The ocean, the biggest sicker in the world
The researchers around the world are concerned about the health of the oceans. They are sick and getting sicker every day. There are three main problems that our oceans have to face: the reduction of oxygen levels, the increase in atmospheric temperature and the pollution.
First of all, the increase in the temperature is breaking the balance in the oceans. Warm water is not capable to hold as much oxygen as cold water does. In addition, the changes in the winds and water-currents caused by the temperature make difficult the mix water and the air. In consequence, the reduction in oxygen levels is worse than the scientists believed. Since 1950, the low oxygen zone in the ocean has grown about 60%. Nowadays, this zone is greater than the Africa continent. As a result, the coral bleaching (the loss of color and die) has been increasing. Before to 1980, this event happened every 25 to 30 years, but now the researchers report a harsh coral bleaching every 6 years. Whether the coral reef dies all of the species associated to it will die too. A study performed in 100 coral reefs showed that only 6 don’t present signals of coral bleaching.
Besides of that, the pollution is another important problem that our oceans have to face. The presence of many different compounds is threatening the marine life. The plastic pollution is one of the worse. A single piece of plastic takes about 800 years in breaking down. As a consequence, the researchers have estimated, by 2050 the concentration of plastic in the oceans will be greater than the fish.
Take care our ocean is so important because they support the life and help to maintain the balance in the world. If the human can’t solve or ease these problems, they will provoke an inhabitable catastrophe.

In the last four years, the costs linked with the solar energy has fallen making the solar energy more accessible.
Other important problem in the Area, it’s the use of the territory. The government and experts endorse the idea that solar Energy equipment could be placing on the water in Reservoir Park. Therefore, the use of the land will reduce, a great improvement in contrast to hydropower dams.
The world is changing faster, Asia has been the fastest continent to implement the solar technology. For instance, China plans to put in operation a big solar plant by 2020. In that sense, the solar energy technology has begun to be a global trending.
