School Activities

In School energy is used a lot. Energy is used for various purposes in a school environment. It’s used for computer classes, projectors, and much more. In Murry Bergtraum our school is known for the basketball teams, so we consume energy at basketball games on the score board, shot clock, and the music equipment at half time that is used to entertain the crowd. Energy is also consumed when the kids use outlet sources to charge their electronics, when electronics aren't even allowed in the school building. Energy is consumed every time the bell rings in between classes.
In school energy is consumed by using light for Parents, Teachers, and Students to see when they enter school and when they walk from room to room. You need to see where you’re going at all times. Since a couple of years teachers have been using projectors to teach the class. They use it because it is an easier way to teach the class and the subject. They also use energy for the school athletic department. Whether it’s for basketball, football, baseball, and more sports. They use energy because most of the sports use a shot clock to keep track of the score.

Buy Nothing Day is basically an international day of protest against consumerism observed by social activist. Buy Nothing Day is every year after Thanks Giving in North America. Buy Nothing Day was found by artist ted Dave. The first Buy Nothing Day was organized in Mexico in September 1992 "as a day for society to examine the issue of over-consumption." In 1997, it was moved to the Friday after American Thanksgiving, also called "Black Friday", which is one of the 10 busiest shopping days in the United States. Buy Nothing Day is basically a international day of protest against consumerism observed by social activist. Buy Nothing Day is every year after Thanks Giving in North America.

On Buy Nothing Day it basically self explanatory it’s a day where you challenge yourself, your family and friends to switch off from shopping and tune into life. The rules are simple, for 24 hours you will keep from shopping and anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending! Everybody goes shopping the day after thanksgiving because a lot of malls and outlets with stores in them are going to have a big and nice sweet sale, instead of paying the full original price for the item. It kind of makes stores lose money because a lot of people do Christmas shopping on "Buy Nothing Day", because everything is cheaper in stores. A lot of people don’t follow "Buy Nothing Day" because they like the deals they see. Last year was a mess a lot of people went out and bought stuff. There trying to make more people follow "Buy Nothing Day" this year in 2011.

Everything we buy has an impact on the environment. Buy Nothing Day highlights the environmental and ethical consequences of consumerism. The developed countries only 20% of the world population are consuming over 80% of the earth's natural resources, causing a disproportionate level of environmental damage, and an unfair distribution of wealth.

What Is Climate Change?

      There are many actions that lead to climate change. Most modern day technologies contribute to the change in the weather. Over time, our daily routines slowly kill the earth. With the amont of gas and energy we use, we are killing our Mother land. the problem with climate change is that it alternates the weather and we are weakening our ozone layer. If this keeps up, it can possibly leads to extinction of everything on the face of the earth. We need to reduce our dish out of carbon monoxide and the amounts of emissions we release. We can still save our planet.
