Journey of the tundra swan

In this weekend, I watched the photo story named "Journey of the tundra swan" . This photo talks about "Tens of thousands of tundra swans make the annual journey from the Arctic to their Atlantic wintering grounds. The largest congregation can be seen in Winona County." It talks about Tundra swan. This bird is very beutiful shape and color. I think the photos are very helpful to understand about the specific topic. When I saw this photo story, I feel vivid and I feel like with lots of swan. In addition, almost of readers prefer photos to text. Photo is more attractive than article. If we use photo when we explain something, it helps to understand what this story talk about. Therefore, I think photo is very useful like my blog's name. Besides, I like to see photos very much instead of complecated text.

What the Heck is Geothermal Energy?

I read an article named "What the Heck is Geothermal Energy?" from the website about protecting our environment. Actually, I didn't hear what Geothermal Energy it is. I think it is very unfamiliar energy source. The Geothermal Energy is an alternative energy source likewise solar, wind, and biofuels. However, you guys only hear about solar, wind, and biofuels.

What the heck it is? You can watch a video about Geothermal Energy when you click link which I mentioned above. Geothermal Energy has many uses. For example, many farmers have used this energy to hear their greenhouse. Some countries especially Italy and Hungary have been using Geothermal Energy for a very long time.

Geothermal Energy is very simple formation. The electricity that comes from heating water, and from using that hot water. Heating water can make very high temperatures and steam, which work in many ways.

I think that alternative energy sources are very useful instead of other energy sources. It is because it makes less pollution. We should develop more alternative energy sources.

EPA studies pollution in Yakima water (water pollution)

I read an article about water pollution today. The title is "EPA studies pollution in Yakima water". The main point is that The U.S Environmental Protection Agency is handling ground water contamination in the Lower Yakima Valley. The EPA action wants to deal with the long-standing problems of nitrates which is an odorless compound found in soil and water.

In conclusion, The EPA makes a plan to examine ways to claim the underground water contaminaion. In these days, with the develpment of the society, we have to care more about environment for our generation.

Off Endangered List, but What Animal Is It Now?(Environment)

Today, I read an article about endanger species because our group subject is environment. Our group thought in class that endanger species are the one of the most important issues in environmental section.

This article named "Off Endangered List, but What Animal Is It Now?" talk about The Great Lake gray wolf. And the main point is that The Great Lake gray wolf is off the endangered species list. The wolf successfully recovered from an encounter with extinction and officially removed it from the endangered species list.

Maybe you guys have a question how to get rid of it from the list. The solution is that the wolf boomed 4,000 population in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Wow, in Minnesota! I have to care about my body from the wolf when I go around the city. However, I am happy that the wolf successfully recovered from an encounter with extinction.
