My experience at AMNH was different than the times when I was younger. There was more of understanding of what was going on in the museum and in the area's we gathered information from. What I learned from the museum is that ninety nine percent of Earth's atmosphere green house gases are made up of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and methane. The Earth is kept warm by the green house gases which entraps the sun's radiation. Throughout the years from 1870 to 1970 carbon dioxide has increased in the atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is partly responsible for the warming of the Earth. The cycling of the The Earth's elements is what allows life to thrive and survive. When you think about AMNH it is a form of media. It exhibits the life of many different animals of the past and the present. It explains their lifestyle that you can also watch on television. Except that in the museum everything seems more real. Humans can de naturalize nature by tearing down trees, using pollutants that harm the water and the atmosphere. We can continue to throw our recyclables in the trash instead of the recycling bin, we can not use energy savers and continue you do what is wrong instead of doing what is right. Humans can re naturalize by using the technology that we have. We can plant trees, use less fossil fuels or create more museums that would explain that humans are the number one destroyer of the planet Earth and that it is up to us to reverse the damage.

Good basis Adair! I'd like to see you, in the future, making more connections like you begin to make here.
