Amazon Continues to Save the Environment with Renewable Energy Projects Nationwide
Amazon has built a massive wind power plant in Texas with plans to power more than 330,000 homes with clean energy. In addition to building a new headquarters that will supply tens of thousands of jobs that Americans need badly, Amazon is also saving the environment by producing clean energy projects in comparison to unsafe drilling projects. When elders said, 'your generation is going to have to save the world.' It is exciting to see Amazon paving the road to a sustainable future.

A Scientific Look at the Correlations Between Hurricane Harvey and Climate Change
Areas of the United States have recently been hit hard with rainfall and flooding following Hurricane Harvey. Debate on climate change continues to divide people across the globe. The idea that the climate changing is completely man made does not hold water, but links between the how the climate is changing, and the impact humans have on the climate can easily be identified. BBC recently reported on the connections between human involvement and Hurricane Harvey. "Over the past ten years or so we have seen a new branch of knowledge emerge called attribution science.

Scientists Review the Impact of Climate Change with the Ice Shelf Shift in Antarctica
The Larsen C Ice Shelf in West Antarctica recently cracked and shifted by increasing global temperatures. The recent crack in the ice shelf indicates that trends in global warming are increasing overall temperatures, and creating a more unstable climate for coastal regions around the globe. National Geographic reported: 'On the Antarctic Peninsula, the warming has been far greater—nearly five degrees on average. That’s why a Delaware-size iceberg just broke off the Larsen C Ice Shelf and why smaller ice shelves on the peninsula have long since disintegrated entirely into the waters of the Weddell Sea.'

The Science Behind Fungi being able to Detect Radiation in Soil and the Atmosphere
The University of Extremadura recently published research covering the connections between fungi and radiation. They uncovered that fungi can detect and measure the amount of radiation in the air and soil. The team measured the amount of radionuclides, (an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable) within mushrooms in Europe. Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory of the University of Extremadura (LARUEX) and Science Daily reported on the author's point of view: "This quantification is made using transfer coefficients that compare the radioactive content in the receptor compartment of the radioactive contamination, that is to say in the fungi, to that existing
