The Earth, Our Planet

Hello everybody my name is Nicholas Lowery , I am currently a third year student and studying business and communications. I have enrolled in this course because the content being studied seems innovative and interesting. Also because of the growing rate in which social media’s affect the rate that we can receive and share information.    

 The purpose of my blog is to identify and discuss current issues involving the environment. I have chosen to blog about this topic because of the current environmental issues and concerns that are always relevant within the media and recently there have been concerns with gasoline consumption and the negative effects of carbon dioxide, and the pollution of our environment. I feel that is important to be informed of the environmental issues, because these issues affect everyone like, Clear cutting, Oil spills and the never ending argument of global warming.
