Linking to another blog post


There is a blog post that I just read that go me thinking big. This blog post contains information about a new kind of energy form that is being investigated in Korea. The whole idea is that there will be magnetic strips built into roadways that will give cars energy while they drive over the magnetic strips. If this were to work it would save a lot of time, money and energy. The strips would provide power to cars that have EV energy batteries that are the main engine for the car. The blog says that this would drive down the costs of labor and production of big, heavy-duty batteries that would be expensive to buy and charge. The magnetic strips would provide free energy for any car passing over them. Korea is going to test this plan first on a roller coaster to make sure that is efficient enough to spend time and money on. This roller coaster will have magnetic strips for approximately 400 meters of the total 1.2-mile long track. If it is a success then the production of these magnetic strips will start. They will first use them for bus routes to just make sure that they will work well with automobiles on the environment (roadways) which they use on a daily basis. With the new jump in battery-operated cars, these magnetic strips could be an invention that completely changes the landscape of the world’s roadways for a long time. Only time will tell if these will be a great success or a eye-catching failure.

Sneeze Page: The best of the last 30 days of blogs


For today I am going to take you back in time (barely). I am going to mention the best blogs that I have written since I started this blog site. For those of you that do not know, this is called a ‘sneeze page’. I have no idea why it is called that but it is a great idea.

First, the blog called, “A great blog that you need to read!”, is a must-read blog. It is based on a book that was written about the oil spill that “you’ve never heard about”. This blog gives you insight about a blog that talks about the book. If you read the blog that I analyzed you will be given a link to buy the book.

Second, the blog called, "Keystone Pipeline", is just as important as the above blog I just mentioned. It is in the same type of category but will explain our future instead of our past.

Third, the blog, “Review of Mountain Top Mining Video”, is of the same importance of the first two. The blog reviews the major problems of mountain top removal for the extraction of coal. There is a link for a video that goes in depth. The video is of grave importance to spark enthusiasm for an outcry against these companies that are removing the mountain tops.

Those are my personal top three blogs from the last 30 days. After you read those make sure to check out the rest of my, easy-to-red, short blogs.

Land Use


Land use and management do not seem to be a concern for many human beings.  In a sense, we are selfish when it comes to using land.  I live in a rather small town.  Throughout my life, I have seen more and more subdivisions and homes being built.  Where there was once an open lot, there now lies a home for someone.  My high school had an addition built on to it the year after I graduated because our town seemed to be growing.  I believe that not only is my small hometown expanding; but the entire world is expanding and our land is continually being used by us.  As we can see the worlds population plays a big part in how we use our land and how it is managed.  If we become overpopulated then how is there to be forests, lakes, deserts, when we need all of the land to build homes, towns, ad cities.  Much of our land has been deforested so new towns, subdivisions, and houses can be built instead.  We have turned little towns into big cities, expanding our land use.  We have turned our natural environment into a man-made society.  This plays a major impact on what we call our natural resources for instance our water, soil, plants, and animals.  For example, an area of land that has been deforested has a different quality of water compared to an area that is forested.  If we continue to cut down forests to build urban areas then our water supply will be of less quality.  As we all know, people are living longer due to the research and technology that has came about in the medical field.  Because of this, our environment will downfall due to the over expansion of the human race.

Cell Phone Garbage


Electronic devices such as cell phones have came a long way in the past couple of years.  Most of society relies on cell phones in order to communicate with others via calling, texting, or even the famous facebook application.  Not only do people use it for communication but a bunch of other stuff as well such as information, directions, music, and entertainment.  Lets face it; people’s lives revolve around cell phone usage.  However, did we ever think about how a cell phone actually works, how it affects the environment, and how it is disposed of?  Most of us have not.  That is what this blog is for, to discuss and teach the hazards of the cell phone.  Whenever someone receives a text message or a phone call, radiation is emitted via the cell phone.  This can be obviously harmful to the human race as radiation can cause cancers and certain health risks.  Cell phones contain lead, which are released into the air along with other elements.  This can cause harmful affects to human beings as well as research has provided evidence toward neurological deficits due to lead exposure.  Cell phones are also not properly recycled.  Most of mankind who own a cell phone get a new one at least every two years.  All of these cell phones are being put into landfills.  By doing so, the lead containing cell phones are endangering the environment along with the health of humans by the decomposition of lead.  Electronic waste should not be put in landfills for this reason; instead, it should be reused and recycled properly.  Now that you know a little bit about how hazardous cell phones can actually be to the environment along with us; I hope you at least consider recycling your old cell phone. 

Car Pollution


What is the difference between earth and other planets?….Air and Water.  No other planet can create and sustain life.  This is due to the fact that no other planet contains air and water, as of today.  However, what if ur air was no longer good enough to be able to sustain human life?  This is actually occurring right now.  Currently, us human beings have been polluting our air.  This means that the air we breathe is being polluted with dust, gases, odors, fumes, and chemicals that may essentially cause harm to us.  This will cause and as caused harmful affects to us individuals along with our wildlife.  Air pollutants mainly occur from industries and motor vehicles.  These pollutants can essentially cause global warming and other harmful affects to the environment.  What I mainly want to talk about in this blog post though is the effect that cars have on our environment.  Cars (automobiles) have impacted the lives of human beings greatly.  However, they have not only affected our lifestyles, they have affected our environment as well.  Fossil fuel combustion, the result of driving a car, is the worlds most common cause of air pollution in history.  It contributes the most to the worlds air pollution.  As we all know, car use continues to increase.  Most people in America own a car; it is rare to know someone that does not own a car.  Because of this, car use is increasing every year leading to more air pollution.  Because of this, we need to be more considerate and more educated on how our driving affects the air.  Instead of driving gas containing cars, we could own hybrid vehicles which get their energy from batteries.  These cars are pointing their way to the future and should be considered more when people buy a car.  Also, people need to start using cars responsibly.  There are many times when people can either walk or ride a bike somewhere, however, due to laziness people tend to get in their car for a faster outcome.  But, I think we need to start becoming more conscious of the fact that we are polluting the air and start improving our environment by not driving cars when it is not necessary.

How to stop global warming


It is important for the human race to be educated about global warming and climate science; after all this is the earth’s productivity and future we are talking about.  There is scientific proof that when the climate changes the earths temperature and atmosphere shifts and becomes altered as well.  I have talked about earlier in my previous blogs about the evidence on why and how I believe that global warming is currently in effect.  In order for us to save the future of the earth and its efficiency we need to start acting now.  There is discussions about how the government will help solve this crisis; however, I believe we do not need to wait for the government to come up with a solution, we the people need to start acting now.  There are some simple things that everybody can participate in to fight against and reduce global warming.  First, you need to start saving energy.  There are some common things that you can do to save energy, for instance, use less heat in the winter and less air conditioning in the summer.  Also save gas and the environment by driving less and riding your bike to work.  Start buying energy efficient products such has home appliances, light bulbs, hybrid cars, and etc.  Some of these products may be more expensive but more efficient and environment friendly in the long run.  Remember to start shutting off the lights when you leave the room and turn off the TV once your favorite show is done. It is effective to recycle and reuse products.  Most people do not think of this, but by planting a tree you are reducing global warming.  Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air.  Since deforestation and pollution is occurring there is more carbon dioxide being released into the air.  These tasks are simple and just need your attention.  Start teaching and inspiring others to follow in your footsteps and begin saving our earth.
