The evolutionary journey of Miami's public transit system reflects a dynamic response to the city's changing landscape and growing population. Beginning with the introduction of streetcars in the early 20th century, Miami's transit system has undergone a series of transformations. The expansion of highways in the mid-20th century led to a temporary decline in public transit usage, but the 1980s saw the launch of Metrorail, a rapid transit system, aiming to address the city's increasing traffic congestion. Over the years, the Miami-Dade Transit Agency has implemented innovative solutions such as the Metromover, a free automated people mover system, and introduced bus rapid transit routes to enhance accessibility. Despite facing challenges such as funding constraints and urban sprawl, the evolution continues with ongoing efforts to integrate emerging technologies and improve connectivity, reflecting a commitment to creating a more efficient and sustainable transit system for the diverse and dynamic communities of Miami.

Miami's public transit system has navigated a complex journey marked by both milestones and struggles. Significant milestones include the establishment of the Miami-Dade Transit Agency in 1960, which laid the foundation for coordinated public transportation efforts. The introduction of Metrorail in 1984 marked a major achievement, providing a rapid transit option for commuters. However, the system has also faced struggles, notably the decline in ridership during the automobile-centric boom of the mid-20th century. Financial challenges, coupled with the sprawling nature of the city, posed hurdles in creating a comprehensive and efficient transit network. The transit system has grappled with issues of funding, maintenance, and public perception. Despite these struggles, Miami has made strides in recent years, implementing initiatives like the SMART plan to enhance and expand public transit options, demonstrating a commitment to overcoming challenges and creating a more robust, accessible, and sustainable transportation system for the future.

coral reef degradation

Sea life and coral reef health are major worries as of recently as a side effect of global warming and rising ocean temps. The bleaching of coral reefs are causing fish to evacuate the surrounding reef or if not that are forced to die of starvation. The reef stands as a home to many types of species and it dying is causing many species to lose their homes. The lack of fish in these large areas are causing a decline in fishing which decreases the fishing economy in local markets. This rise in ocean temps is bad for the economy yes but worse for the wildlife living in the reef themselves.

I watched the story of electronics and while I did a few things caught my attention. These companies making all these electronics are completely blindsided to the fact that their products are some of the factors as of to why its difficult to get these raw materials. The electronics that are being recycled are doing much more bad then good and everyone is oblivious to this because of the word "recycle". These companies and manufactures also give their devices a 18 month lifespan until the software on the next gen device completely takes over the older ones. causing people to have to buy the newer device which then causes people to recycle these products. This cycle will not end unless the companies take charge and take the earths health and peoples health into more consideration. Too many of them are all $$ and not concerned or maybe not even aware of the poisoning of the earth that's happening in some peoples back yards.

I thought the inside look of Alaska is a very interesting topic because I feel like Alaska isn't highlighted enough for how important it is. After the ice is mainly about the native people to Alaskas remote areas are noticing and finally being heard about the changes the warming is causing. The natives rely on animals from the bearing sea and the bearing sea is the main thing being affected by the change in climate.  The warming is causing a non-livable environment for fish and plants.

Having free transit I think is a necessity in certain cities where the number of car drivers is lower than public riders such as NYC.  It's somewhat pointless to have free busses that are empty.  People in local gov. can locate the areas with lower income and easily target then with free transportation.

I watched the natgeo video on business booming in Miami regarding to buildings being built with no regard to the soon sea level rising that will occur.  Architects need to implement something to help the safety of these future home, if not the building won't last and force people out of Miami.  People need to worry less about how things are going to look and more about if its safe.

I thought that it was very interesting how the video explains the best things to consume for energy levels. The video says the best for high energy levels would be to consume the producers if the producers are being fed the correct amount of energy through the sun which is energy coming to the earth.

I think food waste from humans is a problem, but every problem including from the farmers to the companies to the consumers are all traced to US citizens being almost spoiled.  The need for almost perfect produce by farmers is almost 2/3 of the problem we have in the US. Consumers are also being fed wrong Info by food labels.  If the US mandates that food expiration dates are correct on all products it could cut this problem in almost half.

I think Chat GPT should only be used in a sense of study.  Ive seen people use it to form better notes or study guides but I don't think it should do any actual class work for you.
