Renewable energy on contaminated land

 Hannah Bailey 

The idea of putting renewable energy on contaminated land is a great idea. The land may be contaminated due to things like landfills. If we put a renewable energy source here this will allow us to become less dependent on nonrenewable sources that are going to run out eventually. Doing so can even reduce land taxes because its reusing land that isn't usable for human interaction activities. This isnt only a great thing for the economy, it is better for the environment. This helps fight against global warming and is using land that has already been corrupted. The amount of land we have is becoming scarce. There is only about 5% of land that hasn’t been touched by human kind. The Center for Creative Land recycling is a organization that is helping expand the idea of land recycling. “Recycling land” is going to be a great way to save land and save our planet.

    Hannah,
    I've never heard of the term 'Land Recycling ', but sounds like an amazing alternative. Our current state of mind is to use and move on. The second something proves even just a little bit useless to us we move on, but if there's away to get better and longer usage out of the lands we use than more people need to be looking into this. The less land we can impact the greater chance of survival we and all life on earth can have. But what's encouraging is that it can have a positive impact on the economy. Our world revolves around money, and so, if we can preserve it in away, or help get more money to our economies, then our government will be more willing to put in the effort needed to make this change. Very interesting read Hannah, thank you!

    I agree with your blog 100%, I think this idea is brilliant. The land that has been corrupted and can not be used would be a perfect spot for something like this so we do not use any more land and no land is being wasted. This is a smart way to do some good with our environment, rather than doing more damage. I found it very interesting that there is only about 5% of land that has not been touch by mankind. That is such a small number to think about with how much land we have in the world. I think this was a very neat article and a good way to use land that has been contaminated by humans.

    I think your post is very interesting and it nice to read about renewable energy. I think it'll be nice if we took a chance on changing how we look at all the waste in this world. Converting to a different system might be what we need and it would probably help out a lot more then what we do now.

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...
