Conservation/Extinction - Makenna Pontalion


Every year people within communities around the world get together to celebrate and make awareness about endangered species through their town and the world. The people who are responsible for making this holiday know are the network of conservation. There are many reasons that they put on this event. but it is mainly put on in order to make aware of what species are going extinct and how people can help out. I never knew that this was a type of holiday but I think that it is very cool to see that there are people who are actually trying to make the world better. This organization is one way that people are truly trying to stop extinction.

    I found you post very interesting. I never knew there was a holiday for endangered species. I too feel hopeful knowing that there are people trying to make a difference.

    I’m glad to hear that people are trying to make a difference about what people are doing. I like how they hold an event to make people aware of what species are going extinct.

    This is such a great thing for the world, as we should be trying to help the species in our world. I didn't even know that this holiday/event was a thing until reading your article, but I am very glad to hear.

Natural Resources- Over-exploitation Effect on Wildlife Blog #8

The over-exploitation of natural resources  has a significant impact on our wildlife. Not only have we been neglectful towards ourselves and the environment but, we have also been extremely neglect towards  the different wild life that dwell in the environment and depend on it. In the article it states, "They found the over-exploitation, including logging, hunting, fishing, and the gathering of plants is the biggest single killer of biodiversity, directly impacting 72 percent of the 8,688 species listed as threatened or near- threatened by the IUCN." For example, the Sumatran Rhino and African elephant are being illegally hunted and killed. Actions such as well managed protected areas, enforcement of hunting regulations, and managing agricultural systems in ways that allow threatened species to persist within them, all have a major role to play in reducing the biodiversity crisis.

Energy/ Technology for Recycling

  https://www.plasticsmakeitpossible.com/plastics-recycling/what-happens-to-recycled-plastics/6-innovative-technologies-boost-plastics-recycling/ Another key factor I believe is important for the Technology side of economics, is the use of recycling and different methods we have to use.  One use of technology we have to use is a quick learner, this is a machine for example like one by the name of Clarke that organizes and sorts trash to landfills and products that can be sorted and determined to be used for recycling. This use of technology helps lower the amount of garbage being stockpiled at these landfills that slowly but surely pollute our atmosphere and damage the ecosystem for not only us on land but the ocean wildlife.  Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) account for two-thirds of our plastics we use, and recyclers typically separate them for recycling. But researchers say that adding a special polymer to used PE and PP can create a tough new plastic that’s ea...

Salt/Blog8

In this blog we will discuss salt, it may seem like it’s another minor contributor to our society but it is actually very significantly. There are 12 version of salt and we use them all very differently some we use in industry and some we use in food. The most common one we know is table salt which is a naturally occurring mineral that all animals need. Salt is very crucial to our health.  The sodium in salt is also essential for nerve function, regulation of fluids in or body, and regulation of our body’s control of blood pressure and volume. Some other uses for salt are for preservative for things like meat packing, sausage making, or fish curing. They can also use salt as a seasoning whenever they package the meats off. In the chemical industry they use salt to manufacture baking soda, chlorine, hydrochloric acid, and other chemicals. Salt is very abundant in our society and our ecosystem, it would surprise how much is in our everyday life. Here’s an example of one we all know o...
