=Allegheny National Forest=

1) The Allegheny National Forest is home to many resources such as oil and hunting and even was a home to the early settlers in the 1800. The Allegheny National Forest is known for camping beautiful scenery and the large amounts of animals and wild life developing their. The Forest during the 1850 and 1900 supplied many settlers moving from the west in there needs of wood for building stores, houses, and anything that calls for wood. They all so used the wood for making paper. The forest was probably one of the highest places to support the demand of wood for the mines being developed and the railroad tracks. They forest also develops chemicals such as charcoal, wood alcohol, acetic acid, and a few others.

> List some of the ways that areas are coping with water shortages and making water available.
 * Individual work: Place this on your Individual page and and label "water shortages" (use heading 1)**
 * 1) Look at some of the articles on this site http://www.scientificamerican.com/report.cfm?id=water

=Activity A=

Yes countries that use the most water have the greatest population also no the ones that have the least population don't use the least water. India- water use 667 population-1050 Pakistan water use 178 population-150
 * 1) Which countries are the largest consumers of water? India has the largest consumption of water.
 * 2) How is this map different from other world maps? How is displaying the data this way better than a regular chart? You can understand the data better and understand each countries water level.
 * 3) Do the countries that use the most water also have the largest populations? Do those that use the least have the least populations? Give two examples for each.

=Activity B=

An example of nonpoint source pollution can be found here: Litter and debris in water ways

Trash island
 * 1) Why is this a problem? How did it happen- The birds are eating the things people shouldn't be throwing out. once they eat it they are being contaminated and dying. This is a problem because they birds are dying off because of the pollution.
 * 2) How is human health, aquatic organisms, and other organisms affected- Give an example of organisms affected and the problems it is causing. All of the humans, organisms, and other organisms are being effected by the all different kinds of pollution because people think throwing anything away is helping its not. Animals just go by what they smell and the only thing that should be in you garbage is food that's it, everything else should go in to a recycelable bin where it can be properly disposed of. I think that if animals new it was bad then they would stay away just like we do with stuff in our life.
 * 3) What steps do you think need to happen in order to stop this from becoming a larger problem- I think that we should have a better litter control and higher fines if caught contaminating the ground. We should try to invent a place that cleans more water faster but uses way less energy.
 * 4) Our households are a major problem of pollution. Read the articles here and there . What should people do to reduce water pollution that affects all of our water- The materials that could contaminate the ground you should keep away from drains and the ground so they will not contaminate the ground water. By recycleing and deposeing the old materials and use nontoxic materials within your household. We also need to conserve water and use all natural fertilizers.

= Our 10 questions = 1. How is Global warming going to change the future? Global warming is going to change the future by changing atmospheric temperature and will have corresponding changes in the climate which will result in the green house effect. 2. What all does Global Warming effect? if effects the average temperature of the earths temperature, the climate, all species, and everyday living. 3.what happens to the animals? Some species are actually laying eggs earlier than usual. The animals are not in hibernation as long as usual.

=** Activity 4 ** : What causes indoor air pollution? = = = Using this site: [] Work in teams to identify the 12 pollutants listed. In your group, you need to cover all 12 pollutants. Take notes on each of these points and put the information on your team page. Gas Coal Wood Tabacco-products What causes these pollutants? These pollutants are caused by everyday products that are in our households and that factories make. What health effects are caused by these pollutants? These products and cause cancer, asthma, headaches, flu type symptoms, multiple different gases and worst of all they can all cause death. What can be done to reduce the amount of these pollutants indoors? I believe that theres nothing you can do there is to much of those materials In the world already and it will take to long to get rid of them but to try is use more all natural thing and try to get rid of Tobacco and to use more go green products. Try to invent a motor that has the same power as a deisell motor but is made to run on more natural substances.
