The Effects of Movies on the Environment

Recently, research has been done to show that watching movies may have a larger negative effect on the environment than we think. It may be obvious that using a car to go and rent a physical copy of a movie would take more energy than renting a movie by streaming it online. Although, streaming online isn't much better. Streaming actually uses as much energy as a 10 watt light bulb running for just over a week.

Either a new method of watching movies is needed to lower the crazy amounts of energy we are using every day, or the amount of movies watched needs to be lowered in one way or another. If this large amount of energy continues to be used everyday, the earth may become screwed even quicker than we expected.

    It's interesting to see that everything we do effects that world around us. At first glance it may seem strange to hear that movies have any affect on the environment, but when you take a closer look, it makes sense how using or watching anything that requires energy is going to have a negative impact on the environment. Especially considering how many people stream movies or shows a day.

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
