1. Choose toilet paper made from 100% recycled fibers. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, if every household in the U.S. replaced one roll of virgin fiber toilet paper with 100% recycled ones, we'd save 423,900 trees.

2. Wash only full loads in the laundry machine and dishwasher.

3. kip the dryer and hang your clothes on a clothesline or drying rack to save both energy and wear and tear on fabrics.

4. If it's sunny outside, be sure to open your blinds to get the full benefit of the most energy-efficient source of light.

5. Shop at and donate goods to Salvation Army and Goodwill thrift stores, or through online sites such as eBay, craigslist, and freecycle. Buying pre-owned merchandise saves resources.

If I were new to the city and I read the article "Septa: Man's death not dispatcher's fault", I wouldn't think any negative thoughts about Philadelphia because I believe that it wasn't the driver's fault. The article states that the man died from drug intoxication and heart disease so therefore, it couldn't have been he driver's fault. Also, the article said that Leonard Sedden merely appeared to be asleep and that there was no evidence at the time that he needed urgent care.

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." - Anne Frank

I picked this quote because it's the one that spoke to me the most. I was surprised to learn that this was a quote by Anne Frank. Finding out that it was by her, it made the statement ten times more powerful because it's show that teenagers have minds too! We're mature! We have constructive, inspirational things to say.

1.Who is Langston Hughes writing this poem for?

Langston Hughes was writing this poem for all the people of America. He touched on racism, directed the topic towards white.

2. Why was "America never America" to the poet?

Because everybody wasn't being treated the same . Blacks and whites weren't equal, and blacks were limited to certain things.

How did his personal experience contribute to this poem?

The video that I watched today about Haiti was very sad . It's a shame what happened to them but I feel as though, our country isn't in the right condition to be giving millions of dollars to other countries when we have problems of our own. We're in a recession and there are people still suffering from Hurricane Karina! Sooner or later, we're going to be just as poor as Haiti ...and then what? Don't mean to sound selfish or anything but if the tables were turned, would Haiti have helped us ?

In the first semester, one of the obstacles I faced was procrastinating . Last year, I was more focused on my school work because I didn't have as many problems in my personal life as I have now.

This semester, I plan to be more focused on my school work and put my other priorities after school work. I also plan to focus more on subjects that I have less interest in because that'll make me succeed in that subject (geometry).

I don't like anything about computers . . . they make life much easier !
