Hey!

== =Uses of the Allegheny Forest= The Allegheny Forest located on the heart of Pennsylvania oil and gas region. The forest was mostly made of Eastern Hemlock and American Beech. European Settlers reached the area of forest Located in the northwestern of Pennsylvania Deer and their predators was eliminated to overhunting Allegheny National Forest was establish in 1923 The recreation of the ANF focuses in activities like fishing and hunting. The forest has campgrounds, boat launches, beaches, picnic areas, and hiking trails today The forest improved a lot of things like electricity, hot showers, and baby changing stations their are trails for cross county skiing.

Recreation in the forest
Total Population 1.snow/ice based activites 16-34 old are likly to be in these activities, Downhill Skiing, Snowmobiling, and Cross country skiing. 2.Nature-Based are top 3 what most people do are Day Hiking, visit wilderness in a primitive area, and visit a farm. The most surprisings are camping, biking, and backpacking. 3.The three most top for Water-Based Activites are Swimming in a outdoor pool, swimming in lakes, and visiting a beach. I though surfing would be interesting to people, but in was the not interest one. water skiing. 4.Whites males for the Nature-Based top 3.

=Water shortages:=

1. conserve rain-fed moisture and irrigate farmlands. 2. upgrading and improving the management of the water facilities 3.water restrictions

=Topographic map= 1. Why would it be important to know the drainage basin of a certain creek, stream, and river? It would be important because to find all the little streams surrounded by Cloe lake on the map, how Cloe lake started to become a lake and then it is now. 2. What are some of the buildings and living spaces found in and around the watershed? trees, plants, farms, businesses, and houses.

2. Discuss in your group the various places you chose. What common pollutants/industries/problems exist among the area? You may need to discuss them as rural vs. city issues The common problems are sewerage systems and electric services are the main ones of mine. All the other ones are just industries/problems are mainly in the countries.

3. Are these pollutants or problems point source or non-point source pollution problems? The problems are really not that bad, but they should be checked on a basic to make the problems go away, and they do not have to worry about little things like sewerage systems problems for like two years. These are Non-point source pollution problems because everything in the world has problems and they can be fixed in the countries.



=Climate Change=


 * how many states are affected by global warming?
 * http://www.fightglobalwarming.com/page.cfm?tagID=1299
 * New York is affected to global warming from higher sea levels, dangerous storms, having to must heat is getting bad, for everyone's health


 * ====Is El Nino related to global warming?====
 * http://www.pbs.org/wnet/savageseas/weather-side-elnino.html
 * well El nino was like to be in the 1990's, because el nino was unusually rise in sea-surface temperatures in the pacific ocean. the global temperatures increases in el ninos.
 * In 1978 their was seven el ninos, that go back in 120 years.
 * The ocean currents and weather systems would not be affected to the heat pumped that was in the tropical seas.
 * El nino affects the wind and rainfall patterns.


 * Is the climate becoming more variable or extreme?
 * http://www.nature.org/initiatives/climatechange/
 * http://www.ecn.ac.uk/Education/factors_affecting_climate.htm
 * http://www.kids.britannica.com/comptons/article-196162/Alberta


 * climate change is already affecting the world and people lives.
 * climate is affecting more mountains
 * monutains has more rainfall because the temperature is lower on the top of the mountains then at sea level.
 * For most reasons I think that the climate is affecting the whole world, variable and extreme because some climates are very high risked and then others are very low risked for a example Alberta, thats has cold winters and warm summers. The mountains descend the cold but maybe blow to affect something else.


 * How many years down the ice log book go back for the climate history?

=__Individual Activity__=

2008 Camaro Length: 186.2 in. 1969 roadrunner Length: 202.7 in The roadrunner is bigger in length because it's a more powerful car.

2008 Camaro width: 79.6 in 1969 roadrunner width: 76.6 in The Camaro is bigger in width, and it's a lot shorter in length, Camaro's are not a big car when you buy them at the Car sales places.

2008 Camaro height: 53 in 1969 roadrunner height: 53.1 in The roadrunner is just a inch taller than the Camaro, so this is probably not a different, because it's about the same.

2008 Camaro weight: 3860 lbs. 1969 roadrunner weight: 3940 lbs The roadrunner is bigger than the Camaro because the roadrunner is a older car, that was back in the 1969, and you do not how they use to build cars back then. The roadrunner has more energy than the Camaro, so the roadrunner will get around a lot better.

2008 Camaro Engine: 6.0-L V8 1969 roadrunner Engine: 383 cu in (6.3L) V8 The roadrunner has the biggest engine towards the camaro, I though that the Camaro would have the biggest size engine because it's a newest car, from the 2000's, and i though it would of been better build.

2008 Camaro Top speed: 155 mph 1969 roadrunner Top speed:113- 150 mph The Camaro affected the speed because it only had 1 type of engine, and Camaro had like 3 types of engines, plus one had a hemi in it, so the roadrunner could go all different kind of speeds.

08 Camaro Transmission: 6 speed manual T56 1969 roadrunner transmission: automatics/4 speed This would affected the cars by, shifting to the speeds in the manual transmissions, the automatics are easier plus their is no shifting involves that will affected the car.

Camaro's gets 26 mile per gallon on the highway roadrunner's gets 15 mile per gallon onthe highway They are both ran on regular gas, well premium gas

Which features are more fuel efficient? The engine will affected the fuel efficient because all cars run differently from the years, 1969 to 2008. Every Car is different, even the engine they are both V8, but one is 6.0L and the other is 6.3L. The weight will affected it because of how heavy the one is compared to the other one, the weight that is biggest would probably use more fuel than the other, it all comes down to mile per gallon how much gas is being used, so this will make a different. = **2008 Camaro** =

Which are least fuel efficient? height, width, and length because though are really not affected by the fuel efficient by just getting the height, it just tells you how high the car is and how it looks and made

=oil is more than energy=

How is oil production/distribution as well as political and economic issues related? oil companies are also the main sourceof finding the API's front group, energy citizens. that makes false claims of climate change legislation will be a national energy tax and job killer. It passing cleaning- energy and pollution reduction legislation will be affordable and even same consumers money while creating a net of 1.7 million jobs.

Write 5 statements that are concerns expressed in this article. 1.) The United States imported 4 million barrels of oil a day or 1.5 million barrels total for the dangerous or unstable countries in 2008 at the cost of about $150 billion 2.) United States consumed 23% of the world's is petroleum, 57% of which was imported 3.) Military and intelligencce experts alike recognize the global warning poses serious environmental, social, political, and military risks that we must address in the interest or our own defense. 4.) 2008, Chevron made a profit of $23.9 billion while nearly half of its imports 138 million barrels of oil came from these countries 5.)The United States has an opportunity right now to reduce its dependence on foreign oil by adopting clean-energy and global warming pollution reduction policies that would spur economic recovery and long term sustainable growth.

What do you think? I think that oil helps in a million ways, it helped animals, plants, environment before the dinosaurs. Energy helped by heat and pressure making crude oil, mixing with petroleum. Crude oil is actually a fossil fuel that made naturally from plants and animals from decaying living in the ancient. They contain hydrocarbons that has structures and lengths for branching off from chains to rings. Energy meets up with hydrocarbons and derived the crude oil like gasoline, diesel fuel, paraffin wax.

=Essay Topics= 1.disadvantages and advantages use of windows that are open and close during the day 2. changing the lights to less energy efficient (sensor lights, motion lights, in hallways, and parking alots) 3. making the school week 4 days, and having a 3 day weekend.

http://www.uk-energy-saving.com/energy_efficient_school.html 8% of schools energy costs are down to lighting sensor light switches in bathrooms, classrooms, ect. http://ase.org/content/article/detail/625 If lights switches are in the classrooms, put the light switch where people can easily find them. LED lights reduce energy by 80-90% and last until 100,000 hours the cost for putting solar panels in the school would be a $15,000 plus is only for home, so double for a school or a companies.

http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-green-girl/2010/03/go-green-save-some-green.html saves energy could be not using paper towels in restrooms, they are clogging our landfills, some people are spending more that $174.00 or more on paper towels, you should be using cloth rags.

http://www.eereblogs.energy.gov/energyempowers/post/Idaho-schools-saving-energy-educating-students.aspx Idaho Schools saves energy The school lower energy bills that have also eased pressure during the economic downturn Idaho's office energy resources will spend $17.6 million in stimulus funds to make schools more energy efficient. 703 school building were considering the school efficiency Homedale's school district upgrades with savings classroom supplies and textbooks the estimated $13,750. $16,000 in the last two years.

http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-testing/reviews-tests/green-products/lower-light-bill-save sensors lights cost $15.00 for hanging in the hallways, stairways outdoors sensors lights are $16.00 to put in the parking a lot of the school $45.00 a kit with a separate sensor

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/education/2004015249_greenschools15e.html Redmond High School's saved about 7,500 on electric 2 1/2 the Redmond high school tallied $550.00 on recycling more, watering less, reducing waste and generally using less energy

I think our school could get sensor lights in classrooms, restrooms, hallways, gyms to save money. This would help the school with money, so they wont be spending it all on electricity. If we could get sensor lights and save money, the school could afford what they want to buy. Sensor lights are about $15.00-$40.00. if the school puts sensors light in every classroom, restroom, some of the gyms, hallways, and would be saving more money than now. 150 sensor lights cost roughly around $3,000, they are not cheap buying them, but when you install them and use them, it will be a lot better for the school.

=Lighting problems at the High School= The problem that I see in our High School is having the lights on in classroom, restrooms, and gyms. What I am telling you about is all the energy we waste by leaving the lights on. I feel our school could buy sensor lights in classrooms, restrooms, hallways, gyms to save money. This would help the school save on energy cost. Sensor lights are about $15.00-$40.00. If the school puts sensors light in every classroom, restroom, gyms, hallways, this would be a great savings. In our school energy audit I found several hundreds lights on here at the high school.The sensor lights cost would be around $3,000. We would have a 20% reduction on the energy bill. This information was found on our energy audit page. Several teachers had their lights on during the day without turning them off. Roughly about 50% of the rooms had all their lights all during the day.

__Lighting problems at PAHS__

The problem that I see in our High School is having the lights on in classroom, restrooms, and gyms. What I am telling you about is all the energy we waste by leaving the lights on. I feel our school could buy sensor lights in classrooms, restrooms, hallways, gyms to save money. This would help the school save on energy cost. Sensor lights cost between $15.00-$40.00 each. If the school puts sensors light in every classroom, restroom, gyms, hallways, this would be a great savings. In our school energy audit I found several hundreds lights on here at the high school.The sensor lights cost would be around $3,000. Roughly about 50% of the rooms had all their lights all during the day. In Seattle, Oregon I found a school district that is trying this new method of saving energy. Redmond High School's saved about 7,500 on electric. 2 1/2 the Redmond high school tallied $550.00 on recycling more, watering less, reducing waste and generally using less energy. The lower energy costs are amazing because we’re saving energy in a small community that has a high unemployment rate. Idaho’s Office of Energy Resources will spend $17.5 million in stimulus funds to make public schools more energy efficient. The K-12 School Efficiency Project will result in retrofits for all 703 school buildings in Idaho, including improvements such as new heating and cooling systems This is what I think our school should do for the savings of the lights. It would improve our school. The solution would be a 20% reduction on the energy bill.

1. What is the name of your region? Central of Mexico 2. What are the top commodities of the state you are researching?

3. What landforms are part of the state? 4. Central Mexico is an immense, elevated plateau, with the two mountain ranges, Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental. Outside these mountain ranges lie the coastal plains and lowlands, looking out to sea. 5. Describe the climate, population, largest cities, and any other factors that affect those that live or visit there. The weather is humid and very hot during almost all of the year, with seasons being defined as the wet and dry seasons. The wet season is the hottest time of the year that begins in May and continues until October with the rest of the year is drier. It is the most densely populated as some of Mexico’s most important industrial cities are found here. Monterrey and Guadalajara the country’s, Mexico City. 6. What are the top 5 commodities in your region? Are any of these the top 5 commodities nationally? If so, which ones?

7. What unique commodities are found in your region? Why are they unique?

Commodity- physical substance, such as food, grains, and metals, which is interchangeable with another product of the same type and which investors buy or sell.

=__Land Stand Survey Results__=

I think that they should keep State Parks and lands because where are the animals going to go if they get rid of all the forests, and rainforests, woods. Animals need to live has well. Building highways should be talk or discussion over, even they really want to build other highway, they can fix highways, but don't build other one if you really have too. We should spend a little bit of money building railroads because of the trains, if the tracks on broke then the trains can't travel from place to place. They should be certain about railroads for the trains. Agriculture is important to the land, that's what the land is made up of, if we don't have corn, cotton, and wheat. That would destroy the land and the land would be boring to people. I think we shouldn't be able too pay taxes for railroads and highways, if people don't want to, there are a lot of people in the world it should be a option. I think everyone is able to live in their house if it's bad or good. It's their own house they can do whatever they want to do with it, except they are going to pay for in them selves not nobody else.
