Your footprint is your mark on the world and what you leave behind on Earth. I use the most Services. I use 25 global acres and 5.6 Planet Earths. I buy locally grown things from Whole Foods, I walk to a lot of places instead of using a car, and i only go out 2 or 3 times a week. Using lots of transportation, buying non locally grown stuff, and keeping your chargers plugged in all day. Use more public transportation, unplug unused chargers during the day, and eat less processed food. We consume and use so many more services and goods compared to other countries, so it makes our footprint 3 times as big from the start. An example is urbanization in The Everglades, when the government decided to remove a lot of the parks water which impacted the park greatly. They paved the space where the old water was and turned it into farmland and lots of buildings and houses.]]> 2017-01-10 16:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146299287 etinkham2020 https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146411097 2017-01-10 23:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146411097 etinkham2020 https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146651417 https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/kidspost/cold-stunned-sea-turtles-are-flown-from-cape-cod-to-florida/2017/01/04/2799c8fe-c2ea-11e6-9578-0054287507db_story.html?utm_term=.72341aae5327
This Article is about the baby Kemp Ridley turtles that were found in Cape Cod after getting pneumonia from the cold water. The Key West Sea Turtle hospital was called to pick them up from Cape Cod, on Monday they were flown to Florida. These are also the baby Sea Turtles that we saw when we went to the Keys to visit the hospital. ]]> 2017-01-11 20:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146651417 etinkham2020 https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146853781 The Endangered Species Act is an Act passed in 1973 that was made to protect all animals on the Endangered Species list. This law is important because it protects animals that are Endangered in the world that aren't being protected. This act has been very effective because the populations of lots of the species on the list has greatly increased due to the act. This Act has made once endangered animals into protected species, which means no one can hurt them or capture them. From this Act we have reduced the number of animals on the Endangered Species list. ]]> 2017-01-12 17:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146853781 etinkham2020 https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146905431  The Florida Panther or the Puma councilor corgi, is a Panther native to Florida that have a tan/ beige color. These cats can weigh from 100-160 pounds, with long balancing tales that are very useful for pouncing at prey. These panthers need the basic things to survive like food, shelter , a mate, and water, but they also prefer upland forests. They like this habitat because it is dry, and their are more things to eat because of the little flooding and rain. These animals were hunted in the 1830's so today their as little as 100-180 Florida panthers in the wild. These cats like high dry land with lots of food and shelter for resting. These panthers can live from about 12-15 years in the wild on average, these cats are carnivorous so they eat feel hogs, deer, rabbits, birds, and bunnies. Sometimes they will even eat alligators!! Some fun facts are they do not roar but they purr, they can swim across rivers and streams, the panthers can leap as little as 15 ft to pounce on their prey. They are the official state mammal, and these animals have never attacked humans. Their environmental importance is that they keep other species (native and invasive) from overpopulating. People are helping by capturing some and helping them reproduce and grow in numbers. Also people are spreading awareness because it is a very important mammal in the state of Florida. One group that helps protect panthers is the Florida Panther Protection Program. The only Act that protects the Florida panther is the Endangered Species Act, this act states that any animal on the endangered species list can not be hurt or taken, under Federal law.]]> 2017-01-12 19:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146905431 etinkham2020 https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146917457 During the trip we learned lots of things about the Everglades, like their native species and the history of the park. One important thing i learned was that the government took out a bunch of the water and removed it from the park. They then created the city of Miami, but realized how much damage they had done to the park. On the trip the guide went into more detail about the species that belong to the park, and how the removal of the water greatly affected the animals and ecosystem. ]]> 2017-01-12 20:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/etinkham2020/ynqfy05boep1/wish/146917457
