Depends...

As I was looking through the websites to see what "dumpster diving" was, I thought to myself isn't that what homeless people do?! What comes to mind are those who pick up cans/bottles and food in the garbage.

Looking through garbage for things that are in a good state and taking it in for our own personal enjoyment. I can understand picking up a piece of furniture that has a few things wrong/damaged. You can always fix it up and polish it. I know my parents have taken in a few things that they thought was in a good shape, most of the furniture they got just had a few roughed up sides, nothing big. A typical American seems to throw out furniture that have nothing wrong with them because they get something newer. It's all about what is "in" and cooler.

This is a piece of furniture my parents got.

They just had a few roughed up sides, very tiny.

The one thing I would not pick up from the garbage would be food. Even if it looks good, I would much rather buy my own food. I wouldn't want anything to happen to me. Furniture is okay because you're not eating it but with food you are.

Take A Moment And Think

I find it so crazy to think that our temperature is rising to an extreme. If everybody stopped for a moment and started to think about what is really going on they would not be as clam. As far as my thinking, I think that the rising of temperature is the most important thing going on. What is going on has a domino effect, if you think about it. The sea levels going up, animals stop from existing, and we as a whole stop existing.

The picture in Al Gore's book about how certain areas of how sea levels will affect our World shocked me a lot. I could not believe that something like that could happen to our World. If something like that happened there would be a lot of lives lot. An article from NASA explained that since 1993 the sea level has been rising "an average of three millimeters (0.1 inch) per year." They also stated that most of the water came from the melting of ice. These glaciers are homes for many animals also. It's a very scary thought.

Imagine being in a State where half of your population is covered with water because of the sea levels.

I think that if people tried their best to save some energy and not waste it, it would help out a lot. We leave our houses with the power on to mostly everything but they are not being used. It's just being wasted and we get charged for it. I also strongly believe that the government should do a lot to make this crisis a lot better.

I heard today in the news that the Mayor of NYC Michael Bloomberg wants all the NYC Taxis to be Hybrid by 2012. I think it's a great idea. There are tons of taxis in NYC and if they are all Eco-friendly, it will help with pollution and everything.

We all need that extra push to make things happen. If the government starts to really notice what is going on and makes it a must to have hybrid cars, the crisis would be a little better. Fixing the form of transportation would do a lot for our society.

We all have a lot that we would like to accomplish in life so we need to make sure we do something to save our World or else...

Take Care Everyone
