Tons of Golf Balls Rotting Off California

Link

As the golf balls continue to rot they emit toxic chemicals into the water. Fifty thousand golf balls ended up in the garbage because of Weber and her father. All of the golf balls stank when they were taken out of the water. As they were collecting the golf balls more golf palls ended up in the ocean because of the golfers. They can have a small impact on the ocean because of the toxins but as the golf balls degrade or if anything plastic degrades, the marine animals can eat it and that would cause a massive impact.

    Time to create some biodegradable golf balls...but wait people already have! Boom now its time for golf courses to switch and encourage their golf players to do so too.

    It's sad to see that our environment has become the way that it is with all the issues that occur but it's part of life and without it we wouldn't be able to learn or adapt in the way that we should. However, no matter how big or small the impact is at that moment, we should always be cautious of what it could later become.

    People need to think more about then environment and even if it is more money it could help in the long run because it would be best for the environment

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
