<br />
Reducing our use of water will decrease water pollution, increase energy savings, and create more efficient use of our water resources. Too much water in an on-site sewage treatment system can flush untreated material through before organisms have a chance to break it down. If untreated material gets to the drainfield, the material can plug up the soil within the drainfield and shorten the life of the septic system. Sending too much water down the drain can also cause systems to "blow out," allowing untreated material to flow out onto the ground. If this occurs, the system needs to be dug up and repaired. Failing septic systems can:<br />
<br />
contaminate drinking wells <br />
<br />
cause health risks such as hepatitis or dysentery <br />
<br />
cause chemical pollution from household cleaning products <br />
<br />
contribute excess nutrients to ground water, lakes, or streams <br />
<br />
Conserving water in rural areas will increase the life of existing septic systems. Conserving water within a municipal water system will reduce household expenses, increase treatment plant efficiency, and reduce the amount of electricity and chemicals needed to treat wastewater. In both situations, conserving water protects water quality through improved wastewater treatment.<br />
<br />
How Much Water Do We Use?<br />

A typical household of four uses 260 gallons of water each day. Much of this water is used in the bathroom. Toilets use 40% of the total, showers/baths and faucets use 35%. By contrast, 15% is used in the kitchen, and 10% for washing clothes.Firazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031803727691614759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281554147046348660.post-49088748538668032682010-10-20T22:13:00.000-04:002010-10-20T22:13:27.230-04:00Blog Action Day!<div id="change_BottomBar"><span id="change_Powered">Change.org</span><a>|</a><span id="change_Start">Start <a href="http://www.change.org/petition" target="_blank">Petition</a></span></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.change.org/widgets/content/petition_scroller_js?width=550&causes=all&color=00B1FF&partner=1654-164"></script><br />

Blog Action Day is an annual event that unites the world's bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion around an important issue that impacts us all.<br />

For over 24 hours this past Friday, all around the world, water was king. From river conservation to the water crisis in Africa, people couldn’t stop talking about water. Even those who had never heard of Blog Action Day before joined, caught up in the energy and enthusiasm of the Blog Action Day community.Firazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031803727691614759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281554147046348660.post-74566753512176813422010-10-20T22:01:00.000-04:002010-10-20T22:01:23.721-04:00What is Beauty?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #333333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"></span><br />

Beauty is an idea. Everybody's idea of beauty is unique. Beauty is a function of culture also. When ideas about beauty make powerful impacts, they can become beauty ideals. What is ideal beauty? We see it everywhere, from paintings, to magazines to TV. Ideals evolve over time, or they can get stuck in a permanent loop. It seems like beauty is all about trying to live up to an ideal. Which is pretty much a hopeless pursuit, because...ideas and ideals are not real. You are! Beauty isn't just an idea. It's your idea.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">2.-Aesthetics. Aesthetic refers to someone's personal idea of what is beautiful.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">A lot of what we know about beauty comes from art. Realistic art and media is the product of choices made by an artist or media maker. While these images can give us a good idea of what people thought or think is beautiful, the images don't necessarily give us a good idea of what people really look like. For example, magazines and TV today do not really represent an accurate cross section of people in the real world.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">SHOW PICTURES OF MONA LISA, EGYTIAN ART, VENUS OF WILLENDORF, TO ILLUSTRATE DIFFERENT IMAGES OF PORTRAYED BEAUTY.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">3.-. Perfect Woman. Read this to class. Discuss. Share some of your favorite quotes about beauty. Mary Englebreit has a good one.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">4.-Money. Another major factor that has influenced our idea of beauty is money. Historically, looks that implied wealth and status were equated with beauty and looks that were identified with working-class or poor people were thought to be less beautiful. As society has evolved, so have the physical traits associated with richness and poorness. This results in a turnaround of beauty ideals. Example: About 80 years ago in Europe and the U.S., rich people kept their skin as white as possible--because they could. Skin that was tanned and weathered was associated with menial outdoor work. By the 1920's more people started spending their workdays indoors in factories, offices etc. Rich people began taking vacations to the beaches, making a suntan the mark of the lady leisure. The "healthy" suntanned look has remained something of an ideal.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">5.- Economic Conditions. Historically, larger (well-fed) bodies types were the ideal. Now, the wealthy person can show their status by their ability to spend time and money keeping themselves fit (eg. Sarah Jessica Parker 6 months after having her baby)</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">6.- Art, Money and economic conditions all contribute to our idea of what is beautiful, but they don't define it. In the end, beauty is subjective, and only the individual can decide what he or she find beautiful.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The point is, BEAUTY is however you see it.</div>Firazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031803727691614759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281554147046348660.post-67106125770372688162010-09-23T20:11:00.002-04:002010-09-26T10:15:09.567-04:00Angelik's mindmap..!<iframe frameborder="0" height="460" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.glogster.com/glog.php?glog_id=10318994&scale=50" style="overflow: hidden;" width="480"></iframe><br />
