Going, Going, Gone! My Thoughts

The Article I read called Going, Going, Gone was about helium and how if we don't use it wisely we will run out of it for the next generation.

Why is this element rare on Earth, yet abundant throughout the Universe? Because over the millions of years the sun boiled it off on earth and we have used a lot of it up. That is why there is a lot of it in space.

What do we need this element for anyway? We need this element for lots of little things.

What could we do about this problem? Stop using it for unnecessary things like filling up balloons and correcting missile directions.

How could this issue happen with other elements? Give examples. If we used the element for unnecessary things.

  1. I think that many of your responses to these questions requires more development. For instance, in the last question you anwered for your blog post you were required to "give examples." I didn't see you include many of your own thoughts, and this seemed a little bit rushed.
