Climate changes


Climate changes can have a positive effect, if is not rapid. For example, a warmer climate could provide higher yields in norther Europe but on other areas could cause drough and famine. But it is expeted that the disadvantages are far higher than the benifits.

Many adverse effects of climate changes are now largely irreversible, and even if emissions of carbon dioxide are locked, global temperatures will remaine high until the next centuries. An international team of researchers say that "People thought that if we failed to emit carbon dioxide, the climate return to normal in 100 or 200 years. This is not true.", says Susan Solomon of the National Admistration for the Oceans and Atmospheric Admistration (NOAA) of the United Sates.

So genetic engineering has had many good benefits and bad benefits along our history. But still we need it every day and for some people this outcomes means life or death. The manipulation of genes can be dangerous because we can create a CARROT MONSTER!!!!!!!! Like this->

Bad outcomes of Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering also has many bad outcomes. This is very dangerous because new versions of bacteria, virus, and pathogens can be created. These new forms of virus and bacteria can be stronger and deadlier. We may not be able to fight them off and we can die or have really bad health problems for the rest of our lives as an outcome. When scientists manipulate genes to make a new stronger version of any gene, sometimes their work doesn’t work as planed and it is made a weaker version of this gene. This is dangerous because now the part of the bad that the gene belongs is now weaker and it is putting the body’s health at risk.

Good Outcomes of Genetic Engineering



Genetic engineering has many good outcomes. Vaccines for example, are used every day by thousand of hospitals and medical centers and they are made from genetically engineered virus. This virus is dead or weakened. Another thing that was made through genetic engineering and is used by millions of people is Insulin. Insulin is made by taking the insulin gene from the human chromosomes and replacing them in bacteria and now that bacteria will reproduce and make human insulin.

What is genetic manipulation or genetic engineering?

Genetic engineering is the process of removing genes and relocating them in other cells or bacteria.
This new technology is very important because we can manipulate our own DNA in many ways and create stronger immune systems, better physical ability and smarter brains. We can creature a new version of any species by changing their DNA and making them have other traits that they didn’t have.

Toxic Waste


Toxic waste can kill or injury living creatures and it can be easily spread and contaminates soils and water. Some companies, instead of paying a fortune to safely throw out their toxic waste, they simply dump it in rivers, lakes and in the sea. This cause the death of fishes and can end in a fishing boat, humans eating this fishe can get injured or even dead getting seriouse diseases.

This is a serious probleme that some industries, illegally, don't respect to save some money but ending by killing many living creatures.

Recycling colors

The colors of recycling are the color of recycling bin to indicate the material that recycles:

Blue – paper:
Deposit:
-packaging of milk and juice
-paper bags
- Magazines and newspapers
No deposit:
-fat card
-bags of cement
-diapers


Green – glass:
Deposit:
-bottles
-jars
No deposit:
-mirrors
-cups


Yellow – plastic:
Deposit:
-bags
-Styrofoam
-bottles
-can
No deposit:
- Packages of butter
- Batteries
- Cutlery
