Yesterday we were being asigned are 30 day project were we have to give something up for a month. I wanted to challenge myself my choosing something hard so I picked being a vegetarian for a month it shouldnt be to hard because i did for about 20 days before but i gave up. but now i think i can do it. the type of vegetarian i will probally be is a no meat only. that won will be the easiest because if im the one that doesnt eat anything thats from an animal even though it doesnt involve in killing the animal they dont eat it. Take milk and chees for example that means i wouldnt be able to have pizza or mac and cheese i have those each once a week so thats why im only not eating meat. I think this will challnge me. it will probally even be good for me. i might go a little crazy after 20 days but thats just me because i love the mexican food i usually get it at my school so there wont be many chocies at lunch thats no meat. i think if i go through the whole month i will loose some weight. Even though i'm pretty light already. The funniest 30 day giving something up is someone who giving up talking he will be a mute. I told him good luck and i doubt he will succeed.

One of the simplest ways you can have a direct impact on global warming and the environment is to help create more renewable energy sources. In the United States, we have an abundance of green power from wind, sun, hydro, geothermal, tidal, and some forms of biomass. Other ways is using a solar panel to power most of your house. When you go to the store dont buy those cheap light bulbs that dont last verry long get the eco-friendly light bulbs which will help you save money and help put the world one step closer to saving are energy. Today some cities electricity comes from a wind field. Wind fields are a group of massive fans powered by earth winds. Not everyone knows what geothermal energy is well this is what it is. The term geothermal comes from the Greek geo, meaning earth, and therine, meaning heat, thus geothermal energy is energy derived from the natural heat of the earth. The earth’s temperature varies widely, and geothermal energy is usable for a wide range of temperatures from room temperature to well over 300°F. For commercial use, a geothermal reservoir capable of providing hydrothermal (hot water and steam) resources is necessary.

In english class this week we are starting are energy unit and we got are new book CHEW ON THIS. It is about fast food and there resturants and what the fast food can do to u and how there food is made. On friday we watched SUPER SIZE ME which i thought was a strange and nasty movie it was about a man who decided to go on a 1 month diet of only eating McDonalds. I guess it was for science well any way doctors told him that it was ridiculos and it was dangering his health. He still ingnored the doctors and decided to finish what he started. If the cashier ask to super size it then he had to. In the movie he talks to people asking how much Micky D's they eat. He also meets a man who eats 2 or 3 BIG Macs a day and had eatin more then 3000 in his life. the guy who experemented by eating McDonalds for a month gain 24 pounds in one month. Over all i thought that movie was wrong and it was wrong for that guy to be endangering his life even though it was for a goood reason. In the book CHEW ON THIS I read 128 pages and learned so much about how the fast food business started of and how they make and get there food. I leared about fries getting shot out of a fry gun and how they clean the potatoes. what shocked me about those strawberry shakes is that one ingredient artifical flavors had about 20 to 30 words i could not and i mean not prononce them and i just know that cant be could and it also had a strange ingredient in there it was 10% solution of alcohol it made me sick. so thats so far what i learned about my book and from what i heared it only get more discusting and unhealthy.

In june of 2009 the world health organization declared swine flu was a world wide pamdemic. It said that mexico was the first to get swine flu and it spread to many countries from there. The disease came from pigs were then farmers could have got it and it would spread from there. As much as people think you can't get swine flu from eating pork. people can get it from other people who have the disease by not washing your hands or someone cough into the air we breath we can get like that. Some of the symptoms for swine flu are cough soar throat fever over 100.4 head ache chills diaria and even vometing are all symptoms. most people who get swine flu will recover without medical help. however if it is bad enough doctors can give you drugs and infacuations for the disease. so just stay clean if you don't want the disease.
