Environmental Resources Blog#2


Continuing to further my search about environmental resources, I have found a news article that pertains to an accelerated drought of the Estero Balasa Beach in the Dominican Republic. In the article it states;“It is worrying that in the face of the continuous drought of this important resource, no intervention has been carried out despite the continuous demands to intervene with feasible solutions to prevent the disappearance of this important environmental resource.

Being that the Estero Balasa Mongrove area is not being positively intervened in order to keep the environment and the species living in that environment alive, they are experiencing a significant drought that negatively impacts the ecosystem as well as all the many people who depend on this ecosystem as their main source of food.

It also states in the article,“Many species of fish also feed there, including shad and snappers, and most importantly, because they have thick vegetation and are rich in organic matter, the mangrove area in the ecosystem provides food for everyone,” Valenzuela said.

 Electric and Hybrid Vehicles     More and more we see ads for hybrid or full electric vehicles, which could be one of the best things we could do for this earth. One of the biggest sources of our own carbon footprint is the vehicles we drive, the fuel we use are drastically depleting our supply of fossil fuels. These fully electric and hybrid cars are great stepping stones to reduce the amount of fossil fuels we use, by going electric we can use the energy produced by the sun to charge these vehicles making driving an overall cleaner daily task. Hybrid cars are both battery powered and use gasoline but in a smaller quantity than an all gas powered car. The further we get into the future the more we see different car companies and brands putting out hybrid or fully electric cars and soon to come trucks.      For more information regarding electric and hybrid vehicles visit:  https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/hybrid-vs-electric-cars-how-they-...
