SHOES

Shoes are used in everyday life and does anyone bother to take the time to find out what their shoes are made of? Well after reading the article called Shoes, changed my point of view. Before reading this i never knew that it takes so much rubber to make a pair of shoes, or how much material they put in when making the shoe boxes. I find it very weird and interesting. The article made me think that we use a lot of resources to make our products and i don't think anybody has tried to find a better way to use less rubber to make the shoes or something like that. I hope that you learned from this and can think about how to make a change and in how much work went into making your shoes.

Scientific Method

The Scientific Method is used a lot to determine many things. But mostly it was used to organize theorys and experiments used by scientists and it did help them. The Scientific method is very important becuase if you don't use it, then your experiment could totally mess up. Also the way things could mess up is that your thoughts would be unorganized and nothing would go in order. The experiment would happen before the hypothesis and you would have nothing really to prove. The steps to the method are as follows:

1.) Find something you want to experiment, something with a changer over time.
2.) Develop a hypothesis to think of what will be the end result of the experiment or what will happen if you observe it
3.) Test out your hypothesis and see if you were right.
4.) Do a conclusion of your ending results

Wow there are only four simple steps to that or maybe more but that's ok. Just pretty much that's what every scientist does to make doing experiments easier. I think that a theory is a statement that makes you think about what how the experiment works or how anything works. All in all the Scientific Method can be useful and many should be able to use it in order to organize their thinking and experiments.

Final Exam Answer

Everyday it seems that people tend to feel like they don't make an impact on the world, but really they do without even knowing it. I sometimes think that I would make an impact on the Earth. I try not to liter because it's harmful to every living things. Litering and trash makes me feel that our world is becoming a dump because our carelessness to try to clean up and put a soda can into the trash. But then what happens if it isn't enough. Global warming is approching and despite the warnings most of the country chooses to ignore it.

Makeup is kind of an issue, because there are some products that test on animals. So anytime I go to buy some makeup i read the label to make sure that it wasn't on animals. I am eating a lot of organic foods lately. I heard it is good for many reasons so that's why I choose to eat organic stuff.

In conclusion and just in general I have left some footprints as time has passed. It makes me feel good about myself knowing that I can make a difference in the world.

Whether we like it or not our daily lives make an impact on the world around us. Nicely put we make a difference. I would like you to think about the footprints you leave in one day of your life. You should incorporate as many of the following aspects of the Environmental issues course into your answer.
