Taiwan Moves to Save their Beaches by Banning Plastic Bags and Straws

https://ladyfreethinker.org/taiwan-moves-save-beaches-banning-plastic-bags-straws/
Taiwan is now working on reducing the amount of plastic bag usage in hopes to eventually eliminate this over usage. The Environmental Protection Plan also includes other one time use products such as plastic cups, utensils, and containers. Taiwan is hoping that by 2030, there will be a prohibition against all these products but in the meant time they want to gradually lessen the usage of these products that pollute our environment. Not only is Taiwan reducing the usage of single use products, they're also keeping up with cleaning their beaches, studies on how to safely get rid of waste, and sea clean ups which are inspiring other nations to strive for a better environment.

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
