Let us protect and conserve our natural resources




Natural resources are the raw materials, such as plants, water, soil, rocks etc. these resources are used by humans or other living species, to meet their needs. It is our duty to protect and enhance our environment. My community named Pétion-Ville it is mostly mountainous and it was very well known for its beauty and freshness because it was green throughout its extent. 
Pétion-Ville
But nowadays due to anthropogenic factors it becomes increasingly warm. If simply, we continue to clear cutting without replanting that will increases those significant issues in the years to come, such as erosion, drought, heat effect, declining economy and the community will become vulnerable, sensitive and exposed to natural disasters and what is worse it can turn against the lives of people living in the community.

To avoid this sad situation we must build our houses a correct way. Do not cut or remove trees in bad conditions especially, near the aquifers or sources of water, mountains and ravines.
In place of turning forests into crops and other vegetable gardens, we can encourage agroforestry, which means, the gardens can still there but underneath the forest cover or surround by trees. As an example coffee growing under trees in other words, shade coffee, are better and have a very good taste than those who grow entirely exposed to the sun. The use of the compost is better than some fertilizer which can cause water pollution. Compost reduces the organic trash, and does not require money, and the use of herbicides and pesticides should be under control. Based on my opinion, “Natural resources are the beauty and education is all the necessary tools to maintain this beauty and even improve it”. Education on the protection and conservation of natural resources must be taught through church, school and family.

Because coal is still considered as a primary source of fuel for some people in my community, my project aims also to teach people about making briquettes from Waste, newspaper and bock corn, slash, etc. so we can reduce our current challenges and avoid other similar issues.

Importance of drawing

Image
Have you ever draw something that you have in your mind? Drawing is something innate in me, and while I was growing up I learn how important that it should be in someone’s life. In this page, I am going to discuss positive aspect of drawing base on my own experience of using it to express feelings, send messages and relieve stress. Drawing has great value that express strong feeling. I use drawing to describe my objectives and express my emotions by drawing things that are related to my short and long term goal in college. When I was in the US, in my bedroom there were a lot of pictures on the wall. They were just like the sing light in the streets there roles were to remind me why I was in the USA. I also used drawing to illustrate my journals. I drew Images which appropriate to my writings especially for English class in order to memorize them. Drawing can be interpreted in different ways and use to transmit messages. I draw pictures about me which can help people to unde...

Natural Resources & Environmental Engineering

Image
As this class introduces us to alternative engineering technologies that can be used at home in our countries more precisely in rural, and underdeveloped communities, and countries to ameliorate environmental conditions, Public health, and we also learn how to face many other challenges.  We do a lot of trips, going to many different sites to learn about what some organizations, and people are doing. We saw, and learned about many works that are related to our field of study, and also we always have a guess speaker to share experiences, and teach us about many different topics that are mostly focus on sustainable practices using local materials, and effective engineering strategies.  Composting at Troutdale, Oregon        Last week we had an opportunity to hear one of our famous science teachers in campus, Mr. Bill H. Becker to talk about composting, which in my group for our engineered project; we are working on building a Composting ...
