Planet Earth:The Feature Saving Species

Saving Species Of Planet Earth

Today in class we have learned that,some species of planet Earth are endangered! The Icecaps are getting thinner and thinner by the day.At one point in the North Pole during the winter the whole ocean became frozen so the polar bears were able to walk across it.The polar bears in the Arctic are becoming endangered because of lack of food. The polar bears are behaving like never before. It was very rare to see the polar bears hunting for walrus. In about 50 years from now all of the Arctic will be gone, we might loose 35% of the icecaps. Species after species are becoming instinct. We need every species the we have on planet Earth to keep it going. Most of the animals are becoming endangered because the humans would kill many different animals for meat and fur. They would mainly chose the elephant because of its ivory from their tusks. The golden frog has already become instinct. The Amur leopard is becoming instinct, there are only 30 left in the world.
There is a special place that takes care of animals ,they have the eggs from different types of animals so that when the animals become instinct they cane reproduce them. This business we have limited resources, and they state that if we save one species you basically save them all.!

The two topics that I choose and am most interested in are going to be Smoking and Global Warming.


Smoking


-The reason I choose smoking is because it is something that young children should not try out. There are many different types of drugs that is used for smoking such as...tobacco,cannabis,and opium,but tobacco is the most popular. A way for smoking is by using pipes, cigars, hookahs, rolling paper,etc..Some causes from smoking tobacco are lung cancer, heart attacks erectile dysfunction,and also can lead to birth defects.
Here is the link to where you could read about Smoking and how it can affect you......

Pollution
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution
-The reason that I choose the pollution topic is because, there is a lot of pollution going on on the earth and it is causing many problems such as hurricanes,flooding,etc... ,also I think that f we make games about it then it may make a big change.
Global Warming
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming
_I choose this topic because we are causing Global warming and it is causing danger to us and the world.Global warming is causing many problems to the world,such as..extreme heat,melting polar ice caps,sea levels to rise,etc.
Smoking
-The reason that I choose Smoking is because I have a family member that smokes and she has many health problems because of the topic,and I really want to work on this topic to make a change.Smoking causes many problems such as lung cancer,heart attacks,etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking
Drug
-I choose the Drug topic because many children a dropping out of middle/high school because of drug usage.There are many drugs such as pills,drinks,marijuana,wine,mushrooms,and much more.When these are used,they affect the function of the mind/brain and body.I think that if we make a game about drugs and show children what it does to hurt them, then they would quit.

QUESTIONS
1:)what are your thoughts about the documentary?
2:)what do u think about global warming?
3:)how does the information you heard make you feel?
4:)what can we do to prevent ultimate destruction?


Some of the thoughts that I have about the documentary is that this man is doing a great think for the earth!He has been traveling all around the world explaining to people that they are the one who is causing global warming,and that the Earth and all people is in danger because of the choices they make. I think that Global warming is a bad because its causing problems to happen to the Earth. One example of global warming is... the polar caps are melting because of the heat from global warming and melting ice caps will cause the sea levels to rise(this caused all the hurricanes).
The information that I have heard so far has made me feel a little scared because what if a hurricane hits Austin or if no one tries to make a difference and global warming gets worse! I think that if the whole entire world knew about global warming the people would want to come together and try to make a huge difference in the world. To prevent ultimate destruction we could choose to make better decisions in life. We could go clean up a lake, park, anything to make the world a better place..!!

The reason that I picked this picture is because i thought it was very interesting but,I'm not to sure about what it is . To me it looks like someone is shining a pink and purple light into space with the stars surrounding it. This picture caught my eye because pink and purple are my favorite colors. This picture is very interesting and i would like to learn more about it.
