=Uses of the Allegheny National Forest:= The forest covers about 500,000 acres. Allegheny is known for it's black cherry and maple woods. There is a lot of biodiversity in the forest. Wolves and cougars keep the deer population down to a decent amount. The Allegheny forest also has some natural disturbences such as tornadoes and ice storms. Early settlers were the european settlers. Some of the forest was clear so they could build their log cabins and small mills. Once the Kinzua dam was created it changed the forest recreation. It brought programs for outdoor activities. After time passed the camp got more up to date. The resourt had electricity and hot water. Ronald Regan signed an act to make the forest a Nationl wildlife preservation. Some may disagree with harvesting some timber. But, it helps because it brings sun in and it helps make the seeds grow and once seeds grow there can be more food, trees, and plants. Because of the high paraffin, it is one of the lubricating oils in the world.

=Oil is for more energy= 1. The United states is buying oil from people who aren’t even their friends. 2. We can’t keep relying on the allies that could harm our national security. 3. The united states has a chance to stop relying on the foreign oil. They can adopt clean energy. 4. Adopting clean energy will help reduce global warming. Not adopting a clean energy will make the poor at risks from the climate change. only the rich will be able to survive and adapt. 5. Getting a clean energy will help the united stats to reestablish the economy. I think that this is true. Eventually we’re going to run out of oil. So we need to do something about it now. Adopt the clean energy and reestablish the economy. We need to before it is to late.

=Rough Draft Essay= Sami Dinger Period 3 Mrs. Maine Have you ever considered the students opion on the food that is being served? Are you aware of the waste that is going on? Doesn’t our school agree with recycling and should go the extra mile? Haven’t you heard of the saying "only put food that your going to eat on your plate?" Students don’t eat most the food we’re required to get. At lunchtime your meal is supposed to be a complete meal to be a reasonable price. If you don’t get a milk or vegetable the price goes up. Just because we have to buy it doesn’t mean that we eat it. Most people would rather get a tea than milk. Since we have to include the milk and vegetable we just throw it away. No big deal right? WRONG! A teacher named Marnie Ware found that their school cafeteria creates 1,500 pounds of garbage a day and that’s including breakfast. That means some materials that should be recycled aren't and food is going to a waste. According to the green squad schools create an extremely large amount of waste. This is taking up the landfill when many places are running out of space to put garbage so we should use the space we have to use caution. More garbage is helping global warming come faster. How will this save the school money? We could be saving the school money by not getting food we aren’t going to eat. The school could stop ordering food that kids aren’t eating. The school could also save money on trash bags because then the bags will last longer. We could also eat outside on sunny days and turn off the cafeteria lights and for those who don't want to eat outside can sit in the cafeteria and using only the sunlight. Why switch from plastic to metal? We could save a lot of waste by switching our plastic knives, spoons, and forks to actual silverware. This means less garbage and it is recycling because they can be used over and over again. According to a Environment Agency report in 2001 80% of post consumer plastic waste is sent to landfill when only 7% is recycled. Another option is composting certain materials. This is a crumbly material that looks like soil and breaks down and is healthier for the environment. For students that just don’t like the cafeteria food they can pack their lunch in an insulated reusable lunchbox with a cooler. That is saving from using paper bags. We could stick the lunchbox in our locker until time to eat. For example Hawthorne Elementary School in Elmhurst has already taken action. Once a month they host a waste free lunch day. Their students carry lunch boxes and washable eating utensils. This campaign has lowered the trash weights by 30% to 50% since they started. Some students say that if they all make the commitment it could eliminate 10,000 pounds during the school year. Their school isn’t the only one doing this. Crabapple Middle school has also made a waste free lunch day. In this essay there are many things that can be changed. But will they? We need to take care of our planet. Let's reuse utensils, lunch boxes, turn off the lights, and not waste more food than is needed. The extra food could be feeding the less fortunate.

=land can be used for:= I think certain parts of the land should be used as agriculture only. Other parts should remain forests so animals have a place to live. When they run out of a lace to live they will leave. We eat animals and without them we wont survive. We should not spend anymore of railroads or highways we should focus on the forest and the room we have left that isn’t being taken over. All communities should have a say in what their land is used for. Government should have a certain amount of miles you can drive to work because some people stay where they are for their kids and love their jobs. So I think that would be a dumb idea.
