I did this to illustrate how little I really know about how they function. I get that we receive oxygen, food and water from them but exactly how is not clear. I memorized plenty from biology but the real world application is lacking.]]> 2017-01-12 17:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/146863168 ecurtis3 https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/150064177

The magical blue fluff with binoculars is causing the process to take place. The plant absorbs Carbon Dioxide. By adding the perfect combination of water and sunlight, the plant is able to filter the poisonous gas into breathable Oxygen! Thanks, plants!

The website to the left is an excellent resource for native plants to Georgia. Not only does it describe the differences to our state, it also goes over much more. The site covers rules for growing and planting GA. It also describes rare and protected growths such as the Ladyslipper. Did you know that Georgia is home to SEVEN different species of carnivorous plants?!]]> 2017-02-14 16:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/153784428 ecurtis3 https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/157296491 The Dangers of 
Losing the Rainforest]]> 2017-03-02 12:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/157296491 ecurtis3 https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/157297900 The picture to the right is an endangered orangutan in Borneo. Borneo is a rainforest island that is being destroyed. Much like many other rainforest biomes, the trees are being destroyed at a rapid pace for many reasons. Borneo specifically, lost roughly
3 million acres of forest a year between 1997 and 2000. People are making over a billion dollars a year on illegal selling of things attained from the rainforests.

We owe practically everything we currently know and love to this. I chose science. Without the development of farming and domesticity, we never would have developed culture, wealth, and the ability to pursue our desires, dreams, and inquiries. Without the First Agricultural Revolution, we have no science.]]> 2017-03-07 13:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/158318841 ecurtis3 https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/164612529

I totally support the theory behind improving our crops and expanding the reach of feeding the masses. I have recently been educated into the harmful effects, primarily on our soil, from all of the chemicals being used to treat and enhance crops. Now is the time to analyze or efforts and reduce the harmful ones while expanding the efforts that improve life.]]> 2017-04-04 13:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/164612857 ecurtis3 https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/166665624 2017-04-18 02:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/166665624 ecurtis3 https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/166665830 Caffeine is the most influential plant based chemical in the world. Almost all humans consume it daily whether by beverage, supplement, or added to other drugs. The body becomes dependent upon caffeine making quitting all but impossible. With a drug so easily available and unregulated, odds of ceasing its consumption by the average person is close to zero.]]> 2017-04-18 03:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/166665830 ecurtis3 https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/169068361

I truly believe the biggest mistake we have made as a society is the chemical treatment of crops. The destruction of the ground is the biggest impact. Within less than two years of proper care, the soil rejuvenates.  Crops grown in the new soil yield higher counts versus treated crops. Pests on crops are good, too! They help us know which plants are weak on not work eating.   I'll miss you Dr. H!]]> 2017-04-30 17:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ecurtis3/u2lupae0m54k/wish/169068419
