Global warming has been the biggest topic and controversy throughout the whole world. Efforts have been put into place in trying to control global warming, but it’s still not enough. I believe that there is still a chance in saving the earth that we were given to live and it is important that we take care of the one thing we seriously need in order to live. My opinion is that we can change three things as well as implement them into our daily lives. Those three implementations are solar panels to power our houses, buildings, cars, schools and so on. Second, we can transform our cars to run on electricity. Lastly, we can stop throwing trash on the streets and recycle.

Using solar panel power can be very beneficial to our community and improve how we use energy. Using oil and gas to heat our homes creates a lot of pollution in the air, and continuously using this type of energy has caused the globe to warm up. This causes stronger storms and unhealthy air to be in the atmosphere. Using solar panel energy would also benefit everyone because the oil and gas that is used can be saved for something more important. I strongly believe that most of the pollution caused on earth is by burning gas and oil. This is why I think that changing energy sources can be a good step in the right direction. It would be smarter to use solar panels during the day when the sun shines since it won’t be able to be used at night for the fact that the sun will go down. That is when oil and gas energy can be used. Hopefully, the government realizes the importance of this and make a larger effort to transform our energy to where a bigger percentage of energy production is through solar panels.

There are more than one billion cars that run on a daily basis, and being that they run on gas, they are a big contributor to the air pollution that is affecting our environment. Even though I am a car owner myself I strongly agree that cars should be transformed to run on electricity. There are several ways that this can be done; the government can set up shops around the country that specialize in transforming vehicles into electrically engineered cars. They can give out rewards to anyone that goes through with the process that way people can be motivated in doing so. Some may counterclaim that it would be hard to charge the cars, but I suggest that either the cars grabs its electric energy through solar panels that are put on top of the car. After that at night when the car can no longer use it, they can charge cars at charging station. Even if one doesn’t use a charging station they can always use their home's energy to charge their cars. I think this strategy would greatly reduce the amount of air pollution that is constantly affecting our environment.

Littering is a big issue of concern towards global warming as well. When garbage is thrown onto the streets, the chemicals of the item go into the air after the sun hits it. This also causes the air's pollution level to go up places like landfills and garbage disposals play a part in littering. Even though efforts have been made to change that for example recycling companies and supermarkets that have machines where people can throw their cans in exchange for money. I think that everyone should recycle and use anything they can to reuse it for example plastic cups can be washed and re-used.

In conclusion everyone should make an effort to implement something that is “green” so that we can save our earth that was given to us slowly but surely. It is important that everyone stands up and develops individual task so that everyone will be motivated to do something. I am absolutely positive that if everyone “steps up to the plate” and disregard going the easy way, that our earth will one day be restored and saved.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
