Deforestation and Ecological search engine :

About 43 million hectares of forest have disappeared enter 2004 and 2017. Deforestation is about the loss of forest surface to use this land to build something else and use the wood of the trees. Deforestation is very worrying because it threatens biodiversity.

This is the reason why, many ecological search engine has emerged like Ecosia or Lilo.

They have the same fonction of the famous search engine Google but they have for goal to preserve the environnement and protect the planet. The most important part of their profits are use for different causes, the main one being replant trees to fight against deforestation. The money obtained make it possible to reforest the planet. This ecologicals search engine support project of protection of animals and schooling campains too. Sometimes, it could even be the internet user who choose where his donation will go.

Our Bees in Danger.
On earth, most of our fruits and vegetables are accessible through the pollination of bees.
Nowadays, pesticides are becoming more common and more harmful, and these pesticides are killing the bee population.
Unfortunately, without bees, the flowers we love so much, the fruits we eat every day, are present thanks to our bees.
Without them, the vegetation, the scent, and the color will dissolve with them.
Let's react quickly and stop the harmful products.
80% of our plant species also use pollination for their survival, reproduction and evolution. The gradual disappearance of bees therefore poses serious problems of biodiversity of plants and flowers present in our territory, but also economic problems.
Neonicotinoid pesticides act at very low doses on the central nervous system of bees. When they are too weak to kill them directly, these exposures alter their sense of direction, their ability to learn or even their reproductive capacity.
In short, let's help our bees to help us

Stopping pesticides becomes essential, in fact, because of pesticides several species die including bees. Bees are endangered insects because of pesticides.
However, without bees, plants, flowers and fruits die.

The fashion industry emits more carbon than international flights and maritime shipping combined.

As consumers worldwide buy more clothes, the growing market for cheap items and new styles is taking a toll on the environment. On average, people bought 60% more garments in 2014 than they did in 2000, but they only kept the clothes for half as long. Fashion production makes up 10% of humanity's carbon emissions, dries up water sources, and pollutes rivers and streams. In Europe, fashion companies went from an average offering of two collections per year in 2000 to five in 2011.

85% of all textiles go to the dump each year. The equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes is burned or dumped in a landfill every second. And washing some types of clothes sends thousands of bits of plastic into the ocean.

Now, the desert’s cave ecosystems and energy companies could be on a collision course. The Trump Administration, in pursuit of its “energy dominance” agenda, leased to oil and gas firms thousands of sinkhole-prone acres that most probably harbor caves. Some parcels are among the most geologically fragile ever offered for industrial use, which is why they hadn’t been leased yet. Little is understood about the fissure-ridden subterranean landscape that makes up the one-million-acre karst region, making it difficult to comprehend all that’s at stake.

A National Geographic investigation found that the Trump Administration’s push to open these public lands for energy exploration puts Carlsbad Caverns, scores of other caves in New Mexico, and aquifers that supply drinking water to tens of thousands of homeowners at risk of contamination.

What’s more, the threat to the region’s unique cave ecosystems and aquifers isn’t likely to recede during President Joe Biden’s administration.

As he promised during his campaign, Biden on January 27 paused new oil and natural gas leasing on federal lands, in order to undertake a “comprehensive review “of the nation’s fossil fuels program. The pause only affects new development, however. It does not stop companies from drilling on existing leases, and it allows agencies to continue to approve permits for additional drilling there.

Even before Biden delivered his promised moratorium, conservationists who consider it insufficient filed a lawsuit on January 21 seeking to overturn the Trump Administration’s sale of more than one million acres of public lands in the west for energy exploration, including acreage in southeastern New Mexico.

Oil, considered during its time of glory as "black gold", is no longer in the smell of holiness. Fossil energy is extremely polluting and threatens the ecological and environmental balance of the planet. This is why it has become vital to find greener alternatives to oil.

Global warming threatens the environment and life on Earth. One of the causes of this disruption is oil. Oil is not the only source of energy, but it is the main source of energy used in the world. A non-renewable energy that pollutes at all stages of its existence: extraction, manufacture, use, storage...

Protect polar bears, use your bike !

Global oil consumption has exceeded 95 millions barrels per day in the world, one barrel equals 159 liters.

Over oil consumption produce a lot of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, and global warming creates melting ice.

Polars bears lives only on the pack ice around the North Pole, at the edge of the Arctic Ocean. Because of global warming and melting ice, this species is vulnerable.

Reduce transports, use your bikes !

Permafrost, soil that is permanently frozen, is found primarily in the high latitudes of our planet. But with global warming, it is going to thaw. That would be catastrophic, because permafrost content tons of carbon dioxyde and especially methan, which is more dangerous than carbon dioxyde. In fact, methan act for greenhouse effect for at least 20 years !

The giant panda is usually depicted peacefully eating bamboo, which adds to its image of innocence. Indeed, although classified among carnivores, this animal feeds mainly on plants. Mostly white in color, with black ears, legs and eye area, its thick coat protects it from the cold of the high altitude regions where it lives.

Habitat loss and fragmentation

Since the 1950s, the explosion in human demography has generated increasing deforestation linked to the development of mining activities, the construction of large dams, roads, housing and railways, the increase in agricultural areas, the collecting medicinal plants and firewood. As a result, the panda's range is shrinking.

Due to the disappearance and fragmentation of their habitat, giant pandas have more and more difficulty to migrate, an essential natural process, in particular to find a partner for reproduction and thus promote genetic exchanges, but also for the young. who seeks to establish his own territory after separation from his mother, or for the search for alternative food sources in the case of massive dieback episodes of mature bamboo forests, almost exclusive food of Chinese plantigrade.

The consequences are dramatic: insufficient genetic mixing between sub-populations, consanguinity, reduced resistance to diseases, lower adaptability to environmental changes, famines during the mass flowering of bamboos, etc.

Environmental reasons:

New research has found that almost half of the food waste in the average rubbish bin could have been composted.  You can do your bit to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill or other more costly forms of treatment by composting your food and garden waste at home.
Benefits for your garden:

Your compost is a nutrient-rich food product for your garden and will help improve soil structure, maintain moisture levels, and keep your soil's pH balance in check while helping to suppress plant disease. It will have everything your plants need including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and it will help buffer soils that are very acidic or alkaline. Compost improves your soil's condition and your plants and flowers will love it!

Every year, around 10 million hectares of forests are destroyed, making way for activities like cattle pasture, palm oil plantations, soy fields or roads. Most of this is happening in tropical regions, where there is a particularly rich variety of life.

Even larger areas are suffering from degradation – where the forest remains, but its richness and health is in decline. Threats include illegal and unsustainable logging, overharvesting of wood for fuel and charcoal, small-scale farming, hunting, forest fires, and pests and diseases.

All this threatens the survival of countless species, fuels climate change, jeopardizes people’s livelihoods and undermines the vital services that forests provide.

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Geothermal energy is a sustainable energy resource. The utilisation of the Conventionals such as coal, oil, and natural gas pollutes the environment drastically as they emit COZ, CO, NO, SO2, dust and soot. Geothermal energy is considered to be environmentally friendly. Utilisation of any energy resource affects the environment. However, the negative effects of the Renewables are less than those of the Conventionals.

A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation planted over a waterproofing membrane. Container gardens on roofs, where plants are maintained in pots, are not generally considered to be true green roofs, although this is debated. Rooftop ponds are another form of green roofs which are used to treat greywater. Vegetation, soil, drainage layer, roof barrier and irrigation system constitute green roof.

Green roofs serve several purposes for a building, such as absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating a habitat for wildlife, increasing benevolence and decreasing stress of the people around the roof by providing a more aesthetically pleasing landscape, and helping to lower urban air temperatures and mitigate the heat island effect. They effectively use the natural functions of plants to filter water and treat air in urban and suburban landscapes.

I read an article and it talks about water pollution :

Water pollution is one the main environmental issues that we are facing, as more than 70% of the Earth’s surface is water-covered.

What is waterpollution?

Water pollution can be defined as the contamination of a stream, river, lake, ocean or any other stretch of water, depleting water quality and making it toxic for the environment and humans.

There are two types of water pollution :

1.Organic pollution due to microorganisms - bacteria and viruses - present in the water, generated by excrement, animal and vegetable waste

2.Chemical pollution generated by the nitrates and phosphates of pesticides, human and animal drugs, household products, heavy metals, acids and hydrocarbons used in industries.

What are the sources of water pollution?
Human activity is primarily responsable for water pollution, even if natural phenomenon - such as landslides and floods - can also contribute to degrade the water quality.

In order to save the water like ocean, lake, etc... you shouldn't continue to throw trash !

To stop the marine polution, here's a list of things to change:

- Stop dumping our waste in the sea.
-respect the animals that live there.
- Don't put them in aquariums, or in aquatic park.
- Keep our beaches clean, trash will always end up in the sea.
- Islands disappear, and islands of waste appear.
- Animals die of the waste we have put in their place of life, this is not ok.

If we all together try to change things, results will appear, and marine species may also come back, let's stop pollution for them.

The distance from Ohio to the Arctic Circle is around 3,600 miles.

For a lot of us, something taking place 3,600 miles away seems small, it may even seem too small to care about. But the distance we are from something should not stop us from taking action.

The Arctic is in great danger due to the effects of climate change and global warming. The ice is disappearing at an extremely fast pace and if we do not work together as a world to help it now, we may not be able to catch up to the rate at which it is melting.

The World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) has found that: "We are losing Arctic sea ice at a rate of almost 13% per decade, and over the past 30 years, the oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic has declined by a stunning 95%."

This is something that needs to be taken seriously due to the lack of time. The WWF and several other associations have been fighting this issue for quite some time and they have found that the worst is yet to come. That is, if we do not all take action.

Every decade is hotter than the last, even if it is only by a fraction of a degree. This is unnoticed by most, but the effects of it are unbelievably prominent to some and specifically, the species of the Arctic. The polar bear is one of those species.

Our mascot at Jackson Local Schools is listed as vulnerable and struggling to keep their numbers up. The WWF stated: "Because of ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change (the primary threat to polar bears Arctic-wide) polar bears were listed as a threatened species in the U.S. under the Endangered Species Act in May 2008."

The polar bear population is predicted to decrease by 30% by 2050. Along with bears, there are hundreds of other animals and plants that call the Arctic home and are also struggling to survive. Such as the arctic fox, ringed seals, beluga whale and Pacific walruses.

Luckily, we are living in a time where helping situations like this is available at our fingertips, even if we are 3,600 miles away. There are a few ways in which you can take action. The first being through donations.

I have created a GoFundMe in which all funds acquired will be going to the World Wildlife Fund to help in its fight to save the Arctic. Specifically adopting polar bears and gathering equipment. Any amount of money will be greatly appreciated. (Donate by typing this exact link into your search browser: https://gofund.me/faab48c5).

Another way to help is through signing petitions. Sadly, parts of the Arctic are being sold for oil drilling and signing petitions will stop this from happening in Arctic refuge areas. (This is a great petition to sign: http://chng.it/vnRcbGkcM5.)

Along with this, hunting polar bears is legal in several locations. Hunting decreases this species' population by around 900 per year. Speaking up about this awful action, and signing petitions fighting it, is a very fast and simple way to take action. (https://www.change.org/p/the-canadian-government-stop-the-legal-slaughter-of-polar-bears-bytrophy-hunters.)

The last and easiest way to help out is simply spreading the word. Telling your friends and family or sharing this on social media will go a long way. Thank you for taking the time to read and learn about this topic. The polar bears and I appreciate it greatly.
