This is exactly how the earth will look in the future. Why because we as humans do not know how to take care of the planet and we keep on making it worse and worser as the years pass. First thing that is ruining our planet is us trying to farm like crazy and using our soil and ground throughout the entire year and year in and year out. Second thing that we are putting out so much toxic chemicals into our atmosphere and that is making the planet hotter and hotter thus making it more and more unsafe. Third thing that is happening is that we do not know how to properly dispose of our trash and that is hurting our environment badly which is a horrible thing. Fourth and final thing is that we are just overpopulating our planet and that brings along other problems like famine, war, poverty, and many other problems along with it.

Today there are at least 120 important drugs derived from plants in use in one or more countries in the world. Discover some of the common drugs and medications which are derived from plants.

Caffeine - used to treat fatigue and migraines - Coffee beans, tea leaves, cacao pods, kola nuts and garana

Caffeine is found in multiple plants and is used in many medicinal and every day products. According to Chinese legend, the Chinese emperor Shennong discovered the curative powers of caffeine when he realised dropping tea leaves into boiling water created a restorative drink in around 3000 BCE. Kola nuts were traditionally chewed in West African cultures to reduce the feeling of hunger and increase energy. Cacao pod residue was first found in an ancient Mayan pot, whilst chocolate derived from cacao beans was also use to create a spicy drink called xocolatl which fought fatigue.

The first people to harvest coffee beans for their energising properties were the Ethiopian ancestors of the Oromo people, but caffeine wasn't isolated from coffee beans until 1819 when a German chemist, Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge, researched the plant. Caffeine today is used to relieve the symptoms of a migraine, but most commonly is still enjoyed as an energising ingredient in food and drinks (who doesn't need a cuppa on a Monday morning?)

Aspirin - used for pain relief and anti-clotting - Willow Bark ( Salix)

Salicylic acid, which is a key component of aspirin, was first described by the father of medicine Hippocrates who referred to a white powder derived from willow bark which alleviated the symptoms of aches, pains and fevers. In 1763, Edward Stone at Oxford was the first chemist to isolate the active ingredient and it has since been used in medicine both for it's analgesic and anti-clotting properties.

There are many different varieties of willow tree and the bark of each carries a different potency of salicylic acid. Aspirin is created by a chemical reaction between salicylic acid and acetic acid, which is the main component of vinegar apart from water.

Cocaine - used for anaesthesia and illegal recreation - Coca plant ( E rythroxylon coca)

Cocaine was first discovered by the ancient Incas in the Andes, South America, when the leaves of the Coca plant were chewed. The Incas believed it gave them energy and strength but when the Spanish colonised the Americas they declared the practice of chewing was in the work of the Devil. However, after realising the claims of the Incas were true, the Spanish legalised chewing and taxed the leaf, taking a 10% cut from each crop.

Cocaine was first isolated from the leaf of the Coca plant when it was successfully transported from the Americas to Germany where chemist Friedrich Gaedcke extracted the alkaloid erythroxyline. The purification process gradually improved over the years until cocaine became used an an anaesthetic, as studies on frogs revealed the drug reduced sensation. The drug is still used medicinally but is also now one of the most popular recreational drugs, with London being the cocaine capital of Europe.

Digitalis - used to treat arrhythmia - Foxglove ( Digitalis purpurea)

Digitalis, or digoxin, was discovered in 1775 by Scottish doctor William Withering when a dying patient of his sought alternative treatment from a local gypsy and got better. William Withering realised the gypsy had used a herbal remedy containing a variety of components including foxglove, and extracted the active ingredient digitalis.

First we constant by explaining what is the Neolithic Revolution. This was the introduction of the idea of permanent settlement. Now with that being said we can move onto how did it effect the human population? First it helped the human population grow as a whole since people where able to start to settle and make homes. Second people were able to make villages which in turn turned into towns and those towns turned into cities. Third reason is that it helped formed a social life for everyone within those villages, towns, and cities. Last but not least fourth reason is that hunters were able to start to farm and plant and grow food so they were not so dependent on just the food they were able to gather on a hunt.

Hands down the most dangerous biome in the world is the desert biome. This is why there is a picture of the desert here. First reason that the desert is very dangerous is that the climate there is very very hot and you can easily die if you are not careful and stay hydrated. Second reason is that the desert biome is a very vast and giant biome you could roam around in there for days and get lost and eventually die. Third reason is that there are very dangerous animals that live within the desert and they are snakes, scorpions, spiders, and centipedes and many more. Fourth reason is that you could die from falling and being buried by sand sometimes the sand shifts and changes in a matter of seconds and then it is all over for you.

the first reason I chose this picture is because plants to us is basically the lungs of the earth. second reason being that plants absorb all of the carbon dioxide from earth which helps us and the atmosphere. third reason I chose this picture is because without plants we would not be able to make medicine because one quarter of the medicine we make is made from plants. fourth reason I chose this picture is because all of our food is pretty much from plants so we need plants to survive and also helps us feed our livestock as well. and last but not least I chose this picture because plants help with keeping our dirt and all of that from eroding and loosing the good soil for farming.
