1. take shower rather than baths
2. Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth and shave
3. Instead of letting the tap run until it gets cold each time you'd like a glass of water, keep a water pitcher in the fridge.
4. Skip the dryer and hang your clothes on a clothesline or drying rack to save both energy and wear and tear on fabrics.
5. If it's sunny outside, be sure to open your blinds to get the full benefit of the most energy-efficient source of light.

Man dying on the septa bus
If a come to Philadelphia on a trip and i read an article stating a man died on a bus, i would think Philadelphia is a bad place to live in. I would think they don't care and they just wanna make money. I would believe that they have no respect for elderly people. I believe that they should check up on people when they look like something is bothering them. The article said he urinated and was drooling. How did you not notice that? The crazy part about it was the bus driver called their supervisor and they told them to keep going. That crazy, i could believe that when i read it. I would believe that Philadelphia was a horrible place. Society can be improved by helping the needed, and watch out for other. You can also be aware of your surrounding. Honestly, yes we need to improve our society.

"When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?"
"When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?" was stated by Eleanor Roosevelt. This statement has impacted over time because people in the world today are in so much misery that they let everything get to them. And when they do that, they react in a misery manner towards others. Which causes them to get there selves into trouble.

Bulling
This interview/story is very touching. It talks about different people experience of being bullied. Some people being the parent are not doing their job. A lot of children tell their parent and the parent never do anything about it until it get violent. I believe many people need to recognize bully is a serious crime. Even if it may seem like it is something small and it doesn't matter it does. People need to take it serious and listen to people when they tell you that they are getting bullied.
