Turning Food Waste Back Into Food

     A group of scientists have found that fermented foods can boost bacteria and increase crop growth. After doing this, they have also descovered that it will make planst more resistant from pathogens which will reduce carbon emmisions. In this situation, they are using good kinds of bacteria from the fermented foods and waste. The scientists tested this experiment out first in a greenhouse, so they were preserved within a closed watering system area. A main point of their research was to creat a sustained cycle where the water was contained in a irrigation system while being added to the crop growth in order to complete it.


    I found this process to be incredibly intersting because they are using old food to create new food. I think that this is a good way for humans to use our non-renweable resources in order to create something that we need in order to live. It also just uses our wasted food that may have been trasted anyways, so it helps with not wasting as many things that us as humans may do at times. I think that all in all this process is going to help us in the future.

    I also find this discovery interesting, & I think that the most important part about it is the reduction in carbon emissions. We really need to be finding every way we can to cut back on our emissions, since it's been affecting the environment so negatively. If more people become aware of this & try this method themselves, we can make more progress in fixing the damage to the environment that has already been caused by humans.

      I think it is very cool how this process not only helps to reduce waste (by using it to grow new plants), but also helps to reduce carbon emissions. It is also very interesting how this process also helps to make plants more resistant to pathogens, as it could possibly be used to replace pesticides.

      I agree with Francine and Nolan. This discovery helps the world also with other people and things. The reduction of carbon emission is what Earth needs. Anything we do right now to help to reduce our carbon footprint.

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
