Solutions to The Loss of Biodiversity of Fish and Trees

K.P.T.

Our solution to solve the decrease in fish biodiversity is to cryogenically preserve fish embryos. The issue of over fishing and the decrease in the fish population in general has been an issue for years. Many different solutions have been applied to the problem. They have helped slow the loss of fish biodiversity, but unfortunately the solutions have not helped enough. If it is predicted that here will be almost no fish left in the world’s oceans by the year 2050, then we at least need to prevent the species from becoming extinct. If scientists preserve fish embryos, they can be reintroduced into the world’s oceans when a solution to the decline of fish biodiversity is found, and allowed to gradually rebuild the fish population.

Our solution to solve the decrease in the biodiversity of trees is to slowly integrate more technology into schools and reduce the amount of paper they use. Schools use packets of paper every day, causing the deaths of hundreds of trees. The trees simply cannot grow fast enough to compensate for the amount of paper the schools use. If the schools have an electronic reader that is loaned to each student, textbooks and other necessary reading materials can be downloaded and taken off of the reader as needed. Textbooks use hundreds of pages each, and there are hundreds of textbooks in each school. If textbooks were read electronically, it would drastically cut down on the amount of paper that needs to be produced. It would also prevent schools from having to purchase new textbooks every year to compensate for those that were lost. In addition, if students submitted their work electronically, paper would not be used to print countless rough drafts except when a hard copy is absolutely necessary. Students could be issued tablet laptops that could be typed and written on. This would eliminate the use for notebooks. They could be used to type notes and even to hand write math problems. Teachers could administer tests electronically and students would still be able to handwrite their answers using the tablet feature of the laptop. Slowly integrating technology into schools would prevent the loss of hundreds and thousands of trees every year. By preventing the loss of the trees, we would be further preventing the loss of tree biodiversity.
