The sixth mass extinction: Blog post #2: Jenna Elliott

First I would like to give the definition of extinction. Extinction is the state or process of a family, species or a large group that decline or are declining in numbers. Now that everyone has an idea of what extinction is we can dive into more in depth information. Species that are on the planet now are becoming extinct 100 times faster than what they would if humans did not have an impact. The population of wild animals have almost more than halved since 1970. While the wild animal population has decreased the human population has doubled. This has only happened five times before in our planet's history.

    The information that you have provided is very interesting to me. When you look at it the way you have put it, it really opens your eyes and makes you realize that the world is decreasing every day. Even though we may not think about it some of the things that we do in our daily lives affect the wildlife and their extinction.

 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-...
