Reena Villariz AP English- Period 4 Ms. Cunningham March 31, 2011 Conserving energy is definitely crucial in improving a nation’s economy, environment and society. Throughout the years, scientists and other experts developed various ways on how to save electricity. Daylight saving time, which was initiated by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, is one method in which individuals can properly maintain the environment. Due to its massive significance to mankind’s society and surroundings, the daylight savings time should be continuously regulated for its outstanding benefits such as crime reduction, energy conservation and traffic safety. Daylight saving time offers a more harmless environment; it decreases crime rates that usually happen during the evening.
1. Considering that a consumer usually buys a new shower every 10 years, that’s why we assume that Aqualisa’s shouldn’t target the final costumer but the plumber that buys and installs 45 showers a year, making them a crucial piece that influences the Quartz sales. Aqualisa, developed a new and revolutionary product in the shower industry, the Quartz, based on the beliefs that the main problems with the shower industry in U.K. came from the poor-to-low water pressure and the frequent fluctuation on water temperature in the shower. But it didn’t have the market impact that they expected… It is known that plumbers have a resistance to innovation, they even discourage clients to buy these kinds of showers, influenced by older showers with electronic innovations which at that time didn’t work as well as they should, giving more problems to their owners than “normal” showers. The difference between these new showers and the older ones is that when they install one of Aqualisa’s Quartz shower, they are astonished with the shower itself and with the assembly process and even ask for more information about them: they become converted!
Soon the tanning business would decrease as the government put a federal tax and raised the age limit so high as an awareness to those that indoor tanning is indeed health risky. Nearly 28 million people tan indoors in the United States annually. Of these, 2.3 million are teens. Since the 1970's the age limit of tanning was 14 years of age, although long before skin cancer increased it was normal to have an all-year round tan. However as years flew by, the age limit of
Daylight Saving Time also known as DST is when the clocks are set one hour ahead during the spring time and set back one hour in the fall. There is a debate to whether DST has a positive or negative effect. From what I have read in these articles there is more negative arguments against DST. The studies say DST has many beneficial outcomes but others disagree. Such as in California they have seen little or no effect during DST.
But what is their direct ease on enforcing this law? After this law was passed, beside major benefits like contributing to decrement of global warming, San Francisco benefited in many other ways. Firstly, environment pollution and volume of waste was significantly reduced. Secondly, they saved money that they spent on disposing waste materials. Thirdly, people are less likely to experience deceases caused by polluted
241). After compromising with the rural population during the late 1800’s lawmakers developed standards for the number of days that were legally required by the state. Eventually this developed into the traditional school year with a three-month summer break (Hermansen, 1971, p. 9-10). Many feel that this agrarian based school calendar is outdated for the society in which we live. It is widely accepted that the long summer break leads to “summer learning loss” and proponents of the YRS think that decreasing the length of the summer will help eliminate this problem.
They had predicted a loss for the new facility within the budget but they were not able to predict the economic downturn. The new facility is located in an area where individuals have better insurance and younger population base so, the speculation is the revenue generated would be more profitable, unlike the facilities in Seattle that have a higher population on Medicare and Medicaid.

“I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It's a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars.” Said Elon Musk. Electric car is an electrical vehicle that uses chemical energy stored in its’ rechargeable battery, they are one of earliest creations amongst the automobiles devised by the famed engineer Thomas Parker 1884. Nevertheless, electric cars didn’t see the light after the evolution of internal combustion engines and mass production of low-priced gasoline powered vehicles led to deterioration in the use of electric vehicles. However, by the beginning of 21th century and the increased percentage of greenhouse gasses emissions;
The dangers of poor sleeping habits and obesity Americans live in a society that rewards bad sleep patterns. A person boasting about how little sleep they got last night is like earning a merit badge, as if to say “look how rich and full my life is, there is no time for me to sleep, definitely not boredom here.” In reality, very few people have anything worthwhile to do after 9:00 at night, unless they are working night shifts or attending to young children. Anyone outside these two situations who regularly stays up late is probably doing so because they don’t value sleep as a means to good health or they don’t understand how severe the consequences of poor sleep habits can be. Consequently the obesity epidemic prevails amongst those Americans. Obesity is caused by many factors, one of these consequences is one that people often overlook, poor sleeping habits.
