SAVE THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


1.  Use broom instead of hose

2. When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.

3. Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for significant water savings.

4. Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.

5. Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

6. Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips.

7. Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.

8. Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable food waste instead and save gallons every time.

9. take bathe together

10. Turn off the water while you wash your hair to save up to 150 gallons a month.

Channel island research

The Channel Islands (Norman: Îles d'la Manche, French: Îles Anglo-Normandes or Îles de la Manche) are an archipelago of British Crown Dependencies in the English Channel, off the French coast of Normandy. They include two separate bailiwicks: the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey. They are considered the remnants of the Duchy of Normandy, and are not part of the United Kingdom. They have a total population of about 168,000 and their respective capitals, Saint Peter Port and Saint Helier, have populations of 16,488 and 28,310. The total area of the islands is 194 km².
The Bailiwicks have been administered separately since the late 13th century; common institutions are the exception rather than the rule. The two Bailiwicks have no common laws, no common elections, and no common representative body (although their politicians consult regularly).a
The Channel Islands fall into two separate self-governing bailiwicks, the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey. Both are British Crown Dependencies, and neither is part of the United Kingdom. They have been part of the Duchy of Normandy since the 10th century and Queen Elizabeth II is often referred to by her traditional and conventional title of Duke of Normandy. However, pursuant to the Treaty of Paris (1259), she governs in her right as The Queen (the "Crown in right of Jersey",[and the "Crown in right of the république of the Bailiwick of Guernsey"),[and not as the Duke. This notwithstanding, it is a matter of local pride for monarchists to treat the situation otherwise: the Loyal Toast at formal dinners is to 'The Queen, our Duke', rather than to 'Her Majesty, The Queen' as in the UK.
A bailiwick is a territory administered by a Bailiff. Although the words derive from a common root ('bail' = 'to give charge of') there is a vast difference between the meaning of the word 'bailiff' (English) and 'Bailiff' (CI). (The former is a court appointed private debt-collector authorised to collect judgment debts, while the latter is the most important citizen within his or her Bailwick.) The Bailiff in each Bailiwick is the civil head, presiding officer of the States, and also head of the judiciary.
In the early part of the twenty-first century, the existence of governmental offices such as the Bailiffs' which incorporate multiple roles straddling the different branches of Government came under increased scrutiny for their apparent contravention of the doctrine of separation of powers—most notably in the Guernsey case of McGonnell -v- United Kingdom (2000) 30 EHRR 289 which following final judgement at the European Court of Human Rights became part of the impetus for much recent constitutional change, particularly the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (2005 c.4) in the UK itself, including the separation of the roles of the Lord Chancellor, the abolition of the House of Lords' judicial role, and its replacement by the UK Supreme Court. The Islands' Bailiffs however, still retain their historic roles.
The systems of government in the Islands date from Norman times, which accounts for the names of the legislatures, the States, derived from the Norman 'États' or 'estates' (i.e. the Crown, the Church, and the people). The States have evolved over the centuries into democratic parliaments.

Each island has its own primary legislature, known as the States of Guernsey and the States of Jersey, with Chief Pleas in Sark and the States of Alderney - the Channel Islands are not represented in the UK Parliament. Laws passed by the States are given Royal Assent by The Queen in Council, to whom the islands' governments are responsible.
The islands are not part of the European Union, but are part of the Customs Territory of the European Community by virtue of Protocol Three to the Treaty on European Union. In September 2010 a Channel Islands Brussels Office was set up jointly by the two Bailiwicks to develop the Channel Islands' influence with the EU, to advise the Channel Islands' governments on European matters, and to promote economic links with the EU.

The government says disagrees about people going to the Channel island. And I disagree with it. They think people like us will pollute and kill the animals that are living there. But there are many ways that government can benefit by opening the Channel Island. For example, money, and socially.  It is true that people polluted and killed animals, but we can block them from doing it in the island by fining them or getting money from them. We also can limit the people who are going in to the island. (100peopel a day) so it’s not hard for the government or the cleaner to take care of the island. Last, Before people enters into the island we can take their bags(plastic bags) or other personal belongings that pollutes the island and keep it until they go out. By doing this people can play with animals and gain experience, also government will earn a lot of money by letting people in. Animals like us and we like them. We are one.

Debate


As we said oil is really important. We need oil for transportations and more. Cars, ships, and airplanes are mostly moving by oil. We need oils to transport food, animals, and many more important things.  And by doing this America will earn a lot of money and their economic will rise. I agree that this will kill the animals and harm people’s shelters but America’s government has money to support animals and people who are living in Alaska.

2013 Reflection


2013 Reflection

 

Overall your performance

Last semester was a bad semester for me. I wasn’t a good environmental student last year. I was really lazy, didn’t concentrate and study for Ms. Cindy’s class. I came to class late several times. This is why I got 66 percent. I was not motivated to work for Ms. Cindy’s class. But during the break my dad and friends motivated me to study by talking about my future .66 percent is a passing score but not a good score. So I’ll try my best and try to get an A this semester.

 

Class rules

-      No soft drinks

-      No gums

NY resolution


I got a D last semester. In order to raise my overall grade I at least need to get an A to get a C. 90+66= 156/2= 78. My goal is to get an A this semester. To tell the truth I used my computer to play games in Ms. Cindy’s class. I think it was not a good decision to play games during class time. So I decided to delete all the games and concentrate in class. I’m sure that by making this decision my grade will go up.

 

Ms. Cindy and environmental (goals)

 

There are 3 resolutions I made. First study and revise every day. As I said, I missed a lot of work and got a low score on quizzes and tests. So I decided to revise every day. It’s going to be hard because my body is not used to study, but I’ll still try and show Ms. Cindy. Second, never come to class late. I came to class late several times and made Ms. Cindy angry. This semester will wake up early. Third, I will not talk to Fred. I talked with Fred a lot last semester and couldn’t concentrate in class. Every time Ms. Cindy talked we talked. So I will shut my mouth.
