Dogs Allowed in more State Parks

 With Covid-19 shutting nearly anything indoors down, many more people are enjoying nature. The number of people to visit state parks increased by almost 26% having more than 47 million people attending. With that being said, there have been many complaints about the restrictions on pets. A lot of people want to be able to bring their pet along with them as they are getting exercise, they can't get out much either. Because of that, pets will be permitted at 130 new sites in the year 2022. Now, pets will be allowed at 2,556 parks out of 6,277.

With the parks opening up more to animals, more people will be persuaded to go. Some people might prevent themselves from going to the parks that don't allow them because they don't know what they will do with their pets. The pets will be just as happy, if not happier, than the humans being out there. This is beneficial for everyone. The parts will get more funding from the more people that go; the parkgoers will feel more obligated to get out now that they won't have to leave their pet behind. Overall, this new expansion is a step in the right direction for 2021-2022.

    I think it's good that pets are starting to be allowed back. They are pretty much inside all day too, and they need to get out and enjoy nature.

    Like the comment above, animals have been stuck inside as well, and this is good for them. Being able to run around in a park will let dogs get rid of energy. Dogs will become happier and healthier with this outcome

    For people who are not comfortable around pets, there can be a day where pets aren't allowed. Overall, I think this is great! My dog loves going on family hikes.

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
