Every Day Matters: Guardian Stops Accepting Fossil Fuel Ads

The Guardian, a well known London newspaper, has stopped receiving advertisements from gas and oil companies.  The reason is that Guardian wants to get rid of any connection towards fossil fuels due to the negative effects it has on the climate.  This action has pushed for a difference by raising awareness about climate change and suggesting other media companies to do the same.  With the help of others, there may be a possibility in reducing climate change and stopping companies, like shell, that support fossil fuels.  This won't happen over night however, it is a good step in the right direction.

    I think this is a great start; I feel like in order to see future improvements, we need to start somewhere and that this can be a good first step. A lot of companies do not care about the environment if it will make them not able to appeal to other customers and they will put their business first, but with little companies and in this case, newspapers, ending their connections with these types of businesses, we are taking the right step forward.

    I'm glad that there's a company starting to try to make a difference in the world. There has been so much pollution and green house gas effect that has changed the the earth drastically. It's good to see that there are companies and people who want better our planet.

    I think this is an amazing start to see that companies care about the effects that they have on the environment and noticing the negative impacts their company has on the environment. Dealing with companies all they want to do is make a profit and they don't care about the chemicals that they are releasing into the air that we breathe and the permanent damage it has on the earth. It's reassuring that people want to bring awareness to climate change and want to create a solution to the problem.

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
