The Ozone No More

This is the process of CFC, as I explained in the article below. We need to stop this, and there is hope.

Sadly due to pollution our ozone has been disappearing, over the past few years. This problem is not an energy type of problem, but is still extremely important. This problem is a pollution problem. Much of this pollution is made by a single molecule that is so extremely devastating. The chlorine molecule is decimating our ozone. The ozone hole has been growing, and this is happening mainly in the North Pole. So in a sense, Santa's Back yard shrinks a little more each year. Why? you may be asking, well the answer is the sun. By leaving our ozone layer agape the sun's dangerous rays are shining through. These dangerous rays are called the ultraviolet rays. They are the rays that give you sunburns, but by breaking through the ozone layer their power is increased and the sunburns will cover you every time you step out into the sunlight. In the end it will make it so most people aren't going outside without an umbrella and spf 500 sunscreen, which unfortunetly does not exist, yet. This is all going to happen because of CFC's. This is the process of chlorine chemical. it is bounded with two other types of molecules. It Is attached to the chemical Fluorine, and Carbon, another element. Four parts chlorine,is attached to one part fluorine, and one part carbon. The scientific equation, though I hate these is CL4C1F1. When these molecules are touched by sunlight, which in the north pole happens only two months per year, August and September. When the light touches these molecules, one of the chlorine molecules breaks off of the bunch. It floats off and in will smash through thousands of ozone molecules. and with so many of these bunches floating out in the stratosphere, trillions to the millionth power of ozone molecules are being destroyed. We need to find a way to stop this. to find out more watch the video above.

Rain Forest Depletion

Help save these super-cute animal babies

The world loves our rainforests, and obviously the animals living in it do too. So if we love them so much then how come 50% of the rainforest we had 58 years ago is gone. It is because careless people are cutting down acres of forest a day. Because of this almost 1 species of something dies out every 3 minutes. Rainforests once covered 14% of earth's surface, but now cover a mere 6%. And that last 6% could be gone in an estimated 35 - 40 years, so along with the polar ice caps be prepared to lose the rainforest and all the beauty that lives in it. The rainforest contains so many species in fact more than 50% of all earth's species live within that last 6% of land called the rainforest. Near 1500 species of floral plants, 125 species of mammal, 750 species of trees, 60 species of amphibians, 100 species of reptiles, 400 species of birds, and 100 species of beautiful and unique butterflies. so as you can see there are over 3035 species of what ever, they all mean something to this ecosystem, but they won't have much of an ecosystem in 40 years. All of these animals will be literally extinct, not just in the wild but many will have disappeared for good. There are so many animals and mammals, amphibians, butterflies trees, budding plants out there. Which means there is no way we will be able to capture every single one of them, and help them to thrive in captivity. All of these animals were made specially to survive in the environment of the rainforest. When the rainforest is completely gone they will have to attempt to adapt in human made facilities. or they will have to live in alleys or abandon homes, they will be living an endangered life, and always on the run. But there is a way you can help. You can actually recycle save energy, because much of the rainforest is dying from pollution. do everything in your power to help the environment, Because I'll do everything in mine. We need the environment, and at this time, it needs us. 

Ice or water?

Polar bears are being lost thanks to global warming, help save them!
 

It's our loss. It is estimated that by the end of the century our sea level may rise to 20 feet. Since about 100 years ago the ice has been melting, because of the melting the sea levels have been rising. They have already risen 6-8 inches which is actually a lot considering this has happened through out the whole global ocean. If but, most likely when the ocean levels have risen to 20 feet there will be a ton less property, sadly a lot less Penguins, and a lot less Polar Bears,  also less Leopard Seals, Elephant Seals, Orca Whales, and sadly so many more. All of these animals will be considered  extinct. Now, luckily, extinct does not always mean completely gone, but, just that the species is completely gone in the wilderness. They can sometimes still be found in Zoos or other wildlife facilities. all of these animals are somehow helping the ecosystem and the environment in some way, in fact every animal has a part in the environment. well except maybe a mosquito. But no matter what animal they were all placed on the earth for a reason, some reasons are unknown, but no matter, they all deserve a chance. By letting the ice caps melt we are in fact taking away many creatures chances. There are few ways to stop this, but there are ways. Such as, not littering, recycling, saving electricity. All of these are possible but to accomplish a full rebound on global warming everyone must do their part. Which includes you the one reading my blog. You can easily recycle, littering is sometimes a habit but hey try to throw things in the trash more often. Saving energy is quite easy when you get the hang of it, all you really have to do is turn off a light when your out of the room, turn off appliances that you're not using that minute. Everything you can do will help in the end. and actually saving energy is saving some money. So next time you leave a room remember to turn off the light in which case you will save a polar bear, and save some green while on your way to going green.
