Environment and Resource Management Blog: A Few Updates...
http://lsmith-agreenernmdhs.blogspot.com/2007/07/few-updates.html
Environment and Resource Management Blog. My thoughts on the environment, what I think is wrong with it, and how I think we can bring about change. There are some assignments for school on here, while others are purely interest. Monday, July 9, 2007. I totally recognize that I've done almost nothing on this blog for ages, and I'm super depressed about that, but I'll see what I can do to make that change. So since I don't have very much time to talk, I'm going to make a few comments really quickly. 7) Fur...

Teaching Green: What can YOU do?
http://aholmes-agreenernmdhs.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-can-you-do.html
Friday, March 30, 2007. What can YOU do? So, we've spent this unit discussing the atmosphere as a resource, and some of the problems associated with our use of it as a dumping ground for our various activities. But what can WE do? How can we as individuals make an impact on GHG emissions? Although we are each responsible on average for emitting only about 5 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, can't we reduce this at all? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What can YOU do? Parkhill, Ontario, Canada.

Teaching Green: What is SFM?
http://aholmes-agreenernmdhs.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-is-sfm.html
Friday, April 27, 2007. Well, we all know what sustainability. Is And we know that forests. Are one of Canada's most important resources. But the use of forests generally means cutting them down because wood is a commodity. Thus proving the old adage. Wrong that money doesn't grow on trees. In fact, growing trees equals more money. But trees don't exactly grow fast. So shouldn't we be careful with how much we cut down? Shouldn't we take steps to ensure that trees are replaced as quickly as possible?

Teaching Green: Ozone Hole Causes Global Warming!?
http://aholmes-agreenernmdhs.blogspot.com/2007/03/ozone-holes-causes-global-warming.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2007. Ozone Hole Causes Global Warming! Waaaaay back in August, 2006 (ok, it wasn't that long ago, but sometimes it seems like a long time ago), David Suzuki himself wrote an article that you can find on enn.com, or you can just click here. So how well do you know climate change? Is your understanding on par, above, or below the average joe? Ps this is not for a blog entry, but for your own interest. Pps No, Emerson, I'm not going to use the Suzuki picture you'd like me to use.

Teaching Green: Taking the Lead on Lead
http://aholmes-agreenernmdhs.blogspot.com/2007/05/taking-lead-on-lead.html
Friday, May 25, 2007. Taking the Lead on Lead. That means that the particles that make up lead are atoms. Which cannot be chemically broken apart. It is soft, heavy, and malleable. If you cut a piece, it looks bluish white, but it quickly combines with oxygen in the air to form lead oxide. It doesn't conduct electricity all that well, but it is highly resistant to corrosion, so you can use it as a container for acids. The symbol for lead is Pb, which stands for plumbum. It is also a potent neurotoxin.

Teaching Green: Pale Blue Dot
http://aholmes-agreenernmdhs.blogspot.com/2007/06/pale-blue-dot.html
Monday, June 18, 2007. Although the name of this course is 'Environment and Resource Management', an alternative name could be 'The Art of Preserving the Human Race. We have looked at the importance of managing resources in such away that is ultimately sustainable. For future generations. In the majority of the situations we have looked at, we are currently not practicing sustainable methods, although there is progress being made, albeit slowly. Why can't we get there any quicker? Is considered the highe...
