Plastic Bags that dissolve in water

Somewhat piggy backing off of my last post, these plastic bags are able to dissolve in water. Not only is this very cool and interesting, but also it is safe to drink, making the ability to get rid of plastic bags even more convenient in the case that people make the switch

In my opinion, the only downfall is the price, they are very expensive as of right now, running at about 15 dollars for a pack of bags, however if the price drops people may make the switch.

    This is a really nice idea in order to get rid of a lot of plastic in the ocean. My only worry would be that there may be tiny remnants that are unable to be dissolved.

    This is a great idea! I believe some people will pay the extra price for these bags.

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
