=Activity C= They are coping by only giving them a small amount of time they can use the water and making them turn it off. Using the dishwasher instead of hand washing and using the car wash instead of hand washing their cars.

2. Water pollution, Sewage pollution, and city pollution 3. Point Source

=Water Activity B=

1. People are polluting on shore and off boats. It goes into the ocean and harms the animals.

2. The human health is affected because the fish are eating the garbage and we eat the fish and we are getting sick and/or dying. The flying aquatic birds are flying over the ocean and they see the debris thinking its a wounded fish and dying.

3. Organizations are forming such as adopt a stream, clean the bay day, and etc.

4.Correctly diposed the hazardous material, Conserve water, Recycle.

Why are glaciers melting so fast? The glaciers are melting due to Global warming. Glaciers are melting at a high rate. Figures show in 2007, glaciologists at the World Glacier Monitoring Service at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, most of the ice is melting at a rate of .67 meter water equivalent (m w.e.). Some glaciers in the European Alps lost up to 2.5 m w.e.

Is it too late to fix global warming? Dr. James E. Hansen, a climate scientist at NASA, he said It is "almost, but not quite, too late" to start reducing what he calls the "global warming time bomb." he also said, he will offer a plan for emission cuts and also talk about the high risks of further inaction.

=Oil is more than energy=

The U.S. spends around $1 billion overseas everyday. The U.S. needs to kick the oil addiction and invest in a cleaner-energy reform to reduce oil demand. The U.S. buys oil from Algeria, Chad, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. The companies are spending record amounts on lobbying to stop clean-energy and climate legislation. Oil companies are also the main source of funding for API’s front group, Energy Citizens, they make false claims that climate change legislation will be a national energy tax and job killer.

=Products from Petroleum= Surf Boards



=Essay Topics= 1. Why do some of the technology section only have one to two windows in the their rooms? 2. How much money would automatic sensors for lights cost and would save money for the school. 3. Why do some of the classes leave their lights off all day?

=Energy Info= 3. Dear Members of the School Board, The main problem in the school is that most of the teachers leave their lights on when nobody is in the classroom. I think the school board should take out some of the lights in the classroom so there are not as many lights in the room and replace them with skylights and more windows. There are also some teachers that turn their lights off when they are teaching because they don't need the lights on and the windows let in so much light. I suggest that the school should go to motion sensors, skylights, and double pain windows with blinds in the windows so they reflex the light to the ceiling. If we cant do that then we should put energy efficient light bulbs in the rooms an hallways. They should also have some of the classrooms should have some of the lights disable so the teachers will have half of the lights on. In the survey we found that in most of the classrooms and hallways have all the lights. But some teachers have half to none of the lights on which is saving some money for the school. In the Janitor survey they said that the most wasted energy is the lighting. They said when the night janitors come in they have all the lights on and when they are done with one section of the building the lights are still on. Alder Creek Middle School in Truckee, California that has renovated their school with skylights, double pain windows with the blinders in the windows that reflex the light to the white ceiling. It was cost effective and provides a healthy indoor environment for students, teachers, and staff.

[] =**Land Stand Survey Results**= I think the overall land use in the US should not be changed. I think we should not be building more highways because if we do we would be destroying a lot of farm land that we could use to grow crops. If cities keep popping up in West we would be losing a lot of the crops that we grow out there. The cities would also be producing a lot of CO2 in the air which would destroy the crops.
