According to the ABC News article on climate change, experts say, "if drastic changes aren't made now, the planet could "blow past" the carbon budget in the next decade (Smerden). According to the ABC News article on climate change, experts said to "cut back on beef consumption, which has a monumental carbon footprint compared to any other meat".
Regenerative Farming is meant to keep carbon underground in the soil so that not so much of it floats into the atmosphere and cause more climate change. The carbon that has been kept in earth's soil is floating into the atmosphere through farming,which is making it go from a solid into a gas.This shows that we need to take care of the environment by doing regenerative farming more often.
Soils are a really good carbon sink after the oceans. "There is wide variability in the estimates of the amount of carbon stored in the soils globally"(Andre Leu).Climate change not only affects our planet, it affects how healthy our soil is. If our soil is unhealthy because of climate change, then farmers cannot grow the foods that we eat on their farms. Climate change also affects how healthy our plants are.From what I have read about regenerative farming, it seems like doing this would fix our climate change issue. This is a good solution that we need to start trying if we want to save our environment and help the next generations keep the environment healthy.
So if we want to help stop climate change, you need to go out and vote on some solutions on how to stop it and do regenerative farming. If you don't believe climate change is a problem then you don't care about how unhealthy our environment is. I believe we need to stop climate change. It is not ok that we are treating our earth like this. The earth was not made to have people make climate change. The earth was made for us to live on and keep it healthy. People need to cut down on so much carbon. This issue is just going to affect future generations later in life if we don't fix this issue now while we can.

I think that this is a good blog. Nice facts and descriptive wood choice. With the next blog I don't think you need to say welcome to my blog you can just start off saying what you talking about. It is a little confusing the way you jumped from paragraph to paragraph. Try making transitions of paragraphs a little smoother to read. Other then this really good blog for the first one.
ReplyDeleteHi Jordyn,
DeleteI agree that I needed to start my blog by saying what it was about. I think I needed to not jump so fast with information between paragraphs.
I think you did a great job having an overview of what you can do to stop and/or slow down climate change, but I think you should have gone more into detail about what regenerative farming is and how to do it. That would give me more of an understanding on what I can personally do to reduce my carbon footprint.
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte. You mention regenerative farming as a solution to this issue, but what exactly is it? And to what degree would you see it helping with climate change?
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting. The whole idea of regenerative farming interests me. Some Believe this is why so many people are gluten free.
