Individual Activity Research 2 cars and how their design features affect fuel economy. Discuss how aspects of the engine, body, and other components of the car could be modified to minimize the amount of fuel the car requires. Which features are more fuel efficient? Which are least fuel efficient?

Car 1 Ford Focus Front wheel drive- helps reduce weight and size. Engine- Inline 4 front engine Power equipment- more weight less efficient. power equipment adds more weight. Automatic transmission- says to cost more than a manual. tire- P185/65R14 Good year intergrity Mpg- highway 21 City 16 (http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportation/personal/buying/vehicle-selection-tips.cfm?attr=8) (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_Factory_tire_size_for_ford_focus) Car 2 Dodge Durango Rear wheel drive Engine- now made with bigger engine, less efficient 3.7 liter V-6 Interior- more features Automatic Transmission tire- 235/75R15 Mpg- Highway 21 City 26 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Durango)

Essay Topics 1. Hallway light use - there are always lights on in the hallway. - We could save 20 to 40 percent by shutting off lights. - use motion sensor switches for the lights. 2. Equipment usage - Unplug all equipment when its not being used. - turn more tvs off when they are not used. 3. Classroom lighting - Don't need all bars of lights on during class. - Use florescent lights.

Essay information The light use in the school is on way to much, every hallway is lit up everyday where they don't even shut off hall lights that aren't being used. In each classroom there are about 17 bar lights and they are all on each day. On the teacher Survey one survey turned in was partially good the teacher has the lights off when they leave but they have them all on when they are in the room. They leave the laptop plugged in all day have the heater on but doors open. on a sight on ways to save energy, it says you need to change bulbs regularly, thicken the windows, blinds down when trying to cool the room, Use the sun as a light source during the school days if its bright enough. Every school spends more on electric bills then what they do on text books and computers for each year. A student in Horace Mann Elementry surveyed how much energy is wasted on electric pencil sharpeners, to sharpen one pencil it takes 75 watts. Shutting off lights, turning off computers, and adjusting thermostat settings it save 15 to 20 % on the electric bill. Motion sensor lights do save some money on the electric bill but they do have many downfalls they do use electricity and some need batteries.

= Energy Essay = In our school the main problem is high energy usage, We use lights that shouldn’t really even need used as much as we do. When we use these lights that don’t need on all the time it raises the energy and raises the electric bill. Here are some major areas where we should be cutting down on the energy we are using. In each classroom there are about 4 rows of lights and each day all those rows of lights are left on till school is out. I feel there is no need to keep all the lights on, and in order to save money teachers need to limit the lights they have on in the classroom. On bright sunny days teachers can limit the lights and use the light coming from outside. In the energy audit the science for living class did it showed that some sort of lights light's up the whole school. I think the whole school needs to participate in saving money. Someone needs to be in charge of shutting off lights that don't need on during the time they check. On a web sight on how to conserve energy it stated shutting off lights that aren't being used saves 15 to 20% on electric. One elementary school turned there school into the "little green schoolhouse" to show they are taking part in saving energy and money. The next highest area is equipment use; all classrooms have equipment plugged in on each circuit. I researched how much money you will be saving just by switching to energy efficient light bulbs, you can save up to $60 http://www.nstaronline.com/residential/energy_efficiency/facts.asp.The teacher survey we did show that the classrooms have their computer cart plugged in while not even being used. The televisions are also turned on when announcements are not showing. One teacher in the survey said he/she leaves their laptop plugged in all day, if it's charged it should be unplugged. Leaving things plugged in will raise electric. A great way to save money is to replace all light switches with motion censors and let the lights run like that. Another way to save money is narrowing down bus routes and combining more buses that run close to the same route. Best way to save energy would be to switch to Florescent bulbs because they use 1/4 the energy than what other bulbs do and they last ten times longer http://www.peninsula.wednet.edu/conservation/Energy/e_info.htm Turner Construction is said to be the best green builder, He gives tips and advice to other companies to go green and stay green. Turner goes to schools all over the United States to help enforce energy efficiency. I know if the whole school district participates we can save money, we just have to work together and keep enforcing energy saving tips.

= Land Stand Paragraph = The main focus of the land use in the United States should be the most important downfall or declining land problems. Our tax money is going for uses that aren't even really important. The government is using our money on stuff they would like to see be renewed but it's our money so we should be aloud to decide what it goes towards for fixing. When it comes to farmers wanting to sell their land they really aren't aloud to choose whom they sell it to or how they sell it. If the farmers spent their money buying the land they should be aloud to sell it to who ever they want. Urban Sprawl should be up to the people who own they land, if they want to extend urban areas then let them. I really don't think the cities need to keep renewing or fixing up their place. We need to start worrying about actual land use instead of cities wanting new equipment. Everyone is so worried about the extinction of animals but then they are all for cutting trees down and clearing out woods. If they are so worried about the wild life they need to let the trees alone. So the animals have a habitat.
