twenty-four tons are produced largely due to my dorm. My dorm room accounts for twenty-one tons on its own. However, due to my reluctance to control the usage of air conditioning, three tons are produced this way as well. Efficient lighting reduces half a ton of emissions. In the driving and flying category, I produce zero tons due to no flights in the past year and I do not own a vehicle. Although occasionally eating organic food removes close to a ton of emissions, I create five tons of emissions

$31, totaling $18 per ton . After calculating all fees, the total company profit is $16.4 billion dollars. If we charge a 10% rate on total oil mined every year, we are left with a profit of $1.64 billion dollars. A major agricultural crop of Nigeria is the cocoa plant, leading as the world’s fourth largest producer of cocoa. Nigeria grows 380 thousand tons every year.

In 1943, the Allies decided to divide Germany into three zones. The US and Great Britain would split the western half of Germany and the Soviets would control the eastern half.

By reusing waste products, energy is saved and new materials are not wasted. According to the US Senate report Recycling one ton of office paper saves 17 trees, 463 gallons of oil, 7000 gallon of water, and removes 3 cubic yards of landfill space. Also the process of manufacturing one ton of recycled office paper can save 3000 to 4000 kilowatt hour a measure of electrical energy equivalent to a power consumption of 1,000 watts for 1 hour.) as opposed to
The cork-oak tree is the principal forest resource of Spain, and the annual production of cork, more than 110,000 metric tons in the mid-1980s, is second only to that of Portugal. The yield of Spain's forests is insufficient for the country's wood-pulp and timber needs. The fishing industry is important to the Spanish economy. The annual catch was about 1.5 million metric tons in 1990 and consisted primarily of tuna, squid, octopus, hake, sardines, anchovies, mackerel, blue whiting, and mussels.

However, various research studies have proven that electric vehicles are not that much better for the environment, in fact they worsen the environment. For example, according to
Globally, the estimated quantity of the waste generation was 12 billion tons in a year 2002 of which 11 billion tons were industrial wastes and 1.6 billion tons were municipal solid waste. About 90 billion tons solid wastes will expected to be generated annually by the year 2025. Annually, Asia alone generates 4.4 billion tons of solid wastes and municipal solid waste comprises 790 million tons of which about 48 million tons are generated in India. Currently, rapid industrialization and population
