What's Plastic Farming

 In the society we live in today we hear all about how plastic is bad and how you should refrain from using any plastic products. But there is a company and now a research project on how to work plastic production in agriculture and farming. This idea comes from making  an engineered seed and would result in harvesting plastic polymers. I think if this could be figured out and done safely without harming nature and food production it could really be a different take and a new way of producing food. All though there is still a lot of science needed to figure out how to make this a safe production it seems that this could become a part of a new farming era and could possibly change agriculture as a whole. Coming up with this biodegradable plastic could be the newest and best technology. What do you think will happen if this becomes a new way of farming?

    Ive never heard of plastic farming until your post. It is awesome that there is new deals coming out to help reduce waste. It is important to find solutions to our problems and hopefully this can be a good solution to our plastic problems. I think if this becomes a new way of farming and is safe for the environment it can become very beneficial to both party’s. It creates more jobs along with reducing waste.

    This is definitely a new topic that I have never heard of and it's very interesting. I think it may work out and make the economy better as a whole.

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...
