Reflection on Food Miles

Food has many different conditions that can raise how mush it takes to make them. First you need animals or plants to make the food out of. Second you need to treat them and feed them well so you can get their meat as an adult. Third you have to package them and check them for any diseases so that customers won't get sick. Finally they have to be taken to the area that they will be given out and sold to. All of these increase how much food miles something has. Some have more than others just based on rarity or how far away it comes from. This can actually be very bad if the food miles get too high on a product.

This is why it is best to have foods that come from very near. The closer they come from the less recourses we need just to transport them to new areas without much problem. We wouldn't need as much fossil fuels and vehicles to move them around. With that the air would be cleaner and we would be able to have a cleaner planet in the process. We don't want to waste resources now either since we may run out of them sooner than later. We need to bring food miles down so that we can be able to have a better planet in the process.

Oregan Rancher Standoff Refelction

The Oregan Standoff seems strange to me. The leader of the standoff says that he is taking the land and using it to help the environment when really he is taking the area and ruining the land for the animals and plants that are there. They say that they like the environment when they are actually ruining it which seems very strange in my opinion. They shouldn't even had taken the land in the first place as well. They take the land to go against the government when really they are going against the people who live near there and want to see the sanctuary. If anything they are just ruining themselves with this strategy and putting themselves into a grave.

Even the ranchers who were accused of burning a forest (who the ranchers have stolen the sanctuary for) have not done much that should make the other ranchers fall in love with them for. There is almost no reason that the farmers should have taken that land. Even when you take into account all the other farmers a sanctuary is not something you attack and control that will make everyone fear for you, especially since they are all just plain farmers with no combat experience.

ScrAPES#18 "Large-ish meteor hits Earth... But no one notices"

Author: Ian O'Neill


There was apparently a meteor that came into Earth a few days ago which actually exploded near or ground and no one noticed it. It had apparently exploded no where near any civilization and no eye witness has seen this as well. Apparently it was as strong as the last meteor that came by Russia 2 years ago. This is a big discovery for astronomers since they've been wanting to know more about meteors as they get up close to get more facts about them.

Meteors have been a very interesting topic in space since there is quite a bit of mystery behind them. We still don't know if it was a meteor that killed the dinosaurs or if a meteor that is big enough to kill us will show up one day. Soon we will know more with more of these discoveries showing up which will open up our view of space more and more. Space is a cool topic in general and that's why I started to do this.

Sooner or later a meteor will come that will give us enough information to learn everything about them and how they work and/or started. Soon patterns will show up and evidence will come to how these meteors began. This will just be a piece of the puzzle piece that we need to solve in order to get the picture. The universe will open up one day to us and when it does we will know the future of space.
