I feel like our surrounding nature definitely has a huge impact on our daily lives. Being within plants reduces your stress, your fear, and your anger while also helping you become emotionally stable. The world and its creations make you happy...that sometimes you have to smudge your face into it and breathe the oxygen that it gives us. ]]> 2021-06-08 15:17:48 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1593184463 agarci23 https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1610772998 I choose this video to represent my understanding of photosynthesis. The creator of the video does a good job of exploring the process and using models and drawings to express what he is describing. He goes as far as showing us multiple explanations, which is very needed for people like me who need to be explained and showed multiple times until it is in our brains. ]]> 2021-06-16 20:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1610772998 agarci23 https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1620570422 Here is a picture of a plant called Trillium Georgianum. Weird name but beautiful plant. According to many websites, Trillium Georgianum is a "rare" plant known to woodland areas Northwest of Georgia. Unfortunately, much of its population has been destroyed which is why it has become a "rare" herb in Georgia. ]]> 2021-06-23 00:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1620570422 agarci23 https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1628625412 Our Tropical rainforest biomes are one of the biomes that are most endangered. One of the main factors towards the disappearance of the forest is called deforestation. A lot of the causes towards deforestation are the clearing out for wood for both timber and making fire, agriculture for farms, grazing land for cattle and extraction of minerals and energy. Rainforests are also threatened by climate change, which is a main part to droughts in parts of the Amazon and Southeast Asia. These droughts causes die-offs of trees and it dries out leaf litter, increasing the risk of forest fires, which are often set by land developers, ranchers, plantation owners, speculators, and loggers.]]> 2021-06-28 16:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1628625412 agarci23 https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1637646139 The impact towards the human population was great during the Neolithic period. During this era, it allowed people to stay put and be able to farm and domesticate plants and animals for their own use. It was a modern society that began to grow larger populations, have improved technology and also advancements in knowledge, arts, and trade.]]> 2021-07-05 18:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1637646139 agarci23 https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1647099799 The third revolution involved hybridization, genetic manipulations, and the increased use of pesticides and fertilizers. The third revolution is also called the Green Revolution, maybe it is because of their high use of high-yielding seeds and the use of a lot of fertilizers. There were also inventions of new tools and the advancement of old ones (like the plow, seed drill, and the threshing machine). ]]> 2021-07-13 04:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1647099799 agarci23 https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1653915665 Caffeine. One of my best friends during an early morning or during a bad headache. This substance is naturally found in the leaves and fruits of some plants. You can find caffeine in drinks like coffee (my favorite), teas, cocoa, soft drinks, and energy drinks. Caffeine is known for treating fatigue and migraines. As an article from Harvard says "Taken in moderation, coffee can decrease the risk of several cancers, as well cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and Parkinson's disease...the consumption of caffeinated drinks might have helped societies to embrace them to thrive".]]> 2021-07-18 23:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1653915665 agarci23 https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1660347666 i took this picture from a movie called "Ready Player One". this movie is set in 2045 and during this time the world is gripped by an energy crisis and global warming, causing widespread social problems and economic stagnation. because everything is literally dead in the "real" world, people in 2045 escape to a virtual world named the OASIS where everything is possible. i am pretty sure technology will overcome the planet as the world slowly dies and becomes a dead zone if we do not change the ways we live. ]]> 2021-07-25 16:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/agarci23/97kn72ihge4r3bzv/wish/1660347666
