Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer
924 words
A. Who makes up most of the pollution B. Who and
what is harmed by pollution Conclusion: We need to
use renewable resources and finding uses for waste
products instead of creating pollution by throwing
them out. Our environment is a crucial part of our
lives, and we must learn how to treat it
correctly. Without it we would not be living. We
need to become more aware of the circumstances
that are going to take place if action is not
taken. We need to stop making emphasis on what
will make us more...

Quality Of Life Electric Cars

Nobody likes to get lost going to an important
place. Last year I had an interview with the
Mc-Great Hill Company in San Francisco, and the
night before the interview I made sure of the
directions to the company. However, the next day
when I drove out to the Company, the construction
workers blocked off the exit ramp and I had to use
the next exit. Not knowing my way around the city,
I made a wrong turn and ended up near the pier.
That day I wish I had a navigator in my car; I
would have wasted ...

Thousands Of Years Hemp Seeds

Legalize Industrial Hemp Its time to do something
about it! Our government has kept it away from us
for long enough. The hemp plant is a misunderstood
natural resource that if legalized would solve
many problems in the United States. Our founding
fathers grew and used this plant faithfully. It is
a remarkably strong and versatile plant. In fact,
it is helpful to our diminishing environment. We
need to decide the outcome of our future, and
legalize growing industrial hemp for the good of
humanity...

Supreme Court. In 1913, the 16 th Amendment was

tax personal income. Congress imposed taxes to
help raise money to fight wars. Before, the

Hydrogen And Oxygen Combustion Engines

Hard to believe that the simplest atom in the
universe is used in the making of the most
destructive weapon known to man isnt it? Well so
is the fact that it will soon (we hope) become the
replacement for petroleum-based fuels, and just
about every other form of fuel too. One electron
orbiting one proton is all that hydrogen is, and
it is mankind's future. It is easy to manufacture,
(although the government says otherwise, ) safe
and easy to store, and has only one by-product

Pryor November 25, 1996. Back in the middle of
October, the price of natural-gas had risen

Cause and Effects on Todays Rising Gas Prices
Natural gas is not a renewable resource, since
there is a fixed amount of it trapped in the
Earth. However, many people carry the
misconception that there is a very limited amount
of natural gas, and that we may use all of it up.
This isn t true. The gas shortages of the 1970 s
were prompted by the government s lack of faith in
the industry s ability to discover and develop new
reserves, not by lack of gas supply. The
unfortunate impression left by t...
