=Energy Star Appliances in the Kitchen=

We should stop using so much energy to power in the kitchen at the high school. My suggestion to save energy in the kitchen area of the Punxsy area high school is to reduce electrical use. I would use a SEVEN DAY TIMERS this is where people may not often remember to turn equipment off after hours. If appliance is not required over school holidays turn off seven-day timers at the power point.

All appliance use standby power for an example a microwave uses 4 watts of power. Turn off the breakers over holidays, and when it is not being used. This will save a lot of power and money if we where to do that. In the kitchen there is 37 appliances are being used.

I would also maintain appliances and replace old appliances. Do not block airflow that could keep appliances cooled down. Have student use a wattmeter to study how much electricity a device uses. Clean refrigerator coils regularly to make shore your not using too much power.

This is useful in determining which appliances are outdated and less efficient. Get the entire school involved in this effort to save energy. Energy savings add up when the entire school joins together in conservation efforts. Schools with effective conservation programs have reported reductions of as much as 25% in utility bills. Publicize energy cost and savings. When people know how much it cost to power their school.

In conclusion if you maintain or clean the appliances could save a lot of money. Money that the school could for other things. Such as the schools sports teams. Energy star appliances could save a lot of money. = =

=Food Essay=

Jordan Bullers 5/20/10 Pd.2 My essay is on the problems with sugared Pepsi verses diet Pepsi. Sugar carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The kind of sugar that concerns health experts is added sugar--the sweeteners that are dumped into foods by manufacturers. most people eat way too much of it. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) surveys, 20 percent or more of the daily calories for nearly one-quarter of adult women come from added sugar. Consumption of added sugar rose 30 percent in the last two decades, and at last count, each American gobbled up 64 pounds of it per year. If you eat a healthy diet and meet your nutritional needs on most days, you can still enjoy guilty pleasures like a decadently sweet dessert or an occasional sugary soda. According to the USDA, women who eat 1800 calories a day can indulge in about 8 teaspoons, or 32 grams. Regular pop is potentially cavity causing due to its high sugar content. Diet pops do not contribute to cavities. However, the acid in regular and diet pop has the potential to contribute to enamel breakdown and when combined with sugar can contribute to rampant decay! Battery Acid has 1.0 acid and Pepsi has 2.49 acid. Aspartame is a non caloric sweetener in diet Pepsi. Aspartame is a white, odourless powder, approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar, used in a number of foodstuffs throughout the world. It is marketed under several brand names, including Canderel® and NutraSweet®. Aspartame is stable when dry or frozen but it breaks down and loses its sweetness over time when stored in liquids at temperatures above 30°C. Some concerns have been raised about aspartame and its breakdown products. For example, it has been suggested that aspartame may cause headaches, epilepsy and brain tumors, seizures, and mood disorders. **Splenda can cause skin rashes/flushing, panic-like agitation, dizziness and numbness, diarrhea, muscle aches, headaches, intestinal cramping, bladder issues, and stomach pain. Saccharin causes bladder cancer. Sucrose causes an increase in the following problems cancer, and cardiovascular disease.**
