Each person per day produces about 4.4 pounds of waste. The majority of this waste is thrown away in the trashcan, which is set at the curb to be picked up by a diesel truck polluting the air and using energy, only to end up in a landfill. With the increase in needs of food and other items, more and more trash will result. Recycling is the best way to fix this problem and keep 95% of trash out of landfills. It is projected that Americans will throw away over 11 million tons of glass bottles…

to be able to use this resource. Areas that lack a steady supply of water can also obtain and save water through many methods. For example, in Jaipur, India, villagers use the method of rainwater-harvesting, and in New Mexico, farmers use the drip irrigation system. In these ways, people can secure water even when it is not fully accessible and available. As you can see, there are many ways that people worldwide can conserve water and enable others who lack the resource to gain access to…

It really started on the day of the Pumpkin Festival; the day Perry Fiddler first came to my attention. It would have been an uneventful contest with Marcy, Wilber, and I, Otis Burrow, doing the judging honors for the annual festival. We had all bases covered; Marcy Winks was president of the Blushing Blooms garden club, Wilber Shuttle the State-U agricultural expert, and I, of course, owner of the Burrow Hardware and Feed. Everything was under control, that is until Wilber showed up with his…

However, agriculture contributes to 3.3%…

Apartment rent in a decent 1 or 2 berooms in a good neighborhood costs fortune, there are tons of nice but expensive restaurants and all the nice small and unique boutiques sell three digits and four digits shoes and dresses.

– this behavior is present in materials such as oobleck, pudding, or sand (although sand isn't strictly a fluid). Alternatively, stirring a non-Newtonian fluid can cause the viscosity to decrease, so the fluid gets "thinner" (this is present in non-drip paints). There are many types of non-Newtonian fluids, as they are defined to be something that fails to obey a specific (particular) property i.e., most fluids with long molecular chains can react in a non-Newtonian way. The constant of…
