https://padlet.com/beth_thomas/an1ug0g7bi With the uncertainty of the world today and no crystal ball, we cannot predict the future. Will there be some positive outcomes of this pandemic? How will it change things for the better? Part of that depends on our ability to reflect and understand different perspectives.

However, Covid has also allowed the Earth begin to heal itself with everyone in lock down and unable to travel anywhere. Such as in China, the source of the outbreak, where coal use in China's 6 largest has dropped by 40% and emissions fell 25%. In Europe, satellites show that nitrogen dioxide emissions are fading over northern Italy.

In New York, almost 50% of the pollution has decreased compared to last year at this time. In China, the emissions have dropped 50% since last year. The air quality has been improving because of this. Since people have to stay home, the amount of travel has been decreased, which help decrease pollution.

In China the emissions fell 25% at the start of the year. New York also has reduced there pollution by nearly 50%. Since this pandemic the air quality has been getting better since there hasn't been a lot of people of the house. With people staying home and not traveling it has made a difference which is really helpful to the economy.

It may seem like a bad thing to us, but really for the environment it is a good thing with the levels of pollution in the air going down  with China's emissions going down 25% and and New York  reducing it's pollution by almost 50% . These numbers are great. So even with the lasting effect of deaths and problems there is some good as well.

First, New York has reduced it's pollution by almost 50%. Also, at the beginning of the year China's emissions had dropped 25%. Not only that, but also without everyone outside and using transportation and factories the air has just become way cleaner in general. Lastly, in Europe nitrogen dioxide is fading away. All, of these environmental changes could be huge. Just remember there is still good.

Also with this the economy broke which will last a long time because it takes a lot of time to bring that back up.

The pollution in New York has nearly been cut in half and there are less cars driving around so less carbon is being released into the air. Along with that, China's emissions have gone down 25%. There is a lot less air pollution which is a great start to taking better care of the earth.

The U.S. stock markets might crash because of our weakened economy to do the virus.

This will probably be the longest we have decreasing emissions of greenhouse gases. Also, I predict will try to keep the emissions low because of the positive impact it has to our world now.

This pandemic might also bring more sicknesses to people once this is all over because people need to be exposed to viruses to build an immunity to them if we are stuck inside all day and night we are not being exposed to any new viruses making our immune systems weaker and more vulnerable.

In New York, about 50% of pollution has decreased when compared to last year. The emissions have also dropped 50% in China. Air quality has improved. The amount of travel has decreased due to people staying home, which has also decreased pollution.

I also think people will be more clean  and try to avoid bacteria as much as possible and be more caution because they will see how fast a disease can spread.

People may also drive less, which will be better for the environment, and wash their hands more. I personally have started drinking coffee, and I believe I will continue after the pandemic is over.

Most of it for the better, many places have cleared up and pollution levels have dropped significantly. I think some things will change like people's awareness to how much we pollute the planet and maybe try to step up and keep the change.

Now places like China and America, the two most polluting country’s, are finally decreasing the amount of Carbon. This could also help slow down global warming

We are all stuck inside. We can't see our friends. Our mental state is deteriorating. There is a silver lining though. Carbon emissions are lowering. Less humans around means a cleaner everything. Maybe. Hopefully. When this insanity is over, the human race as a whole can start to change our ways.

The environment can stay healthier with less carbon emissions. The world will also be better prepared for a different pandemic in the future, as long as the world leaders are smart. We can look at whats happening here and try to stop it in the future.

Millions of people had to change their routines because a lot of places are closed down or people are in quarantine. Also pollution in New York has gone down 50% because people are stuck inside. Flights are being cancelled, some restaurants are closing temporarily.

For example, pollution and green house gas emissions are falling. The main reason these things have been decreased is because our travel usage has been slowed down and transport takes up 23% of global carbon emissions. I hope that the clearing of pollution isn't only temporary and this can help us in the long run.

One  of those being that there is significantly less carbon produced by cars and travel. Another positive of Corona is that animal habitats are much cleaner because humans have been inside.

There is less pollution in the air. New York's pollution is almost half of what it used to be. Along with all of the other benefits of Covid-19 it is good to say that we at least got something out of this pandemic.

Sense we have been stuck inside the earth has gotten healthier. which means  maybe when we come out of lock down people will be more aware of the good things we can do for the earth.
