conditioning unit which are directly wired into your home's electricity system. The surge protector at the mains panel works the same as the portable one you buy at the store in that it stops the power surges before they enter the home. The more you control these voltage spikes, the longer your electrical appliances will last, so make sure you book an electrician well before the summer storms…
Hi Professor Bradley, I invite you to take a look at the resources I have posted on the discussion page. There's certainly a great deal that I would like to say, but as you requested in our conversation last week I will do my best not to dominate the conversation. I want to introduce the concept of "paradigms" and explore how ideological/rhetorical frames can influence our attitudes perceptions and behaviors. I will draw the tri-polar "spectrum of environmental ideologies;" Ecocentrism -----…

It was a normal day- well, as normal as one in a zombie apocalypse could be. Maybe it was something in the air, but Carl knew this was an important day. He couldn't place his finger on it, but something was definitely up. It was like one of those days where you knew something important was going to happen. Good or bad, shit would be going down. Following his gut's instincts had kept him alive so far, so he'd be on his toes today for sure. The refreshing breeze carried the scent of leaves and…
to gather with my friends. There were four of us. We decided to play in the woods. After about an hour of playing around it was starting to get cold, so we started a small fire to keep warm. A huge gust of wind caught the fire and it got out of control. It spread all the way to the neighbors’ barn and burnt it down. We did all we could to keep it from spreading but it was too big to fight. My friends and I freaked out and ran out of the woods only to be caught by the neighbors. “What do think…
There was a knock on the door. Again. It was the fifth time that week that one of those people who claimed they wanted to “help them recover” had knocked on the Voltas’ door. They were utterly relentless. “We don’t want your charity,” Hope called out for the fifth time that week, finding herself annoyed once more. She didn’t even bother with checking who it was. It was always either one of those charity people or the Tartines (although they usually said who they were and, depending on who it…

He walks out the front door and sees her, looking up at the sky and standing in the middle the road, with the rain pouring down over her. Her wet hair hugs her body like a long lost friend, the ice-cold crystal droplets clinging to her frosty skin and dampening her clothes, as she stares above. Its hard for him to tell why she ran out and it is even more difficult to discern between her tears and the rain on her face. "Melinda what are you doing?" He yells out to her as lightning lights up the…

After a scorching hot summer, one would only hope for some cloudy weather and a bit of rain. But when you're visiting the wettest places on Earth, the sun really doesn't seem all that bad. Even places like Africa, known for its incredible heat, can become drenched in water during certain periods of the year.Hawaii certainly seems like a destination that is often associated with warm weather, but things can get pretty cold and wet here. The Maui islands are the second largest islands in all of…
