 Though we have many new technologies being developed to help reduce our carbon emissions. There are many of the technologies that we use frequently on a daily basis are good contributors to climate change. Such as the our energy sources, our transportation, and our agricultural methods are major contributors to climate change. We get a large portion of our energy such as heat, gas, electricity from the burning of fossil fuels, which is the worlds leading contributor to climate change. Our transportation is also a major source of the emission of greenhouse gas, due to our culture and society being so reliant on cars, planes, and other forms of transportation on a mass scale. Agriculture accounts for roughly 20% of our greenhouse emissions, and with new technologies being developed to make large scale agriculture more efficient we can only predict that the amount of greenhouse gas that is produced from agriculture to increase in the coming years.   Sources:  https://www.ep...

 Tidal energy is an alternate energy source which uses the oceans tides to produce energy. I haven’t really heard that much about these type of power plants and all but there actually kinda interesting. Turbines are placed under the water and the current or waves turns the turbines. The turbines are connected to another machine which is visible above the water which looks like a small dam. There it power is converted into electricity. This needs to be used a lot more since the entire earth is covered in water and that could be a lot of electricity.  https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiA4sjhkvvsAhVJ7qwKHXjoDa0QFjACegQIAhAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalgeographic.org%2Fencyclopedia%2Ftidal-energy%2F&usg=AOvVaw3Ud9Vtm8ZCPrua0jDSiiCX

  The golden road has been said to be extinct in 1994. The reason what led to their extinction has been due to pollution, global warming. Scientists said that they have limited habitats, and small population. They were important as both a predator and prey in the ecosystem. Since they are huge numbers of insects and smaller creatures, were prey to larger animals such as fish, birds, reptiles, mammals .

      So we all know that there are billions of cars on the road contributing to the biggest problem on planet earth today which is climate change. Since we have manufactured so many cars, we had to use our precious land to support them by building roads for them to drive on and parking garages for them to park in. This blog post, I will be talking about how parking garages contribute to climate change even with out the car aspect of things. Lets begin with how a parking garage works, so you drive in and start searching for a parking spot. As you are driving around trying to find a parking spot, you are allowing your car to be more fuel inefficient. A kilo meter driven inside a parking facility is much more fuel inefficient and produces much more green house gases than driving a kilo meter at regular highway speeds. cars isnt the only problem that makes parking garages bad. Since parking garages are multi levels if it happens to storm, rain water gets stuck between t...

 Black Spider monkeys are a type of monkey that live in eastern South America in areas north of the Amazon River. The black spider monkey is on the vulnerable part of the extinction spectrum. They are anywhere from 16-24 inches long and 15-19 pounds. They play a huge role in seed dispersal in their forest to keep plants growing. They are another victim of deforestation.  Brennan Moots

People often  waste natural resources. Animals are over-hunted.Forest  are cleared, exposing land to wind and water damage.  Fertile  soil is exhausted and lost to  erosion  because of poor farming practices. Fuel supplies are depleted . Water and air are polluted. If resources are carelessly managed, many will be used up. If used wisely and efficiently, however, renewable resources will last much longer. Through conservation, people can reduce waste and manage natural resources wisely.
