Today my partner Diana and I presented what we discovered on the energy usage and transportation methods of Walgreens. Unfortunately, Mr.Wold was not able to attend the our speech but luckily a substitute was there to take his spot. I was a bit nervouse as I began to speak but started to relax once I really jumped into my energy topic. Overall, I think we did fairly well and hopefully we got our point across to the class clearly.

Last week Mr.Wold assigned the class a Go Green Project. Our task is to do research on a local business to find out how much energy and transportation is used in that business. Our goal as a class is to discover better ways to help the environment we live in. Today me and my partner, Diana Sotelo have begun discussing our project and have split the tasks. I will be documenting on energy and Diana on transportation. We have chosen Walgreens as our business to do research on and plan to contact a Walgreens member some time this week.

Carbon Footprints
Our Country emits about 20% of the worlds carbon footprints each year. Sadly this is not an exact percentage because it increases each year. We as a nation can help decrease the amount of carbon footprints by making some changes to our daily lives. For one, we can start buying locally and organic that way the food is Eco-friendly and local instead of shipped from somewhere else. One thing to consider is riding a bike instead of a car to work, school, etc. If your only going a short distance why pollute the air if you don't need to. A huge step we could take is start unplugging any electronics that are not in use because even though the object is not turned on electricity is still running through the current. Start air drying clothes instead of using a dryer for only one item. For those who constantly buy batteries for toys, i pods, and any other electronics, buy rechargeable batteries it will defiantly help reduce carbon footprint. Also, we can start using reusable bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. Take a shower instead of a bath because a shower uses less energy than a bath does. WE can also stop printing newspaper and start reqading them online because we destroy about 43 trees to make a liftime of newspapers in the U.S. These are only a few of many ways to help reduce carbon footprints. Just remember the three "R's" Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
