1. Ocean
Acidification

2. pH Scale
- 0 to 14, 7 is neutral
- Logorithmic (black coffee
is about 7 times the acidity of
milk)
- 8.2 to 8.1 since the
beginning
of the industrial revolution
- Acidity increased by 30%

3. Coral reefs are home to nearly one fourth of all marine species and
they provide places to find food, safe locations from predators, and
areas for reproduction

6. - About 1/4 of worldwide human protein
consumption is provided by the ocean
- In Asia, about 1 billion people rely on fish
as their primary source of protein
-There are about 200 million people
worldwide employed in the fishing
enterprise

8. CO2 Emissions
- Our energy-related activities account for
about ¾ of human CO2 emissions
- Caused by the burning fossil fuels.
-Deforestation is also a major factor of CO2
emissions; plants and trees can absorb CO2

11. - Still relatively new
- Many governments
unaware
- Ideas of using alkaline
(high pH/very basic) too
difficult

12. - Walk, bike, or take public buses
- Recycle/reuse products
- Make your home more efficient
- Vote whenever possible
