Electric cars vs Gasoline cars

Throughout the years there have been many discussions about how electric cars are better for the environment than Gasoline cars. One of the problems for gasoline cars is that workers have to extract oil from the ground. For an electric car, there is no need to extract oil for the car. On the transportation front, electric cars lower America's transportation emission numbers. While the nation continues to find more renewable sources of energy, electric cars will continue to improve their emissions ratings. Following that, 94 percent of Americans are living in an area where driving an EV produces fewer emissions than a new Toyota or Honda would. With a wider look, as the electric cars are improving, the power grid is also improving with it. Electric cars also help with global warming because electric cars will produce less than half the global warming than gasoline models. With all of that, it is seen that electric cars are found much better for the environment and for people. Electric cars do not have to ruin the grounds or pollute so much poolition in the air than a gasoline car would. With a gasoline car, you have to dig up oil which ruins the ground and then you have to transfer the oil to a gas station which makes it even worse. Rather than with an electric car, such as a Tesla, you only need to charge the car and not put gasoline in the car.

    As Electric cars become more popular would the line of Gasoline gars just end? since I don't know too much about this topic I was wondering if there were any downsides to electric powered cars. In your blog there didn't seem to be any downsides. So if there are any downsides to using electric cars is it bad enough to persuade people to go back and use gasoline cars? And also are there other benefits to using electric powered cars, I understand that it benefits the environment and global warming but for people who are not persuaded by these factors are there ways to sway those people?

Prisoners Design What They Can't Buy- Luke

Luke Kirchner      I chose to read the article "Objects Made by Prisoners in the United States". This was a very interesting article, as it showed what it's like to be in an American prison and how they make some objects. When Prisoners are in prison, the severity of their punishments can vary, but the lack of creative freedom is often detrimental to each prisoner. This lack of freedom can sometimes drive their creativity to make their own objects, showing off individual expression. Some items like pens and toothbrushes were not given in the full form, due to the fear of prisoners turning them into weapons. Instead, the prisoners thought about how they could fix these problems. The article says "The items shown here, made by inmates in the U.S. prison system, illustrate the severity of restrictions imposed on prisoners as well as the human instinct to persevere through creativity and invention" (The Atlantic).      They took the ink cartridge for the pen an

Josey - The Fashion Industries Effect on the Enviroment

           Clothing production around the world has doubed since the year 2000, making the fashion indsutry the second biggest polluter in the world. The impact of the indsutry on the enviroment has always been substantial, but in recent years as it has continued to grow, the impact has grown with it. It is estimated that aproximately every second a truck load of clothing is dumped or burned in a landfill. Not only is this a huge amount of resources, but it is also clothing that could easily be reworn or recycled. This is an extremely wasteful amount and is not only affecting the resources that are used, but also the workers who are being forced to produce materials at extremely fast rates.            Wasting these materials is one of the major ways that this is having an effect on the enviroment but another is the waste that is produced and put into the enviroment. Often when factories produce clothing, once they are done they dump chemicals from the factory into rivers. These chemic

Recovering Ecosystems

Tyler Holland Mr. Roddy IHSS 26 March 2020 Recovering Ecosystems A large challenge for stopping the increasing problems that we face with air pollution and other environmental problems, is that humans are natural control freaks. People try so hard to invent new ways to control the risks that our Earth faces instead of just trying to let nature do its work. Isabella and Charlie, a couple who owned farmland in England, came to the realization that nature solves its own problems, after they had a run in with a feared weed for many farmers. Once they discovered the 'cursed thistle' in their farms they feared the worst as it spread so quickly, but they had decided to let it happen because using pesticides and chemicals was not an option for them. After a while they started to see a flourishing environment in their acres that they had not seen there before, painted lady butterflies flew across the land and after a while caterpillars were crawling all over their 60 acres and ea
