1 Million Species Are at Risk of Extinction

With up to one million animals at risk for extinction due to human activity we have to act soon. Some of activity's we're doing to cause the risks are such as over consumption, illegal poaching, deforestation and fossil fuel emissions. With nature losing clean air and by 2050 there will be more plastic then fish in the sea due to European countries dumping plastics in the ocean the extinction for fish could come sooner then later.

 My reaction to this is that we need to take care better care of the world before something bad actually does happen.

    I think it is really important to take care of the world because once a species goes extinct, we will lose out on having diversity among organisms. I agree that we need to take better care of the world before it is too late.

    Its hard to think that humans can do such a thing to their planet. We all need to take care of the world in order to survive on it. Its also very scary to think that 2050 is only 21 years away...

    Dumping plastic in the ocean is a terrible thing to do and must be stopped. Ocean life is at risk by dramatically changing their environment and introducing more dangers. This can lead to a huge loss of biodiversity.

    What we are doing to our planet is a terrible thing and needs to be stopped. We are killing the planet and the species on it due to our actions. We need to begin to do things to help stop it before it is too late.

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
