My initial experience with google alerts and twitter is very positive. After perusing the sustainability websites, I decided to set up google alerts for loss of biodiversity and I decided to follow several conservation ecology twitter accounts. So far, I've been able to read a few websites that talk about plant life biodiversity. In some areas where the plant biodiversity has begun to decrease, the availability of drinking water and even some food and energy sources have started to decrease. It's horrible how just the decreasing plant biodiversity can cause such drastic things like this to occur. Just imagine if some important organisms in food webs and ecosystems begin to disappear. That can only cause harm to our environment. Overall, the loss of biodiversity is harming our ecosystem in more ways than one.
