5 reasons why we should look after the oceans.
1) It facilitates Homo Sapiens place at the top of the food chain Every single species on this planet adds to the richness of Earth’s biodiversity. It’s that diversity of life, that allows for new species to emerge, species with advantageous benefits that humans can exploit. Those species, and the interactions between those species, directly impact our economy and affect how we live and function via 'Ecosystem services'. So, the ocean that holds 80% of all life on earth and is the biodiversity hotspot of this planet holds untold economic benefits for humans. Elevating ourselves off the backs of other species is what got us to where we are now, the top of the food chain, or 'winner' of the rat race of life.

Do not rush evolution
Do not rush evolution. Will we hurry to oblivion? Planet earth has, so the astrophysicists tell us, about a billion years of life left in her, a thousand million years before the sun cooks everything. It may be that we humans will kill ourselves off long before that time but if we do not, we will have time to evolve solutions, we will have time to adjust the populations to sustainable levels, we will have time to develop technologies that will enhance human existence. Why all the rush to an unknown future. Evolution works because it tests each and every stage of change, over time.

Moving forward to a smarter grid
Our country's electric grid consists of a network of transmissions lines, substation, transformers and more that deliver electricity from the power plant to our home or business—allowing us to connect power to our appliances. However, our grids are generating to its capacity.

As an introduction to myself I am currently a freelance writer for an educational magazine for homeschoolers, as well as working as a book and journal reviewer for several online sites. My education ranges from degrees from Bachelor's degrees to a Doctoral degree. Specically, my degrees are in Educational studies and Human services for the Bachelor's degrees. There is a Master's in Curriculum and instruction, a Post-Master's in College teaching, leading up to the terminal degree of a Doctorate in Reading and literacy. I also have a diploma in Practical nursing. I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse for 14 years as a Geriatric psychiatric nurse for 14 years where I also worked as an Activities assistant for the same amount of years. For fun I also still like to read and write and work in the garden and make several types of crafts. My articles here on Vocal.com will be lectures and lessons on the content areas found in the classroom from Science, English, Social studies and Math. I also plan to offer other subjects as well dealing with some college and graduate level courses, too. My articles will be for home school parents and classroom teachers. My first article will be for seventh grade General science course. Remember these lessons/lectures are written as if a teacher is preparing lecture notes.

The Environment
Oil is virtually associated with all spheres of modern society, including domestic and commercial heating as well as the transportation. At the same time, mostly negative impact on the environment that oil has, makes its production rather dangerous. It has been proved by lots of quality essays that oil is very toxic to almost all forms of life. Additionally, oil industry might cause changes in climate. However, regardless of all possible negative consequences, the mankind continues oil production. On April 15, 2010, an explosion damaged an oil platform Deepwater Horizon that was located forty miles from the Mississippi Delta. The platform was under the control of British Petroleum. Deepwater Horizon burned a day and a half and all attempts to extinguish the fire failed. Nobody knew the exact quantity of oil that was pouring forth into the Gulf of Mexico. Final figures were in the range between 50,000 and 60,000 barrels a day. In two weeks, the oil spill covered 3,850 square miles. Besides, there were reports of casualties. Eleven workers were presumed dead, while most of the platform workers escaped in lifeboats.
