=**water shortages**= another way that some people are dealing with it is desalination the ocean water even though its more expensive it is some areas last hope. another thing to consider might be the small things that we can do to help conserve water like using less water for washing the dishes or turning or fixing a leaky fosset. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-dont-we-get-our-drinking-water-from-the-ocean** http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=top-10-water-wasters http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=facing-the-freshwater-crisis
 * some areas are dealing with the new water shortages by placing restrictions on the amount of water people can use or the time that fresh water can be obtained.

car project Aerodynamic Aluminum body with sealed nickel-metal 15’ tires bigger tires mean more energy to run them 2 wheel drive more gas millage, 98 horse power 5200 rpm more fuel efficient in the long run

hummer- 4 wheel drive, non aerodynamic more wheels to turn more energy used boxy car not as aerodynamic causes wind reduction 300 horse power, 5.3L V8 bigger gas tank more gas

=** Oil is more than energy **= How is oil production/distribution as well as political and economic issues related? Its got from the ground political issues are we are progressively getting oil from more and more hostile countries and the money that we are giving them are supporting anti-American and other bad policies, economic issues are the money that they are getting are staying in their country and staying to the rich of the country and not getting spread around to diversities things. Write 5 statements that are concerns expressed in this article. 1The rich who get the money from oil don’t give any to their people.2 If we dot stop now we the oil reserves that we are using will dry up and we will look to more volatile and antagonistic countries that could pose a threat to our national security 3 the burning of oil causes global warming 4 oil companies that we don’t buy from are benefiting from the rise in oil prices 5 that because climate change is occurring that national security is going to be compromised because their interlinked problems

What do you think? Research more information if needed to back up your statements. I do think that we should stop getting oil from hostile countries and if we did it would help the economic outcome of both countries, and since oil is one of the leading causes of greenhouse gasses that it should be at least slowed down so we minimize the amount of environmental damage

=Ideas for saving energy= 1) Turn off lights when not in use and use less lights when in the room if possible or use more energy efficient lighting when we did the energy audit we found all the hall lights on and many more unnessery lights were on all the time when no one was in the room to use them if we installed motion sensing lights we could save energy is you use energy efficent bulbs instead of the regular ones you it could pay for it self in about 6 months, reduces energy use by 75 percent and last 10 times longer then a regular buld http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=find_a_product.showProductGroup&pgw_code=LB http://blog.arcadianlighting.com/energy-efficientenergy-saving-lighting-tips/ this explains some lesser known method of conserving energy by useing less lighting suck as accent lighting and others http://oikos.com/esb/50/lightingpatterns.html tells about http://asumag.com/energy/lighting/university_energylighting/ tells alternative ways to save energy http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-07-31-green-schools_N.htm said students did better in math and science in eco frendly schools and schools save billions http://greenbuildingelements.com/2009/04/16/florida-schools-take-green-very-seriously/ green schools are poping up every where and new schools are mandated to be leed certifided http://geology.utah.gov/sep/energy_efficiency/efficient_tips_schools.htm

2) When things aren’t in use turn them off such as printers projection boards and others if not necessary 3) install programmable thermostats for heating and cooling of the school could cut costs by a lot and pay for it self in one heating/cooling season

I think the biggest problem at school for wasting energy would be the lights that are constantly on and running when hardly anyone’s in the halls. Did you know that over 20 percent of energy is used on lighting in schools? I propose that we put sensors in the school to preserve energy. I found that in the halls we always have lights on and hardly anyone’s in the hall except when classes are out. If we put motion sensors in the school the installation costs will pay for its self over time and save a ton of energy. And in the actual classrooms almost always there are all the lights on when maybe half will do especially if they use compters a lot because it doesn’t require seeing paper all the time. Other schools have done it and actually found it bosted performance with test grades because of the natural lighting. Even if we go less dramatic and go with a fluorescent lighting one bulb can save over 30 dollars over its lifetime and pay for its self in about 6 month it uses 75 percent less energy and lasts 10 times longer. If you want to go more dramatic then you can change the lighting around in such a way to save energy and make it look significantly better such as the experiment done in 1994 in Rochester New York, they used indirect linear fluorescent lights above the cabinets Recessed halogen down lights above the counter, fluorescent task lights under the cabinets some of the other ways are to use a sensor, which use motion to tell weather the lights should be on of off depending on weather or not a person is in the room so if no ones there it saves energy even if the sensors are a bad idea for the halls we can use more energy efficient bulbs to reduce the amount of energy used. even if we put more skylights in the second floor it'll help or maybe more windows to let more light in.

I believe that land should be used more for farms and growing food and other beneficial plants. More rural areas should be left alone and no more cities built on rural land. In the U.S in 2000 only 2% of people are farmers and more people are being born everyday so don’t you think we need more farmers and more land to grow things for the growing population? I also think that we should keep state parks because sometimes it creates great tourism for the town and the forests and animals are needed for a diverse ecosystem and we’re slowly killing all the animals off.
