Sea rise and storms on the Chesapeake Bay

  Global Warming is starting to make visible affects on our local environment. Sea levels are predicted to rise over 2 feet in the next 10 years. A lot of the land around the Chesapeake is very close to sea level so this is make a great impact on the coastlines.

    This is super interesting because my grandparents visit Chesapeake Bay very often. Two feet in 10 years seems really excessive and dangerous.

    I misread this as cheesecake at first. I don't think people understand that 10 years isn't that far away.

    It's important that we are aware this because some people should find a way to prepare for the extra 2 feet of water that will be in the Chesapeake Bay if they live near it.

College Shooting

Recently on the  UNC Charlotte campus 2 students were found dead and 4 injured, after shooter. The suspect, a male student, is in custody  now.  Officers are going room by room on campus to identify any students, faculty or others who may be sheltering in place. I think overall it is really scary because a shooting can happen anywhere and we never know when. Unfortunately  without increasing security, these shootings will continue to occur. https://abcnews.go.com/US/dead-injured-shooting-unc-charlotte-campus-officials/story?id=62739015

Plastic Eating Bacteria

Two high school senior girls in Vancouver have recently discovered a process that helps break down plastic. This process begins with solvent that dissolves the plastic, and then what is left over can be consumed by their newly developed bacteria. This bacteria was made to specifically eat phthalate, a material found in plastic that is hard to break down. Over in Japan at Kyoto University, they found a completely new bacteria species that eats plastics. There are also current studies on how meal worms can eat Styrofoam and plastic.  I believe that this could be a extremely beneficial discovery to the world. Being that all the plastic ever used is still floating around somewhere on earth either in landfills or oceans, although side effects are not yet known.   Learn about the bacteria here!
