Whenever you save energy, you not only save money, you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal, oil, and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary contributor to global warming, and other pollutants.
You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers have a real choice and the power to change their energy use on a revolutionary scale.

-Practical things I can do!

-Turn your refrigerator down.
-Set your clothes washer to the warm or cold water setting, not hot.
-Turn off the TV
-If you need to warm up or defrost small amounts of food, use a microwave instead of the stove
to save energy.
-Use less hot water by installing low-flow shower heads.

Sustainability is broadly defined as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The term "sustainability", when applied institutionally within a university, is essentially the development of a process or management system that helps to create a vibrant campus economy and high quality of life while respecting the need to sustain natural resources and protect the environment. Sustainable programs are those that result from an institution's commitment to environmental, social and economic health, or the "triple bottom line". Sustainability has both individual and institutional applicability, and is usually a balancing act.

I have never heard that word. However, after I searched the mean I could know that.

These days, some solutions are in our society to support ecosystems.

Sustainabilty is: improving the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting eco-systems.

My current habit is Kinesthetic.
when I memorize something, I used the another word to memorize.
However, I also used to writing and reading.
I will try to study using the book and reading more than before.

Reflection :)

This time, I listened more carefully than before.

I want to take good score than first Quiz.

But I missed one thing. I had an unsatisfied feeling.

Women pronounce fater than men.

Their pronunciation is exactly so I can listen easily.

I try to get 100% score next time!!

Notes on the topic:)

I learned dough means same as money.

I have been knowing dough means a mixture of flour, water, etc used for

baking into bread.

Also, ridiculous means very silly or unreasonable.

Advertisement

Now days, the companies advertise their products.

The advertisements are increasing more and more to expend their profits.

We can see the advertisement on TV.

The companies have to make a fantastic advertisement and and enticing advertisement.

Because people usually memorize more impressive advetisement than other.

Some companies made comparision advertisement to emphasis their products.

We can see the advertisement easily in our society.

I also saw some advertisements in our school.

I saw some drink advertisements like POWERADE, VITAMIN WATER, and FUZE.

Powerade -with vitamins, energy, power, hydration

Fuze- refresh, healthy infuzion.

Vitamin water- low calories, for less inch to pinch, no sodium than we'd be saltwater.
