By using motion censored lights it will eliminate the amount of wasted energy used up by constantly running light bulbs in the restroom facilities. Motion censored lights would be a great Idea for this school because it would be less of a hassle for the person that has to go around and turn the lights on and off too. Motion censored lights would all around turn out for the best. It would let people know when the rest room is in use, witch in return could lower possible ideas of commotion, meaning the rest rooms would be easier to monitor for faculty. Looking for information about other schools trying out motion-censored lights was very difficult. I was un-able to find information because of the amount of web sights trying to sell their stuff.

After reading about how the land is used in the U.S.A, I realized how people are carelessly wasting the land we have on unnecessary items. The U.S.A is wasting land on building factories creating enormous amounts of pollution. While throwing lots of harmful chemicals threw the air, we are killing off the species that are cleaning our air for us. The plant species is very helpful with its ability to clean the carbon dioxide from the air and giving off oxygen. But it is no help to the environments and our bodies to cut away and kill the species that are helping us for timber and ways to make more public areas.
