Giraffe species Alexander Blase

 In today's society, we know that the US imports and exports but this is not good to the giraffe population. The giraffe population is becoming critically endangered. 40 percent of the giraffe population has dropped and only 69,000 remain today. The US uses giraffe parts for things like their bones, trophies, and many other parts. In order for the US to stop importing and selling giraffe parts, it needs protection to stops the trade of giraffe parts.

    Thank you for choosing such an important topic to write about because it will inform others about this issue and hopefully draw others in to help save them.

    I think you did a really good job on your blog. You had a lot of interesting and important information in it. I did not realize that giraffes were endangered. It is very sad to know that people use giraffe parts for things.

    This topic needs to be expose more to everyone because this is not okay at all. The endangerment of giraffes is something I didn’t know about until now and I hope we do something to put an end to this.

    This is an very interesting blog. I think you did a very good job on picking your information for it. The topic is truly good. Giraffe is endangered specie and if we want to continue to see them, we have to pay attention of what we do.

    I really like the information that you presented in your blog post. I’m very surprised that the giraffe population has dropped to only 69,000. I also enjoyed the article that you shared as well, I think it talked about some good information and presents ways that we can increase conservation efforts for these animals.

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
