States. Other countries like China is one of the largest coal burning counties. To reduce global warming, we would have to reduce transportation by taking less frequent trips on: airplanes, trains, cars, ships and trucks. We need to drive less and carpool because it would be more efficient to take 4 people in one car rather than taking 4 cars with a person in each so we don't quadruple the rate of gases going into the atmosphere. As generations gone by, people tend not to walk or ride a bicycle…

Depend on nature, if people back then lived without electricity, can't we live without electricity? Yes. We can. We…
Back to School? One Mom's Journey to an Educational Decision I turned 42 this year. While my age may imply I may have the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, I sure don’t feel like I know everything. Not even close. In fact when I think 42, I think about that movie, you know the one, about Jackie Robinson. Forgive me, I have baseball on the brain. That’s part of the problem. I’m a Mom, even worse, a baseball Mom. My son, who is still in high school, plays…
5, 1955, to December 20, 1956. African Americans refused to ride city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, in attempt to reduce racial segregation and inequality for blacks in the South. As alternatives to riding buses, boycotters organized a system of carpools; some people got around cycling, walking, riding mules, hitchhiking or driving horse-drawn buggies. Additionally, black taxi drivers charged ten cents per ride, a fare equal to the cost to ride the bus, in support of the boycott. As a result of…

Additionally, I could use vehicles that are more efficient regarding fuel economy than the ones that I currently use most often. Another positive…
meeting or casual discussion with some friends or associates that you trust. When you all brainstorm together, you might devise creative solutions that benefit everyone. Parents might want to trade babysitting services. Those with a long commute could carpool. You might even form an investment club to make the most of your money. 11.

Imagine a future where a growing population experiences shortages of food and water as well as growing temperatures. These gradually increasing temperatures bring with them such dire environmental consequences that not only are many different species threatened with extinction, civilization finds itself threatened as well. Though this sounds like the setup for a science fiction movie, this is actually just one of the possibilities for the future due to the long term effects of global warming.…
four of the vehicles I drove to Charter were found vandalized on a daily basis on Charter property once getting out of work. Hoses were cut, fluids were changed, ball joints were loosed, wheels caved in, and the car needed to be towed. I had to carpool with James Boudreaux on Saturdays. SEE EXHIBIT “Y” Email to James Boudreaux talking about car problems. Every car I drove to work was vandalized, and are still not working to this day, except for my sister’s car, which I was borrowing for the…
“Do you believe in miracles?” Al Michaels asked America as the last seconds trickled away in the Soviet-American Olympic hockey game. The Soviet Union hockey team had dominated the hockey world consistently for the past decade, this era of Soviet superiority came to an end as the underdog American team routed the Soviets four to three, moving to the next round of competition with a chance to win the gold medal in the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. The game symbolized…
Moving schools was a scary thing for me. I had a bunch of friend and was finally okay with what was happening, but out of the blue we moved to a new school, with new people, and new teachers. On the day we had to get me ready for the school. I woke up late due to not being used to schedule. “Ugh” I grunted. I stubbled down stairs where I grabbed my breakfast. Starting at the soggy mess that was supposed to be cereal I complained ”Do I really have too eat this mess?” My dad gave me the look…
