When greenhouse gasses (Carbon Dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc) are put into the air, the atmosphere traps everything in like a blanket. And that keep the heat from escaping, warming the earth at a much faster rate than normal. The heating of the earth causes ice caps to melt, sea levels to rise, warmer temperatures, droughts, storms, loss of animal habitats, and extinction of some animals. ]]> 2021-12-06 18:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1931909865 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1931924918 Ocean acidification is when the pH level of the Earths oceans decrease, mainly because of carbon dioxide dissolving into oceans. Ocean acidification leads to animals like plankton to dissolve. It also decreases biodiversity in ocean environments.

Volcanic equations do admit carbon dioxide but they also help plants take in carbon dioxide. ]]> 2021-12-09 18:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1938923311 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1938964059 At Niagara Falls, New York, construction of a canal started, but shortly was abandoned. Soon it was turned into a chemical dumpsite. 100 homes and a school were later built on the site where they dumped toxic chemicals. The Love Canal would explode and chemicals got into the basements of the people that lived there. Kids were being born with birth defects and there was a higher white blood cell count in residents, maybe leukemia. 98 families had moved by the end of the month, 221 families overall. 

Now with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Environmental Protection Agency has grants available to safely get rid of toxic chemicals. ]]> 2021-12-09 19:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1938964059 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1938971051 In 1986, the Chernobyl power plant in the Ukraine exploded due to poor design and unqualified workers. Immediately, 31 workers died  either because of the explosion and the radiation.  Over 5000 people received thyroid cancer and close to 350,000 people were evacuated. 

The Chernobyl power plant explosion had a huge impact on creating changes in safety culture, now they would have people inspect the nuclear reactor, safety practices, and proper disposal of waste.  ]]> 2021-12-09 19:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1938971051 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939669015 In 1964 the wilderness protection act was set up to “preserve and protect certain lands in their natural conditions”.

This was responsibility that the government had to afford clean water and to keep our oceans clean too. ]]> 2021-12-10 05:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939737406 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939773760 In 1973, the endangered species act was put into place by the U.s. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Commerce Department's National Marine Fisheries Service. It was enacted to protect endangered animals and bring animals back from the edge of extinction. We need to keep endangered animals alive so we can keep biodiversity high. ]]> 2021-12-10 06:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939773760 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939793137 June 28, 1934, FDR signed on the Tayler Grazing Act, limiting the grazing cattle could do. It established the Division on Grazing. The goal was to stop overgrazing and soil deterioration. Because of this, farmers would have two pastures, they would put their cattle in one, then switch and to let the grass grow back. ]]> 2021-12-10 06:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939793137 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939804581 The Environmental Protection Agency was formed to protect people and the environment from health risks.

They divided it into four sections, water, forests, lands, and minerals. All of the section has their own chairman. Everyone of them came to Gifford Pinchot with ideas of resource management and other concepts. ]]> 2021-12-10 06:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1939815869 alvarnascd349 https://padlet.com/alvarnascd349/9pbbwltamzaua1hq/wish/1945260757 On February 1, 1905, the United States Forest Service was created by Theodore Roosevelt.
