=**__ Belkin Power strips __**= The Belkin power strip is a very good way to help save energy. When compared to a regular power strip, the Belkin power strip has no less than eight outlets and no more than twelve outlets. An office company in the Mid-Atlantic with 100 employees saves around 982 dollars a year. Another company in Southern California with about 2,000 employees saves around 17,676 a year. Compared to a regular power strip the Belkin strip saves hundreds of dollars.

= = = **__ Power Strips Essay __** = I found this power strip that has anywhere from 8-24 outlets in it. The power strip that has 8 outlets has 6 outlets that you can turn off with a button, and the other two are always on for like your computer or television. In the 24 strip it’s basically the same thing except there are more outlets that you can turn off with the push of a button. In the Mid- Atlantic there is an office with 100 employees that use power strips when they switched to the Belkin power strip the office saved about 982.00 dollars per year. Another office company in Southern California with 2,000 employees saved around 17,676 dollars a year. I know what your thinking why do we care about power strips, well for the simple reason some teachers use them, and the Library has the round pretty colored ones. Well power strips don’t have to be the prettiest thing on Earth as long as they save energy right? So I’m thinking that the Punxsutawney Area School District should get them because they don’t cost that much only 50 dollars and for long lasting power strips. The School district would save a lot of money by doing that.

=<span style="color: #cc00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">Land Stand Survey results paragraph = <span style="color: #cc00ff; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;"> In my opinion I think that the agriculture helps the land for example the cows eat the grass and new grows ect. The state parks will kind of help the land and it will help classrooms for like when they go on fieldtrips and stuff. Not building anymore buildings would help until you tear the old ones down to recycle what can be recycled from it then go and build new ones. For highways the only way to build new ones is to do it the right way first and not half it.
