Questions: 1. What places did you look at and what were the pollution problems there? Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Utah, Wyoming. 2. Discuss in your group the various places you chose. What common pollutants/industries/problems exist among the area? You may need to discuss them as rural vs. city issues. Bigger Cities with more Company's and industries equals more pollutions. 3. Are these pollutants or problems point source or non-point source pollution problems? Non point.

 * 1) Why is this a problem? How did it happen? Animals are dying from eating garbage that we the people have let lay. This occured from people littering.
 * 2) How is human health, aquatic organisms, and other organisms affected? Give an example of organisms affected and the problems it is causing. Everything can be effected by this pollution because it can reach water ways and as you can see it can be harmful to the animal population.
 * 3) What steps do you think need to happen in order to stop this from becoming a larger problem? Stop littering and introduce more people into recyling.
 * 4) Our households are a major problem of pollution. Read the articles here and there. What should people do to reduce water pollution that affects all of our water?

=Oil is More then Energy=

The US is spending 1 billion dollars a day on oil instead of using it on something else. They are also burning oil that is hurting the atmosphere. US is getting oil from 10 different countries. 4 million barals of oil are imported each day to the US. Oil is becoming hard to get in the US









Essay Topics 1. Ways to conserve energy in schools 2. Talk about alternative energy sources 3. Read scientist opinion on future energy plans

Information about conserving energy in schools
 * turn lights off in areas of the building that are rarely used.
 * check for places in the building where heat can escape so were not wasting heat.
 * try using half the lights that are in a class room.
 * rooms that are only half the time occupied the lights should be off.
 * in the cafeteria only have the lights on until lunch periods

Essay

A problem here at Punxsutawney Area High School, is that energy is getting wasted. For one, lights are left on in classrooms that are rarely or never used. Some larger rooms such as the auditorium, have all the lights turned on while there is less than 100 kids. Also during the winter months while the heat is on to heat the building, doors and windows are left hanging wide open which lets the heat escape. A way to change these problems are, to use more energy efficient light bulbs, and to make sure no classrooms that are not being used have the lights turned off. As far as wasting heat in the building we need to make sure that when someone enters or exits the building that the doors are all closed so the heat is trapped in the school. Another problem with the waste of heat is having the windows open. When a room gets to warm the teacher just pops open a window. Instead of doing this the thermostat should just be turned down. We talked to our school maintenance people and they were a big help on giving us ideas of wasting heat and energy that we have never thought about. Also with the survey we were able to determine where in the building the most energy is used. Other schools and large buildings are trying to save energy also. Using more energy efficient light bulbs, installing new windows and doors. Some people are even starting to save energy in their homes by turning off appliances that aren’t being used. And using less energy from appliances.

Land Stand Survey Results

I believe that the overall use of land in the US should be used for farm land. If this happened our soil would be so much more richer and there would be less unused land thats not being used. Also with more farming going on in might effect our economy in a good way because it is getting harder to buy farm grown products. Also if there was more land to farm and retired farmers got back into it maybe our country would design a new and cheaper for of fuel for tractors and combines and other farm machinery. =Hunger in the World= media type="file" key="Afghanistanbrooks.mov" width="418" height="418"
