1) People are polluting on shore and it goes into the ocean and is harming the animals.

=Climate change research=

1) Problems with the polar bears-- Polar bears are known for hunting seals, these bears are good swimmers but are not good at chasing seals under water. But in the past five years temperatures have declined 20% due to the warming temperature. The changes in the ice are making it difficult for the bears to catch the seals and its difficult for these bear to survive. we have found that bears have drown and also starve to death. http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=35524

2) Problems with the arctic ice-- The temperatures in the arctic region are rising twice as fast as the rest of the world. The ice is getting thinner and is melting rapidly, The largest block of ice in the arctic "Ward Hunt Ice Shelf " has been around for 3,000 years and had started to split in 2000. now this huge block of ice is just about melted the whole way through and has started braking into pieces. The polar ice caps are shrinking into nothing, and the permanent ice cover is contracting 9% each decade. If this pattern continues the summers in the arctic will become ice free by next century. http://www.nrdc.org/globalwarming/qthinice.asp

3) Why is global warming happening so fast-- This is being caused by things like cement, electric power, internal combustion engines and furnaces and water heaters which use oil or gas as fuels. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_global_warming_happening

= **Oil is more than energ** = = = 1) The US spent billions of dollars on importing millions of barrels of oil, from unsafe and unstable countries.

2) Most of our imported oils came from Mexico, and Canada.

3) Our reliance on oil from these countries could have serious impact on our national security, our economy, and environment.

4) US is a major contributor to the global demand for oil, the United States is paying to finance and sustain unfriendly regimes.

5) The US oil dependence will also be increasingly harder and more dangerous to satisfy.

1. Energy efficient light bulbs. 2. Better insulation in the school. 3. Turning off all the lights when they are not needed.

=__Info__=

1. Energy efficient light bulbs help save energy by saving $30 over its lifetime and pays for itself in about six months.It lasts 10 times longer and uses 75% less energy than a regular light bulb. www.**energy**star.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls

2. Better insulation in the school will help save energy by stopping drafts and keeping heat in and cold out or the other way around, saving us from having the heat on so much and the air conditioning running all the time. it will cut down on the energy bill.

3.** If we were to shut the lights off in the rooms that are not being used we would save a crazy amount of energy and it would not be running up the electric bill every month. If you shut the lights off when you are not in a room the electric bill would pretty much pay for itself and save you from having to by light bulbs all the time.

=**__essay__**=

A problem we have here at this school is the lights being left on when they are not needed. There are many steps we can take to fix this problem such as making sure the lights are turned off when the room is not in use, buying energy efficient light bulbs so that were not burning up so much electricity, or replacing the light switches with automatic light timers that come on when the door is opened or when someone walks in, then automatically turn off after a certain amount of time. Teachers and students do not always use every room in the school all day long so therefore they are not always in theses rooms, but when they leave the last thing they think of doing is shutting off the lights. If ever students or teacher was to turn out the lights when they leave the room it would make a big downfall in the electricity bill for the high school, and would cut back on having to replace burnt out light bulbs. If we were to make it known that every teacher and student was to shut off lights when leaving a room we would be able to test and see the difference it would make. Energy efficient light bulbs are also a alternative we could try. A lot of people use them to try and lower there electric bill and to save more energy. Using them you save about an average of $30 over its life time and it will pay for its self in about six months. It lasts 10 times longer than a regular light bulb and it uses about 75% less energy than a regular light bulb would. This would make a difference in the whole school if we were to place them in every room. We also have the choice of putting in automatic light switches that will turn on and off using a motion detector. The automatic light switches turn on when doors are opened and they turn off after a certain amount of time, or if the room is no longer in use. Using these switches will help with the lights being on all the time and when they are not in use, they could be placed in the restrooms and closets and certain room in the school and we should see a change in the amount of energy saved and the cut in the electric bill. Making sure the lights are off when rooms are not in use, switching to energy efficient light bulbs, and replacing regular light switches with automatic light switches are all good alternatives to help save energy and cut electric bills.

=Land Stand Survey results Paragraph.= I believe that the focus of the overall land use in the US should be for agriculture. If we don't have any land set aside for our cattle or other animals that we raise to eat, the animals will not gain any weight or build any body mass so that they will be lean enough to get good meat. And if we have no land for them were are we going to put them? They need room to live in and they cant be cooped up in a barn all there life. Therefore i think one of our main focuses should be our agriculture and the land we need for it.
