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.

AMNH
Well my trip to the museum was pretty fun and educational I didn’t really stay there that long but the
time I was there I explored a lot of different rooms such as the 4th floor which has alll the animals that were extinct such as the dinosaurs,mammouths,and all different types of animals that no longer exist.i took a few pictures not much just some important ones I basically followed the sheet that Dr.Smith gave us such as the room were different types of climates and what causes it to change which is gases from the greenhouse which is made up of nitrogen,oxygen,carbon dioxide,and water vapor.durin this exploring I saw all different types of things that I didn’t even kno they were such as the section were there was animals from the past that I never even heard of.well what I saw at the museum is more believable then the film an inconvenient truth because in the film is only a visual experience that doesn’t explain the different causes of climate in the museum I got to do hands on works which I liked because it made me relize that the world in a couple of years is goin to come an end.i didn’t reallt do a lot of observations but with the help of my group I got some ideas of it some of the museum is media because its information that was made by people that explored the topic and the resources can b found in different exploring websites.the museum was a pretty good trip and in the future wen I have the chance I will go again and explore it from head to toe and I will make sure that I get information on it.when I was in the 4th floor they had a little room that had a t.v showin different types of animals from animal planet and information which is basically media type. This shows how real life can be made into media and all it takes is a person doing research on the topic and sending there information to the museum.i hope that I visit different types of museums so I can learn more about how real life can be changed into media.
