Smoking has been a problem for a very long time but now it has started to decline... but only for a some individuals. Though smoking has decreased poor people have started smoking a bit more than any other class. Many of them smoke to relieve the stress of being poor of their back but could face many lung problems in the process. This is also affecting health cares since they have to pay for these incidents and must do so.
Smoking is seen all around us and needs to be shown how bad it actually is. My uncle is a smoker as well but he has a bit of money compared to other people. People need to stop doing this otherwise lung diseases could spring out and kill a man before you know it. I will never smoke in my life knowing the risk they give. These types of articles need to be shown to smokers to show that they are hurting themselves by doing so.
Now what we could do (and are doing at the moment) is show them how bad it is and how it could affect them and other people around him/her. Now this has been working for the most part and will continue working for many years until it finally disappears. Already now that the rate of smoking is 16% we can calm down a bit and think about the situation. Slowly but surely smoking will be a thing of the past.

ScrAPES #4 "Shift to Lower-Carbon Energy Is Too Slow, I.E.A. Report Warns"
Author:Stanley Reed Date: Nov. 9 2015 Here it is!
Reports on trying to clean the air have come and it seems like we haven't been doing enough change to help the atmosphere. With changes now happening to help nature there hasn't been enough and is going very slowly. Many of the problems seem to be coming from India and China (especially India). China may have gotten less demand for energy but India has just started giving more energy to it's people and finding out that they have coal and oil. This could turn out bad and could hurt the air more now.
Since we are in an Environmental class this is something we should be learning about and how to stop. With fear that our planet could turn out bad thanks to us humans we need to take responsibility for the problems and find ways to solve it. Without knowledge of this info we could endanger the air as well. We could also help each other if others don't know about it so we could help the world with this. This needs to be seen and stopped as soon as possible.
This article says they will still need a huge change from multiple countries to help solve this problem. We would need to make a meeting with other countries and discuss even more ways we could help the world and more. This will not be an easy change and will take years to fix. We could need even more countries than we can talk to at the moment to help as well. With enough work we could change this problem for the better.

ScrAPES #4 "After a Mass Extinction, Only the Small Survive"
Author:Unknown Date: Nov. 12 2015 Here is the link!
There was a study that found out many animals that survive extinction are found to be very small. Ma.y big animals today are facing extinction are very big as well which may be a hint to the future. There was a mass extinction 359 million years ago in which many animals became extinct but from the ones that survived, many of them were very small in size. Many animals were now smaller than they were before and less than the average size. With bigger sizes animals would not reproduce as much so many were lost to never roam the Earth again.
Animals have always been an interesting topic when it comes to science since we lose and gain many of them. Large animals like giraffes and sharks are cool to look at but we are losing many of them and soon there won't be any of them. I remember seeing many endangered animals before so when i found this article and decided to see how it was like. Now that I saw this I would like to see these animals a few more times before they die out.
Big animals need to be taken care of so that they won't be lost. If we were to take care of some in zoos are look at them in the wilderness we could have less extinctions and more animals altogether. More small animals are surviving but there aren't enough big animals to eat or kill them quick enough to lower a population. With more big animals order could be restored in nature and we could save some beautiful creatures.

ScrAPES # 3 "Detergent wipes are spreading superbugs through hospitals"
Author:J. D. Heyes Date: June 16 2015 Here It Is!!
Super bugs have been around for a while now. They are bugs that are immune to some antibiotics thanks to us overusing them and them evolving. Now they are getting into America and are starting to infect people. Because super bugs are able to handle antibiotics they are able to survive getting wiped by the wipes and go into the body to get them sick. Super bugs kill up to 48,000 people per year which is very bad for the future and needs to be solved.
I've heard about super bugs a long time ago and decided I would like to learn about them a bit more. These diseases could become a big problem in the future and could become a huge problem for doctors. With people already dying to normal diseases this could just mean more death so I wanted to know more. Other then scare me that we have these diseases this helped me see how we have overused such important goods and are now paying the price.
Doctors are already thinking of ways to solve this dilemma without much problem. One big way doctors can solve this is if they start using silver and copper as walls and floors. Test have already been made and they have found that they reduce the amount bacteria on them by 97% which is huge. Also they have started making more medicine that these diseases haven't seen yet. It will be possible to combat this and we might be safe.

Scrapes # 9 "Why are orangutans endangered?"
Author: Liz Osborn Date unknown link : Here it is!
The article was about and animal the orange orangutans and how they are almost extinct. They haven't been doing well lately with numbers falling. They haven't been able to find much food according to researchers and has also been used to test medications and products. They have not been treated to well by humans before so the toll is finally being seen now. With them disappearing the food chain could get messed up.
I chose this article since orangutans have been endangered for a while and decided to see why they were endangered in the first place. I've heard many things but didn't know the facts. Even though the answer should have been simple I still wanted to check anyways. Being certain is better than not knowing.
Whenever we see them they are a rare sight. One thing we could do to help them is get them in zoos to repopulate inside. That way they will be save without the worry of death from disease. By doing this they will repopulate to possibly a safe amount and survive the extinction. We also need to stop stealing their environment from them. They need the land to sleep and create colonies.
