SAVE THE ENVIROMENT
As we know the environemnt is the land, water, and air that people animals
and plants live in. The environment influences how people live, but it is us
with our actions who are killing it. In recent years, scientist are examinig,
the ways that people affect the environemt and there are many. Also they
are looking for some of the main contaminates like paper tickets, stirrers
from the coffe makers and disposable alkaline batteries that damage our
planet. But what we don’t know is that there are many easy ways to help the
planet an you don’t have to change radicaly your lifestyle.
Many of you travel by airplane but what you don’t know is that the cost of
processing a paper ticket is aproximately $10, and the processing of an e-
ticket costs only $1. In the near future e.tickets will b e the only option for
traveling because with these we don’t use a lot of paper and a lot of trees
will no be cut.
Another pollutant is related to coffee. Coffee is
a drink that most people like, and to remove the
coffee from our machines we use a stirrer. The
stirrer is a little stick made with a piece of
plastics and other piece of wood. Every year,
Americans throw away 138 billion stirrers. And
now to avoid using stirrers we can use a piece
of pasta to remove or simply put your sugar and
cream first, and the pour in the coffee, and it
should be well mixed.
Most of our appliances use batteries, every year companies produce billions
of batteries and most, of them are disposable alkaline batteries. It´s better to
buy a charger and a set of rechargeable batteries, because a battery alkaline
disposable taks approximately 1000 years to descompose.
Pollution is something that is causing concern in the world and we have to
do something to solve it. These ideas help us to reduce damages and saver
the life of the planet and our lives. These are onlu some ideas but you can
search more to help the world. These small acts can make big changes.

CARS FOR FUTURE FUELS
The elegant lines, rapid acceleration and good range should make this Toyota sell in developing countries and extreme climates in the future. For now, they want to improve that slow uptake that followed the first Prius hybrids; FCV image; Credit: © Toyota-Global
The latest from the world’s largest car-maker uses hydrogen that currently comes from fossil fuels in the classic fuel cell.
The solution for Toyota today is an expensive but long range and long-lasting alternative to electricity. Electric cars, also use fossil fuels in the making of their electricity, so it’s no come-down to wait till we have better chemists! Like EVs, the FCV doesn’t pollute. The hydrogen only burns to produce water.
Working on fuel cells for 22 years, Toyota manages a 700km range for this new car, with reduced weight and the attraction of 3-minute refueling-when you can find the hydrogen. We wonder if some hydrogen could be carried in the boot for special situations where the range was a problem. The use of fuel cells in fork-lift trucks and buses will also add to the background Toyota can bank on to aid

development of this passenger car. Speed, like that of electric vehicles, is faster than any comparable directly fossil-powered car.
With the success, despite some distractors, of the Prius car and many of its relatives, Toyota would seem to have the hybrid market well-covered. This venture will naturally take customers from that market, but this is in the future, 6 months hence in Japan and about a year elsewhere. In that time and for the next few years, the development of hydrogen depends, like that of EVs on fuel supply. This car s boastful of its capacity to supply your house with electricity for a week in an emergency. With other abilities such as really low temperature operation -30o C, certain users will be attracted to a regional capability for extreme climates.

HOW GREEN IS THE IPHONE 6?
By: Sara Bernard
The iPhone 6 was released September 9, as everyone knows and along with the flurry of tweets and blog posts and news articles came — naturally — a tacit claim about its environmental prowess.
According to the live-streamed event in Cupertino, Calif., Apple’s commitment to the environment includes a mercury-free, arsenic-free, and beryllium-free iPhone 6, among other things. This follows the company’s official ban, a few weeks ago, of benxene and n-hexane — two toxic chemicals previously used in the final assembly of Apple products.
Those who speculated we’d be able to charge our phones with their
screens are sorely disappointed, too. The much-anticipated iPhone 6
screen — which Apple said today is indeed “laminated to a single
crystal of sapphire, the hardest transparent material after diamond”
— may be manufactured using solar power. But it isn’t (yet) a built-
in solar panel itself.

PARADISE OF COLORS (HAIKUS)
Yellows as the sun
The leaves have fallen in my heart
Like a dark wine
Whiles and soft as cotton
Realizing the wind is dancing side to side
With a lake as blue as the sky
The trees dance
The purple long carpet that covers the floor
Lays between the yellows flowers
