Clean Water Action

Clean Water Action is an American advocacy group who fights for the environment, but they focus more specially on water pollution. It was created in 1972, this advocacy group focuses on canvassing and gaining support for political issues and candidates to help some environmental causes. Canvassing is the systematic initiation of direct contact with individuals, commonly used during political campaigns. It is an organization that is based in Washington, D.C. This group was formed in 1972 by David Zwick. Today their mission is to protect our environment, health, economic well-being and community quality of life. Clean Water Action organizes politic movements and coalitions to take direct action, they also organize campaigns to elect environmental candidates and last but not least, to solve environmental and community problems.  Here is what they do to take action to protect drinking water and clean up polluted waterways:

"Get health-harming toxics out of everyday products;Protect our water from dirty energy threats - drilling and fracking for oil and gas, and power plant pollution;Build a future of clean water and clean energy;Keep our clean water laws strong and effective to protect water and health."

I think it is good to stay informed about this kind of stuff. I also think we should have more organizations like this. Great read!

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
