Conservation

I want to talk to you about endangered species around the world. There is a group of that have a website called Saving Species. They help with many animals including reptiles, spiders, and all kinds of animals in the ocean. 

Some of the endangered species in the ocean are mollusks which are creatures that have only a shell. The problem with their species is that there isn't any healthy numbers going on in their ecosystem. They rely on the Coral Reefs, but humans are polluting and over-fishing the reefs. Without the reefs, many species that live there will die. 

Many plants and animals are endangered in Madagascar. The reason for this is the forests. The forests are getting destroyed because of farmland. If it is not stopped, then all the species living there will disappear. Biodiversity is the most important thing that can help with that balance of forest and the people living there. 

Spiders are another endangered species that needs help in Australia. Only the rare spiders happen to be in Australia, but many of them are endangered today. We need to save them or else there will be an increase in insects which is a problem. We may not like spiders, but the insect's predator is in fact the spider. That's why it is big deal to save the spiders.

    I love that you picked a colorful article to base your blog off of and I love that it showed pictures of the animals that are endangered. And I agree with you on having animals anywhere on the planet is good for ecosystems like in your example with spiders. There would be an increase in annoying bugs and insects if the creepy spiders became extinct. Animals are just as helpful to our success as high tech machinery and technology.

    The farmland situation is going to happen everywhere. If you think about it, the farming here just keeps growing and they keep pushing down more and more woods down which then takes away places for the animals to live and also hide.

On Shaky Ground

By: Hannah Meadows The New Madrid fault line is a growing danger right under peoples feet. Most people don’t realize how catastrophic it would be if the fault line went off and the worst part… there is no telling when it will go off. Usually, earthquakes wouldn’t be an issue in places like California because all of their buildings are built to withstand earthquakes. However, the New Madrid fault line sits right along southern Missouri and Missouri is known for its sedimentary rock. This means an earthquake in Missouri would cause all buildings and houses to be buried since they aren’t built to withstand earthquakes. Now what would the statistics really look like if the New Madrid fault line were to go off unexpectedly?  84,000 buildings damaged and 37,000 more destroyed, almost entirely residences  Over 15,000 people killed and an additional 120,000 displaced Nearly 200 schools and over 100 fire stations would be damaged  37 hospitals and 67 police stations would be compl...

Energy: Hydropower Pros and Cons

Image
 Hydropower is not often talked about as a primary option for sustainable energy, however, 6.6% of energy produced in the U.S. is through hydropower, compared to solar energy which happens to only be 2.3% and is usually the first thought when someone mentions “clean energy.” The reason for this being the majority hydropower plants only give energy to large-scale, industrial operations.  Hydropower boasts a few positives that make it a viable option, those being that it is reliable, safe, and produces a very low amount of emissions. Other than that, they are fairly expensive to build, and they have a very realistic potential to cause droughts. Hydropower is an interesting source of energy and as of now it is only really used for industrial use, however in the future there is a very real possibility for it to be used to power residential areas.  https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/hydroelectric-energy-pros-and-cons#pros-and-cons

They called it a shrinking world because our technology is getting even better and better. Anyways going into the article there is a graph and a description of the burgeoning population of the globe. After it talk about this problem it gets into how this can help our food problem and how we are on our way to a new type of farming. It ends off with them giving numbers on there work with BI intelligence and how much money they made in 2020 and what they are projected to make in 2050.
