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.

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

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.

How Does Solar Energy Work?

How Does Solar Energy Work? Most people and I would assume everyone in this class have heard of solar energy. Some might even know some that use solar energy at some level. One question that I myself sometimes find myself having is how does solar energy really work? Of course, we know that solar energy is energy that is absorbed from the sunlight, but let's dig deeper. The most common way to use solar energy is through solar panels. Solar panels absorb solar energy through something known as photovoltaics. As stated in a post made by Energy.Gov "energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow, " Solar energy is something that can seem expensive at first, but if you compare the costs of a one time installment versus a continuous energy bill, it will most often come out being cheaper. Do you guys know anyone that uses solar
