In this article there is a group of people called PETA that has been thinking of ways to change things so that there are no more animal testing. for example the medical schools in England have not used animals for testing in over 100 years. but PETA has been thinking of ways that are safer for animals and humans in the ways products are tested. they are even starting to use cell cultures. but the ways we can all help is to read labels and try not to buy any products that have been tested on animals.

there are many ways that you can see what products have been tested on animals or not. but the food and drug administration won't sell any over the counter drugs without them being tested on animals. there have been many improvements that have been made so that there won't have to be that many animal testings. There is a way where you can take human cells and reproduce them and then take those and have the tests on that. it doesn't hurt anyone and it makes the same tests. and it may even be More effective since its being tested on humans instead of the animals. then animals are not the ones using the product being tested.

RAFT: show don't tell

When you get to my favorite place you walk up the side walk that is somewhat cracked and has old leaves that have blown off the trees on it. There are cactuses of all shapes and sizes up the side walk. you get to a black metal gate that is somewhat rusted and it scratches the ground when you pull it open. The ground is a little rusty from that. then you get onto a deck that has red bricks on the ground that are all bumped up from tree truncks from the tree in the middle of the deck. there is a screen door that has a weird kind of knob that you have to turn weird to get in. the house from the outside looks like a white/cream color and has a red roof. The house is in a condo like structure and has some more buildings connected to it as well. This place is really nice and has warm weather all the time. It is right by the mountains and has a great view of them. there is alot of grass in the front of the house with a shuffel board court in the front. and there is a pool down the street that belongs to the house.

RAFT: spring break

Spring Break started on Friday. We had finals on wed and Thurs. but i had to wait until Monday to leave for vacation. i went to Orlando Florida with my friend Caitlin. we stayed in Kissimee. it is about 10min from Orlando. we were in a nice condo. when we were there we went to Universal Studios for 2 days. Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday was Caitlin's birthday. but we didn't celebrate it until the next day. we went out to eat at Fridays. Caitlin's step dad said that it was her birthday to them and she had to stand on the table while everyone sung happy birthday to her. it was really funny because then the fire alarms went off. but it was OK someone hit it on the way out of the restaurant. that day it was raining too, but for them when it rains it only rains for about like 10-15Min's. then Friday we just stayed in the condo and packed and watched TV. we went to the airport at 6:30 and returned the car to the car rental, checked our bags, then we ate at the food court. we had pizza and krispy kreams lol. after that we went in security and got done with that. we had an hour before the plane was going to come. but it turns out it was going to be another hour because the plane was held up somewhere in Mexico. but we ended up landing at home at about 12 and we ended up getting home at 1:30. i slept when i was on the plane so when i got home all i did was watch some movies because everyone else was sleeping lol. but i would have wanted to go to my house in Arizona. i like it down there.

problem solution essay OUTLINE

attention-getter:

There are many different things that are wrong and need to be fixed. but there is one major one that needs to be fixed. Global Warming. Global Warming is caused mostly by pollution. but the effects of it are very great. there is the heat increase, the ice caps melting, animals that are being killed because of this. and the weather changes very much with how many storms there are and how heavy the storms get.

Body:

paragraph 1:

Pollution is a major cause of Global Warming. It has been increased a lot since most house holds have cars. The cars let off the fuel and put that into the air. Which then goes and makes holes in the ozone layer. The ozone is the layer of the earth and keeps the unwanted rays of the sun out. Without this the earth’s heat will increase.

Paragraph 2:

There has been about a 1 degree heat increase on the Earth. This may not seem like much but it is. It makes it hotter all over. If you look at Minnesota it used to snow and be colder than it is now. Yes we do still get snow and very cold days. But the temperature could go from about -15 one day to 40 the next. That just isn’t normal.

Paragraph 3:

With this heat the polar ice caps will be melting. If they melt the animals that live on them would have no place to stay on and it have been proven that many polar bears have been drowning because they could not find a place to stay on. And the food that the animals eat would try to move to a colder place, or dying because it is too warm for them too.

Paragraph 4:

There have been many more major storms around. If you look at all the hurricanes and earthquakes and how much more intense they have been. It is all somewhat caused by the same thing. Global Warming. There is also all of those typhoons and title waves. But there were also some major tornados around St.Louis. There really have not been any around there this intense in a long time.

Conclusion:

There is many things cause by Global Warming and that are causing it. We should do anything we can to try and fix this now. Its not just going to go away on its own. If we don’t try and fix it now many animals will be extinct and the ice caps will melt and raise the level of the oceans and many major cities will be covered in water. Also there will be more storms that may be worse than they have ever been before. We need to do something to fix this. You can’t just stand back and watch till someone else try’s to do something.

DAY 5- Global Warming as an Alarmist

Alarmist...

There are many problems in the World with global warming and things like that. global warming is effecting the temperature of the earth that is helping the ice caps melt. if they were to melt that would be really bad for the planet. the ocean levels would increase by a lot and it would cover some of the land and putting some major cities under water. Global warming is an effect of something called green house gasses. they are cause by everyday pollution. it is causing there to be a hole in the ozone which helps keep some of the suns rays away. so that's why its getting so much warmer. once that happens like i said the ice caps will melt. not only to cover parts of the earth and put it under water it would also cause the extinction of many animals that live on the ice. polar bears already have seen a decrease in the amount of them. we need to start doing something now to help this so it doesn't get any worse.

DAY 3: tartan problem

problem...

The problem is that Tartan doesn't really have the heat on when they need to. It is always cold in most of the rooms. And we need our heat.

evidence...

it is usually cold in the classes and sometimes it is so cold that we get goose bumps and it is around 60 degrees in the class. some classes have thermometers

contributing factors...

the contributing factors is the weather and how cold it has been. if we need to be in school we should at least have some heat. people need to wear their jackets, but sometimes we really cant because it is against the school dress code.

solution...

the solution would be that we can turn the heat on. simple as that. but i do know that our school is trying to save all this energy. but instead of using less heat they should use less lights. they can turn off a lot of the lights when people are in class and not in the halls.
