Farming is the only way that the world's large population is able to be fed, so the plants grown are definitely important to society. Farming also has a large effect on the environment, with the incredible amount of change needed for and to become arable. I chose this picture to show that, that to grow these plants society has invented machines and chemicals that have also effected the environment that that society lives in.]]> 2021-06-13 23:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1603769738 sb395927 https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1615694425 I almost always go for Crash Course because they are not only really good at presenting complicated topics in a simply way but making sure that it's entertaining as well. They make sure that it is quick and to the point, so they don't waste any of your time. They also provide visual aids that are actually helpful, instead of just filler.]]> 2021-06-19 20:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1615694425 sb395927 https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1625904897 Asclepias exaltata is an angiosperm. It is a type of milkweed, but this specific species is typically called Poke Milkweed. Native to Georgia it is one of the few plants that helps support Monarch butterflies. It grows specifically on Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains.]]> 2021-06-25 20:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1625904897 sb395927 https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1635151801 The Rainforest is, to me, the most threatened by ecological change. Nearly half the rainforest in the world has been destroyed, regardless that it provides half the worlds oxygen and has the most biological diversity compared to any other biome. It is destroyed for cattle use, lumber, or farming; eventually this will no longer be sustainable because the rainforest does not have time to recover. There is already so much empty space in the world that the continued destruction of the rainforest simply to make pastures seems frustratingly pointless.]]> 2021-07-02 17:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1635151801 sb395927 https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1644171392 The Neolithic Revolution created the idea of social class. Though the Neolithic social classes were most likely less extensive there was still division between those who controlled the food and others who were beneath them. These social classes were only possible because everyone was no longer required to gather food, and could begin specializing their jobs to create tools or other items. These social classes only grew with society and still exist today, as a result of people being able to gather wealth.]]> 2021-07-10 17:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1644171392 sb395927 https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1652257964 I included an article about the genetic modification of seeds and how those seeds allowed for food surplus. Those modifications making it possible for those seeds to be hardy enough to survive the trip. Those modifications also allowed countries to have more food security with higher yields, allowing them to have some leftover to trade. That ability to begin trading more agricultural surplus with other countries encouraged the cohesion of a world market. I chose that reason because it still continues today with nations needing to have food security in their own country to even begin trading with others, because the population must be fed first.]]> 2021-07-16 04:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1652257964 sb395927 https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1658922226 I chose pesticides as the most important chemical derived from plants. Pesticides are not only having a large effect on the environment but they are now discussing the effect these pesticides could be having on people as they are added to crops. Pesticides are one of the most important chemicals we use to be able to provide enough viable food to the population. There are many different types of plant derived pesticide chemicals, like Neem or Rotenone, both which seek to prevent pests from eating crops.]]> 2021-07-23 02:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1658922226 sb395927 https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1663596399 I chose this picture because that is exactly what this movie warns people about. The unchecked greed and waste of humans will eventually wreck the world, we already produce so much trash and we just bury it to ignore it (but things don't decompose when not exposed to air and buried in landfills) . We either have these choices: work now on fixing the planet, hope that we may be able to fix it in the future, or leave if we have advanced to that stage before we ruin the world. this movie shows that just a little preventative care may have been able to save the planet ad prevent future generations from having to fix the former generations problems.]]> 2021-07-29 01:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sb395927/f7q0bvsb3dwfmeyp/wish/1663596399
