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.
Environment Matters. Period.

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.
