Working on the slideshow made me realised how globalisation affected the plant life on this planet. Many of the flowers I saw came from the far corners of the world. It was just under 500 years ago that Magellan sailed around the world. In many ways everyone of us are affected by this plant globalisation. We are much closer than we have imagined.
Many species of flowers I saw were created by human. We have been cloning plants for long time. Such plant is called a ‘cultivar’ and their survival will be dependent on human. When I look up their names in books, I have discovered thousands and thousands of species were created, excluding cultivars. Our relationship with plants are also much closer than have imagined. Thus, we have not only shrink distances, we have also shrink the gap between species.
Working on the slideshow also gave me a sense of the beauty of life and the unity of life on world. I am grateful to be alive and be able to witness the marvels of evolution.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

3. ACACIA PLANT
Seed pods of Acacia cyclops (A. cyclopis) showing the bright
red attachment stalk coiled around each seed. The enlarged
photo insert (red arrow) shows a seed with the attachment stalk
uncoiled. A brightly colored stalk presumably aids in seed
dispersal by birds. The hard black seeds pass through the bird's
digestive system unharmed and are dispersed to new locations.
This Australian shrub is naturalized in coastal dunes of
California and is commonly planted along highways. Recent
research indicates that the attachment stalks of a related species
(A. verticillata) are actually lipid-rich structures called
elaiosomes. The seeds are carried by ants to their nest where the
elaiosomes are eaten and the seeds are discarded.

5. Original Genus Acacia Split Into Six
Genera
Senegalia greggii) genus Senegalia differ from Acacia by the presence of
prickles and the absence of phyllodes. A naturalized acacia in San Diego
County called “sweet acacia” (A. farnesiana var. farnesiana) has been placed
in the genus Vachellia. Members of the genus Senegalia can be distinguished
from Vachellia by the absence of stipular spines and the presence of
prickles. The origin of stipular spines vs. prickles is quite different, and
molecular taxonomists have concluded that the separation of these species
into separate groups is warranted. Some of the Acacia species mentioned in
this article are now placed in separate genera.
Senegalia greggii
6. Faidherbia albida
Faidherbia albida (formerly Acacia albida), commonly called winter thorn or
apple-ring acacia. Although it has paired stipular spines and pinnate leaves like
Acacia species, it is morpholically quite different. Monophyletic cladograms show
that it is distinct from Acacia and belongs on a separate monotypic branch
(clade). The circular, indehiscent seed pods resemble apple rings.
7. Acacia saligna
Acacia saligna (willow acacia) native to Australia. This is a phyllode-leaf
species that retains the genus Acacia.
9. Vachellia farnesiana
Vachellia farnesiana (formerly Acacia farnesiana). Called "sweet acacia" the
flowers are very fragrant. This species is naturalized in San Diego County.
10. Vachellia drepanolobium
Vachellia drepanolobium (formerly acacia drepanolobium). This is the
famous “whistling thorn” of kenya. It has bulbous thorns (paired stipular
spines) occupied by stinging ants of the genus crematogaster. Like the
central american acacias, the ants hollow out the soft green thorns for
living quarters. Giraffes and other herbivores normally eat thorny acacia
foliage, but leave the whistling thorn alone. In fact, for most south
african acacias, spines alone are no deterrent to giraffes. They simply
reach high into the branches and carefully wrap their long prehensile
tongue around the tender foliage, carefully avoiding the vicious spines.
Old thorns which have been vacated by the ants make a whistling sound
as wind blows across the entrance hole. See more information below.
11. 7 Uses for Acacia

12. Gum arabic
The frozen juice bar and candies in above photo contain a thickening agent called gum
arabic (gum acacia) from the sap of Acacia senegal or a related African species. The
ice cream contains two similar natural gums, including carrageenan from a red alga
called Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) and Guar gum from the powdered seeds
of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus, a herbaceous perennial from Africa.
