Do you believe in saving the coral reefs…? Well studies show that they are sadly dying.

The reason for the death of these beautiful underwater cities are because of us? Yes this is true, bleaching started in 2014 which is now even worse in 2016! The cause is, of course, pollution.. These reefs are being turned from a very amazing colors to dark and white colors. Studies show that the “ 90% of the Great Barrier Reef is bleached… 20% of the reef has been killed.” We can stop this if we stop throwing waste into our oceans. Another big cause is oil spills bleaching the coral and killing homes to millions of fish. I think that it is wrong and we should stop this from happening.  

We trade because if the us were to make something that another country could make for us it would be a lot more expensive because the us doesn't have the resources that another country that specializes in clothing would have. The second reason why the us does not make their own clothing is because if they did the cost of clothing in stores would go up a lot, for example if the us made a nike hoodie it would usually cost $90-$100 dollars to import but if they made their own it would be upwards of $200. That is the reason that we trade goods with other countries.

Imports

What are imports? Imports are when a country receives something from another country. Like for example every one thinks that we get everything from china but actually we get most of our goods from canada. 

Exports

What are exports? Exports are countries that give good to a different country. For example china and Canada are huge exports to the us because that's where we get most of a goods.

Exchange rates

What are exchange rates? Exchange rates are the rates that you pay to trade with a country. For example if we wanted to trade with Mexico we would give the US dollars and the would give us pesos.

“We compared Euro bills to the equivalent Canadian bills.”   

I liked this article because you can learn about money in a different country and that we can exchange Euros for Canadian money.

The article,  Climate change will lead to annual coral bleaching, study predicts, talks about how if the world continues the same patterns and doesn’t try now to reduce greenhouse gasses, the end result will be very unsettling. The article chose to mention specific coral reefs such as the ones  in Taiwan, and the ones in Chile to name a few. “If current trends continue and the world fails to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, nearly all of the world’s coral reefs will suffer severe bleaching – the gravest threat to one of the Earth’s most important ecosystems – on annual basis, the United Nations environment agency today reported.”  www.un.org reported , quoting the United Nations environment agency today.Bleaching means to deprive of substance. In other words, pollute the coral reefs.  like said in the article there’s still time to act on the bleaching being done to the coral reefs of the world.
