Section 1: The Endangered Species Over the years many animals have been driven to extinction. An animal that is currently listed as endangered is expected to go into extension in the near future. Certain species of animals may be at increased risk due to factors like habitat loss, poaching, and the introduction of invasive species. The current status of tigers is decreasing, they are getting closer and closer to becoming extinct. There are approximately 2,154-3159 mature individual tigers left in the world. They have a life expectancy of around 10 years while living in the wild. Tigers are one of the largest living cat species in the world. Since they are such large animals they can weigh up to 600Llbs as an adult. They are very recognizable throughout the animal kingdom due to their trademark dark vertical stripes over orange fur with a white underside. They are apex predators, which means they mostly prey on large animals like deer and wild boar. At birth tigers are called cubs, they...
UK to make electric car charges compulsory in new buildings from 2022 By Euronews with AFP The UK has a rough plan to integrate car charges into every new building after 2022. There are around 145, 000 charging ports per year will be installed, this is done with the goal of reducing pollution put into their air by vehicles. Vehicles are a huge primary contributor to todays emission rating, reducing the amount of gas driven cars on the road would aid in the race against pollution. A member of the COP26 climate change summit told business leaders that he is calling for charging ports to be mandatory in new homes, supermarkets, and workplaces in England. This is a direct progression towards eliminating new sales of diesel and petrol cars in the United Kingdom from 2030. It is said in the article that the UK wants to lead by example and make it so more electric cars are on the roads. There are currently around 25,000 charging ports in and around Britan. However, the competition...
Section 1 - Environmental and health impacts presented in your reading The article that I read was titled "‘Tsunami of data’ could consume one fifth of global electricity by 2025" . The environmental impacts that are present in my reading pertain to technologies use and its potential ability to cause bad global emissions. As it stood in 2015 global computing power from all the devices we use such as high definition streaming, surveillance cameras, and basically all other internet/power run devices are lead to the consumption of 3-5% of the worlds electricity. The Human Health impacts that are present in this article stray a little bit far away from immediate harm. This is because the use of technology is projected to worsen the climate. Technology is only fairly new on the radar so its effects haven't been fully measured. With that being said technology is said to create climate change to some extent. This could lead to the risk of illness...
