The World Is Running Out of Sand

In summary, the world's supply of sand is slowly diminishing, but there is hope, we have a machine that might just fix everything. This machine grinds up trash into very fine particles, like makeshift sand, to help with the decline. :)

This machine might just be helping us with pollution too. The machine takes trash, like glass bottles and such, grinds them down to very fine particles, and basically makes it sand. Sand is home to many important sea creatures so we can't run out of it. Sand is very vital in making things like glass as well. Sand houses crabs, hermit crabs, and help shelter fish in the ocean. Therefore we can't afford to lose it.

    This machine will be helping the environment in two ways. It will be giving sea creatures a home while keeping trash out of landfills.

    This machine will be very helpful towards the environment. It will also save us a lot of time because it collects trash as well.

    Hopefully the machine works and can help save sea creatures and help cause a decrease in pollution.

    Where is the article that explains about the machine. Heagerty & I saw a machine last year that does something that sound similar. Are they the same?

    I think the machines will be very useful and it will save wildlife.

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
