Eliminating The Carbon Input Into The Environment
Part One
1. The flora population changed by increasing. Because the plants grow in the soil, the increase of carbon in soil leads to an increase in carbon in the plants.
2. A) The carbon level in the soil has increased in 2070. The carbon level increases as does the plants therefore an increase in the amount of plants.
B) The decomposer rate will increase because there are more plants due to the increase in carbon and soil, therefore the death of the plants will be decomposed. The deforestation rate increased therefore giving humans less oxygen and humans will be negatively affected.
Part Two
1. The outcome of 1/6 and 1/12 are similar. The carbon level in both ocean surface and deep ocean increase, therefore resulting in in an increase in the seaweed population.
2.

Compared to Lesson 2, there is a drastic change in the atmospheric carbon levels. There is almost a 2,000 difference in the carbon levels. However, in Lesson 1, the atmospheric carbon levels are very like Lesson 3. (All in the year 2110)
Considerations
1. You can lessen the effect of carbon on humans by trying to eliminate the carbon input into the environment. Some ways of doing that would be carpooling to and from places, unplugging electronical things around the house, and simply planting trees.
2. Using biofuels can help fix the destruction of the cycle. By using biofuels, they aren’t disrupting sensitive habitats, and the carbon dioxide they release was just absorbed days ago by the plant making the cycle time shorter and more

    Some changes in climate may result in increased precipitation and warmth, resulting in improved plant growth and the subsequent sequestration of airborne CO2. A gradual increase in warmth in a region will lead to earlier flowering and fruiting times, driving a change in the timing of life cycles of dependent organisms. Conversely, cold will cause plant bio-cycles to lag.[62] Larger, faster or more radical changes, however, may result in vegetation stress, rapid plant loss and desertification in certain circumstances.[63][64] An example of this occurred during the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse (CRC), an extinction event 300 million years ago. At this time vast rainforests covered the equatorial region of Europe and America. Climate change devastated these tropical rainforests, abruptly fragmenting the habitat into isolated 'islands' and causing the extinction of many plant and animal…

    Other studies show that the greenhouse gas problem is naturally taken care of by the carbon absorbing plants and trees.” Earth’s oceans, forests and other ecosystems continue to soak up about half the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by human activities, even as those emissions have increased” (Contoski). Therefore, no matter how much gas we create the environment has a system to keep them under control.” Five hundred million years ago, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was 15–20 times what it is today” (Contoski).…

    An ecological footprint is the measurement system that helps us calculate the human pressure(the human demand) on Earth 's ecosystems.It calculates what percentage and part of the world we use individually or in groups. Ecological footprint is calculated by looking over all of the biological products/materials consumed and all of the biological waste produced,by a person during a specific year.All of these products/materials and waste require an ecologically fertile/productive area such as forests,croplands,etc...Than all the products/materials and waste are one by one and individually translated into an approximat number of global hectares.…

    Carbon Footprint

    For this project, I used the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website (http://epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/ind_calculator2.html) to calculate my family’s carbon footprint. Looking at the results, I have noticed that my household uses less CO2 per year than the average carbon footprint of a household of the same size. The difference is quite impressive: my family’s footprint of 69,643 lbs CO2/year, and the average of 83,00 lbs CO2/year. However, we can still try to reduce the footprint even more. Some actions that we can take include turning off appliances not in use, turning down the heating system which includes the water heater, furnace, and A/C. Also, we can to try to not drive as much, but, instead, carpooling with friends, walking, or biking. Another option for my family is to upgrade the insulation on our home, as well as checking for air leaks around windows and doors. Also, energy saving light bulbs can be placed in our house to save even more energy. Everyone should take these actions and continue to look for more ways to decrease our individual carbon footprints. Being responsible and aware of what we use can help us lower the production of greenhouse gases and preserve our planet for a much longer…

    My carbon footprint in global acres by consumption category is 203.61. This result was bigger than expected. So that’s why I think I have to make some changes in my life to reduce my carbon footprint. For example, using cleaner transport such as walk, bike or take public transit whatever possible. My vehicle has serviced regularly to keep the emission control systems operating at peak efficiency. Adding energy-saving features to your home is really necessary such as installing compact fluorescent bulbs in all your home light fixtures, insulating your water heater, choosing energy efficient appliances. In addition, I should adopt energy-saving habits such as unplugging your electronics when not in use, drying your clothes outside whenever possible, defrosting your refrigerator and freezer regularly. Besides, eating more local, organic, in-season foods, choosing sustainable building materials, furnishings, and cleaning products, adopting water-saving habits and reducing your goods and services footprint are also good ways to help me reducing carbon footprint in my life.…
