Environment Reflection

For the past two weeks in Cultures Class, my classmates and I have done two presentations on the environment. The first presentation was about the affects of natural disasters on the environment. My groups presentation was about the Aral Sea. When we learned about the destruction that man reeks on the ecosystem simply for our own needs, I was able to see just how fragile our planet is how it is our duty to keep care of it. If we were able to find a renewable source of water for our cotton plants, then we would not have to take water from a place that once fertile sea to a dried up dessert.
Affects of humans on animals.

The second presentation that I was a part of was about invasive species and their affects of the planet. I was able to learn that we are really killing our own world. The Chinese Privet, a beautiful plant, chews up an immense amount of top soil and deems it almost un reusable  One inch of top soil takes roughly One Hundred years for the earth to make. But we still are buying the Chinese Privet because they make good hedges.
