Ahhhh its almost FINALS! But here's a study plan :)

From now until finals I will have a study plan for all my classes so that I can pass my finals with a good grade.  Every day before school I will go to my math teacher to meet with my old math teacher so that I can review with him before I have my Geometry final.  During my block 5 opens I will go to the library or go outside if it is nice out and study for Chemistry, and for my block 7 opens I will study for History and English.  Then when I get home I will study for Italian for about 30 minutes each night.  At home I will study Geometry Mondays and Wednesdays for 45 minutes.  Then on Tuesdays I will study Chemistry for 45 minutes.  And on Thursdays I will study History and on Fridays I will study English for 45 minutes.  On  June 2nd I will get together with a study group at one of my friends house and study Geometry.  Then on June 9th I will get together in a study group and study Chemistry.  The things that I will use to study will be quizlet and old review sheets to study for each of my classes.  I will also use test that we took in this semester to study from and take them over again and see how much I can remember and then study the things that I got wrong.  With this plan I have every confidence that I will pass each of my finals.

Onward Online Privacy

There are a lot of people that go online and can easily access information online of others because of the lack of privacy that is online.  So the White House proposed a new bill of rights called "The Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights" which will ensure privacy online, calling on Web companies to minimize their collection of personal data, and help users make better choices on how they reveal their information.  This bill will also make sure that major Web companies will give all internet users a "do not track" button so that the users can block some advertisers from following their movements online.  Even though this could prevent the user from seeing the ads on the websites but I think that it a small price to pay so that you can avoid being tracked.  I feel that this law needs to be passed because I hate getting spam mail and get calls on my cell phone to take a survey.  Also this will give the user peace in mind of not having to worry if they put their email or number online for a social media network or for buying something online.  This law needs to be passed immediately so that we can have better privacy while being online.  It also needs to be run really efficiently to make sure that no one can hack the system and get people's information.  But if that does happen then they should be penalized with consquences because it is wrong to invade other peoples privacy.

Global Warming

In the US there is so much pollution in the air that is caused by the everyday things that we do.  For example one common pollution is driving cars, our cars release a lot of CO2.  In fact they release about 30 percent of carbon dioxide into the earth's air.  But the total of carbon dioxide in our environment is 40 percent, which is the primary heat trapping gas.  Also with the constant changes in the temperature it can cause enormous implications for our health and welfare.  The US Global Change Research Program said that we are more likely to have stronger coastal storm surges and more frequent extreme rainfall event.  There will also be an increase in the flooding, an increase in droughts and more wildfires in some regions.  If we want to prevent this then we need to act together to reduce heat trapping gas emissions by using energy more efficiently.  One way to do this is instead of driving everywhere we can walk to places that are close.  We can also carpool with people to school that live on the same street that we do.  By driving less we can reduce the percent of carbon dioxide in the air.  
There are many agencies out there that are making changes now to help save the planet.  One of them is the Environmental Protection Agency, they are taking action under the Clean Air Act.  This act is to help protect Americans from the harms posed by air pollution. Another agency that is promoting the Clean Air Act is the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.  Their mission statement is "We work together to clean the air we breathe and protect our climate through education, incentives, and enforcement."  They also suggest that people should make cleaner choices by taking the bus and train more, change fireplaces to natural gases or propane, replace the old uncertified wood stoves, use electric yard equipment and also use fuel efficient cars that is better for the planet.
