going green part 2

Not all the people realize that global warming is messing up the planet and us the people have to try our best to maintain it safe and keep it from getting polluted. I have been trying my best to save the planet ever since I saw the movie “Inconvenient Truth” it made me realize that the littlest things we do can save the planet and make it a safer place to live in. for example I have been turning off my computer in the nights before going to sleep, Before I use to leave it on the whole night and day until I used it. I saw that it takes up a lot of energy and is risking the planet from a blackout. I have also been using the light bulbs that don’t really take up a lot of energy and electricity, there not cheap but if it’s going to save the planet I’m willing to do it. My mother didn’t realize it but after I told her what I had learned she agreed with me on saving the planet at first she was confused but then she understood how global warming can finish the planet in no time. I have been trying to live green I recycle bottles now instead of throwing them in together with the trash we have a clear plastic bag which is only for bottles or anything that can be recycled such as glass, cans, plastic, etc. the little things you do can help make earth a better planet. Also I turn off all the lights before I go out. Before we use to leave the hallway light on and we didn’t know that it takes up to much energy and how it’s affecting the planet. Now whenever I see any electronic device on and is in no use I turn it off and make sure the energy isn’t being wasted for any reason. In my own ways I also been conserving paper when I wash my hands instead of using paper towels I use my regular towel that is made of silk. It makes paper in my house last more and it helps save money and paper which is made of trees in a way they all combine together to make the planet better. I didn’t realize how much pollution goes on in a daily basis and is sad to see that there is global warming occurring makes me really scared I hope people make the choice of helping save the planet so we can live longer and not worry about us breathing air that is going to be polluted in the future. I know I am not really doing a lot to save the planet but little by little I will try and I am going to be proud of what I am achieving. There is a lot of ways people can go green if you want to see how you can visit this website which gives u tips on what to use or do to save the planet: http://green.yahoo.com/living-green take a look at it and you will see how much can be done to save the planet.

trip to the library

When I first got to the library I was really confused this was the biggest one I been to in my life. At first I didn’t know where to go because there were two libraries and my class was in the other while I went through the whole library trying to find them. I pretty much looked around without the class but then I called one of my classmates and met up with them so I can catch up on things. I went to the other one were everyone was at and I looked into it and found so many different sections and it was five floors since I had gotten there late I pretty much didn’t know what to do. So I just left back to the other library and met up with Dr.Smith and we went in for a tour and were learning how the library has sections were u can’t really touch. What I found interesting was when we went into a room where they had like a bible which was very old and I’m not sure if it was Spanish or Portuguese can someone help me if they remember. This library had three floors and the stairs looked like if it was a mansion but very old the smell of it was like old books and it’s very colorful and designs. For example I remember we went into a room where there was a painting all over the roof I was in shock because it was so colorful and attracted my eyes. Also I wasn’t sure what the paintings meant because I wasn’t really paying attention but whoever did that masterpiece they did very good job. This trip was very fun to bad I got there late who knows I’m not really a fan of the library but in college I’m going to be very familiar with it. In the front of the main entrance the steps look like if you are going to walk up and see a king and it is very interesting because I never seen that before. The way it looks it reminds me of a big old mansion. I’m sure I will get to visit any other libraries with interesting books especially from the old times. In my opinion the library is boring for the simple fact that I am not a reader. Whenever I have to visit a library I get the chills and is so many rules to follow such as staying quite I’m very loud and when I have to stay quite is very hard to do. There were all different types of a person which seem interesting and prove that there is no age limit to reading a book you just have to make sure reading is your thing. In this library you’re not allowed to take home any books wit you it pretty much reminded me off a museum we get to look at them and just analyze them. This is pretty much what I can talk about this trip was pretty fun I got to explore a library for the first time I am just not a reader but who knows I’ll be back to do research.

go green

This world is gettin polluted every day which is very bad to our environment is causin alot of chemicals to be dispossed into the air which in future times can be very bad and cause health problems.i did a little research on the topic living green it was pretty intresting to see that there is so many ways to save the planet and keep it a safe place.it must be a very crazy idea to live completely green but if its for the best of people and saving the environment.with the sources it shows me how to conserve energy by buying light bulbs that are called cfl and they help safe energy.also by saving the use of paper you are helping the environment from trees bein g cut off which helps us avoid all different types of chemicals that are toxic and can pollute the air and if breathed will cause damage to your lungs.also by recyling anything that has to do with paper,glass,bottle,aluminuims,etc, this will help by reusin these scraps and building new things for the planet.while seeing the movie "The Inconvienient Truth' i relized so much things that i had no idea were being done daily wise such as global warming the more the air gets polluted the less carbon dioxide is on earth which in the future is going to be a problem because without air we would die and we need it to breath and live.i found it very unbelievable that in the future years earth is going to be destroyed and theres a chance that all the waters would just take over the land and we would be under water.Al gore really is showing the world that we should start goin green and helping our planet.if this is the only way to survive im going to start and helping the planet out myself but im pretty sure i already am such as when im home and im not watching tv i turn it off and conserve the energy.also by turning off my computer before i go to sleep that is a big issue because computers use alot of energy.in the summer time is very had to conserve energy for the simple fact that is very hot and alot of people have air conditioner and it makes them just leave it on all day and also when there not in the house but is very wrong everyone should turn them off and save that energy because imagine a blackout in the summer again that would be very bad we would literally die of hotness.in my house my mother always recycles all the bottles and cans because she always likes to keep it clean. this helps out alot specially the planet i think alot of people should relize whats going on and im pretty sure they would help and go green. i finally did that and im going to start helping the planet out in everyway i can specially at home by turnin off all lights when not needed and turning my tv off when im eithier not there or sleeping.
