Young Activists Can Sue Government Over Climate Change, Supreme Court Says

This article was about young kids, the youngest being 11, having the ability to go to the Supreme Court about climate change. The activists claim they have just as much of a right as adults do to voice their opinion about climate change. They believe that because they have to live in the environment also, they should have the ability to do their part in changing climate change. There was a Supreme Court case that started in 2015 through which an Oregon citizen is trying to give children the same rights as adults in the decisions about climate change. The citizen said she is tired of the defendants playing people like they are games.
I think this sounds like a better idea than what it actually is. The idea is a great one, but we can't just put our Earth into children's hands because they want the same rights as adults. A lot of people want things but that doesn't necessarily mean they need them.

    I think this is amazing that a group of students came up with this case. I makes me feel better about our future to see that young people do care!

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
