Hello Readers!
I hope everyone is a having a lovely, relaxing day in the sunshine! I think the weather is perfect for talking about photosynthesis... but that could be just me:) This weeks assignments have really been stretching me in my personal beliefs and stimulating many thoughts concerning God's beautiful creation and the concerns of global warming.
Upon reading the assignments about photosynthesis, I have come to realize how truly dependent we are upon plants. I have never really thought about it before. (Ok.. ok... maybe in sophmore year of high school, but that was a long time ago.) The process of Photosythesis is conducted through plants and without them, we couldn't live! That is so amazing to me that we are so dependent on plants and the sun, and the moon, and all of creation. Photosynthesis is always occuring and is always providing us with the benefits of life. When I researched how much energy we recieve from photosynthesis, I got really confused. All I know is that it is necessery for energy and life. Which brings me to the point about deforestation in the nothern hemisphere. After researching, I realize how important it is to have many plants and forests to produce photosynthesis. I believe that it would be best to keep as many forest as possible... Theses are just some of my thoughts, what's your thoughts?

I would have to agree with you. Keeping forests is very important. Also, think about how much oxygen trees and plants provide! They provide enough oxygen to sustain humans and animals. This is why it is so important to protect trees and the planet.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as well. I think this topic has made each and everyone of us rethink how we live on a daily basis. If we truly respect our Earth and resources why do we treat it the way we do? I know personally, that I can drive less and/or more efficiently by doing all my shopping on one day of the week, but if it doesn't fit into my schedule I continue to waste. I have definitely been convicted by my lifestyle. I know now that I can treat my environment better and do my part to maintain a healthy earth.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I was wondering is if the coniferous trees help us out more than deciduous trees because they don't lose their leaves? I was just thinking that these trees must really help us out in the fall/winter because a lot of trees lose their leaves in the fall. And the leaf is where photosynthesis takes place.
