"Baseball Players Live Longer"

Being a baseball player is great as you get to travel often, get high pay, and do the job you love. But not only that, there are other benefits of being a baseball player. Studies have shown that baseball players have out-lived most of us and the average age of a person. Also, there is a specific role to get the maximum benefits, that is being a shortstop or second basemen. This is due to the reason for their lowest mortality risks compare to other players. This is proven in 2005 paper show that people who play stayed in MLB for 11 years lived 7.4 more years than the average American male. However, this doesn't always apply as mortality is unknown to people and there are many more concepts to determine how long a person will live. https://www.popsci.com/baseball-player-cancer-death/



"Ground-Dweller"

At the world second-largest volcano, is the most inhospitable place to live on earth. The soil there is similar to the surface of our close neighbor Mars. However, the air temperature rarely reaches above freezing and the soil can not get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit under the sun glare. In 2013, scientists found many mammal-dwellers. One of them was a species called Phyllotis xanthophylls, a yellow-rumped leaf-eared mouse that lives on the foothill and Andes and can be found living on a low sea level. This means that the mouse can withstand a wide range of elevation. Large-ear pikas, yaks, and blue sheep have been spotted as well outside their habitable zone. IT is unbelievable that there are animals living there. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/07/highest-dwelling-mammal-mouse-volcano/





"Bird With Long Toe"

It is found that there is a bird with a long toe its third digit is 9.8 millimeters long, about 41% longer than its second-longest digit and 20% longer than its entire body. It is unclear to the scientists what its main function of the long toes, however, scientists believed that the long toes help find food that is hard to reach as a hole in a tree. As scientists found that most modern birds do have a long third digit none of them have a different size toe. Marking this animal as a new species scientists called this new animal Elektorornis chenguangi, it is also part of the member of a toothed group clawed birds. This bird is like other tree-dwellers living and climbing on trees. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/ancient-bird-found-encased-amber-had-bizarrely-long-toe?tgt=nr





“Privacy On The Internet”

It is hard to avoid technology today as this century is the age of technological advancement. However, we are forgetting something important, as other people can access our information. For example, these past few days FaceApp came up with a new filter that can make your face age. It is amusing to play around with those filter but we are forgetting that once we click on the agree button of the policy, we are giving out all our personal info. As the people are able to look into your photos, the camera, and many more. This doesn’t mean that you are in danger but this does mean that the company has access to your personal info. It is important to consider before clicking the agree button. https://www.popsci.com/faceapp-privacy-security/






"Drought Or Flood"

Just a few days ago the south of America experiences a category 1 hurricane that became a tropical storm with strong winds and hard rain. In Ragley, Louisiana was reported as having 23.43 amount of rain. The flooding continues through Wednesday in the mid-Mississippi and Ohio valley. In the case of this emergency, we are unprepared for this kind of disaster as we don't have enough water supplies. As global warming continues weather gets more and more extreme. Areas prone to experiencing droughts and floods have longer days of drought and flood. If this keeps continuing then we couldn't farm anyone in the future as there would be more days of droughts and floods which will kill the plants. https://www.popsci.com/future-flood-drought-preparedness/





“Living On The Moon”

The reason why we couldn’t just abandon earth and just get on a rocket and fly to the moon to live there is that we would die if we don’t have the resources we need. Humans are fragile things when we are outside of space. As soon as we arrive at the moon the first danger we will face is producing enough oxygen. Without oxygen, we would die not long after we arrive on the moon. Scientists are coming up with an air filter that can filter out dust or waste particle and make it to breathable air as the air on the moon can be deadly to humans. The first plan is to build a gas station because of the trips we will be taking. It is unknown when we will have the first permanent settlement in outer space. https://www.popsci.com/live-on-the-moon/





“Goat’s Emotions”

Goats are not just cute and milk-producing animals, it is a smart and emotional animal. In the early study, scientists learned that goats can tell the different emotions between each goat. They join the group of animals that can understand emotions such as horses, sheep, primates, and many more. It is believed that the goats can express their emotions through their voices. It is believed that goats show a sign of happiness when bought with food and a sign of sadness when isolated from herbs. Goats are more than what we perceive them as and are way smarter. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/07/goats-can-differentiate-emotion-in-goat-calls/





“Housing For Everyone”

Everyone needs love, care, and a family and this includes for everyone especially for little kids. Every kid deserves love and care from their loved ones however, this is not the case for everyone as some kids. It even harder for kids with more medical needs as it is harder for them to find a home due to the fact that there will be more medical needs for them and not many people are willing to pay for the expenses. However, this actually makes the problem worse as hospitals need housing for the kids. It is important to not forget about the unfortunate kids who need a home. https://www.popsci.com/home-health-children-special-needs-illness/





“Unknown Meal”

Scientists recently found a meal in the stomach of a dinosaur and it is found to be Microraptor. This four-winged dinosaur was unearthed from the 130 million years old Jehol biota in which is where Northern China is today. Scientists were able to operate its stomach and learn that it eat lizards. Previous fossils were captured and it was found that it eats small mammals, fish or birds. Some species today also eat lizards very similar to a Microraptor. It is known that it eats anything that fits in its mouth. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/07/new-fossil-lizard-found-inside-microraptor-dinosaur/





“Small Little Dinosaur”

In Wyoming, scientists found a small three feet tall dinosaur, which is the oldest known relative of Velociraptor discovered in North America. It comes from 150 million years old rocks called Morrison Formation which covers much of the western part of the United States. Hesperornithes is said to be one of the earlier birds that evolve to become ground-dwelling rather than tree gliding or climbing dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were found by accident in 2001 fossil dig-up. When it was first found it was mistaken for a flying reptilian than a dinosaur. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/07/new-dinosaur-species-velociraptor-cousin-lori-may-upend-flight-evolution-theories/





“No More Finding Nemo”

It is found that light pollution is causing a huge troll for aquatic life. Light pollution is artificial light created by humans such as streetlights. Light pollution interferes with bird’s nocturnal migration, flower blooming earlier and sea turtle nesting. It is also found that some fish eggs are having a hard time hatching due to the lights and now the population is decreasing. One of the well-known fish is the clownfish, popular from the movie “Finding Nemo”. The eggs were fertilized with the light but they wouldn’t hatch. This causes many problems as there is no offspring being born. If this continues Nemo the clownfish will go extinct one day. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/07/these-fish-eggs-not-hatching-problem-light-pollution/





“Tree’s Age”

A person might be able to guess a person's age by just looking at their appearance, however, guessing the age of a tree won’t be very easy as one might think. In order to accurately guess the correct age of a tree, you need to cut the tree and count the rings around it. Under an ideal location, the tree will grow quickly leaving a lot of tree rings. Scientists have been using tree rings to crack up over 13,000 years of history. This use of study is called dendrochronology where scientists use the tree rings to cover history. Today dendrochronology is used for archaeologists sites and artifacts. You can go and visit museums to go and experience the tree ring yourself and feel the tree age. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/archaeology/how-tree-rings-date-archaeological-site/





“Melting Ice v.s. Whales”

It, not a surprising topic to bring up about global warming as it is one of our main concerns today as more and more carbon is released in the air. The first noticeable signs of global warming are the ice caps and not only are they home to many arctic animals but also have food sources within them. At the bottom of the ice caps, there are many algae living there which might not seem important. However, algae are very important in stabilizing the food chains as they provide food to fish and other aquatic animals which are eventually eaten by whales. If algae stop producing then it can cause major damage to the food chain and can cause huge destruction in the ecosystem. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/06/melting-sea-ice-brings-boom-and-then-bust-for-arctic-iconic-whales/





“Fourth Of July Firework”

On the Fourth of July, many people celebrate the country independence day by shooting fireworks in the sky. Many people believe that fireworks originated from America however, fireworks were made before America even existed. It dates back to around 200 B.C. in China where they made firecrackers out of bamboo stalks by using a gun-powder into pits of fire. This later on advanced and became a military weapon. Pretty soon fireworks spread across the world to Italy and Great Britain and they began producing fireworks during the Middle Ages. Fireworks are not only beautiful to look at but bring out our patriotic side of us. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/2019/07/how-fireworks-came-to-america/







“Chickens v.s. Beef”

If people were asked to pick chicken or beef, they would most likely pick beef over chicken. However, research shows that eating chicken over beef help reduce climate change. As raising cows, sheep, and lambs they admit a lot of methane into the atmosphere which produces greenhouse gases. Also, cows, sheep, and lambs graze on grasses and making their meats creates more carbon emission than eating chickens. Chickens have the lowest carbon emission meat of all the protein meats. Raising chickens to reduce the number of fertilizers needed, land, and carbon footprints in the atmosphere. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/06/choosing-chicken-over-beef-cuts-carbon-footprint-surprising-amount/





“Sea Turtles Not Land Turtles”

Sea turtles lived through the age of dinosaurs and survived the extreme extinction that killed all the dinosaurs that lived. However, today many sea turtles are dying because of human factors such as dumping trash on the beach, disturbing their nests and hunting them down. Due to climate change, biodiversities lost, and many other several factors. Six of the seven species are known to be threatened or endangered. It would be ashamed to know that the sea turtles survived through all these events but was later wiped out by humans. Today people are encouraging others to not bother sea turtles especially their homes. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/06/sea-turtles/





“Hyenas The Vicious Predators”

Hyenas have a bad reputation for a very long time, they been recorded in fables as one of the evil and vicious animals. But this comes down to their excellent hunting skills and great teamwork. Spotted-brown hyenas are usually lead by a alpha, which is usually a female. A clan depends on the population of the prey ranging from 10 members to 120 members. Vocalizing is very important for the hyenas, this can be used to call for more members when for example attacking lions. Hyenas are great hunters overall who spoils are most likely to be stolen by lions. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/06/hyenas-myths-lion-king-africa/





“Shark’s Dinner”

Many people would think that a shark diet would primary consists of fishes, and other marine life. However, scientists began to discovered that there may be more than that. Scientists found that inside the baby tiger shark stomach they found feathers of birds. They took all the feathers to analyze it and found that they mostly eat seabirds and terrestrial birds. Ever since then scientists began to find more baby tiger sharks and cleanse their stomach without hurting them and release them back to the sea. Over eight years of studying scientists had found that out of 105 sharks 41 of them had digested the birds remained in their guts. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/05/baby-tiger-sharks-eat-songbirds/





“Shark’s Menu”

Summer is coming and beaches are one of the most popular places for people to go and relax. Deep within these popular beaches live the most feared predators of all time the shark. Over the past years many of shark attacks reported are increasing. The most common types of sharks that are usually attack are the tiger sharks or the bull sharks. It is said that sharks attack due to curiosity or to defend themselves. There are two types of shark attacks, provoked and unprovoked. Provoked happened when shark fishing or spearfishing and unprovoked happened when the sharks confuse humans as their prey. It is important to stay away from the deep side of the ocean and stay near the shore .https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/06/150615-north-carolina-shark-attacks-science/





“Dinosaur Gems”

In Australia, Sydney in Lightning Ridge there scientists found the first planting eating family group found in this country. Lightning Ridge is already known for their marvelous opals. While digging for their opals they found an unexpected fossils that was Fostoria dhimbangunmal. Finding new fossils in Australia is new and exciting since there are rare and few dinosaurs found there. Australia with it region with a broad floodline creates a good environment for many vegetations to grow. Using these dinosaur fossils, scientists can use it to study how dinosaur were coping to their environments. At first, when discovered the fossils were mistaken as a skeleton until further studies. Finding Fostoria dhimbangunmal just proved that there might be more undiscovered dinosaurs buried deep inside earth. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/06/opal-fossils-reveal-new-species-dinosaur-australia-fostoria/





“Plastics”

As the amount of pollution increased during the years many countries over the world came together to negotiate the new policy to banned plastics. Geneva where all 180 countries agreed to make it the place to control the international hazardous waste. Under the treaty, it is required that the exporters must ask for a consent before importing their waste into the countries. However, China the world’s biggest importer of plastic scraps stop buying from non-industrial of plastic scraps. As the result of these changes other Asian countries including Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia have to be overwhelmed with all those shipments of plastics. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/05/shipping-plastic-waste-to-poor-countires-just-got-harder/





“Bermuda Volcano”

Not all volcanoes are not the same, but are formed in a similar ways. Well, most volcanoes are formed in a similar ways expect ancient volcano like the formation of the Bermuda island. After examining the rock layers deep inside the island,scientists discovered that this volcano is way different from the other volcanoes. To do a further research the scientists drilled near an airport and took the sample and kept it in storage at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia and was gathering dust. After many years of studies, the team found what was never discovered, the signature of the Bermuda volcano. After, the study many scientists began to make a new model of the new volcano and assume that there are many other volcanoes developed the sameway. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/05/bermuda-volcano-hybrid-unlike-others-on-earth-new-way-to-make-volcanoes/





“Self-Defense”

Summer around the corner, many people are already making plan for their summer. Camping as one of the most popular activities to do around summer is actually pretty dangerous when approached by a wild animals. While, some seem harmless or tiny those are the ones that cause the most harm. It is reported that between 2008 and 2015 in the United States 1,160 people were reported dead from animal encounters. To avoid this, give the animals some space and don’t feed them. It is tempting to see these cute little creatures however, getting near to them can do more harm than good. It is important to read some facts and informations before camping or do any kind of activities. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/reference/safety-animals-wildlife-attacks-national-parks/





“Artificial Reefs”

Today coral reefs are considered to be one of the most endangered ecosystem. It support the life of the sea and attracts many tourists with it brilliant and colorful skins. Now coral reefs are disappearing due to climate change and global warming. Now people are determined to save the beautiful reefs by adding their own artificial reefs into the ocean. Some people go from dumping logs to cars to old abandoned ships. However, just dumping any junks isn’t always helpful as now scientists are designing an artificially build reefs for the sea. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/05/shipwreck-habitats-help-tropical-fish-adapt-to-warming-waters/





“Sea On Land”

Ninety-nine millions years ago in Myanmar, it was a full beach full of trees. Today, there is a marine fossilized lump of amber was found inside the tree. It is known as the first recorded ammonite found in an amber. This extinct mollusks is the distance relatives of octopuses and squids. Scientists came to conclusion that the fossil came from the trees near the shoreline and picked up the ammonite shells. In this fossil it also contain other marine life such as snails, pillbugs, mites, spiders, and etc. These ancient fossils unlike our marine life today weren't able to adapted in time. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/05/ancient-ammonite-fossilized-in-tree-resin-burmese-amber/

“Thanks To Human”

Human have been known for destroying the natural habitats and the world forests. As they destroyed the natural geographic of the world it also affect the living factors living there. Animals living in those affected areas are forced to move out and survive the hardship of urban life. This can eliminate many species such as the South China tigers. Not only were the land affected the ocean life in the water have very little life left. In the tropical forests many insects have vanished and in grassland it slowly becoming a desert. If this type of trend continues pretty soon many animals would die out and we wouldn't be able to see the wonders of these great animals. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/05/ipbes-un-biodiversity-report-warns-one-million-species-at-risk/





“Popularity Of Cats”

Today, many cat lovers would do anything to please their cats which are treated as a king and queen. But today, we mostly did this because we couldn’t resist their cute looks and their adorable actions. However, back in the ancient Egypt, people would worship cats as god for many thousands of years. The fame rises during the 22nd dynasty of pharaohs who built a temple dedicated to Perbast. It is also mention in the bible and also in Hebrew known as Pibeseth. Also in the 2nd dynasty, Perbast sculptures can be found and the cat head deity became a normal representative to Old Kingdom. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/archaeology-and-history/magazine/2019/05-06/bubastis-egyptian-sacred-city-of-cats/





“Sin Of the Fishers”

Near, Lake Victoria the second largest lake served also as a place to cleanse the sin of guilty people. Also part of the lake is used to clean bad sins it also create bad sin as many fishermen widely use and fish. These fishermen were refugees and were trying to made a living by selling the fishes they caught at Lake Victoria. Many ecologist blame the British colonies for bringing tilapia and perch and invade the lake. In 2017 the Yoweri Museveni made fishing illegal in the second largest lake. Even if fishing kept increasing, many farmers now lost their livelihood and their house and wealth. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/05/uganda-military-cracks-down-illegal-fishing-lake-victoria/





“Regrowing Trees”

The main focus today is that we are cutting down too many trees from our forests. One of the solution is to replant them but many people don’t know that it cause more harm than help. Since trees cause a quarter of carbon and as they grow or burn they release four times the weights in carbon dioxide. Pakistan planted trees last year to make up the loss of forests and are now one of the most populated place. In California there was a huge forest fire near a swamp and it was still burning. This is because of the high amount of carbon dioxide released when the trees were burning.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/04/how-to-regrow-forest-right-way-minimize-fire-water-use/





“Running Out Of Oil”

Our main resources to keep our busy city running is the source of fossil fuels and oils. Without them there won’t be electricities and there won’t be cars and buses. We count on them for our daily life. However, both oils and fossil fuels are non-renewable source which mean there is a chance that one day it can run out. Today we are taking what we have for granted and now scientists are estimating when it would run out. It is estimated that our top producers which are Venezuela: 301 billion barrels,Saudi Arabia: 266 billion barrels, Canada: 170 billion barrels, Iran: 158 billion barrels, and Iraq: 143 billion barrels. It won’t be long till we use every bit of oils we have left.https://www.popsci.com/how-much-oil-earth-has-left





“Marsquake”

On April 6 scientists found an interesting discovery on our neighbor Mars. The Insight lander recorded trembling from the ground. As everyone expected the device recorded the first earthquake on Mars. This lead to further research on Mars crust and seismology and the wrong depiction people have on Mars. In cartoon people like to show Mars with metallic core and rocky mental and crust. However, the seismic events are small which mean that we won't be able to see it from Earth because of the higher noise Earth have. Another interesting thing was that the shape of the signal is more similar to the moon earthquake than the earth. Knowing that it is similar to the moon earthquake we can figure out how much water mars contain. https://www.popsci.com/insight-marsquake#page-3





“Easter Bunnies”

As cats and dogs are known for he most common household pets, rabbits are the third most common household pets to have. There are misconceptions about maintaining rabbits such as their life span of 2-3 years but in reality if it well taken care of a rabbit life span last more than 10-12 years. This is the reason why rabbits are considered to a beginner pet. Also since rabbits are known as exotic pet their insurance cost more and need more medical care. In general, rabbits will live a long and happy life with good care. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/04/rabbits-easter-animal-welfare-pets-rescue-bunnies/





“Fastest Animals

There are millions of different types of animals in the world and there are still some undiscovered. But the question is who is the fastest animals and the answer is it depends. The most well known animal is the cheetahs with their flexible spine which give them a bigger limb ranges. The next animal is the squids with their tentacled jets. Those long tentacles help suck water into the body and make the muscles in the body to move. At last, the hummingbird with their fast wings are too fast that human can only see a blur. There are many fast animals that are uncomparable with their body sizes. https://www.popsci.com/fastest-animals





“Deer Are Carnivores?”

Deers are known for their gentle and beautiful sight in the forests. They are known to be seen nibbling on grass or fruits. However, after a discovery from the Forensic scientists you may want to reconsidered this. On January 5, 2015 as they were looking back for research they saw a young deer with a human rib sticking out of it mouth. That is not the last time they saw it, they saw it again but not sure if it the same deer. This lead to conclusion that in the future herbivores will start eating carcass for more nutrients that they are missing. https://www.popsci.com/deer-eating-human-remains





“Dumbo Like Ears”

In mammals, elephants have been known for their big body and ears. They have big ears to cool down from their blood vessels. However, elephants are not the only mammals with huge ears, there are other mammals that also acquire the trait. For example, Jerbos is a rodent with ears that is one-third length of it body and it is used to cool down in hot temperature. Then there are bats with their large ears to help catch their next meal. Those big ears have detect the slight sound that the flies make by catching frequencies and soundwaves. While, foxes huge ears not only help them hear better but also reduce heat as well. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/04/biggest-ears-elephants-jerboa-bats/





“Coffee Legacy”

Farming is a lot of hard labor and to top it off to be a coffee farmer it takes a lot of work. On average, coffee farmers spent about 35 years of planting, harvesting, and processing coffee. Also not recently, retirement for the farmers were impossible and so many people left for the cities with less intense work. This mean that no farmers have no one to pass their farm onto and that mean no one to plant, harvest, and process the coffee. Now there are retirement for the farmers and farmers who sign up for retirement get Nespresso AAA certification and other benefits now. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/destinations/south-america/colombia/partner-content-colombia-aguadas-securing-livelihood-generations-coffee-farmers/





“Unhealthy Diets”

Every year, people died by a lack of nutrients such as processed meats and giant soda and lack of grains. Every year, 11 million of people died due to the lack of nutrients and bad diets. The most responsible death is because of too much sodium and lack of whole grains which claim 3 million lives in 2017. Now scientists found the likely risks of death and it usually apply to eating too much salts and too little beans. Eating fiber have no issue but then you shouldn’t smoke or sit around too much. Diet can improve by having less red meat such as processed meat and eat vegetables and fruits. https://www.popsci.com/diet-kills-more-people-worldwide-than-any-other-risk-factor#page-3





“History Of The Sakura Trees”

Every spring thousands of people gathered around the White House to see the captivating sight of the sakura trees. However, the trees weren’t there for more than a century ago and it was thanks to David Fairchild. He was searching for a plant that have economic value for farmers. In 1902 Fairchild found cherry blossom and ordered 125 trees to his home in Maryland. The owner Yokohama was very pleased with her american customer that she sold all trees for 10 cents. Since then the tradition of going to Washington D.C. to see the Sakura trees continues. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/topics/reference/how-cherry-blossoms-came-to-america/





“The Next Pangaea”

Everyday the tectonic plates shift a little and not long many scientists predict that we would have an another pangaea. Continents will collide with one another and many oceans will close off by lands. Some believed that North America and Asia will collide somewhere near Hawaii, while other believed that South America and Africa will meet and close off the Atlantic Ocean. But most all believed that after 100 million years we would have to redraw our map which will be very different from today. Just how will the new map will look will lead to many investigation and experiment such as using the magnetic field. https://www.popsci.com/where-will-earths-continents-go-next



“Manure to Feces”

Fertilizer are the key point in farming and agriculture, it is what give the soil nutrients that the plants need to grow. Before people count on manure to fertilize their soils but before that people actually depends on bird poop for fertilizing. As birds come and eat anchovies and many different types of fishes in Peruvian coastal island leaves many piles of bird feces. Also in many places they also uses ammonia which is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen and today it can be used as a fertilizer and it is responsible for feeding one-third to one-half of the world. https://www.popsci.com/wild-at-heart-excerpt#page-2





“Earth Is Round”

Today it is obvious that earth is round and it is considered ridiculous to argue wrong. Especially when technology is advancing. We know it by the moon phases as moon revolve around earth we can see it spherical shape which also proves that the earth is round and spherical. Also we can tell from the ships and the horizon. Long ago when travelers went on voyages and were confused when they came back from where they came from. Furthermore, you don’t have to do much research you can figure it out by looking through a telescope and looking at other planets which are round. https://www.popsci.com/10-ways-you-can-prove-earth-is-round#page-13




“Monkeys Hardship”

Gelada monkeys living at 11,000 feet from the ground have a sturdy everyday life. They spent their days looking for food such as herbs on the ground. Eating most of their day can be a challenge for the monkeys as there are predators around them. Fearing from predators such as lions and tigers to humans to their own kinds. Since many of them live near the cities there are more chances of them getting hit by cars and buses. Today many villages banned poachers and overgrazing to protect the monkeys. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/03/gelada-monkeys-survive-harsh-climate-in-ethiopian-highlands/





“Window Killing”

In urban cities it is common for skyscrapers to have glasses as a design. However, not many people know the danger of having glass. Especially, for migrating birds that headed north might be able to see the glass due to it reflection of the sky and could possibly run into it. This could kill them or hurt them tremendously as in hurting their wings and unable to fly which can be a big threat due to predators lurking the busy streets. Without birds the population of mosquitoes and other insects will increase. Also it will affect the economies for entertainment as bird watching will disappear because of the lack of birds. https://www.popsci.com/bird-window-collision-prevention





“Cold War”

After World War II, United States and Soviet Union began to hate and distrust each other. There would be many competition such as who would land on the moon first. The U.S. later began to fund to help the economies of Turkey and Greece. Which later on joined to become a non-communist state. Meanwhile, U.S.S.R joined to become a communist state and spent trillion of money on testing nuclear arsenal which bought the cold war even closer. The Cold War was the effect of distrust and competitive between the U.S. and S.U. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/topics/reference/cold-war/



“Methane From Trees”

One of the causes of global warming is the pollution being release in the air and a very common thing methane. Studies have shown that trees also produce methane, producing methane could be a huge impact on the world because methane is the second most cause of global warming after carbon dioxide; it is powerful at trapping heat such causes greenhouse gases. Although trees are helpful in getting rid of global warming, they are in fact also hurting the environment. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/03/trees-release-methane-what-it-means-climate-change/





“Welcoming Leopards In India”

Leopards which used to known as an endangered species are now being welcomed in India as their new homes.

"Eating To Death"
Our ancestors were known for killing many large animals for food such as: mammoths and mastodons and many more.

      • I would suggest splitting this sentence into two. The first sentence of the article should grab the reader's attention without being too long.
      • A colon isn't necessary unless you are listing more than just two animals.
      • Correction: Our ancestors were known for killing many large animals for food. These animals included mammoths, mastodons, and many more.


We were the reason why they went extinct by the Pleistocene, nearly 12,000 years ago our ancestors has already killed all the living animals.

      • The comma here can be replaced with a semicolon. This is because it is two different sentences, but very closely related.
      • Clarify what you mean by "they" went extinct.
      • There should be a comma after "nearly 12,000 years ago."
      • "Has" should be past tense.
      • Include "of" between "all the."
      • Correction: We were the reason why these animals went extinct by the Pleistocene; nearly 12,000 years ago, our ancestors had already killed all of the living animals.


To this day it haven’t change, we are still hunting large animals such as lions, tigers, and sharks.

      • "Haven't" should be "hasn't."
      • "Change" should be "changed."
      • A semicolon is necessary here in place of the comma. Using the comma to separate two independent clauses is considered a comma splice. But, the two clauses are too closely related to reasonably separate the sentence into two different sentences.
      • Correction: To this day it hasn't changed; we are still hunting large animals such as lions, tigers, and sharks.


It this doesn’t stop the animals would mostly likely be extinct by our future generations.

      • Switch "it" for "if."
      • There should be a comma after "stop."
      • Since you are speaking for the future, replace "would" with "will."
      • "Mostly likely" can just be "most likely."
      • You can drop the word "our."
      • Correction: If this doesn't stop, the animals will most likely be extinct by future generations.

      • By "this event," do you mean viewing it?
      • "Happened" should be "happens."
      • Correction: A meteor hits the moon every week or so, but actually viewing it happens infrequently.


Now scientists are taking a step on studying the moon crater.

      • There should be a comma after "now."
      • "Taking steps" makes more sense than "taking a step."
      • I would replace "on studying" with "to study."
      • Correction: Now, scientists are taking steps to study the moon crater.

Bloody Moon
On Sunday, January 20th, there was a blood moon. Many of those who were lucky enough to see it reported seeing dust coming from the moon. They thought that a meteor might have hit it. A meteor hits the moon every week or so, but actually viewing it happens infrequently. Now, scientists are taking steps to study the moon crater.

Water Floater The sea cucumber are also known as sea slug for their slow speed. However, not until recently scientists found that there is a major fact that isn’t discovered yet. Sea cucumber can balloon up and ride with the current of the ocean. Sea cucumbers are important part of the ecosystem because they vacuum the sand and release cleaner one. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/01/sea-cucumber-bloat-zoom-fast-animals-news/

Water Floater
The sea cucumber are also known as sea slug for their slow speed.

      • If you say "the sea cucumber" then that is singular, so "are" should be "is."
      • Include "the" before "sea slug."
      • Since you are using singular nouns, switch "their" to "its" to keep this consistent.
      • Correction: The sea cucumber is also known as the sea slug for its slow speed.


However, not until recently scientists found that there is a major fact that isn’t discovered yet.

      • "Not until" is unnecessary in this instance.
      • "Fact" should be switched for a different word. Perhaps "skill."
      • The words "that there is" can be removed. It's not incorrect to include, but it also isn't necessary.
      • If scientists discovered it, then it wouldn't make sense to say it isn't discovered yet. Try saying "that no one had known about."
      • Correction: However, recently scientists discovered a major skill that no one had known about.


Sea cucumber can balloon up and ride with the current of the ocean.

      • "Sea cucumber" should be "the sea cucumber," as it was above.
      • Correction: The sea cucumber can balloon up and ride with the current of the ocean.


Sea cucumbers are important part of the ecosystem because they vacuum the sand and release cleaner one.

      • Input "an" between "are important."
      • I think it could be beneficial to say "vacuum up the sand" rather than just "vacuum the sand."
      • Exchange "release cleaner one" to "release it cleaner."
      • Correction: Sea cucumbers are an important part of the ecosystem because they vacuum up the sand and release it cleaner

No More Plants Today there are too many amount of carbon being release in the air for the plants to even help. In 2018 United States the amount of fossil fuel being release went up to 3.4%. This is a major problem because not only can’t the plants help but it also harm the plants as well. Plants help absorb half of the carbon being release and there are still more carbon in the ocean which later become coral bleaching. https://www.popsci.com/plants-offset-carbon-limited

No More Plants
Today there are too many amount of carbon being release in the air for the plants to even help.

      • There should be a comma after "today."
      • "Too many amount" is incorrect grammar; exchange for "too much." In that case, the preceding "are" should be "is."
      • "Release" should be "released."
      • "Released into the air" is a slightly better alternative to "released in the air."
      • "For the plants to even help" could use stronger wording. Swapping "to even help" with "to keep up with" accentuates the heavy carbon output and sounds just a bit better.
      • Correction: Today, there is too much carbon being released into the air for the plants to keep up with.


In 2018 United States the amount of fossil fuel being release went up to 3.4%.

      • Rather than "in 2018 United States," try "in the United States in 2018."
      • Switch "being released" to "was released."
      • I think you mean to say that it went up 3.4%, rather than it went up to 3.4%.
      • Correction: The amount of fossil fuel that was released in the United States in 2018 went up 3.4%.


This is a major problem because not only can’t the plants help but it also harm the plants as well.

      • "Because not only" should be switched to "not only because."
      • Again, switch "the plants can't help" to "the plants can't keep up."
      • Saying both "also" and "as well" is repetitive. One can be deleted.
      • There should be a comma between ideas; before "but also."
      • Correction: This is a major problem not only because the plants can't keep up, but also because it harms the plants.


Plants help absorb half of the carbon being release and there are still more carbon in the ocean which later become coral bleaching.

      • The word "being" can be removed.
      • "Are still more carbon" should be "is still more carbon."
      • There should be a comma before "which."
      • Switching "will later become" to "will likely lead to" is a more appropriate choice of words because the carbon doesn't actually become coral bleaching, but it causes coral bleaching.
      • Correction: Plants help absorb half of the carbon release and there is still more carbon in the ocean, which will likely lead to coral bleaching.

Sleep Analysis

Sleep is one of the most important thing after food and water. It is recommended that a person is required to sleep an average of 7 or more hours of sleep. But now study show that Americans are sleeping less than they used to 13 years ago. Studies show that nearly one-third of adult americans sleep for less than 6 hours a day. Sleep is very important to maintain your body and your homeostasis. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/americans-are-sleeping-less-they-were-13-years-ago?tgt=nr

Sleep Analysis
Sleep is one of the most important thing after food and water.

      • Try replacing "things" with another word. Perhaps "human necessities."
    • Correction: Sleep is one of the most important human necessities after food and water.


It is recommended that a person is required to sleep an average of 7 or more hours of sleep.

      • You first say it is recommended and then you say it is required; the two conflict. You can simply remove "is required."
      • "Sleep" is a bit repetitive in this sentence. Swap "of sleep" for "a night" at the end.
      • Correction: It is recommended that a person sleep an average of 7 or more hours a night.


But now study show that Americans are sleeping less than they used to 13 years ago.

      • A sentence shouldn't start with "but." Switch the wording to "Studies show that Americans nowadays..."
      • Correction: Studies show that Americans nowadays are sleeping less than they used to 13 years ago.


Studies show that nearly one-third of adult americans sleep for less than 6 hours a day.

      • "Studies show" is repetitive. Instead, try "It is also shown."
      • "Americans" should be capitalized.
      • Correction: It is also shown that nearly one-third of adult Americans sleep for less than 6 hours a day.


Sleep is very important to maintain your body and your homeostasis.

E-cigarettes Addiction

The usage of e-cigarettes for teenage has been increasing more than before. In 2018, 20.8 percent of teenager said they had used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days from 11.7 percent from 2017. This huge increase could be cause of the brand Juul which contain more nicotine than other e-cigarette brands. Which causes more addiction and can lead to many health problems. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/e-cigs-use-teens-vaping-2018-yir?tgt=nr

E-cigarettes Addiction

      • Capitalize "E-Cigarettes."


The usage of e-cigarettes for teenage has been increasing more than before.

      • "Usage" means how something is used, whereas "use" means the act of something being used. So in this instance, "usage" should be swapped for "use."
      • "Teenage" should be "teenagers."
      • I would switch "for teenagers" for "in teenagers."
      • Saying "has been increasing more than before" is slightly vague. Try saying "has increased dramatically in the past year." The word "dramatically" catches the reader's attention, and mentioning that it has been in a single year further emphasizes the increase.
      • Correction: The use of e-cigarettes in teenagers has dramatically increased in the past year.


In 2018, 20.8 percent of teenager said they had used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days from 11.7 percent from 2017.

      • "Teenager" should be pluralized.
      • To further distinguish the two statistics, try saying "In 2018, 20.8 percent of teenagers... compared with 11.7 percent from 2017."
      • Switch "from 2017" to "in 2017."
      • Correction: In 2018, 20.8 percent of teenagers said they had used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days, compared with 11.7 percent in 2017.


This huge increase could be cause of the brand Juul which contain more nicotine than other e-cigarette brands.

      • Rather than "cause of," try saying "caused by."
      • There should be a comma after "Juul."
      • "Contain" should be pluralized.
      • Correction: This huge increase could be caused by the brand Juul, which contains more nicotine than other e-cigarette brands.


Which causes more addiction and can lead to many health problems.

      • This sentence is a fragment (not a complete sentence). This is because there is no subject. Switch "which" for "a higher concentration of nicotine" so the reader knows exactly what you are talking about.
      • "Causes more addiction" isn't clear. Try saying "is more likely to result in addiction."
      • Correction: A higher concentration of nicotine is more likely to result in addiction and health problems.

Weight Control

Weight are hard to control especially losing weight and it get challenging during holidays. Losing all those weight would be and it unhealthy to starve yourself. Instead you should try to exercise more. Exercising can help control your weight and help with metabolism which help with digestion. As long as you exercise maintaining your weight is much more healthier and safer for your body. https://www.popsci.com/how-to-not-gain-holiday-weight-diet#page-4

Weight Control
Weight are hard to control especially losing weight and it get challenging during holidays.

      • In this instance, "weight" is a singular concept rather than plural. So "are" would have to be switched out for "is." However, saying "weight is hard to control" is an opinion or perspective, which should be avoided when writing an article. You can fix this by saying "for some, weight can be hard to control." I would also cut this sentence off there so as to avoid a run-on.
      • Correction: For some, weight can be hard to control.


especially losing weight and it get challenging during holidays.

      • Saying "especially losing weight" might be offensive to people who struggle to gain weight. It's better to keep opinions out of this type of writing to avoid offending anyone.
      • Correction: Many people find it challenging to lose weight during the holidays in particular.


Losing all those weight would be and it unhealthy to starve yourself.

      • Again, weight is singular in this instance rather than plural.
      • Try to connect the last sentence about the holidays to this sentence.
      • Correction: Even if you need to lose a lot of weight from the holidays, it is unhealthy to starve yourself.


Instead you should try to exercise more.

      • There should be a comma after "instead."
      • Correction: Instead, you should try to exercise more.


Exercising can help control your weight and help with metabolism which help with digestion.

      • Switch the "and" to "by".
      • Switch "help" with "improve." It's just a slightly stronger word.
      • Correction: Exercising can help control your weight by improving your metabolism and digestion.


As long as you exercise maintaining your weight is much more healthier and safer for your body.

      • There should be a comma after "as long as you exercise."
      • "Much more healthier" is incorrect grammar. You can either drop "much more" or just "more".
      • Correction: As long as you exercise, maintaining your weight is much healthier and safer for your body.

Vacation Plans
Aruba’s Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort attracts many honeymooners and tourists.
It have a breathtaking view and every year there is an annual cleanup.

      • Swapping out "it" for "the resort" will improve the clarity just a little bit.
      • Correct "have" to "has."
      • There should be a comma after the word "view."
      • Correction: The resort has a breathtaking view, and every year there is an annual cleanup.


Not only that Bucuti’s owner Bieman set up to become the first carbon neutral resort in the Caribbean.

      • There should be a comma after "not only that."
      • The first time a name is introduced, the full name should be given. In this case, it would be Ewald Biemans.
      • It should be clarified what exactly Bieman set up. This might be implied, but not enough that it should be left out.
      • Correction: Not only that, but Bucuti's owner Ewald Biemans set up the resort to become the first carbon neutral resort in the Caribbean.


The resort have the largest solar panels installation that the government allows.

      • Again, change "have" to "has."
      • "Solar panels" does not need to be plural in this instance.
      • Correction: The resort has the largest solar panel installation that the government allows.


Not only is the resort beautiful but it is helping the environment.

      • You began a sentence with "not only" just a few sentences back, so different wording could be used here.
      • Try swapping out "helping" for a stronger choice of words to provide a greater impact in the final sentence.
      • Correction: While everyone can agree the resort is beautiful, it is also doing great things the environment.

Cats Everywhere
Today cats are one of the most loved household pets to have. However, there are many different types of cats. Stray cats are no different from a normal type of cats. While some cats are really shy other are very friendly. In Japan, cats are seen as good luck and have a special connection with the fishermen there. In Japan there are even a cat island where the island is filled with cat shrines and cats.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/12/street-cat-grand-odyssey-photos-morandi/

Cats Everywhere
Today cats are one of the most loved household pets to have.

      • I would remove the word "today" from this sentence, because I'm not sure that this is different today than in the past.
      • "To have" can also be removed, because it isn't necessary in this instance. The sentence can do without.
      • Correction: Cats are one of the most loved household pets.


However, there are many different types of cats.

      • The word "however" in this instance functions better when placed at the end of the sentence, rather than the beginning. When placed at the beginning, it implies a contrast between this statement and the one before. When placed at the end, it leads into the topic of different types of cats.
      • Correction: There are many different types of cats, however.


Stray cats are no different from a normal type of cats.

      • "A normal type of cats" sounds a bit unprofessional. What is the opposite of stray? Try "house cats."
      • Correction: Stray cats are no different from house cats.


While some cats are really shy other are very friendly.

      • The word "very" is a better replacement for the word "really"; in my opinion, it sounds a bit more formal.
      • There should be a comma after the word "shy."
      • "Other" should be pluralized -- "others."
      • Correction: While some cats are very shy, others are very friendly.


In Japan, cats are seen as good luck and have a special connection with the fishermen there.

      • The word "there" can be dropped from the end; it is unnecessary.
      • Correction: In Japan, cats are seen as good luck and have a special connection with the fishermen.


In Japan there are even a cat island where the island is filled with cat shrines and cats.

      • Starting the sentence with "in Japan" once again is repetitive. It is clear that you are talking about Japan in this sentence, even without mentioning it, because the previous sentence set this up.
      • "Are" should be "is."
      • Rather than say "a cat island," try saying "an island." When you say "cat island," the word "cat" sounds over-used.
      • "Where the island is" can be removed. It is repetitive.
      • I would switch "cat shrines and cats" to "cats and cat shrines."
      • Correction: There is even an island filled with cats and cat shrines.

Plastics Around The World
Every year about 18 billions of plastic is wasted and dumped into the sea. Those plastics are then causing problems for the sa creatures. Studies show that about 40 percent of the plastic produced are used for packaging and less than 5 percent are recycled. Scientists are trying to determined how to increased the number of recycling the plastics. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/07/ocean-plastic-pollution-solutions/

Plastics Around The World

      • "The" does not need capitalized in a title, unless it is the first word of the title.


Every year about 18 billions of plastic is wasted and dumped into the sea.

      • There should be a comma after "every year."
      • 18 billion what? I assume you mean pounds.
      • Correction: Every year, about 18 billion pounds of plastic is wasted and dumped into the sea.


Those plastics are then causing problems for the sa creatures.

      • Replace "those" with "these." This keeps the issue ongoing, rather than putting it in the past or separating it from our current situation.
      • Correct the spelling of "sea."
      • Correction: These plastics are then causing problems for the sea creatures.


Studies show that about 40 percent of the plastic produced are used for packaging and less than 5 percent are recycled.

      • Both of your uses of "are" should be switched for "is." This is because when you give a percentage, it acts as a single unit.
      • I found this sentence just a bit hard to comprehend. I think that is because I assume both percentages in the sentence contribute to the same thing, when actually, the first percentage relates to plastic production and the second relates to plastic recycling. This should be clarified.
      • Correction: Studies show that about 40 percent of the plastic produced is used for packaging, and less than 5 percent of plastic ends up getting recycled.


Scientists are trying to determined how to increased the number of recycling the plastics.

      • "Determine" is perhaps not the best word to use in this instance. It gives the impression that there is one for-sure answer that scientists just need to uncover. Replacing "trying to determine" with a phrase like "brainstorming" opens up a lot more possibilities and room for trial and error.
      • Because of the previous correction, "how" should be switched out for "ways."
      • "Increased" should be switched for "increase."
      • "The number of recycling" is in need of better wording. Try "the recycle rate."
      • "The" should be switched with "of."
      • You have referred to plastic as "plastic" rather than "plastics" throughout the article, so that should be the same in this last sentence.
      • Correction: Scientists are brainstorming ways to increase the recycle rate of plastic.

Victorina Morales Journey

Victorina Morales was an illegal immigrant but now living in New Jersey and working as a maid in Trump National Golf Club. Where she spend her time cleaning and when President Trump visited he gave her a certificate for her outstanding work of cleaning and maintaining his place. Ms. Morales later told the reporters that there are many illegals immigrants working here as well as her trying to make a living. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/06/us/trump-bedminster-golf-undocumented-workers.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

Victorina Morales Journey

      • If "Morales" is the last name, there needs to be an apostrophe to represent ownership, as it is her journey. Because her name ends in an "s", this apostrophe can go at the end.
      • Correction: Victorina Morales' Journey


Victorina Morales was an illegal immigrant but now living in New Jersey and working as a maid in Trump National Golf Club.

      • Switch out "was" for "is." Victorina Morales still appears to be an illegal immigrant, based on the information in the article.
      • Rather than "but now living," try saying "who lives."
      • "Working" can then be switched out for "works."
      • Switch out "in Trump National Golf Club" for "at Trump National Golf Club."
      • Correction: Victorina Morales is an illegal immigrant who lives in New Jersey and works as a maid at Trump National Golf Club.


Where she spend her time cleaning and when President Trump visited he gave her a certificate for her outstanding work of cleaning and maintaining his place.

      • It is unnecessary to start the sentence with the word "where." It also creates an incomplete sentence. This word can be removed.
      • "Spend" should be "spends."
      • A comma should be included after "she spends her time cleaning."
      • This sentence is a bit of a run-on. This can be fixed by switching out "when President Trump visited her he gave her a certificate" for "she was awarded a certificate by President Trump."
      • It has already been mentioned that Victorina Morales spends her time cleaning, so there is no need to explain what type of work the certificate is for. To do so is repetitive.
      • Correction: She spends her time cleaning, and was awarded a certificate by President Trump for her outstanding work.


Ms. Morales later told the reporters that there are many illegals immigrants working here as well as her trying to make a living.

      • "The reporters" should simply be "reporters." When you say "the reporters," it indicates a certain group of reporters which the reader has no knowledge of.
      • "Illegals immigrants" should be "illegal immigrants."
      • Where is "here"? Instead, say "at the golf club."
      • "As well as her trying to make a living" can be removed because it doesn't offer any new information.
      • Correction: Ms. Morales later told reporters that there are many illegal immigrants working at the golf club.

Christmas In Netherland

      • Change "Netherland" to "the Netherlands."
      • Correction: Christmas in the Netherlands


The Dutch St. Nicholas holiday in Netherland is celebrated by people giving candy and gifts.

      • Again, switch "Netherland" to "the Netherlands."


But this year the parades have a negative affect due to the Santa’s blackface sidekick.

      • There should be a comma after "but this year."
      • I'm not sure that "affect" is the right word here (if it were, it should be switched to "effect" because it acts as a noun rather than a verb in this instance). I would switch out the phrase "have a negative affect" to "are receiving criticism."
      • Santa does not need to be preceded by "the."
      • Correction: But this year, the parades are receiving criticism due to Santa's blackface sidekick.


The sidekick is a helper with blackface and wore a large golden earing and big lips.

      • The beginning of this sentence feels a bit repetitive. You can simply say "the sidekick."
      • Correct the spelling of "earring."
      • I would begin the sentence by saying. "In the parade . . ."
      • Correction: In the parade, the sidekick wore a long golden earring and big lips.


Now people are protesting on how unnecessary of the sidekicks.

      • I would switch "now people are protesting" to "people are now protesting", for a slightly smoother read.
      • "How unnecessary of the sidekicks" needs some changes in wording. Try, "the necessity of the sidekick."
      • Correction: People are now protesting the necessity of the sidekick.


Now as a protest began began throwing eggs at the sidekicks and many insults as well.

      • After reading through the article myself, I see it mentions that people are actually throwing eggs at the protesters, not the sidekick itself.
      • Correction: Others have started throwing eggs at those who are protesting the sidekick.

Trump Plans

President Trump is taking back Obama’s climate rule and was announced to lift some restrictions on greenhouse gases from the coal power plants. In addition to this, Trump also releases more land for drilling for oils. This will disturb the life of the wildlife there and their habitat. Also releasing more carbon dioxide will cause more climate changes and the amount of carbon released kept increasing. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/03/how-trump-is-changing-science-environment/

Trump Plans

      • This title could be more specific. What sort of "plans" are you referring to? Try something like, "Trump's New Plans are Hurting the Environment" This not only lets the reader know what type of article they will be reading, but also grabs their attention and makes them want to know what Trump's new plans are and how they are hurting the environment.


President Trump is taking back Obama’s climate rule and was announced to lift some restrictions on greenhouse gases from the coal power plants.

      • This sentence is a mouthful; we can simplify it by changing the wording of "was announced to lift some restrictions" to "lifting restrictions."
      • Corrected sentence: President Trump is taking back Obama's climate rule and lifting restrictions on greenhouse gases from the coal power plants.


In addition to this, Trump also releases more land for drilling for oils.

      • You can simply say "in addition," rather than "in addition to this."
      • Maintain the same tense throughout the paragraph. Just as in the first sentence when you say "is taking," you should say "is releasing" in this sentence.
      • The word "for" sounds repetitive here. Try changing "for drilling" to "to drill."
      • Corrected sentence: In addition, Trump is releasing more land to drill for oils.


This will disturb the life of the wildlife there and their habitat.

      • Again, the word "life" sounds repetitive here. Your use of "the life" is actually unnecessary. It can simply read, "disturb the wildlife."
      • Including the word "there" is unnecessary and also a bit repetitive next to your use of "their".
      • Corrected sentence: This will disturb the wildlife and their habitat.


Also releasing more carbon dioxide will cause more climate changes and the amount of carbon released kept increasing.

      • A comma is needed after the word "also," however, I would actually remove this word from the beginning of the sentence. The last sentence of the article should be strong, and starting it with "also" weakens it just a bit.
      • Rather than say "cause more climate changes," try saying "worsen climate change."
      • I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the amount of carbon released kept increasing." I'm going to assume you mean that carbon output will continue to release because of the new changes Trump has made.
      • Corrected sentence: Releasing more carbon dioxide will worsen climate change, and carbon output from Trump's new plans will only continue to increase.

Equal Spaces 

Having equal living space for both wild animals and humans would be nice. Human populations kept increasing and taking up more living spaces. Which make it hard for the wildlife so scientists are now trying to create area where human and wildlife can live. However, due to the rapid increase in the human population it is challenging to attempt. But now scientists are experimenting more possible way for the wildlife to bond with the urban area.

https://elifesciences.org/articles/41348

Equal Spaces


Having equal living space for both wild animals and humans would be nice.

      • Saying "would be nice" is an opinion. Instead, try: Wild animals and humans do not currently share equal living space.


Human populations kept increasing and taking up more living spaces.

      • "Kept increasing" should be switched to the active form--"Continue to increase."
      • "taking" should be switched to "take."
      • "Spaces" shouldn't be plural in this instance.
      • Corrected sentence: Human populations continue to increase and take up more living space.


Which make it hard for the wildlife so scientists are now trying to create area where human and wildlife can live.

      • "Which" should be replaced with "this."
      • "Make" needs to be "makes."
      • There should be a comma after "wildlife."
      • A better substitute for "area" in this instance is "space."
      • I would include the world "both" to better express the shared space.
      • Corrected sentence: This makes it hard for wildlife, so scientists are now trying to create space where both humans and wildlife can live.


However, due to the rapid increase in the human population it is challenging to attempt.

      • There should be a comma after the word "population."
      • Corrected sentence: However, due to the rapid increase in the human population, it is challenging to attempt.


But now scientists are experimenting more possible way for the wildlife to bond with the urban area.

      • The word "but" should not be used to begin a sentence.
      • Rather than "now scientists are experimenting," try "scientist are now experimenting."
      • You should say "experimenting with"
      • "Way" needs to be pluralized.
      • Corrected sentence: Scientists are now experimenting with more possible ways for the wildlife to bond with the urban area.

Survival 

Bengal tigers are now endangered as many people began to hunt them down. First Bengal tiger are a threat for the village people so many villagers began to kill them for safety. At the same time the tigers are hunted down for their bone for China for traditional medicine. In the early 1900s the population of the tigers dropped from 100,000 to 4,000 today. If nothing is done to save the Bengal tigers they could go extinct in the near future.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/11/pirates-are-killing-tigers/


Survival

      • This title doesn't give an idea as to what the article is about. Try "Bengal Tigers are Headed for Extinction."


Bengal tigers are now endangered as many people began to hunt them down.

      • "Began" should be replaced with "have begun."
      • Corrected sentence: Bengal tigers are now endangered as many people have begun to hunt them down.


First Bengal tiger are a threat for the village people so many villagers began to kill them for safety.

      • The word "first" can be dropped.
      • "Threat for the village people" should instead be "threat to the village people."
      • There should be a comma between the two clauses.
      • Rather than say "began to kill," I would make this sound like it is happening right now by saying "are killing."
      • Corrected sentence: Bengal tigers are a threat to the village people, so many villagers are killing them for safety.


At the same time the tigers are hunted down for their bone for China for traditional medicine.

      • There needs to be a comma after "At the same time."
      • There are too many "for"s here. Instead of saying "for China for traditional medicine," I would say "to be used in Chinese traditional medicine."
      • Corrected sentence: At the same time, the tigers are hunted down for their bone to be used in Chinese traditional medicine.


In the early 1900s the population of the tigers dropped from 100,000 to 4,000 today.

      • This sentence is a bit confusing and just needs some rewording. Try saying: The tiger population has dropped from 100,000 in the early 1900s to just 4,000 today.


If nothing is done to save the Bengal tigers they could go extinct in the near future.

      • A Comma is needed after "tigers."
      • Corrected sentence: If nothing is done to save the Bengal tigers, they could go extinct in the near future.

Black Friday Event!

After Thanksgiving is the Black Friday sale that everyone look forward to. But little does anyone know how this can cause pollution. It is proved that online shopping can released more carbon than buying on foot. Due to shipping and fast transportation, many carbon are released into the air. Also clothing can cause more pollution as well. Buying new clothes will increase more textile waste. Overall shopping is enjoyable but be cautious of what you might be releasing in the atmosphere. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/11/how-black-friday-cyber-monday-impacts-environment/

Black Friday Event!

      • This title doesn't provide too much insight about the article. I would switch it for something like "The Environmental Effects of Black Friday."


After Thanksgiving is the Black Friday sale that everyone look forward to.

      • I would be more specific about when this sale occurs.
      • "Look" should have an "s" at the end.
      • Corrected sentence: The day after Thanksgiving is the Black Friday sale that everyone looks forward to.


But little does anyone know how this can cause pollution.

      • Rather than say "little does anyone know," try saying "many are unaware."
      • Corrected sentence: But many are unaware of the pollution this causes."


It is proved that online shopping can released more carbon than buying on foot.

      • "It is proved" should instead be "it has been proven."
      • "Released" should be in the present tense--"release."
      • Rather than say "on foot", try saying "in store."
      • Corrected sentence: It has been proven that online shopping can release more carbon than buying in store.


Due to shipping and fast transportation, many carbon are released into the air.

      • Rather than "many carbon," try saying "excessive amounts of carbon."
      • Corrected sentence: Due to shipping and fast transportation, excessive amounts of carbon are released into the air.


Also clothing can cause more pollution as well.

      • Saying both "also" and "as well" is repetitive. I would drop the "also" in this instance.


Buying new clothes will increase more textile waste.

      • Combine this sentence with the last, since they are short when standing on their own and they are very closely related.
      • Corrected sentence: Also, clothing can cause more pollution; buying new clothes will increase more textile waste.


Overall shopping is enjoyable but be cautious of what you might be releasing in the atmosphere.

      • Rather than say "overall shopping is enjoyable," try saying "while shopping can be enjoyable."
      • Corrected sentence: While shopping can be enjoyable, be cautious of what you might be releasing into the atmosphere.

Dry Land
El Salvador is drying up and there is no certain how long the water will last. People there will go to the spring to shower and do their chores. Since the wells don't have enough water, more than 600,000 people have no access to drinking water. If there was water in the wells people will start fighting for it. The problem is none of the country's main rivers can be purified for drinking. This means there will be health problems.

Dry Land

      • Consider changing your title to be more specific. "Dry Land" can mean a broad range of things, but something like "El Salvador is Running Out of Water" catches the reader's interest and provides an idea of what the article is about.


El Salvador is drying up and there is no certain how long the water will last.

      • "No certain" should be replaced with "no way of knowing."
      • Corrected sentence: El Salvador is drying up and there is no way of knowing how long the water will last.


People there will go to the spring to shower and do their chores.

      • Change "will go" to "are going." This puts it into present tense rather than future tense.
      • Corrected sentence: People are going to the spring to shower and do their chores.


Since the wells don't have enough water, more than 600,000 people have no access to drinking water.
If there was water in the wells people will start fighting for it.

      • "If there was water in the wells" flows better if written as "Even if the wells did contain water."
      • Saying "people will start fighting for it" is an assumption, which should be avoided. Instead, say "it is likely that people would fight over it."
      • Corrected sentence: Even if the wells did contain water, it is likely that people would fight over it.


The problem is none of the country's main rivers can be purified for drinking.

      • The word "that" should be inserted after "the problem is."
      • Corrected sentence: The problem is that none of the country's main rivers can be purified for drinking.


This mean there will be health probelms.

      • This sentence could be more powerful with different wording.
      • Since you just used the word "problem" in the previous sentence, try a different word.
      • Corrected sentence: This will almost certainly lead to health consequences.

Technology VS. Humanity
Are we in danger of losing our humanity?
In the book Hello World: Being Human in the Age of Algorithms, the author inform us about our so lost humanity near the future with technology.

      • Book titles should be italicized.
      • "Inform" should be "informs."
      • "About our so lost humanity near the future with technology" is a bit confusing. Instead, try "of our loss of humanity with the future of technology."
      • Corrected sentence: In the book Hello World: Being Human in the Age of Algorithms, the author informs us of our loss of humanity with the future of technology.


The famous chess champion Gary Kasparov seem unbeatable back in the time.

      • There should be a comma before and after the name.
      • "Seem unbeatable back in the time" is confusing wording. Instead, try "used to seem unbeatable."
      • Corrected sentence: The famous chess champion, Gary Kasparov, used to seem unbeatable.


However, IBM built a manchine that can play chess and in 1977 the computer beated the famous chess player Gary Kasparov.

      • Corrected the spelling of "machine."
      • There should be a comma after "in 1977."
      • "Beat" is already past tense, so the "-ed" is unnecessary.
      • Since you have already introduced Gary Kasparov as a famous chess player, it is repetitive to do so again. Instead, you can use a simple pronoun--"him."
      • Combine this sentence with the one before using a semicolon, since the two are very closely related.
      • Corrected sentence: The famous chess champion, Gary Kasparov, used to seem unbeatable; however, IBM built a machine that can play chess and in 1977, the computer beat him.

The Breakthrough of Bicycle

Cycling was known as a sport or a way of transportation. Baron Karl Drais von Sauerbronn made the first practical bicycle with no pedals. In 1839, Scotsman Kirkpatrick MacMillan made an improvement which was later nicknamed as "boneshaker". However, since the wheels were too big, it made it unstable for the riders and led them to crashing. The most popular bicycle design was made by James Starley and it was known as a safety bicycle. Through time, the bicycle has evolved as a means of fun and transportation.

Is Arctic Still Cold?

Arctic known as one of the coldest place on earth, might not be as cold as before. Nikita Zimov was teaching his students about ecological fieldwork, when he notice something. THe frozen land might be thawing faster than before. It not possible for a place with 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit to have soil that are thawing faster. This can lead to major concern about how much carbon are we putting into the air. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/08/news-arctic-permafrost-may-thaw-faster-than-expected/

Is Arctic Still Cold?

      • Don't forget to use your definite and indefinite articles. Though most continents do not use "the", the Northern area of our world is known as "the Arctic"; Is the Arctic Still Cold?

Arctic known as one of the coldest place on earth, might not be as cold as before.

      • Same here: The Arctic, Also the first part of the sentence does not have a verb. You need to add "is". When you use "one of the", you must have the noun as plural, so " One of the places. Lastly, you need to combine both sentences with a conjunction, use "but", and the second part of the sentence does not have a subject, use "it" ; The Arctic is known as one of the coldest places on earth, but it might not be as cold as before.

Nikita Zimov was teaching his students about ecological fieldwork, when he notice something.

      • The verb noticed must be in the past tense because you used "was teaching"

Nikita Zimov was teaching his students about ecological fieldwork, when he noticed something. THe frozen land might be thawing faster than before.

      • Watch out for capitalizing words that don't need it, if you do this in school they take points off for mechanics based on sloppiness. Also try not to end to many sentences with prepositions. You've done this twice with the word " before". It is incorrect to use a preposition at the end of a sentence.; The frozen land might be thawing faster than it has in the past.

It not possible for a place with 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit to have soil that are thawing faster.

      • Do not start a sentence with "it" because using it makes the subject unclear. Soil is an uncountable noun so you should not use the plural be verb "are", use is. When you use an adjective in the comparative form (more or er), then you need another noun to compare it to. So, just write "as fast as it is."; For a place with 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit weather to have soil that thaws as fast as it is, something else must be happening.

Though the cause is not clear, concerns about how much carbon we are putting into the air has come up as a possible cause.





Can Human Kill Robot?

It hard to turn down the offer when a robot is begging not to. Scientists chose students from 89 colleges to team up and work on a robot called Noa.

Why Elephant Have Low Risk of Cancer

One of the biggest mammal should be more prone to cancer risk than smaller animals. But, elephant have fewer risk of having cancer than humans. This is because of their trunk, which have extra tumor-suppressing gene called P53, while human only have one, elephant have 20. The gene can detect DNA damage and is able to kill it. Since elephant have more P53 than human, it is more likely that elephant have a lower chance of having skin problems than humans. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/08/news-cancer-elephants-genes-dna-new-research/





Seafood

If human population continue to boom, the food production need to be double from now. So now researchers are now focusing on fish, as fish have high enough of proteins. Now researchers are considering high sea fishing which is very expensive. They also came up with another solution, having farm-raised fish. Perdicting that by 2030, 62% of the world's seafood will be farm-raised. So far there is no real solution for food production besides depending on seafood. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/08/news-fisheries-aquaculture-food-security/





Health Issues

Ever since Trump became president, having a insurence become challenging. Medicare played an important role for everyone, especially for elders. Having insurence can lower medicial bills and make medication more affordable. But recently Trump cut out all the benefits and the $500 billion fund. Now affording medication is harder due to no insurence to help and now 70% of older Americans suffer from periodontal disease and 20% live with decay tooth. So medicare is needed, especailly for the elders. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jun/26/the-future-of-medicare-dental-vision-and-hearing-c/





Soil Causing More Carbon Dioxide

After trees die, microbes in the soil consume the carrbon and exhale out the carbon dioxide back into the air. Temperature rising can cause this process to speed up much faster. The microbes are able to break down more carbon due to high heat which later extracted to the atmosphere. To prevent this from happening, we can perserve or regrow forest. But this won't be enough compare to other damages that happened. https://www.popsci.com/rising-temperatures-are-causing-soil-to-dump-more-carbon-dioxide-into-air#page-5

Two herdsmen in Kenya's Osewan region had enough of the trouble the lions has cause to his livestocks. So they went and decided to make poison darts in which they killed one female and a male. But this didn't stop the predators, so then they began to poison their livestocks in order to kill the lions. The people only use poison to catch preys for food and to protect themselves. Now wildlife animals are decreasing as time pass due to humans. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/08/poisoning-africa-kenya-maasai-pesticides-lions-poachers-conservationists/

Thet's Article Page Shakes Extinction

      • A proper title is missing from this article, which is important to reinforce the main idea of your article. Consider trying a more relevant title: " Hazards of Shark Overfishing".


Shakes all around the world are trageted for one thing and it is its liver, known as squalene.

      • Various misspellings- "shakes" and "trageted should be "sharks" and "targeted". Furthermore, the phrase "one thing and it is" is excessive. Try using a more straightforward and concise wording: " Sharks throughout the world are targeted specifically for their livers." Also, the term "squalene' refers to the organic compound itself obtained from shark liver oil, not the liver itself. And thus the sentence should read: "Sharks throughout the world are targeted specifically for their liver oils, which possess both commercial and health value. This helps in transitioning to the next sentence as well."


Squalene contains specail oil that is essential for moisturizing and have many nutrients that is good for your skin.

      • As noted earlier, squalene refers to the organic compound found in shark liver oil. Therefore, it does not contain the oil, and is within the oil. The sentence should read: " The squalene found in shark liver oil.." The phrase "have many nutrients..." is using the wrong tense. The word "have" should be replaced with has". Altogether, it should sound like this: " The squalene found in shark liver oil is an exceptional moisturizer, and has many nutrients that is beneficial for your skin.


People used the squalene and used it to produce make-up, lipsticks, loions, and sunscreens.

      • When discussing events that are still ongoing, use present tense instead of past tense. Replace "used" with use". In addition, the word "people" is vague and does not specify any specific group, thus making it applicable to all people. Use "companies" or "entrepreneurs" to fix this issue. Subsequently, to clarify the sentence even further, categorize the products listed that squalene is used in. In whole, the sentence should read: "In fact, companies utilize squalene in various health and beauty products, such as make-up, lipsticks, lotions, and sunscreens." The transition "in fact" helps to link your sentences together and streamline the ideas.


But not only were the sharks targeted for oils but for seafood known as shark fin soup mostly served in China.

      • This sentence is run-on, and sounds clunky and disorganized. Use a better transition word to illustrate a shift in topic and use commas when necessary to fix this issue, or consider dividing the sentence into two parts: "However, sharks are not only overfished for their oils. Sharks are commonly used in seafood dishes such as the infamous shark fin soup, served primarily in China."


As more and more sharks are fished the harder for the sharks to reproduce and harder for them to grow.

      • Commas are missing from this sentence, making it run-on. Additionally, the phrase "sharks to reproduce and harder for them to grow" can be compacted to make it sound less wordy: " As sharks are continually overfished, it becomes more difficult for sharks to reproduce and grow."


This can lead to extinction to some species of sharks.

      • Leading this sentence with the word "this" sounds bland and lacking. Try using words/phrases such as "As a result," or " Due to this,", which indicates a conclusion or consequence: "As a result, some species of sharks are approaching extinction."
