Here's How to Make the Sahara Desert Green Again



The installation of large solar and wind farms could increase the rainfall, vegetation, and clean energy in the world’s largest desert, the Sahara Desert. The expected increase of rainfall between 8 to 20 inches a year, if the farms were built, would cause the Sahara to no longer be classified as a desert. This will hopefully, in turn, stop the decade long expansion of the Sahara Desert. I feel that the installation of solar and wind farms is a good idea because it would cause the Sahara Desert to be able to be occupied by humans, animals, and plants. This makes the Earth more habitable and causes the environment to thrive. I find it very interesting that the Sahara Desert was once a place where people could survive, but turned into a very dangerous part of the Earth.

    I agree that this installation will be very beneficial for the whole planet, because, like you said, it will provide another habitat for more species where they can thrive.

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
