Preserving Water

It seems that lack of water is becoming a problem for many places where drought is possible. However the behavior of the people in these areas are changing. Many people who are informed of the water restrictions in Cape Town know that wasting water is terrible and can cause terrible problems for where they are living. But still there are those people who do not care. The writer of the article explains how in a bathroom at an airport they were visiting a man was at a sink running the water, wasting it. After telling the man to shut the water off, the writer was told to mind his own business.

This just makes me wonder how many people actually care about water. If it doesn't directly affect people I doubt that they really care, but it's hard to blame them. However, whats going to happen to those people who waste, when they live somewhere that has a drought and are unable to do simple things such as have drinking water from their tap.

    To believe that people can act like this with water where they can freely use it just disgusts me. With people around the world not actually having save water to drink unless in jugs and people do this here just is so disappointing. You would believe people would stay this as a warning and preserve the water then waste it.

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
