The larger mammals that constantly move around the reserve – wolves, deer, brown bears, lynx, elk, and recently reintroduced bison – are at particular risk, he says.”-Samy</li><li>“The forests in the zone remain a radioactive tinderbox that, in the event of fires, could send radioactive isotopes on the winds towards Kyiv. The risks of that happening are now much greater, says the UNCG’s forest campaigner Yehor Hrynyk. With fire-fighting equipment looted and much of the exclusion zone dangerous for firefighters to enter, some <a href="https://uncg.org.ua/en/news-from-ukrainian-forests-issue-2-08-08-2022/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent">65,000 acres</a> has burned since the invasion, and fires continue to smolder in underground peat.”-Colin</li><li>“Many industrial plants are damaged or abandoned;wrecked sewage works gush their contents into rivers; damaged pipelines are filling wetlands with oil; and <a href="https://wwfcee.org/news/assessing-the-environmental-impacts-of-the-war-in-ukraine" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent">toxic military scrap</a> is spread across the land.”- Flavio</li><li>“A particular concern is the many coal mines abandoned after 2014.

Single Use Plastics

My AP Biology Thoughts  Unit #: 8- Disruptions to Ecosystems --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <h3>EPISODE TITLE: Single Use Plastics</h3>Jaiden: Welcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, our names are Jaiden, Adam, and Reena and we are your hosts for this episode called Unit 8, Human Stupidity and Single Use Plastics. Today we will be discussing how single use plastics cause disruptions to the ecosystem and how it relates to the AP Biology Curriculum. The Podcast will be broken up into three segments. The first segment will show the general overview of single-use plastics and the second segment will show how these plastics impact the environment and why it relates to the AP Biology Curriculum. Finally, segment three will discuss how we can contribute and reduce single use plastics.Segment 1: Overview of Topic<ul><li>Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues</li><li>According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generated 35.7 million tons of plastic in the United States. </li><li>Single use plastics are plastics that are used for a brief period of time, before they are thrown away. These include plastic straws, spoons, bottles, and bags</li><li>Microplastics are extremely small pieces of plastic debris. They are generally about five millimeters, or approximately the diameter  an eraser on a #2 pencils,  in length to be considered microplastics</li></ul> Segment 2: Just how much harm is plastic causing <ul><li>Some plastics such as Chlorinated plastics is harmful for the soil around it along with water sources making it harder for organisms to grow</li><li>It takes 1,000 years for a plastic bag to degrade in a landfill. However, the plastic does not degrade completely but instead becomes microplastics that absorb toxins and continue to pollute the environment.</li><li>An estimated 13 million plastic tons are thrown into the ocean each </li><li>These small plastic particles may harm our health once they have entered our bodies. Plastic products contain chemical additives. A number of these chemicals have been associated with serious health problems such as hormone-related cancers, infertility and neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and autism.</li><li>There are now 5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces, weighing up to 269,000 tonnes. This is because every day, around 8 million pieces of plastic make their way into our oceans.</li><li>Unlike some other kinds of waste, plastic doesn't decompose. That means plastic can stick around indefinitely, wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems. Some plastics float once they enter the ocean, though...

Marine Life on the Catalina Coast

<h2>My AP Biology Thoughts  </h2><h2>Unit 8 Ecology </h2><h2>EPISODE TITLE: Marine Life on the Catalina Coast</h2>Welcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, our names are Sofia, Addie, Gillie, and Diana, and we are your hosts for the episode called Unit 8 Ecology- Marine Life on the Catalina Coast. Today we will be discussing Marine Life on the Beautiful Catalina Coast and how it relates to the AP Biology Curriculum. We want to thank our sources for the information presented in this podcast episode today which you can find the citations and links to these sources in the show notes.<h2>Segment 1: Overview of Catalina Coast</h2><ul><li>Have you ever heard of the film Step Brothers? Perhaps… the Catalina Wine Mixer? While this is a great film in movie history, it does not correctly portray the true biodiversity of the Catalina Coast.</li><li>Now that you’re speaking about it, I remember looking up the Catalina Coast a while back and getting really intrigued by all of the stuff I was finding. I went down a rabbit hole for like three hours. I didn’t even know there was that much to look at. I might have to plan a vacation there.</li><li>I’m not going to lie I tend to stay away from the water because to quote Raven “I can’t swim” </li><li class="ql-indent-1">And not to mention all the animals…. The ocean is a mystery that I do not wanna explore</li><li class="ql-indent-1">But nonetheless, here we are today learning about the insane vastness of biodiversity</li><li>The Catalina Coast is located 23 miles off the coast of Southern California. If you’re taking a helicopter, you can get to the Catalina islands in 15 minutes. It is a part of the Channel Islands archipelago and is one of the four southern channel islands</li></ul> <h2>Segment 2: Evidence that supports Marine Life on the Catalina Coast</h2><ul><li> Catalina Coast is the home of the Blue Cavern Onshore State Marine Conservation Area</li><li class="ql-indent-1">If I remember correctly, Katy Perry says, “nothing comes close to the (I’m sure) Blue Cavern Onshore State Marine Conservation Coast”, and that includes humans, as it is a conservation</li><li class="ql-indent-1">For the record, Sofia is not remembering this line correctly, but the idea is there.</li><li>More than 60 endemic species… meaning they are only found in the Catalina Coast region</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Conservationists are working to preserve these endemic species to maintain the genetic diversity of this region</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Ensuring that each species can adapt to environmental factors</li><li>Since Sofia wanted to quote Katy Perry, I’ll quote a super underground artist that you guys definitely wouldn’t know…. They’re called the Four Preps…… They sang a song called 26 miles (Santa Catalina)</li><li>So anyway, they talk about how it's only 26 miles from Cali baby and it's full of romance.</li><li><span...
