Orange You Glad For The Peel?


In 1997 an orange manufacturer named "Del Oro" began production in Costa Rica. As a result of production "Del Oro" covered a barren pasture in orange remains. This caused many rival companies to sue "Del Oro" for "defiling a national park". That is when Daniel Janzen and Winnie Hallwachs stepped in. Years after the defiling of the park Janzen and Hallwachs went back to the park and found out as a result of the orange remains the land was left richer than before. The orange remains saved the land.  This research can be used for future use to help our environment. I found this article interesting because saving the environment can be as easy as dropping your orange peel. I loved seeing the before and after pictures of the land once in ruins and now saved. Its a great article to read. To read the whole article click here !

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
