What happens when we pollute

    While there was many things that where seen that affected the community when people polluted the our oceans and lakes, their are more ways that are still being used today that are affecting these natural environments. Since last week we talked more about how it more of radioactive waste hurting the ocean, their are many other things that we have seen worst than this. Industrial sites have waste that can get into the oceans and streams. Most industrial sites produce toxic waste and sometimes it can be dumped into freshwater streams which is easy to get into. Marine dumping is another way to put trash into the ocean and many countries do this so just imagine that. One more things that really affects our oceans is oil leaks and spill. This to me is one of the worst since its dealing with oil. Since we know water and oil doesn’t mix well, this situation is bad for us. Sometimes it be accidental but it still hurts us and the environment.

    Great blog post. It was cool to read about the different ways that the waters are being polluted. I had no idea that some countries put trash into the ocean, that's crazy to think of and how much trash and pollutants is in the oceans right now.

SABIC resins reduces the weight from things such as dashboards to tailgates by as high as 40% which makes it to where vehicles can go farther. The technology world is trying to convince everyone to convert to electric vehicles. They depend on batteries that charge faster, run longer, and are also more efficient.

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

              As well as a lot of other people, I enjoy a nice relaxing day on the water. Some people decide to take a weeks worth of days on the water. Including a boat, food, and entertainment. Cruise ships are some what of a luxury with the fancy dinners every night. Swimming pools and massive halls for shows and people to perform. Not to forget some even have places to throw cards and gamble. In recent study’s, cruise ships are found to be a major contributor to the growth of on water environmental pollution and degradation. This is also due to the ever so increasing amount of people taking cruises along with the industry booming in the way that it did. The recent popularity before COVID-19 had researchers interested. So they did a few study’s and found out the information above. Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the port.  Some crazy things that happen wh

Ocean Fish Stock by Aaron Hoffman

  The worlds ocean fish stock is on the verge of collapsing. T he  International Union for Conservation of Nature , Jared Ferrie reports that the oceans have absorbed more than 93 percent of the heat generated by human activity since the 1970s, primarily through its large surface area, volume, and low albedo. Last year, the ocean was its warmest in 136 years of records. The increase in temperature has led to new toxic organisms and algae bloom that poison fish. Many specials are leaving their natural habitats in search of cooler areas. Since fish are leaving their natural habitat it causes a lot of problems for the fish in the habitat they move to. Food starts to dwindle down quicker that it should and the people that eat fish can search for fish in that area but cast find any if the fish leave. People are also overfishing and causing species to decline.   https://youtu.be/AHI-B-4c2NU  https://www.newsecuritybeat.org/2017/02/ocean-fish-stocks-on-verge-collapse-irin-report/
