To me, I understand these people are demonstrating conservation. Conservation is a way we can maintain retrieving resources from the planet but also keep from exhausting those resources by planting new trees.]]> 2019-01-09 03:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/318631427 scombs22 https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/323723366 I chose this video because it is simplistic yet thorough. It doesn't have unnecessary additional information that would otherwise leave me confused. It shows various diagrams with careful step by step explanations of the entire photosynthetic process.]]> 2019-01-23 23:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/323723366 scombs22 https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/330625766 The University of Georgia Extension is a website that supplies reliable information that supports current scientific research. Information is shared through means of; programs and workshops, field days, blogs, newsletters and mass media, phone call and in person consultations, and print and online publications. The publication is in PDF format and gives a brief description and history of how native plants came to be in Georgia. Other areas include ecology diversity, site evaluation and plant selection, design considerations, and a guide to plant descriptions. ]]> 2019-02-13 00:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/330625766 scombs22 https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/337025982 Grasslands are the most endangered biome on the face of the planet. This is because they cover 8 percent of the world's surface and are experiencing years of urbanization for purposes of agricultural farming, forest plantation, over grazing, and energy and mining development. This results in the reduction of habitat, biodiversity, and desertification.

I chose this picture because it depicts the early advancement in technology during the 18th century. In the image, from the viewers perspective, they can see the gentleman on the far right being intrigued by the new innovations which contributed to a prosperous agricultural yield. ]]> 2019-03-30 01:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/346729270 scombs22 https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/351370984 I chose peppermint because most people feel that they do not wish to have bad breathe let alone smelling someone else's. Peppermint and its flavors can be found in a variety of products. Some of these products include toothpaste, gum, milk of magnesia, and tea.]]> 2019-04-13 12:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/351370984 scombs22 https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/818466884 I chose this diagram because it provides the purpose and beginning of the Neolithic revolution. Here one can see  people transitioned from hunter gatherers and nomadic lifestyles to a more advanced society through the use of technology and skill. This advancement includes tooling, controlling of fire, settlement in areas of rich resources for agricultural usage and domestication of animals. This diagram also provides a timeline of when the transition happened.]]> 2020-10-10 09:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/818466884 scombs22 https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/854189761 This picture represents my vision for the future of the world. Here one can see a gradual increase in urbanization will lead to more warming of the earth. More smog, less resources, and over population will contribute to the demise of the earth as we know it.  I can tell first handedly that the growth within the metro Atlanta area among suburban neighborhoods is quite larger than what it used to be 20 years ago. Every time I turn my head, a new neighborhood or shopping center is being built while the trees a disappearing. Its forcing animals out of their homes and the pollution increases. It saddens me as I personally enjoy nature and everything it has to offer. If it weren't for my job, I would consider living more in the country like my relatives in Tennessee. The serenity that wildlife and plants offer is a gift given to us by our creator and we as a human race are destroying it. This is why I'm such a strong supporter of former President Teddy Roosevelt. He understood the importance of conservation and protecting wildlife and I thank him for creating National parks that are protect for wildlife to survive. I can't help but believe one day the protections of our forests will be lost with an ever increasing polarization in politics and urbanization. ]]> 2020-10-22 20:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs22/pmo009t1wpy2/wish/854189761
