1. Recycle

You’ve heard it a hundred times and you’ll hear it a hundred more - save the Earth by constantly recycling like this cat does!


2. Turn off lights

Never waste energy by leaving lights on in empty rooms or even an empty house. Instead conserve it by remembering to turn off any lights when leaving a room.


3. Take shorter showers

Everyone loves a nice long shower, but imagine how many gallons of water you’re truly wasting. Try cutting down your time in the bathroom every day by at least a couple minutes.



4. Use less paper towels

The next time you use a paper towel, take a look to see how wet it actually is after you use it. If it isn’t soaked through entirely, you used too much. Pay closer attention to how much you truly need.



5. Turn off the faucet

Often times, we leave sink faucets dripping without even realizing. This is a useless waste of water - make sure to tightly turn and close your faucets!



6. Change travel habits

Gas emissions from cars contribute to a large portion of today’s global warming situation. By carpooling with friends or taking a bike/train/bus instead, you will inevitably be helping to reduce those dangerous emissions immensely.



7 Use refillable water bottles.

The amount of plastic water bottles thrown away could create a chain that would wrap around our Earth several times! Try a more environmentally-friendly alternative, like refillable water bottles.



8. Stop littering

Stop creating more messy trash in this wonderful world than there has to be! Dispose of your wastes properly, it’s really that easy.



9. Pick up trash

Clean up after those who don’t follow the before-mentioned. No matter where you find trash, I’m sure there’s a reasonably close trash can or recycling bin.



10. Read news online

Instead of subscribing to a normal newspaper, save paper and catch up on all the news online.



11. Inform others

Encourage your family and friends to participate in helping to save our world in small ways!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
