Some questions I had about sea turtles..... __Saving The World__ Hey guys did you know that everything you do can help the environment or make it worse than it is now? For example if you throw a candy wrapper in the trash instead of throwing it out the car window you are helping the environment by not polluting. If you throw it out the window, then a deer could come and pick it up, eat it, and then die. Saving the world is not hard but ruining it is really easy. So I hope you will make the right choice. Here are some ways to reduce global warming. It's not hard and can save a lot of the environment. Give it a try.
 * Why do loggerheads nest close to the wildlife refuge?
 * Why are green sea turtles called green turtles for their fat?
 * Why don't leatherbacks have hard shells?
 * Answer. They have ridges instead which make them more hydrodynamic. That means they can swim faster. So their protection is ridges not hard shells.
 * Why do they make jewelry out of hawksbill turtles shells?
 * Why are Kemp's Ridleys so endangered?
 * How come Olive Ridleys are common compared to the Kemp ridleys?
 * Why do Flatbacks stick so close to Australia?
 * 1) Recycle. Just throw the paper in the recycling bin instead of the the trash because if you throw it in the trash, it will fill up another landfill. By recycling half of your household waste, you can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
 * 2) Use less heat and ac. By turning the thermostat down 2 degrees in summer and up 2 in winter you can save a lot of electricity. Also it saves 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
 * 3) Change the light bulb. By changing 1 light bulb to a CFL bulb you use two-thirds less energy and give off 70 percent less heat. They also last 10 times longer than regular bulbs.
 * 4) Transportation. Instead of driving to school use the bus, walk, ride your bike, or carpool. Busses carry more kids so they don't pollute the air as much. Walking or riding your bike doesn't pollute the air at all. Car pooling also lessens the air pollution.
 * 5) Turn it off. Turn off the tv as you leave the room or the lights. You can save tons of energy by doing that, and it is really easy. Same thing with water. When you are brushing your teeth turn off the water. If a tap is dripping, in a week you will lose 10 gallons of water.

__Conservation International__ The section of the Conservation International I'm doing is Oceans; Protecting the Ocean. It can be found on their website. The amount of marine life we kill to eat is too much. We use stuff like dynamite fishing, bottom trawling, cyanide fishing and it has ruined 90 percent of our ocean's top predators like sharks. Entire populations of fish have died and sea floors look like war zones. Corals have been bleached white from chemicals and dead zones – big areas of ocean that can no longer support life – are spreading throughout the underwater world. We are making this happen. People like the ones that work in Conservation International are working to stop this. Hopefully they will. **__Mr.Holmes __** **__﻿ __** Mr.Holmes, a brain surgeon, came to our class to talk to us about the scientific method. He told us that stuff like inferences aren't only used in science but almost everywhere like in the medical feild too. For example when he sees that a pupil is big, he can tell that that side of the brain is damaged. that is what I learned when Mr.Holmes came.
