Million acres of trees lost in Brazil

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/04/three-million-acres-brazil-rainforest-lost/

It talks about how deforestation is causing millions of acres to be lost. Its not just deforestation its also mines that are a leading problem. This isn't good because Brazil doesn't have a huge forest but it has a big enough one where if everything is cut down it could be a huge problem.

    Forests like these house thousands of different species of organism and losing just small parts of it has devastating effects on the ecosystem. It's sad to think that if we keep going the pace that we are that most forests could be gone in a matter of decades.

    I did not know mines were a factor as well

    deforestation is killing millions of animals and over a couple thousand of different species that live in the amazon and this needs to stop bacause there will be a major amount of extinction of many animals and it killing all the trees from mining will limit the amount of animals that are able of living in the forest.

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
