Reusing newspaper, a great idea


In my Oral Communication class the professor asked us to make a Science Fair. I started to think about what I can do to help our planet, so, I asked my aunt, who is a very creative woman, and she explained to me how to reuse newspaper. I thought it was a wonderful idea because we have a lot of it at home. Also, I looked for information in the internet and I found great ideas that I applied immediately. The positive thing is that I reduced the amount of newspapers at home and my classmates asked for some articles and I made money. Very positive for me!! But what it is important with these projects is that I learned how to create beautiful articles that are very useful for us, to reuse materials, and to save the planet.

A killer of the environment


When you see images about the planet, what do you think? Maybe that is beautiful, green, blue, big, maybe that has a lot of beautiful mountains and animals, and there are a lot of people living there, but Have you seen all those parts of the world that are been killing? Well, you can look for information about Oil Exploitation that is one of the most dangerous enemies of our planet. All those industries that extract petroleum do not care about the negative effects of all the waste substances that are throwing to the rivers. Not only they are killing fishes and contaminating the rivers, but they are killing people, too. These companies just care about their economical situation, but they are not concern about the problem. It is very sad to see all those birds and fishes covert with oil because of the spills, and it is very sad to know that we all use all those electronic devices that are contaminating the environment. We are able to change this and we can start at home. Nowadays, there are different techniques that we can use in order to replace all those electronic devices. We just have to look for alternatives that help us to save the planet and stop Oil Exploitation. If we start to use other kinds of energy we can stop this killer.

Nuclear Power, is it a solution for the environment?


Since people started to talk about Global Warming, everybody begins to find solutions about the problem. One of the major problems has been Petroleum because it has been used for all the electronic advances in the world and it has affected the environment. Now, countries like Iran, United States, and Finland have approved the construction of Nuclear Plants. But I wonder if it is the solution of the problem or it is just a way to gain money. An advantage of Nuclear Plants is that it generates a lot of jobs, but as we know a Nuclear Plant is very dangerous. So, what is the solution? It is difficult to say it, but what we have to think is how to help our planet and our future. We as future workers and maybe future presidents and ministers have to realize that we have to find solutions since now and started to work on it.
