Migrating Monarch butterflies are in DANGER!

Monarch butterflies are in danger from the thing that they depend on most.  A new ornamental form of tropical milkweed is drawing the butterflies in and harming the next generation of monarchs.

This article was interesting to read. It was also surprising to see that all this harm is being caused by milkweed which they depend on most to continue their generations of monarchs to come. It is sad to see that these butterflies are being drawn in by tropical milkweed and then being harmed by it. The people that are continuing to buy and plant the tropical milkweed because they want the butterflies to come around because they think they are pretty are stupid. They should know that they are destroying a crucial and beautiful thing the Monarchs do.

    I agree that people should think about buying tropical milkweed and how they affect the Monarchs.

    This was interesting because I did not know that this much harm could be cause by milkweed.

    I've read before abour milkweed, but I disregarded it. I did not realize that it was that harmful. Hopefully the monarchs do not remain in danger.

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
