Based on the concept map that I created from the video that I watched, all of these connections are about natural resources. The definition of natural resources on my concept map is "Anything that people take from the environment and use" (Jerome, Exploring Natural Resources). Once I put that definition, I displayed two separate boxes, Non-Renewable resources and Renewable Resources. 

These connect to the natural resources box because non-renewable and renewable are the two types of natural resources. The examples that I used for non-renewable resources were oil and natural gas. These two examples correlate to non-renewable resources because they are not quickly replaced by nature. Oil and natural gas can take millions of years, if that, to be replaced. 

The examples I put for renewable resources were trees and water. These correlate to renewable resources because they are used every day by our population and can be replaced and reused pretty quickly. We use both of these for so many things in our daily lives. If these resources were not able to be replaced, then we would most likely not survive on earth for very long.

Clean Coal? Myth or Reality.

  Is clean coal a myth or reality? There have been quite a few conversations involving the term "clean coal". Many questions have been developed from this statement and I have an argument about whether there is such a thing as clean coal or not. There is no such thing as clean coal, it is impossible. That term has been used out of context for years and has been very confusing to many people. Clean coal is most definitely a myth.  According to the New York Times, "Confusingly, administration officials have sometimes used "clean coal" to refer to highly efficient coal plants that do not use carbon capture but emit somewhat less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than older coal plants"(Plumer, 2017). This term has developed a trail of many lies about coal plants. Just because some coal emits less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, does not mean that it is completely clean. With that being said, coal is never completely clean. Coal can be washed, but there w...
