Urban Dog Park

Urban dog parks, in my opinion, are important for the community. There is a demand of a safe area where dog owners are able to spend some quality time with their companion. In big cities, where there are not much any room for dogs to be active because of the limited area that they can freely run about. In addition, just walking into the streets may pose a problem, especially children for losing their dog on the street. The urban dog parks help makes it possible for dog owners and non dog owners to interact with each other. Owners do not have to worry about their companion to run away because of the closed gates and can able to relax or interact with other people in the park. Dogs have the opportunity to play with other dog and people can just watch or play with the dogs.The urban dog park will bring a sense of security because the closed gate. Lastly, the urban dog park can become a place where people can go and interact with many other individuals that may not have a chance to meet earlier.




Community Garden

The Community Garden is a place where many volunteers helped plant a plot of land and grow a large variety of vegetables or fruits. It is a great project that can further bring  the community  together and help improve it. The process of making a plot of land into food takes lot of time and effort. First is to test the soil to see if there are little or no contamination, so that people will not become sick overtime when eating the produce. University such as Mercer can help check it.
 The produce can be sold for income or can be given to soup kitchen that feed the homeless. This can all be achieve by establishing a Fresh Market. In addition, the community can bridge the people of low income and high income to achieve a greater good. The community garden can help make a sustainable environment where it many benefits such acting filters for pollution of air and water. Lastly, as the number of volunteer increase, there might be chance to attract people to learn more about health food and lifestyle and awareness of environmental sustainability.





Global Climate Change



Medieval Global Temperature Optimum
This climate period was around about the 950 AD to 1300 AD, which was during around the Middle Ages. It was at the North Atlantic region. In addition, it was hypothesis that the during Medieval Global Temperature Optimum was there climatic intervals that where there warm conditions that prevailed throughout parts of the world. Many researcher found many evidence of the Medieval Global Temperature Optimum by studying the large temperature excursions at Chesapeake Bay, in Maryland and Virginia, during that time period.

 

Little Ice Age
This climate period was after the Medieval Global Temperature Optimum. The period was approximately started at the mid 14th century and ended at the 19th century. The Little Ice Age mostly effected the Northern Hemisphere, where it during the middle, 1600-1700, of the Little Ice Age there was low solar activity which was called Maunder Minimum.
