=Activity B= 1.The birds are eating the trash and dying. People dumping garbage on an island to get rid of it but they didn't think the birds would eat the garbage. 2.Everything is effected by the garbage because it is bad for drinking water and for animals to eat the garbage because it will kill them. 3.More people need to start recycling and we need to start cleaning up the messes we leave for the animals to live around. 4.

The Ranger is better than the F-150 cause it gets better miles per gallon. The ranger has a smaller engine, a better transmission for driving, and it is smaller and lighter.

=__Oil is more than energy__=

We buy oil from dangerous and unstable countries Climate change from burning oil The US spends 1 billion dollars a day on oversea oil There is a widening gap between importing and exporting Oil reliance from Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan and other foreign countries could have serious serious negative impacts for our national security, economy, and environment.

=__Bearing Grease__= =Essay topics=

1. I think we should write an essay on the heating in the building. We could do where it is lost outside, where it doesn't work, and where in the building it doesn't stop blowing. 2. I think we also should do an essay on the energy in the building. It could tell where the energy is wasted, what is the most waster of energy, and where we could save energy. We could put motion sensor lights in the bathroom. Make sure when no one is in a room they turn the lights off. put solar panels on the roof of the school to save energy. Pepsi has the motion sensor lights in the bathrooms and it saves lots of energy. Other companies have solar panels on there roofs and it saves lots of energy and lowers there electricity bill a lot. 3. i think we should also do an essay on the transportation at the school. It could talk about how to use alternate fuels or finding a way to save fuel.

=Energy essay=

There are many places in the school where energy is wasted and we need to change it save energy. One thing that needs changed is the lights in the restrooms, they need changed to sensory lights so that the lights aren't always on when they aren't in use. Also teachers need to start turning their lights off in their classrooms when they are not in use or you could put sensory lights in the classrooms just like the restrooms. Another thing that could save energy is installing solar panels on the roof, this would save an amazing amount of energy. This is what i think needs changed in this school to save energy.

=Land Stand Survey Result=

I think the national parks should be farmed but the forests should not be disturbed. This will help the the economy cause the crops could be raised by the government to make ethanol. Also the reason the forest are not disturbed is so that the wild life can still live in that region. Another thing is if people farm there own land instead of just having lots of land and not using it they should get a discount on there taxes for not wasting the land.
