Unfortunately, Brisbane residents are unable to conserve water without restrictions, which is why the restrictions system is utilized by local government. Brisbane residents have lived with level 6 water restrictions for the past 2 years and as they have been so limited there will undoubtedly be a self indulgent splurge by almost ever house hold. The dams won’t be able to handle the rush and it will only result in short term gain for long term loss. On level 6 water restrictions, the parameters for water use are 140 liters per person per day. At 40 per cent of the reserves, water restrictions will be reduced to level 3 which is 170 liters per person per day.
According to the Pew's Economic Policy group and the Pew Center, on the States shows that after release, former male inmates work nine fewer weeks annually and takes home 40 percent less in annual earnings, making $23,500 instead of $39,100. That amounts to an expected earnings loss of nearly $179,000 through age 48 for men who have been incarcerated (Lasky, 2010).

In Document I, it shows the statistics of the average work rate for Carnegie’s workers, and almost every worker works for more than ten hours a day, on every type of industry. While on the other hand, Andrew Carnegie worked for about seven hours a day, fifty hours a week. The second reason why Carnegie was not a hero in my opinion is because he extremely underpaid his workers, even if the work was pretty much a death sentence. In Document I, the average daily wages for Carnegie’s workers is less than two dollars, for every type of industry, gathering six hundred dollars a year. Unlike Andrew Carnegie, his hourly “wage” is equal to $9,200, so that means his daily “wage” is therefore about $92,000.
The adjustments for 2010, 3rd quarter earnings will reduce to $98 million, down from $101.5 million, and 4th quarter will be reduced to $43 million from $114.2 million (Savitz, 2011).

This tells us that the economy as a whole is not taking in account of the fire service, and the risks of working till 66, there for the economy is not improving. My thoughts are as a firefighter who earns £29,000, and retires after a full career aged 60, will get a £19,000 a year pension, rising to £26,000 with the state pension. An equivalent private pension pot would be worth over half a million pounds and require firefighters to contribute twice as much, aslo Firefighters have one of the very best pension schemes available

The median per capita income is about $16,000.00 less than the national average and less that 50 percent of the adults over 25 have graduated high school” (413). Mr. Robinson works a part time job to make an extra dollar (415) which in turn leads to less time with his daughters and therefore the habits that they all have learned about eating can’t be addressed as a family. The circumstances leading to this way of life for the Robinson family play a major role in the outcome. An individual who lacks the income necessary to purchase healthy food may turn to cheaper, unhealthy food. Haygood‘s essay implies the financial burden of purchasing more expensive foods limits the ability to choose a healthy lifestyle.
