a Blog that I found!

For my blog entry I chose to write about blog that I found on google.com the link is http://www.treehugger.com/ I think that this is a very good blog because the writer keeps you interested and informed about environmental issues that go on right here in U.S.A.as well as in other parts of the world. This blog talks about everything that there can be done to help the environment.

For example: there is an entry done by the author on how you can save energy if you switch to CLF it also asks the readers to join in and see if they could do the experiment with the author.

Another entry that I found was about the car industry in U.S.A. and how the government affects it. I think this is a serious matter because the Bush administration doesn’t really support more strict environmental regulations. And now the car industry is having problems and wants to be bailed out by our tax money! A lot of people want their tax money to be put at least into a good cause so if that means more strict environmental laws then I am for it all the way.

Another interesting blog entry that I found on the same web site is about is about Solar panels and that Spain actually builds them. This will generate a lot of energy.
P.S. this blog is one of the most referenced blogs. I think it is an interesting blog because it covers all the news from all over the world as well as it does different experiments and shows products that are environmental friendly.

How close we really are ...

Trip to the museum was soooo much fun. It’s the coolest museum ever. On our trip we were focused on the first floor especially on these parts: Hall of Biodiversity, North American Forests, Warburg Hall of New York State Environment, Spitzer Hall of Human Origins. All of them were very interesting each one of them tied into our class perfectly.

The hall of biodiversity was very disturbing at times for example I found out that since the extinction of the dinosaurs, animals never disappeared at such high rate. Also, that damaging ecosystem creates diseases. Now imagine an epidemic of some sickness and no cure for it.

North American Forests showed the biggest cut down tree ever. It was kind of sad that it had to be cut down. But people, who did it, didn’t see the bigger picture: the beauty of life.

Warburg Hall was about how people function with animals. It showed that we need these animals in order to produce goods such as vegetables of fruits. This part mainly focused on agriculture and how each one of us in the environment can help one another.

Hall Of human Origins if probably self-explanatory but it was still very interesting. It showed the evolution of how our species started out and how each species adapted to the environment.
So how does this tie into our class??? Everything that we have learned we can see in that museum. It showed us how the importance of the environment working together as one whole. And now I can see that because of the improvements that we add into our lives we destroy lives of others. It is heartbreaking for me to live with that everyday and it makes me want to change even more. Why don’t we all commit to it? Are all people so inconsiderate? I hope not
