Assignment #8

Hey Mr. Bruns there is six people in my family with a total of five cars(one van, one car, and three trucks) with a complete miles per gallon average of 99 m/gal. so I'm not to proud to say that I've contributed more than my share of Carbon Emissions.

I found that our total emissions was 130,305 but if we replaced all our appliances with energy star appliances we could bring that total down to 121,107 pounds.  I thought that our emissions weren't as bad as I thought because just the first total seemed very large and as I did more research it was much larger than many other peoples whole family.

If we replaced every one of our appliances it would take nine thousand pounds of carbon emmissions off our total amount.  We redid our kitchen a few years ago and replaced our refrigerator with an energy star refrigerator.  We also got a energy efficent stove and oven.  But we do recycle paper, plastic, aluminum cans, and cardboard so we help the environment if it isn't a whole lot.

Wow i didn't know just how many times this century that the warming and cooling periods have occured and each period lasted just around 30 years at a time.  The article brought up many interesting pionts over abd about the global warming process and what we could do the minimize its effect. The article also dicussed the many celebraties and foreign government officials that are concerned about the planet. It also talked about the media coverage, which has been dramatic about the warming and cooling periods, and a letter one British government official sent to the media telling them to stop or block the coverage dealing with Global Warming. There is so much we can do to save our planet to stop global warming so do what you can to help.

I found that the game is very challenging to forage and iit is also very hard to keep the janjaweed away from your camp. I believe that this game is very educational and will help a lot of people in the U.S. to see how hard it is for Darfurians every day just to survive. Ibelieve that if more people knew about and played this game the people would help the Darfurians.

Assignment #5

I believe that what they are doing in Greene County, Georgia is better for thier overall goal than it is now because as it said in the article guys do learn differently than girls so seperating the classes would keep the guys more focused and the girls  would answer more question during class time in stead of just not doing the homework assignment. This development would also decrease the dropout and teen pregnacy rates dramatically which is also better for their goal of keeping more students in school. Though this is a good development it may not be nessescary in smaller communities while it would be needed largly in urban areas such as cities and/or suburbs.

Assignment 4

It turns out thati know more than I thought I did becuase when time ran out I had 132 countries left to name. It is very surprising to myself because I missed some of the countries on the Asian map test that I put down. It may not be very knowledgible but to even get that far for myself is very surprising and satisfying.
