They aid our environment as the beginning of the food chain, shelter for animals and insects, and prevent soil erosion. This photo depicts a tree as housing animals as well as being the lungs of our world as shown in the roots.]]> 2018-09-07 00:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/278681714 kcole51 https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/284174257 This gif simplifies the process of photosynthesis. It shows a leaf taking in CO2 and H2O, combining it with sunlight and creating glucose and oxygen. It clearly shows the process of photosynthesis showing how a plant uses the input of carbon dioxide and water, together with some sunlight to output the carbohydrate glucose and oxygen. ]]> 2018-09-20 23:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/284174257 kcole51 https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/289542308 This site has a directory of plants that are native to Georgia. You can search the plants by lifespan, leaf arrangement, and general appearance. Changing the "habits" of the plants will help you find all of the major types of land plants. ]]> 2018-10-05 11:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/289542308 kcole51 https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/294666964 The temperate grasslands are in the most danger of ecological change. More than half of the Earth's grassland has been converted to human use such as: mining development, crop production, and urbanization. This biome is one of the most easily usable to humans and is therefore disrupted by humans a great deal and protected in very small percentages. ]]> 2018-10-19 02:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/294666964 kcole51 https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/299673901 The agricultural revolution created an increase in the amount of food that was available. It created a steady supply of many different types of food. This reliable source of food was able to sustain human life much more consistently than hunting alone. This enabled a huge population growth in humans.]]> 2018-11-02 05:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/299673901 kcole51 https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/305201568 The Third agricultural revolution brought about several inventions and techniques that increased crop production. The introduction of genetically modifying crops has allowed for hardier crops that require less water, more vitamin sufficient plants, and plants that are disease resistant. This has been a huge improvement for crop yield, although still slightly controversial for overall health. ]]> 2018-11-16 11:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/305201568 kcole51 https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/309715431 Caffeine is one of the most influential chemicals in the world. It is either consumed, produced, or grown in almost every country in the world. According to the Consumerist, the average American spends $1,000 a year on coffee. It has created thousands of jobs, from farmers, to baristas, to "keep your drinks warm" cup companies. People all over the world are obsessed with and addicted to caffeine. We buy it in our coffee, our energy drinks, take it in pills, and liquids every day. Americans run on caffeine.]]> 2018-11-30 11:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/309715431 kcole51 https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/314279862 We currently consume far too many resources. We view the sustainability as a "future problem" without realizing how soon that future may be. We aren't sharing enough information about sustainability throughout our society. We are not taught from a young age to be conscious of these things and to make responsible decisions accordingly. I believe if our current habits go unchecked we will find ourselves in an undereducated, overpopulated, under-resourced, and un-responsible society.]]> 2018-12-13 15:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kcole51/5g5hj8r8r7sg/wish/314279862
