Green space helps mental health

With experts saying that being around a green environment and being outside more gives adults up to a 55% decreased chance to develop various mental health disorders down the line as adults. The study is mainly for the childhood of children and connecting it to more time outside leading to more exercise, healthier eating and less depression. Research has shown that even though the air pollution and global warming effects are showing it could lead to a happier life down the road.

My response to this is that being outside and with nature is more beneficial then sitting inside at home.

    This is really cool to think that the environment you spend your childhood in can affect you for the rest of your life.

    I never would have thought of this but it makes complete sense. People that live in areas of poor air quality and pollution generally seem more angry/depressed when people that live in clean air areas tend to be happier and more active.

    This is so cool that going outside and not being trapped inside the house on your phone all day actually has benefits. I think it is important for kids to understand this.

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
