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.
