 What I look forward to in my Environmental Science Class?

I do not really know what to look forward to in this class. I chose this class because the description sounded interesting. 

What I think this class will be about?

I think this class will be about how different things affect the environment and the science behind it.

Activity 2.3.1 Ranchers, Anglers, and Beavers

  Six-Point Critical Analysis of Current Event     1. Exploratory                                      Relative to a comparable site with hot season grazing and no beaver, the study shows that streamside vegetation can be 10–40% more productive where conservation-oriented grazing approaches are applied, and beaver are at work. ( Fesenmyer ) This means there is more food for grazing animals and leads to more diverse wildlife in the area. The What’s more, the study shows to get comparable gains in vegetation at sites with hot season grazing and without beaver, you would have to move a site 800 feet up in elevation or increase annual precipitation by almost 10 inches, nearly doubling the average annual precipitation at some sites. ( Fesenmyer ) study also demonstrates that conservation-...

Activity 3.3.3 – My Plastic Use

Image
 I did not do a whole day but the first five minutes of waking up From the highest mountain to the lowest point of the ocean plastics can be found everywhere. It is impossible to go a day without feeling the impact plastics have had on the planet. One issue that we are starting to realize is what happens when these plastics start to breakdown. We have been engrained that if we do not see it then it does not exist but now we are learning that is not true. As plastics start to break down microscopic particles are being released in the environment. And since plastics are everywhere this has become a major issue. When talking about these microscopic pieces of plastic we call them microplastics. Microplastics, which are plastic particles or fibers smaller than 5 millimeters (mm) in size. (Haab) Microplastics are mostly derived from petroleum which is an additive used in a variety items. Because microplastics are derived from petroleum, they are not biodegradable, which means that they...
