Let’s Protect Our Environment! Go Green! \(^^)/

 Why is it important to protect our environment? The Earth systems are under threat. Global warming, freshwater depletion, biodiversity reduction, hole in the ozone layer, greenhouse effect - are all examples of such threats. Environment is just like our home. If it is safe, then we are safe. And if it is damaged then we have to pay for it. So we have to protect the environment. Make it clean, safe and better.

How do we start protecting our environment? There are many ways for us to protect our environment. These are some simple ways for you to start with:

• Reduce, reuse, and recycle
• Switch of electrical appliances when you’re not using them
• Don’t waste water. Turn off the water when you’re not using it
• Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones
• Use public transportation or eco-friendly vehicles
• Avoid using plastic bags, use reusable shopping bags

Whirlpools

A whirlpool is a small "underwater" tornado. It is created by two currents or tides coming from different directions and colliding. The vast majority of whirlpools are not very powerful. More powerful ones are more properly termed malestroms. Vortex is the proper term for any whirlpool that has a downdraft. Very small whirlpools can easily be seen when a bath or a sink is draining, but these are produced in a very different manner from those in nature. Smaller whirlpools also appear at the base of many waterfalls. In the case of powerful waterfalls, these whirlpools can be quite strong. The most powerful whirlpools are created in narrow shallow straits with fast flowing water.

The five strongest whirlpools in the world are the Saltstraumen in Norway, which reaches speeds of 37 km/h (23 mph); the Moskstraumen off the Lofoten islands in Norway (the original maelstrom), which reaches speeds of 27.8 km/h (17.3 mph); the Old Sow in Eastport, Maine, United States, which has been measured with a speed of up to 27.6 km/h (17.1 mph); the Naruto whirlpools in Japan, which have a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph); and the Corryvreckan in Scotland, which reaches speeds of 18 km/h (11 mph).

Will the Water Cycle Eventually Stop?

Water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. Water can change states among liquid, vapor, and ice at various places in the water cycle. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and subsurface flow. In so doing, the water goes through different phases: liquid, solid, and gas.

When will the water cycle stop? In some areas of the world where there is no rainfall for long periods of time, local water cycles do stop. When one event in the cycle fails to happen, the cycle breaks down.

But water can neither be created nor destroyed – it will always exist in some form. If you consider the world as a whole, with one big water cycle, the processes involved are always occurring somewhere; this cycle never stops.

Lyrics of Love Story - Taylor Swift~

Love Story - Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you

I closed my eyes and the flashback starts 

I’m standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights see the party the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowds and say hello

Little did I know,

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

And I was crying on a staircase begging you please don’t go

And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run

You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess

It’s a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet cuz we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

Cuz you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter

My daddy said stay away from Juliet

Cuz you were everything to me I was begging you please don’t go

And i said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run

You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess

It’s a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me they try to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult but it’s a real

Don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess

It’s a love story baby just say yes

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you is fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet you’ll never have to be alone

I love you and that’s all I really know

I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress

It’s a love story baby just say yes

Cuz we were both young when I first saw you
