I can honestly say that my success of the year was my garden and my notebook. I mean, my notebook isn't that great, not as good as my other class mates, but in my opinion i tried my best on this notebook and i am reaping the rewards. I worked hard this year, that i can also honestly say. I have a lot of failures if you look at my grades, thats a bit obvious! xD Although, the thing i learned this year, is that i work best under pressure. As strange as that sounds, i do. I will also remember that procrastination is my greatest flaw.

"Closing the loop"

What we need to do in terms of waste management is to stop buying new products such as whenever a new product of computers or television or phones. If it still works, you don't NEED to get it. Speaking about need, people need to learn the difference between the things that are needed for survival, and the things that we want. Especially in today's economy, the things that we want certainly are not needed for us to survive! When people say "closing the loop" in concerning waste management, what is meant is that we need to stop creating and wasting. We need to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

Population

How can a countrys population grow without birth? Well, a country also has to consider that immigration could be a possibility of the growth of population. Also, if new medications are made and old people don't kick the bucket (die) or pulling up daisies then the population will also grow, since people aren't dying. Those are two ways population can grow without birth.

fragile

I believe that the rainforest is the most fragile ecosystem/biome that the world has. That and the coral reefs. Why you may ask? Because they support the most biodiversity that the world has, not only that but the rainforest has many plants and animals that have yet to be discovered, and if people continue to destroy and  cut down trees from the rainforest there will be animals and plants that will go extinct that haven't even been discovered. As for the coral reefs, coral has been found to live for hundreds of years, and if I am correct were not quite sure what the average lifespan of coral is. If we continue to dump things into the ocean the coral will die, if we don't take care of the earth, temperatures will rise and the coral will die because they can't survive the most minor weather changes. And the fish that survive and thrive off of the coral will die as well. Too many animals are dependent on the coral and if we don't take care of them an entire ecosystem along with the biodiversity they hold will disappear off the face of the earth.
