Carbon Cycle
1) Carbon is already in oceans and sedimentary rocks
2) While carbon is in water, it forms into calcium carbonate
3) Corals and algae build up limestone reefs causing further respiration
4) On land plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates
5) Then carbon is libertaed into atomosphere when plants die or are eaten

GreenPeace
- ~Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and destructive fishing, and creating a global network of marine reserves.
- ~Protecting the world’s remaining ancient forests and the animal, plants and people that depend on them.
~Working for disarmament and peace by reducing dependence on finite resources and calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons.
~Creating a toxic free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in today's products and manufacturing.
~Supporting sustainable agriculture by encouraging socially and ecologically responsible farming practices.
If I were to join an environmental organization it would definitely be the GreenPeace organization for several reasons. The first reason would be because they are a well established organization with a lot of support. GreenPeace is also very involved in protecting our oceans wildlife and coral reefs. This had a big effect on me because I recently started scuba diving and would hate to see our beautiful oceans wildlife die.

To help fight against Global Warming GreenPeace created Project Hot Seat which gave important information on how you can help raise awareness in your community.

The GreenPeace organization is so radical they even harass Japanese Whaling boats trying to stop them. (Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert)
