If this occurs, the High Water Tower will start pumping out the water and it stores it inside until the water levels have lowered. Then it pumps the wastewater back out into the lake. This is an example of a strategy used for the natural disaster known as flooding.

At this point, the erosion has taken over and has started tearing away from the waterfront leaving the community that lines it, going under. Our community does care and we are constantly testing water levels. But, nature will take its course and now, we have done all that we can do to save this area. Somethings that we can do now are adding to the land from the back or eliminating and raising parts of the beach that aren't being used as much. This is an example of physical processes.

I think this is a great idea since I fail to remember what goes in what bin all of the time. With these lists posted at most fast food restaurants, we can all contribute the our massive carbon footprint and make a difference by doing one simple thing. This is also connected to the Power Of One assignment showing that one little thing can make a difference. This is an example of climate change and what we can do to change it.

When there are thousands of cars and trucks driving on one highway each day that will cause an enormous amount of air pollution. One of the biggest causes of climate change is from transportation that burns gasoline, which includes cars and trucks.

This picture was taken of a condo being built near Casablanca Boulevard.  There was a small forested area that was removed to build this condo. Forests help to remove carbon dioxide from the air. Also, the machines used to build the condo add to GHG emissions, and once the condo is built and people are living there it will need to have power which will also increase emissions.

A large amount of the energy is created by non-renewable energy. The company can improve in this area. This is an example of the community not being as considerate as they could to the environment. There are GHG emissions that are created from things like natural gas and nuclear energy. Hydro has begun to be more prominent but is not quite as big as the other two. Climate Change is not the biggest problem according to the company.

By using wind turbines we are actually helping our population in a number of ways. 1) Creating new jobs. 2) Reducing GHG by using clean energy and natural power. 3) Using a form of sustainable energy means we won’t eventually run out. ]]> 2019-11-10 22:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbacchus/ehcjbo4zyfnu/wish/409236003 Recycling ~ Kaylyn https://padlet.com/sarahbacchus/ehcjbo4zyfnu/wish/409237070    Recycling is a common practice that many people use in their daily lives, but why? Well, by recycling we are making 2 things happen. One, insuring we don’t completly fill up our landfills and later burning to creating GHG’s. Two, we are making the plastic and paper be re used which means we aren’t using as many materials as creating something from new, and reducing the gases it would have took to create all the new materials. Overall recycling is simple and we should all take part in it even through it may cause a little inconvenience.

The "waste" sections of the garbage disposal are completely full of recycling, when we could think twice and put our recycle in the "recycling" section. The concept isn't that hard, and this is simply showing laziness. By recycling we save energy, and reduce GHG emissions. This means that overall, recycling and sorting our garbage properly will help tackle climate change.

It happens when you're waiting in line for the drive through, or even when you are simply at a red light. Idling refers to running a vehicle's engine when the vehicle is not in motion. Idling uses GHG emissions such as CO2, and CO2 is the worst greenhouse gas. If we can avoid idling, CO2 emissions could be reduced by 1.4 million tonnes within the next year. This would help put a stop to climate change.

But instead we decide to mainly use these water bottles which is effecting our wildlife and our ecosystem.For example remember that these bottles are usually brought to landfills, and since most landfills are so close to shores these water bottles could blow away into these waters and can go out far into sea effecting the wildlife in that habitat who may be mistaken it for food and choke or may even get caught inside it. Also toxins in these water bottles could pollute the water and air around it.]]> 2019-11-11 01:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbacchus/ehcjbo4zyfnu/wish/409263708 Greenhouses~Taylor Flanagan https://padlet.com/sarahbacchus/ehcjbo4zyfnu/wish/409265942 This shows that our community does care for our ecosystem.

A Large majority’s of energy that powers homes usually  comes from fossil fuels. Unplugging electronics can save energy and decrease the emissions of GHGs. This can also save you money on your electricity bills, since the increase of 60% makes you have to pay more for energy in your home. Unplugging this energy when your aren’t using it saves you from having to spend almost double each month.

Turning lights off when you leave to room or don’t actually need the light can save you money on you electricity bills and reduce the amounts of GHG emissions into the environment. Doing this could have a much bigger impact on reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power stations. This relates to the videos we watched on Earth hour and how everyone in the city contributed by turning their power off for a whole hour.

They also have diesel, which many trucks run on. This gas station isn't being as considerate as they could be. Having natural gas available would allow trucks to use that (We watched a video on trucks that run on natural gas). Natural gas is not the answer to the solution, but it is a step in the right direction. The transportation industry in Ontario creates 34% of the province's GHG emissions. Natural gas can reduce the amount of GHG emissions by 30% or more. (Information from the video watched in class). Natural gas trucks are not as common as diesel fueled trucks, so the gas company has diesel. The problem is, that if they keep having diesel the trucks will keep using diesel.

Thermostats like these are good for the environment in a couple of ways. They save 10%- 12% of energy on heating and almost 15% energy is saved on cooling.They can save you almost $150 a year on your energy bill. It saves energy by turning itself off when not needed (like when your not home) or turning the AC down by itself when it doesnt need to be as hot or cool in your home (like when your and your family are sleeping). It turns itself onto ECO mode which is when it knows, is programmed, or senses that nobody is home and can turn off until somebody is home.

Leaving your lights on when not needed uses a lot of electricity. Less demand for electricity also means less demand for harvesting our fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are becoming more and more scarce and will start to become even more expensive. 90% of the electricity lights use is heat and only 10% is light. So a lot of the electricity in lights is adding in our global warming issues. So it is very important to turn off our lights when we leave a room or do not need them on.
