Plastic bags

You cannot think of anything, because everything comes from natural resources

plastic

Everything comes from the Earth, and has an impact on the earth.

Cell phone

Everything is either grown or mined!

We need to be good stewards of the Earth

Amen, Kent.

Earth will be just fine without humans.

nice to see you on another nSTA webinar Kent--

Great to see you and thanks

HI Yvegney

Hi

To use put solar energy to use, we need panels (made from natural resources) or plants to absorb it.

Wow!

For sure, Betsy. To harness that energy into a resource for a consumer product (i.e. electricity, heat)

Cool - did not know that!

Otzi!

Ouch!

Questions slide coming up soon

All the slides available here: https://learningcenter.nsta.org/mylibrary/collection.aspx?id=WAEib3Ruirk_E

Build a bloom!

Can we over mine theses materials?

It is more like limited resources

Just reflecting on the human power needed to get these materials… many lost their lives obtaining materials— thinking of the cultural impact…

coming from Nevada, mining is a big deal here! I was curious about that as well

I was amazed too, Flavio. I may have missed the source, but where did that data come from?

Can (have?) we reduce(d) these amounts used significantly by recycling?

My environmental class plotted zinc resources vs. population growth, very interesting

To conserve, OPEC nations have a policy of 'controleed drilling' I guess

**controlled

Peak oil refers to the hypothetical point at which global crude oil production will hit its maximum rate, after which production will start to decline.

I am reading a book about overuse of sand as a building resource

book title?

whats the name of the book?

Actually we passed the original Hubbard peak, but we didn’t know about fracking and tertiary recovery originally?

Does mining have an impact (or will in the future) on necessary minerals in soils? (Meaning, those minerals won't be there to weather and erode back into the land, etc)

What about mining asteroids?

The World in a Grain

EDC Earth Science

Thank you!

I teach in a oil parish in Louisiana, I always feel like I am stepping on toes when I teach my 5th graders about oil spills and human impact caused by oil.

The use of mineral resources is directly linked to the capitalist model and our society view of exploration

Or what happens when the mining destroys the environment. Short term gains because people need the funds to survive, but ultimately survival is limited because of environmental damage.

Sorry, The World in A Grain by Vince Beiser

Does mining will lessen the important components of the soil?

Mining is being used as a way of earning income of some people.

Yes, look at the hillsides of PA, WV, KY for all of the “boney” piles from coal extraction.

mining is what drives Northern Nevada along with gambling

Our little town has become the mountain bike capital of the Midwest— due to trails built on the piles of tailings from the mining

A silver lining in the black cloud of our current pandemic…..less air pollution and clearer skies.

Tragedy of the Commons is another reason we shouldn't allow oil extraction from federal public land. Oil companies will benefit, but the rest of us will lose.

Yes, thank you for the Daily Do's!

Late in the curve (post-peak), production declines because of resource depletion.

Conservation vs Preservation

Yes Katrina

Scientists have cited that although the lesser air pollution is a positive and clearly illustrates our impact, if we do not emerge from this with stronger air-pollution and climate change policies, the clearer air will be but a blip.

NSTA Daily Do on CO2 reduction: https://new.nsta.org/lesson-plan/how-does-pandemic-cause-less-co2

How does this relate to frontier/sustainable ethics?

Can you post the link for freakononmics from the slide?

Earth-observing satellites have detected a significant decrease in the concentration of a common air pollutant, nitrogen dioxide, which enters the atmosphere through emissions from cars, trucks, buses, and power plants. The drop, observed in China and Europe, coincided w/ stringent social-distancing measures on the ground.

The views are connected in that the "ecosystem services" provided by the habitat have to be estimated in value even to evaluate the Development view of maximum benefit.

Thank you!

Thanks Don!

Thank you for addressing

Who made the pod cast Are u a Wizard or a Prophet?

Charles Mann book I think

This is not a new problem. However, population (the vast number of people on earth now) makes it a bigger problem. Has broader impact on the earth as a whole.

Biblical refrence to the book of Ephesians

Not just population but technological progress

My husband’s from Turkey - sitting right here. :) We went to Ephesus and I had SO many questions because it kept referring to it as a port but now it’s like 10-20 miles inland.

New Orleans lol

Yes, I wonder if New Orleans will be the same size it is in 20 years time.

There is a quarrie near my house

The Bellwood Quarry in Atlanta, Georgia

oh wow that is very cool.

Excited to use this with my students

Ephesus on the coast of Ionia, three kilometres southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey.

Tillamook Bay, Tillamook, Or. used to be a major ocean barge port prior to WWII. Due to intensive clear cut logging and devastating forest fires the bay has now silted in so it is no longer navigable to any commercial vessels other than small fishing boats. All within the last 80 years.

Emine is in Turkey.

Roy, that is intense.

Back home in Eugene, OR the Willamette River had sand beaches near the university just 50+ years ago. Now, however, due to gravel and sand mining, there are no beaches whatsoever, and from above you can see the scoop marks in the bed of the river!

We see google earth

Yes

cool!

The city was destroyed by the Goths in 263, and although rebuilt, the city's importance as a commercial centre declined as the harbour was slowly silted up by the Küçükmenderes River. It was partially destroyed by an earthquake in AD 614. The ruins of Ephesus are a favourite international and local tourist attraction.

Ooh, you are so right about NoVa!

This is a great, especially to show students, and give them some sort of visual concept

thanks E!

Awesome

to the credit of "Gold Rush's"" Shawn Ryan: I actually give a lot of credit to my gold discoveries based on the mushroom picking. Because I was able to understand, scientifically, the parameters of why these mushrooms grow up here. And roughly how many are going to come out of each different fire. These mushrooms come one year after a forest fire. And it only happens for a month. It's kind of like magic. They magically appear. And it's only in that period of time in history. And then they go dormant for the next 200 or 300 years, or until the next forest fire. This type of work also eludes to the importance behind ecosystem protection and careful extraction methods if and when the evidence is clear that not only will the ends justify the means in terms of a massive gold find, this stresses the attention towards practice and ecosystem protection.-- Not to back track but I felt this being a "fun fact" worth sharing.. it took a second to find it hence the late reference. but perhaps putting their claim to test

Agreed Alison!

given google earth **

Your Welcome!

I highly recommend https://earthshots.usgs.gov/earthshots/ for going through time - have used with students in several ways

Thanks jcarrick!

Does anyone know if Google Earth works on Chromebooks? It didn't use to and I haven't tested it recently and I don't have a Chromebook at home.

ive seen this quarry site in Carrara -unreal

Yes it works on chromebooks, but not sure google earth pro does

Love the tour and the size of the marble!

https://theanthropocene.org/http://gigapixel-theanthropocene.org/Carrara

Just Googled it and it says not on Chromebook (Pro version)

The five Rs

Many of the landfills in MA and CT are now covered with solar panels and are adding to the power grid.

Thank you for sharing Christopher

In Beaver County, we recently have a HUGE a Shell cracker plant for fracking being built. I have done some research on the chemical repercussions to water resources, air quality, etc. What will be the potential ecological, geological, environmental repercussions of that project?

WE need the EPA

how do you deal with dangerous cliff faces (eg, basalt quarry where the basalt was carried away)?

Thats was BP is doing by drugeing the land up they need for their ships then using it to build back the wetlands destroy. But I feel like they are still hiding the ecosystems by dredging

Dreading*

Hindering the ecosystems

Katherine is that in PA?

Yes, Dannah

What is the relationship between green space, LEEDs and the 5 R's?

Thank you.

Great idea!

https://www.edenproject.com/learn/for-everyone

Are you from PA, Dannah?

https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/what-is-the-tin-coast

No, I do research on fracking and its effect.

affect...sorry.

Ah, neat!

Thank you, I especially loved some of the tips such as the time slider. Super useful!

thank you!!

survey monkey?

Thank you for your presentation. It was very interesting.

Nature is taking a breath when the rest of us are holding ours.

this was excellent - as an ap bio teacher who may be teaching envi studies next year this was really helpful

Thank you so much!

You're Doing Great!

What about the certificate?

Very interesting! Thank You for your expertise? BTW, how many countries have you had the pleasure of visiting for lecturing purposes?

thank you very much very informative.

This was an amazing webinar.

Thanks

Excellent presentation. What do you think will be the outcome of all the fracking going on in PA, OH, WV? And the compression factories being built to be able to transport the gas?

Thank you to all of you!

Thank You So Much!

Thank you for all the free resources for us to use with our students!

Leaving now for the next meeting!
