Summary: The earth is very known for the water we have that make up many things in our environment but water pollution is something that is killing us both directly to our bodies and indirectly to our environment as well. The pollution would start from on land by the coast or inland. Many things can be dumped into our oceans and river streams like chemical waste, metals, and etc. Not only is that the only thing that’s causing pollution but other things like sewage and wastewater is another thing that’s killing the water in oceans and lakes. Most of the waste water that flows through our system goes untouched and flows back to the environment to us people and economy. There has also been recorded deaths from this situation as well, at least 1.8 million deaths were recorded in 2015, so just imagine how many deaths are recorded from 2016-2021. The reason why there are so many deaths is because these dirty waters can spread diseases to people who swim in toxic water. There are many ways for us people to do a better job at this problem by recycling our bottles, depose chemical things by not pouring into the drain or any substance that will harm the ocean, and etc. This problem can be solved easily but need everyone to help out the community.

    I like the that you gave statics that show us water population is dangerous for not only the environment but for people too. You said the problem could be fixed easily but how could you go more into depth on how we could fix this problem for the future?

deforestation and it's effects

 Deforestation and Its Effects Jessica Bailey - November 18, 2021     Deforestation is the removal of trees and clearing of forestland purposefully by mankind. Throughout the span of human existence, forests have been cleared for many reasons. It could be to make space for fields and agriculture, animal grazing, to get wood for fuel, manufacturing and/or construction. Now-a-days, the largest amount of deforestation occurs in the tropical rainforests; this was due to the road construction that go into regions that was once almost not accessible. Deforestation is not good for the environment because it destroys ecosystems, threatens the worlds biodiversity and releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air. While this damage can be permanent, in North America (an example) is restoring their forests by conservation efforts.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/deforestation/

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.

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 ...

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.
