Alaska Youth Environmental Group Strives to Regulate Gas Emissions


Article

The amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the environment are proliferating and something must be done about it. Teenagers in Alaska created a petition in favor of regulating the greenhouse gas emissions. However, the politicians are not taking it as seriously as they should be because they just have their own interests in mind. The negative impacts that these gases have on humans and the planet are rapidly worsening. Action must be taken in order to stop the damage from occurring and extend the amount of time that people can safely inhabit Earth.

    I think Alaskan youth taking action and recognizing the seriousness of this issue is a great step in motivating the younger generation to be environmentally conscious, as well as contribute to making necessary improvements.

    I agree. The first step in solving environmental issues, especially greenhouse gas emissions, is to educate others about the effects. By the youth taking initiative, they are educating the public, so hopefully change will occur eventually.

    I think it's important for younger people to get more involved in the issues with environment. Politicians only worry about themselves even though they aren't going to be around long enough to deal with the consequences they caused.

    This is great that youth are getting involved in this issue. They know the problem and are trying to get others aware as well. Get people knowing about it more an it will grow. Its an issue we must start changing now.

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
