Animal of The Week (3)
Hello viewers, it's that time again for the new Animal of the Week! This week's animal is...the turkey vulture!
The Turkey Vulture is one of the biggest birds of prey. It likes to eat dead animals, so it follows highways for animals that we humans run over with our cars. It can smell food even if it is kilometres away. It has a 6-foot wing span, and it can fly for 5 hours straight without flapping it's wings once! After about 3 weeks after it eats it's food, the turkey vulture vomits it out, because the dead animal would be decaying in its body the whole time. The vulture just takes the nutrients from the dead animal it eats and then it vomits it out. Turkey vultures are also very valuable to the environment because it can kill diseases. Suppose it eats a diseased dead animal, the turkey vulture's stomach's fluids will break down the disease and kill it. So that's the new animal of the week, and stay tuned for more!

A Real Eco-Hero!
Hello viewers, this post is going to be dedicated to one of the biggest Eco-Heroes of all time, Albert Arnold Gore Jr. He was the 45th vice president of the United States. He was born in March 31st, 1948 (Aged 62), and he was born in Washington DC. He was a man of many talents, he served the army, he was the Vice President, but what I really like about him is his interest in the environment.
Algore
Algore receiving his Nobel Peace Prize for making the film 'An Inconvenient Truth' in 2007
Algore campaigning to be President of the United States in 1999.
He is my hero because he wrote a fantastic book about the environment called 'An Inconvenient Truth', and that book turned out to be a Academy Award documentery! He was always hitting the books trying to get as much information about global warming as possible. But he went beyond books, he thought of the outcomes of global warming himself through scientific reasoning. He really thought outside of the box, and that's why he won so many awards. He was a simple and humble person, and that's what made him more likeable. So guys, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed my little write up about Algore!

Did you know?
Hello viewers, here is just a fact file I got when I was reading something. Hope you find it interesting!
-In the past 30 years, roughly 86% of world's population of rhinoceroses has been killed for parts by poachers.
-With the construction of hotels and airports, animals and wildlife that live near beaches are disturbed because of the air pollution, the noise and the blinding lights.
-Monk seals are the most rare seals in the whole world. Less than 500 Mediterranean monk seals remain, and about 1,500 Hawaiian monk seals are left. The Caribbean monk seals are already extinct.
-In 1830's, the world's population was about 1000 million (1 billion). But it took only about a 100 years for the total population to double itself.

Wetland Destruction
Aloha guys! So, as the title says, we are going to talk about Wetlands. 
Wetlands are the world's richest ecosystems. Lots of them have been deforested and some of them have been damaged by wild weather, droughts (No rain), and rise in sea level. Wetlands are home to lots of wildlife as well, such as insects, birds, and fish. More than 50% of wetlands have been destroyed. Humans love wetlands most of all because it offers lots of protection from floods, so humans make wetlands their industrial location, and their homes, therefore, cutting down the forest. But if we keep cutting down the forests, then we not only are helping feed global warming with all the excess pollution, but we are also killing the wildlife that lives in those kinds of regions. So do Earth a favour by not cutting trees!

Animal Of The Week (2)
It's as you guessed, its time to tell you the new Animal of the Week. This week's animal is... the Tiger! 
Some facts about the tiger:
Their lifespan is about 10-15 years in the wild, and up to 20 years in captivity.
They are now considered an endangered species.
They can weigh over 300 kilograms (660 pounds)
The most common species is the Bengal Tiger and the largest species is the Siberian Tiger.
They live mostly in grasslands and the Siberian Tiger lives in the Siberian Taiga.
The Tiger is India's national animal.
Tiger's are excellent swimmers, they can swim 4 miles with dead prey and they normally cool off in pools during extreme heat.
Because of poaching (hunting), the population of tiger's in the wild now is estimated to be around 2,000. At the start of the 20th century, it was estimated to be 100,000 tigers in the wild.
The majority of the tigers are now in India.
Humans consider the tiger their main Game. (Hunt)
The tiger was voted the world's most favourite animal based on a pool Animal Planet had.
Well, that's all for now, stay tuned for more!

Law Of Unintended Consequences!
Sometimes, too much of a good thing also has it's consequences. I want to give you 2 examples of that.
In Australia: A large frog, commonly known as the Giant Neotropical Toad, came from the United States and Brazil. It was brought to Australia because there was a beetle in Australia called the Cane beetle, that was eating all the sugar cane crops in Australia. So the toads were supposed to eat all the beetles and control the problem. The toads did their job, but a little too well. The toads were eating the beetles like there was no tomorrow, and now there are hardly any of those beetles anymore. There were originally 102 toads sent over, now there are over 200 million!!
Canada: In Canada, there is a group called the Canadian Forest Service. Here, they keep forest fires from raging through our forests. But they are forgetting something. Fire is part of the natural eco-system of forests. Because there are no fires now, large amounts of trees are prone to be threatened by pests. Diseases have already started breaking out in forests that could have been prevented by fire. Without fire, the bed of soil keeps growing taller and thicker. So the seeds that are going to grow cannot because the soil is just not right for them. Now, older trees are being threatened by pine beetles. Forests all over British Columbia and Alberta are at risk now because of now forest fires. Isn't that ironic?

Ice Cool Facts!
Bonjour Madam et Messieurs! Today, I will be giving you some really cool facts (literally!) that I hope will interest you. Check it out!
-If the sun was layered by a layer of ice that is 1 mile thick, the sun would melt the ice in 2 hours.
-The coldest temperature ever measured was taken at Vostock Station, Antarctica, in July 1983. The temperature was -89 degrees C.
-The Last Ice age was biggest about 18,000 years ago. Ice stretched from the North Pole down south to places like The Great Lakes in North America and even all the way to cover most of Britain and Scandinavia!
-In the North and South Pole, the sun either does not rise in the winter season nor does it set in the Summer season! Isn't that incredible?

Animal Of The Week
Hello viewers!
I am going to start a new segment to this blog, and as the title says, it is going to be called the ANIMAL OF THE WEEK. Today, the animal of the week is the PELICAN. The pelican is a big majestic bird. Their wingspan can reach over 2 meters in length. They have very long beaks, which they use to get fish out of the water while flying in the air. They float really well with their webbed feet for paddling. Pelicans mostly are found in warm climate areas. They make their homes in trees and rarely on the ground. Here is a picture of the pelican:

Statistics, cool facts...
Hello viewers, I just wanted to show you some interesting facts:
- The USA and china are the biggest contributors to global warming.
- An average USA citizen emits about 20 tons of garbage, which is about 5 times more than the Earth's average of 4 tons per person.
- Americans use 50 million tons of paper, cutting down about 850 million trees
- By turning down your thermostat in your house by 1 degree, fuel consumption is cut by as much as 10%
- Every ton of recycled paper saves about 380 gallons of fuel.
- 40,000 children are killed because of diseases that were created by air and garbage pollution.
- Every day, 40-80 plants and animals (many are micro-organisms) become extinct because of human influences such as pollution.
That's all I have for you today, thanks for reading!

Home Sweet Home!
Take a moment to just think about your home. You know, the shelter in which you live in, the shelter which is warm and dry. Now imagine losing your home. You would feel angry and sad. Maybe that's how animal's feel when we cut down their homes! Humans don't even think twice before they cut down forests, and other types of lands such as tundra's, polar ice caps, grasslands and wetlands! But we can do something about it. Earth rangers are trying to protect the wild spaces that animals need to survive. Environmentalists are constantly working on ways to preserve the environment. So what can you do? You guys are certain to find something!

Acid Rain :(
Hello guys, I just wanted to show-and-tell you guys something really important. I am not sure you have heard of it but it is called acid rain. (Ugh, imagine taking a shower in it!) Acid rain is created when moisture from pollution such as moisture from smoke and carbon dioxide mixes with the air. So when it all evaporates, it finally falls down as acid rain. So again, humans are to blame (what a coincidence :p) But it get's worse! Acid rain is harmful to plants and wildlife, and it sometimes flows to water bodies like lakes, seas and oceans and then it mixes with the cycle of the water body. So if acid rain falls on one country, or even one city, the acid can spread on my water, and the gases can also be carried away my wind! So guys, if you stop polluting, we can have fresh rain and we don't have to worry about acid in the water that we drink! Thank you for your kind attention!

The Blanket of Earth: The Atmosphere!
Hello guys! Today I am going to talk to you about the Earth's blanket, or, in correct terms, the Atmosphere. The atmosphere is mainly covering the Earth to protect us from the Ultra-Violet Rays, or UV Rays for short. The atmosphere has 5 main layers: The Troposphere, the Stratosphere, the Mesosphere, the Thermosphere, and the Exosphere. Planes fly in the Stratosphere when it is coasting, and when it is taking off or landing, it is in the Thermosphere. All living beings on Earth live in the Thermosphere part of the Atmosphere because it contains the highest level of oxygen, and the UV rays harm us the least in this layer. Thanks for reading guys, and thank you for helping me reach over 4,000 viewers! I mean, that is amazing! You guys really do care about the environment, and that makes me really happy. Thanks for spreading the awareness and thanks for everything that you do! See you next time! :)
