By wasting water, littering, etc., we hurt the Earth very easily. Our everyday lives can also destroy the environment without even knowing it. For example, just driving cars and releasing gasses into the air affects the environment. Also cutting trees, burning leaves, plastics and paper, and an endless amount of examples of things we do that hurt the Earth without us even realizing it. We call this the "carbon footprint", that explains and analogy of how we leave marks on the earth. ]]> 2017-01-19 13:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148067752 2021_amanda_penney https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148803075 Causal is one variable that changes due to another variable.

Causes of an increase in the size of a carbon footprint are as listed below

-Heat/AC
-Wasted products (e.g plastic)
-Destroying nature
-Driving cars/trucks
-Leaving lights on
-Purchasing meats
-Destroying recyclable materials
-Refusing to donate clothing]]> 2017-01-23 17:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148803373 2021_tara_monastesse https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148803655 Greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, such as CO2 and water vapor, trap radiation from the Sun and cause the Earth to become warmer.

One of the most notable took place whilst we were studying use and consequence. 

The first generation (Jack and Felicity) were invited up to take their share of a bowl of pretzels. They were not restricted concerning the amount of pretzels they could take. Secondly, the second generation, which was not select to only two people and therefore is difficult to identify in it's entirety, was also invited up to the bowl to have a helping. Because there were less pretzels, the mood was startlingly more frantic. But lastly, came the third generation, after all pretzels had been taken. The resources were not renewable and therefore were extinguished quickly.

The exercise was meant to teach the importance of restrictions on non-renewable resources. ]]> 2017-01-23 17:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148807701 2021_amanda_penney https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808154 2017-01-23 17:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808154 2021_ainsley_leahy https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808272 2017-01-23 18:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808272 2021_ainsley_leahy https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808660 2017-01-23 18:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808660 2021_kelsie_lefebvre_halsband https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808956 2017-01-23 18:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148808956 2021_tara_monastesse https://padlet.com/chiggins16/xmz9mzwl12fy/wish/148809019 The greenhouse effect is not necessarily a bad thing.
