Go Green

After reading the Energy & Environment article in the New Your Times, I thought, about when I go home on weekends and, I always see trash laying on the side of the road or interstate. And I think to myself is it that hard to throw your garbage away when you get home. Some people say they don’t wasn’t to pay for the trash bags, but there are garbage’s all over. Wal-mart has no got smart and put garbage cans out in the parking lot so you don’t even have to walk that far to throw your McDonalds bag away. To me I think people are just getting lazy.
The article talks about a way to get children involved with going green. F. A. O. Schwarz has created a new toy called Peat the Penguin. The soy fibered plush toy teaches green lesson and “is an ardent supporter of recycling, reusing and reducing waste.” (Kaufman, para 4)

PepsiCo. Is also created the “dream machines” which will recycle kiosks. The machine is to increase the recycling rate of beverage containers by about 36 percent nationwide. According to Pepsi more than 200 billion beverage containers are produced in the United States each year, filled with PepsiCo products like Mountain Dew and Aquafina.

When I attended the Comedy at the Westerns Lunda Center I was filled with laughter by, Bernie McGrenahan’s. I am a big fan of comedy and was looking toward attending this show. I thought it was cool how he put his program together. Bernie didn’t just jump in and talk about drug abuse. He started out with some jokes. My favorite would have to be the toilet paper one. About how they always have the set covers and when you punch out the middle it rips in half. And when you lay all the little squares of paper down and one falls in they all follow after. In addition the joke about the Amish was good. He was on the Late Night show and talked about how the producer said he could not tell the joke. And Bernie said, “How would the Amish ever know.” It was so funny to me because I live in the area where there are a lot of Amish. After a few more jokes he started talking about how he abused alcohol and drugs. He talked about how he would tell jokes to the officers once they pulled him over. And the why he abused drugs in his life. He had to leave college and retune home to live with his parents and depended on going out and drinking. He lost his baseball scholarship and his future. When he moved home Bernie realized his little brother also had a drinking problem and tried to confront him. When he got sick of fighting with him he went to the bar and his little brother ended up shooting himself in the hart. He left his parents, sister and twin brother with no answers of why he did it. His twin brother has a disorder and Bernie loves taking him out. Every time they go out he always says, “you came you came,” unlike when he was drunk and didn’t care or show up.
