Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industrys standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

How Does Ozone Pollution Affect Ecosystems and the Environment?


Ozone pollution can damage vegetation and ecosystems within and downwind of cities. For instance, ground-level ozone interferes with the ability of plants to grow and store food.

Ozone also can damaged the foliage of trees and other vegetation, tarnishing the visual appeal of ornamental species and urban green spaces.In addition, ozone transported downwind of cities can reduce crop and forest yields.This makes more susceptible to disease, insects, other pollutants and harsh weather.



What Health Effects Are Associated with Ozone Exposure?


Exposure to ambient ozone, even at low levels, may trigger a variety of health problems, especially in vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory disease.
There are specific health effects associated with ozone exposure. The specific health effects include:
  • Ozone can irritate lung airways and cause inflammation;
  • Repeated exposure to ozone pollution for several months may cause permanent lung damage;
  • Even low-level exposure can result in aggravated asthma, reduced lung capacity, and increased susceptibility to respiratory illnesses; and
  • Studies have linked hospital admissions and emergency room visits to ground-level ozone exposure.

Ozone pollution can harm urban trees and other vegetation.

How Does Excessive Heat Affect Human Health?


Do you know that the heat can effected human health?? Actually, extremely hot weather can result in illness – including physiological disruptions and organ damage – and even death. Excessive heat events, or abrupt and dramatic temperature increases, are particularly dangerous and can result in above-average rates of mortality.


Ozone forms when precursor compounds react in the presence of sunlight and high temperatures.

Heat, Health & Environment


Heat, Health & Environment

Hello everyone!! Here we try to discuss about the heat islands, do you know what heat islands is? Now, compared to rural areas, cities experience higher rates of heat-related illness and death. The heat island effect is one factor among several that can raise summertime temperatures to levels that pose a threat to public health.
Other factors that contribute to heat-related illness and death in urban areas are
§         pre-existing health conditions
§         access to air conditioning
§          population age
§         within-season temperature variation.


Ozone pollution, which can form in the presence of heat, affects human health.
Under certain conditions, "excessive heat" also can increase the rate of ground-level ozone formation, or smog, presenting an additional threat to health and ecosystems within and downwind of cities.

Green Economy


Hey guys, today we would like to share with all of you about the green economy. Hove you heard about that?

'Green' economy is a fast growing new economic development model in contrast to the existing 'black' economic model based on fossil fuels, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The green economy is based on knowledge of Ecological economics that aims at addressing the interdependence of human economies and natural ecosystem and the adverse impact of human economic activities on climate change and global warming. Green economy includes green energy generation based on renewable energy to substitute for fossil fuels and conservation for efficient energy use. The green economy is considered being able to both create green jobs, ensure real, sustainable economic growth, and prevent environmental pollution, global warming, resource depletion, and environmental degradation.



So, this is how the green economy takes place and this is how scientist and the economist now try to do all these things in order to save the environment in other world the other alternative to save environment. 
We hope by this information, you guys can think further why we need to save the environment. All people I the world try harder to achieve this mission so why don’t think this way? HELP THE WORLD!!!






The Effect of Global Warming:Ice Melting???


Hello friend!!Hope your are in pink of health.As usual, we would like to share with all you about the current issue regarding the effect of global warming toward our Earth.Do you know what are the effect of global warming?As we know, nowadays all people around the world talk about the increasing of water at ocean.This is because ice had been melted at the North pole.Let explore this topic together.


Actually, global warming cause the increasing of greenhouse gas emission.It also caused the increasing of carbon gases which are from water vapor, carbon dioxide ,and carbon monoxide.

Due to global warming, reduction of ice in the coming decade will be more dramatic.This is because when the ice melts, the ocean will send more heat to the North pole and the vast open water will absorb more sunlight and consequently accelerate the process of melting ice.



How to overcome ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION !!!


Nowadays, we need to look further to save the environment from dangers of pollution.
There are some countermeasure that we can taken to tackle pollution.

The steps that can be taken are:

a.prohibits burning of garbage in the open area.
b.enforce laws to control the release of toxic gases from factories and vehicles.
c.build factories far from residential areas.
d.control  of construction activities,mining and logging.
e.the public to be aware of environmental hygiene.
f.carry out the process of recycling waste materials.






   

Source of water pollution!!!


Predefined water pollution as directly or indirectly change on physics either in feature, thermal, chemical and biological.

Water pollution can happen directly or indirectly. Direct pollution including disposal inside garbage system temporary water drainage indirectly pollution is like soil erosion process.


There were 3 directly water pollution main causes were namely:

a)   domestic waste

b)   industrial waste

c)   agricultural waste



Pollution,pollution and pollution!!!


Now, we will get more information about the pollution. What is Pollution?Pollution can be defined as interference or damage on environmental cleanliness polluted materials collection result.On the other hand, pollutant might be decomposed or no might be decomposed.Pollutant might be decomposed is material organic and pollutant might be decomposed are such as heavy metal.


Furthermore,pollution can be defined with even easier as nature change from those circumstances to the other situation which is undesired due to from material production and release polluted either on purpose or no.


There are four types of pollution in the world namely:

a)     water pollution
b)     air pollution 
c)     thermal pollution
d)     noise pollution


CrAFt FrOm ReCycle MaTeRiaLs


Last post we talked about recycle includes the advantages and what materials that we can reused back. This next post, we will share with all of you some tips and ideas in order to make our recycle things become more creative and interesting.


For example we creating a Tin Can Herbs Pots which is the materials that we recycles from the tin can. By designing the can with colorful water color or wrapping paper, you can have a very beautiful pots. This can also we can used as Scrap Cloth Pencil Holder.



Next, did you guys using file holder? Where did you guys bought? Why not you design or creating your own? We can used the cereal box like cornflakes box by cutting a top of that box (halfway across top of box), cut 45 degree angle down to front of your magazine holder and cut straight across then back up other side at same angle. It amazing right? You don't have to buy at shop which so expensive and actually you pay for the patterns of your file holder. If the holder have many cartoons, flowers, that will be count. Better do it by yourself. Save money and very satisfied.



There are many things that we can recycles and reused back. This actually brings us how to make green craft, help saving money and we also can find out how to recycle creatively. Using all the ideas that we have, we can transform paper bags, glass bottles and other items into craft masterpiece. Let's all "Craft Green" yay!

ReCyCle FaCts


Now, lets talk about recycle. We think everyone know how worse our Earth with global warming impacts that actually "made from us" or we can say that the main come form the air pollution. many society and institutes includes our government meeting together in order to find out the best solution on how to face this problems which can give the impacts for many years. Thus, one of the thins we can do it by recycle.


As you know, recycling is the conversation of waste products into new materials, such as waste paper, which can be converted new paper goods. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy. plus, recycling can reduce pollution and saves energy. The reason is, recycling saves energy primarily because it reduces the need to extract and refine natural resources. For many materials. the energy to recycle is less than the energy needed to make it from scratch, even  after factoring the energy involved in collecting and sorting recyclables.


Did you know, there are many benefits that we can get form recycle things?

  • Lower raw materials cost from recycle sources
  • Increased production efficiency
  • Reduce waste disposal
  • Reduce energy consumption in manufacturing process
  • Reduce reliance on imports

    Things that we can recycles:
    • Glass
    • Paper
    • Plastics
    • Paint
    • Clothing
    and many more....






    So, lets try to save our environments by recycling the thins. If we really want to save our earth, we cannot just wait from other people. We can starts by doing this things at our home, workplace at also to our surrounding.

    Nature and its Beauty...



    Hey Guys,
    Last week, we have shared with all of you about what the wilderness means to the environment. So, today, we would like to give tell you guys about another example of environment it is. Nature refers to the phenomena of the physical world and also to life in general. The concept of nature as whole the physical universe and within the various uses of the world today, it may be refer to the general realm of various types of living things for example plants, animals also the particular types of things that exist and change their own accord such as weather and geology of the Earth (e.g. energy, matter) which all of this things are composed.

    Basically, it often that natural environment or wilderness can be such as wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches and so on. Other than that, Earth, geology, atmosphere, climate, weather, oceans, lakes, rivers, ecosystem wilderness and life and much more are in natural categories. For example is Earth. Earth is natural features and very subjective to many field of scientific research. Earth has been evolved through geological and biological process that has left traces of the original conditions.


    Although human currently comprise only a minuscule proportion of the total living biomass on Earth, human can affect on nature is disproportionally large. The reason is, human influence the boundaries between what human regards as nature and made environment. As human, we employ nature for both leisure and economic activities like hunting, fishing and so on are both substance and leisure.

    What is Wilderness ?


    Today we will explore more about the wilderness.Everyday,we have been heard about the wilderness but sometime we did not know what is exactly it means,right? So,here Haryati and I try to simplify the information regarding the wilderness.


    What is Wilderness? 


    Wilderness can be defined as land remaining in basically wild condition well known as undisturbed, with few if any traces of human activities. For example like animal and plant. Generally, wild animal are living in the forest and also same with the plant. This because the wilderness is really needed to preserved the forest from being destroyed in order to balance the life on Earth.

    Furthermore,wilderness areas are large tracts of land which have retained a natural character having little or no evidence of man. These areas are protected and managed in order to safeguard their virtually unpolluted condition. As being mentioned the wilderness areas are primeval and peaceful places, providing people with recreational and spiritual opportunities not often found elsewhere.These areas represent an unspoilt natural environment and are of great scientific value.



    Do you know where is the wilderness area in the world?


    Here we have found by referring to the website,there are some of area in South Africa which nine proclaimed wilderness areas enjoy the highest possible legal conservation status.Sections of nature reserves and national parks are also managed as wilderness areas. While, in the Western Cape, Cape Nature Conservation manages four wilderness area which are very valuable in terms of their conservation,outdoor recreation and water yielding qualities.


    What are you expect in a wilderness area?


    Actually, wilderness areas are part of our environmental heritage and are open to public. However it is important to retain essential primitive quality and for this reason visitor numbers and activities are controlled. Activities which lend themselves to the wilderness atmosphere include hiking, climbing, swimming, bird watching and photography. Wilderness user should be fit and adequately equipped. 

    For example, we would like to share our experience about our camping Tasek Bera which can be categorized in the Wilderness program.


    Here we would like to share our experience regarding the wilderness program. Last week, we went to Tasek Bera which had been known as wetlands. It also can be categorized as the wilderness area. The purpose we going there are for camping and had experienced doing the water sampling for our course project.


    During the camping, we had experienced on how to preserve the Tasek Bera from being polluted which are we need to educate Orang Asli from doing some of activities that can polluted the water such as let them know that the agriculture activities which had been done by them can polluted the water.


    Besides, we also had experienced jungle trekking in order we were given a task on plant the herbs plants in the forest. This is called the way to preserve the wilderness on Earth. Even we were going there for a holiday and have fun but we also got the chance to devote for the environment in order we are exposed on how to respect the environment. There are too many activities related to wilderness which are:


    a) Lake Kayaking




    b) Jungle Tracking


                                         


    c) Planting Herb Plant

    House of leaves…



    Hello friends,

    Just now,we want to let all of you know what is the exactly natural environment mean.Come on let explore more about it!!!

    Natural environment is the relationship between living life and non-living which are well known as abiotic and biotic life on Earth. There are too many scopes that we can relate to the natural environment which are wilderness, composition, geological activities, oceanic activities, river and lake, atmosphere climate and weather, biomass, ecosystem life, and biogeochemical cycles. These scopes are related to each other so, that we will explain every scope in detailed in this space. (n_n)



    We always heard the natural environment everywhere but some of us still do not know the exactly environment mean and actually it really means a lot to us!!!. We will put extra information regarding the topics to let you understand and get the information here.


    First Edition..(n_n)



    Hey Guys!!!
    This is the first time ever we creating a blog.. Same as you all.. hehehehe.. By the way.. this task quite tough and we really enjoyed this.. (",). But first thing first, of course we would like to introduce to all of you about ourselves and what actually this blog all about.
    n_n


    I'm Farah Nazila and my partner Haryati, we are from Environment Section group (BCE-ex) and just now we are in Semester 2. Is this too formal Yati???


    "I think so... ^_^..."


    But never mind... As long as we need to finish our blog, it doesn't even matter... and you guys also feel the same way like us.


    So, this blog we have decided to share is about "Environment". We know some of you maybe think these topics are too familiar but there are so many things that we can learn and gain knowledge. Believe it!!!


    Furthermore, the scope in environment can bring us many benefits to people all around the world. As we know, all people either scientist, researcher, community or institutes corporates together to preserve the Earth and environment from global issues.
