=__climate change research__= 1.You may have heard about **global warming**. It seems that in the last 100 years the earth's temperature has increased about half a degree Celsius. This may not sound like much, but even half a degree can have an effect on our planet.

2.More and more Americans find themselves underwater, and it has nothing to do with a swimming pool – though it could be described as feeling like they’re drowning. As we report in Tuesday’s WSJ, nearly one in four borrowers - or roughly 10.7 million people - owe more than their homes is worth, according to FirstAmerican Core Logic. Some face shortfalls worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

3.The main ice covered landmass is antratic at the South Pole, with about 90 percent of the world's ice (and 70 percent of its fresh water). Antarctica is covered with ice an average of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) thick. If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet). But the average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C, so the ice there is in no danger of melting. In fact in most parts of the continent it **never** gets above freezing

Have you ever wanted to change the way your school uses their resources? Do you see teacher constantly wasting resources? Is there any way you would like to change to better our environment?
One problem that I have identified in this school is the laptops. Why use the books when we could use the online version? I mean we don’t use them enough in the school and we got books to carry around all the time. It is just a pain in the butt to carry something around all day and not use it. A solution to this problem would be that we could use the online version of the books. If the school were to do this it would save on trees and it would cut down on the trash we use. It would also help out on the number of things we would have to carry. Another good thing that would come from this would be that less people would be late to class because they wouldn’t have to stop at their locker. Another problem would be if teachers are not in the room when they need to turn off the lights. This would save a lot of electricity. It would also reduce the amount of money the school would have to pay on bills. I found that other schools like Jeff Tech has a worm-composting program. What they do is feed these worms paper and left of scraps from the cafeteria and the worms make worm wonder. Worm wonder is a good fertilizer that helps plants grow. Along with this worm and its wonder other schools like Jeff Tech has its own garden. I think if Punxsutawney had these things we would save a lot of our resources.

=__PLANTS Saffron__= Saffron is a spice obtained from the stigmas of the flower of __Crocus sativus Linnaeus__, commonly known as Rose of Saffron. __ Crocus sativus Linnaeus __ belongs to the family of Iridaceae and it is characterized for having a purple flower with red stigmas and yellow stamens. The flower of __Crocus sativus Linnaeus__ is sterile, because it is an hybrid that has been maintained for centuries because of the value of its stigmas. The reproduction of this plant is done with bulbs. Each flower of __Crocus sativus Linnaeus__ has three stigmas of saffron, also called filaments, which are joined by the style. The stigmas are of trumpet shape, they are bright red gradually changing to yellow in the style. Although the origins of saffron are confusing, we can almost confirm that it comes from Orient, because its cultivation was widely spread in Minor Asia far before the birth of Christ. One of the first historic references to the use of saffron comes from Ancient Egypt, where it was used by Cleopatra and other Pharaons as an aromatic and seductive essence, and to make ablutions in temples and sacred places. Saffron was also highly appreciated in the Classic Greece for its coloring and aromatic properties. It was used as a remedy to sleeplessness and to reduce hangovers caused by wine. It was also used to perfume bathing and as an aphrodisiac.
