The Biosphere one is not here because I couldn't get it but, you said that you could trust me so it is fine I guess.

Retracing your journey

• My favorite quest during this class was the Jurassic Park quest from the Extinction chain.
• The quest that challenged me the most was probably the quest Floods from the Natural Disasters quest chain. Mostly because I wasn't used to using locations in quests.
• I don't know exactly what you mean but I assume you meant what idea that you had the greatest impact on me, but the idea I think had the greatest impact would be when you linked a lot of the information that we were needed for notes to Youtube channels that I enjoy and related them into your class.
• The results of my sustainability challenge have ranged from me not relying on electronics as much to changing my eating. I have become vegetarian as of two months ago and I don't know if this class if what influenced me wanting to begin vegetarianism but it possibly could have.
• From this class I have learned how to use Google Maps (The example in the quest helped me remember that) TinkerCad, Blogger (Not necessarily caused by the class but the class made me use it), and how to look in Wikipedias references for more accurate documents of information.  

See The World! Sixth or Seventh- I don't know

This is my sixth or seventh see the world quest. Here you go!

The War for Water- The War for Water Quest Chain

In this post, I am going to be writing about an invention idea I came up with instead of writing about a conflict that happened over water. I think that the invention of a Water Purifying Bucket. The bucket could be used to scoop up water in massive amounts and the water would be automatically purified. This could be helpful for places similar to Africa where a lot of the water sources are polluted. The bucket would probably be two or three gallons large and would be made of some plastic material. There could purifiers, like the ones in water bottles, in the bucket so that it could purify it quickly and remove all the pollutants it can. The bucket could possibly have four purifiers in it like the ones in bottles and then it could also probably have a supply of those little tablets that are used to purify water supplies. I assume that all the purifiers would be top of the line so that they could continue to work over many years and in a good condition. The bucket would be very useful in places like Africa because it could be used to retrieve safe water for drinking, hygiene, or to use for anything else that the water may need to be pure for. I feel like this idea could be very useful and that there should already be something like this out in the world being used to give communities without safe drinking water.

Don't drink the water!- The war for water Quest Chain

My filter was made of a plastic bottle, a hairbow, two different paper towels, sand, small rocks, and large rocks. They were all layered in the bottle and little pieces of paper towel on the bottom tied on with the hairbow. I also did the Bhopal Gas Leak, Australia's colonization, and Synthetic Pesticides on the Padlet.

I already wrote my responses in the discussion forum and replied to atleast two people.

Choking on Air Pollution- Climate Change Quest Chain

I did the air pollutant Hydrochlorofluorocarbons. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are a large group of compounds, whose structure is very close to that of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), but including one or more hydrogen atoms. Under normal conditions, HCFCs are gases or liquids which evaporate easily. They are generally fairly stable and unreactive. HCFCs do not usually dissolve in water, but do dissolve in organic (carbon-containing) solvents. HCFCs are chemically similar to Hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Halons and therefore display some similar properties, though they are much less stable and persistent. HCFCs are also part of a group of chemicals known as the volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
