Conservation Plans

Hello viewers, if you are seeing this, you are most probably on my blog! Thanks for reading!

        Okay, now for some seriousness. There are a lot of things that we can do to save energy, or just saving the Earth in general. Ontario (a province or state in Canada) is doing a lot to save our priceless energy which we use everyday. Here is an interesting statistic that I found in an article: "Ontario has shut down 8 coal units so far and plans to shut down all remaining units by 2014". To keep our lights on at night, Ontario has started upgrading our old power plants and making them more eco-friendly, but in the process making it produce more than twice the energy it did before. That means shutting down coal plants that cause air pollution and moving to much cleaner sources of electricity. (More efficient energy also means you don't need to pay as much as you did for the coal plants!)

       That is what Ontario is doing. So what can you and/or your community do? After all, everything starts with an idea, and who knows, you might have an idea that might do the world a lot of good!

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!
