The Cycle we all live in

Extraction


Image result for extraction of resourcesThis is First stage. Extraction is basically gathering resources from earth like (metal) Then shipping it off to production.

Production

This is the second stage of the cycle. the resources are transported to the production stage, mostly factory's to produce things we can buy and use.  This stage mostly is bad for the environment because the way they produce it, releases chemicals, toxins and pollution.
For example in the oceans and lakes, it affects the marine life for being exposed to these toxins, they have a high risk of death. Some people may also depend on fishing so because of the toxins the fish are no good if we consume them.

Distribution 

This is the third step in the cycle. Distribution is To Transport the products to stores. Then the products get sold to the customers.Image result for distribution

Consumption

Is the fourth step. Consumption is, people using the product for a time period. People may have a lot of products, which means they keep their old things and buy new ones, also maybe the old thing is still good but they want a new one

Disposal

The final step is disposal. Disposal is Trowing away the products they used. Most of the products that they buy, would get trowed away very quickly after buying it. For example a Iphone 7. Some or most people might immediately get rid of this and go get the newer version, such as the iPhone 8

This is the main thing that keeps the cycle going. You trow away your old products and keep buying new ones.

                                        Plastics Issues    Plastic causes issues. Like burning plastic, burning plastic causes toxic chemicals such as    hydroelectric acid, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, furans and heavy metals and also causes respiratory ailments and stress human immune systems. It also causes plastic pollution which is bad for the environment            Plastic in the Ocean Plastics also tend to be in the oceans and  water body areas. Since plastic is in the oceans, fishes and other sea animals get caught up in the plastics. Or the ocean creatures think its food so they eat the plastic. which causes them to die. This is also bad for us because when the fish eats plastic we catch and eat the fish. So the plastic dissolved into mercury then the fish have mercury then we eat it

So for all that i learned this unit i find geologist and how we shape are environment interesting. How we shape are environment is horrible. Because of all the green house gasses we burned, all the carbon dioxide in the air. We don't treat the environment that good. We can change this by using less green house gasses and things that make carbon dioxide, but people in the world don't really care because the effects of this didn't hit them yet but when it does.

pollution

We as humans destroy the environment  to get the things we want like (oil for are cars, and other fossil fuels). burning fossil fuels pollute the atmosphere   The internet shows that china is the number 1 polluter in the world. I think its because that most of the stuff that is made in the world comes from chinas factory's then there's lots of Co2 that goes in the air. What happens when Co2 rises in the air it stays there, then the energy that comes from the sun is trapped in the cloud of Co2. Then the co2 changes tempature since it absorbed the heat energy then that causes global warming.
