Period 6 - Human Impacts on the Environment by Ms. Carr https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0 Record the notes you took on lesson 5 in the project journal in order to share you information with the rest of the class. en-us 2017-11-09 18:16:03 UTC 2026-02-17 23:46:53 UTC hello@padlet.com Summary https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205764428  
The removal of habitat includes anything that limits the natural resources available to animals. The limiting of natural resources can impact shelter of animals causing them to move. Animals moving can mean the depletion of food for a different species or for another species to grow out of control if the animals that moved are prey/a limiting factor. Either way removing habitat can throw an ecosystem out of control.

However, these crowd out the native species. ]]> 2017-11-10 17:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205766715 https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205767938 1. Water Quality- is how clean the water is. The biggest problem that humans cause that affects water quality is pollution.]]> 2017-11-10 17:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205767938 Remedies https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205768269   
  • using power augers to sever compacted soil
  • planting seedlings of native plants 
  • purchasing land for preservation
  • get groups together to help clean up local streams 
  • making the problems known

  • Environmental awareness- conservation which is a method to control the amount of resources used.
  • Sustainable practice- ways of living and doing business that use natural resources, but don’t use them up
  • Forestry practices- only cutting selective trees 
  • Alternative energy sources (cars) no fossil fuels
  • Renewable sources (hydropower, solar power, wind power)

Mt. St. Hellens also caused the earth’s air quality a lot of distress. ]]> 2017-11-10 17:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205770201 Remedies https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205770406

As our technology has advanced, we have craved more and more resources. Scientists today have put resources in two different categories. Renewable, and Non-renewable resources. Renewable resources are resources that can be used over and over again. Some examples of renewable resources are are: Trees, water. sunlight, and wind. Non-renewable resources are resources that cannot be replaced. They can replenish over time, but not quick enough for human purposes. Some examples of Non-renewable resources are: Oil, coal, and Natural Gas. Humans have used these resources but have also severely impacted them.]]> 2017-11-10 17:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205770602 3. How can the principles of sustainable development be applied to the school yard renovation? Specifically, consider the role wetlands and vegetation could play in your design. https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205771555 We can use conservation tillage farming which helps plant trees and grass without plowing the soil. Also, we can use rapid regrow growth practices to help balance the need for timber with the need to conserve soil, water, and wildlife ]]> 2017-11-10 17:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205771555 2. What is sustainable development? https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205771833 Sustainable development is economical development without depleting natural resources. ]]> 2017-11-10 17:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bacarr1/bu5k5ghtrxf0/wish/205771833
