      Mining is defined as the extraction (or removal) of metals and minerals from the Earth. Mining is necessary for building roads and hospitals, to generate electricity, to build cars and houses, to make computers and satellites and much more. As mining is indeed used for a lot of things, it is very dangerous and damaging to the environment. Mining is damaging to the earth and it's natural resources but is also damaging to human health. There is mining accident as well as exposure to toxins and dust which can cause multiple heath problems. Miners are known to suffer from different diseases due to this exposure.

    Good post. Mining does effect the Earth in a very negative way, I hope that we can find an alternative to mining one day, I think that that is one big step to saving the Earth.

    This is a very good summary of mining, I knew some things about mining but not a whole lot. I never knew that miners can get exposure from these actions. I thought that it was something that helps us but I didn’t know it was also hurting us as well. Over all this is a good post, good job.

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.

              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.

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/
