 1.0 meter. Five days subsequent to liming, the ponds were fertilized by using cow dung at the rate of 5 kg decimal-1. Then after 5 days of fertilization, dipterex was sprayed on pond water at the rate of 0.5 ppm to eradicate harmful insects. And finally all the ponds were surrounded by fine meshed nylon nets fixed with locally available

growing biomass sources. Fourth generation biofuels are made from specially engineered plants or biomass that may have higher energy yields or lower barriers to cellulosic breakdown or are able to be grown on non-agricultural land or bodies of water. However, criticism falls on this solution, with the biofuels being pursued to reduce climate change impacts from energy consumption being relatively ineffective. Analysis of the carbon lifecycle associated with biofuels articulates that carbon

of the world’s most vulnerable nations when it comes to sustainability impacts of climate change. There are several low-lying coral islands which some are already suffering from disaster as the ocean waters have claimed much of their island. For instance, Kiribati only lying 6 meters above sea water, who knows what Kiribati’s future is. One of the affects of climate change is the social impact on towns. For example if Samoa was forced to leave to another island/home where they didn’t have coconut

measurements would be recorded and the designated amounts were added. Fabric Softener was observed to be toxic to the plants by inhibited height and flower production. Fabric softener biodegrades into salt in the soil, depriving the plant of adequate water and thus proving the toxicity of fabric softener to plant growth. Introduction: The effects of different amounts of Downey fabric softener were tested on Brassica Rapa to determine whether or not this certain fabric softener is environmentally

store. Also known as an air battery, a saltwater battery uses the positive and negative ions from salt in water to generate a small amount of energy, enough to power a small, low voltage light bulb. Metal electrodes can be fashioned from metal nails that are long enough to extend past the water line of the solution. B. Statement of the Problem II. Why does salt conduct electricity in Water? C. Significance of the Study III. Unfortunately, When we do this investigatory project, it can
