Smartphones could damage the Environment

Our cell phones are the best thing to be during our day in age. With the technology we have anything can be looked up in an instant or the sharing of a picture around the world. A study was released that our smartphones will be the most damaging technology to the environment by 2040.  To thing about this can actually seem scary, the environment is already damaged in our time how much more damaged can be done by 2020 or even 2040. How much more damage can be created by this time till people actually realize we are killing our only home for not only us, but our future generations.

    It's a shame that we haven't had enough information to be able to determine long term effects of new inventions that we've made, before we've handed them out to almost everyone on the planet. Hopefully with this information though we will be able to take action and fix the problem at hand, before it gets any worse.

    If we are aware that our cell phones will be the most damaging technology by 2040 then we should try and come up with a conclusion or another way to communicate with less harm to the environment.

    I find it interesting how so many articles point things similar to this out, yet nobody is willing to give up their smartphones to prevent these effects from happening to the environment.

    We should try and come up with a conclusion to avoid the damage with the use of cell phones in 2040. If we can try can stop it before it happens we would be saving the planet from more damage.

    It's weird that we rely on our cell phones so much, yet it could hurt the environment. I believe we will come out with an alternate source of communication other than cell phones by 2040 however.

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
