Manhattan Libraries

The Library in manhattan was a great help for gathering basic information. At first learning and using the library in LaGuardia or any other Queens Public Library was useful. Though they dont provide information like the NYPL Humanities Research, or the Midtown Manhattan Library. It is more convenient to work on any research in the Midtown Manhattan Library on my perspective. For the fact that i take time on information whenever I do a report. The reason I'm saying this is because in NYPL Humanities Research, We are not allowed to check out books, though it holds more information. Midtown Manhattan Library has sufficient information for a legitimate research paper. It is full of valid resources on each floor. The most useful floor related to my research paper is the 5th floor. For the fact that it has the common information of what is needed with my project. Like history, my ideas and facts would be based on historical events to prove my point. The sucject of Law is also in this floor. I would try and defend of what i speak of with laws. Like our first ammendment that protects our freedom of speech, by indivuals and Press. Of what we speak of is based on Philosophy.Philosophies such as the teachings of Socrates, revealed by his student Plato. On the fourth floor, i would basically use to record my research or information i have gathered for the day. Because in this floor, all is used for is computers. It is to type and do research online, but internet research i can do at home. These are the floors i would use the most in my research, the others i can also use, for example. If i need visual facts, i would go to the 3rd floor, where i can find magazines, art, and photographs. The second floor is not valid for my research, except for the various encyclopedias it has. The first floor can be used to check out books based on topics for my research.

Saving Trees

There are many ways to prevent our planet from global warming. I have started to use my plastic bags, if it is not being used for disposal of garbage. I usually bring something to eat for school and work, before I always used a plastic bag, and threw it. Now I have considered into buying a small lunch bag. I would prefer purchasing one that doesn’t look too childish for me. Driving is one of the biggest problems here on earth. It pollutes the air, and needs a lot of factories to make the cars, that also pollute air. In my part for this situation is to not drive. Living in New York City gives us all the advantage of transportation, due to there immaculate service all around in the city. I’m upset over smoking, which I have now controlled myself. Before, I used to buy packs, and not care of where I threw the butts, till I learned that these butts are contaminating our water’s and provoking dangerous situations in the marine ecosystem. Butts are treated like any other debris for me now, the same way I keep my garbage when in the beach. Though I don’t go to the beach at all, due to the nasty color the water has…sea water is not supposed to be dark. Cigarettes pollute air the same way it pollutes my respiratory system. This is an issue I myself must overcome, which I’m doing now slowly by not purchasing packs anymore. Energy also needs to be saved, therefore keeping the lights I don’t need in my house turned off is a way to save up our electric energy. Recycling is also very important, this I have been doing since jr high. From throwing plastic bottles, to papers, old glasses etc. It’s hard to keep this truce in any household. But fortunately, I take care of the garbage, so I set apart recycling from any other very carefully. Especially recycling lithium batteries, these batteries can cause vast pollution over there chemical leakage, and cause a problem in messing up the ecosystem. Before learning about global warming, I used to love television. Television takes up a lot of energy, so now instead I reduced the time I spent in watching television, I rather now go and play my favorite sport, which is handball. Doing everything on the internet is now becoming huge, this I think can also help trees. Hopefully, we would never have to use paper again, and do everything by mail. As of now, my school work is fortunately all by the internet, so im not using much paper. Though I did have a problem with my boss, in my job, we are told to do a lesson plan over 5 pages. I have told her my belief, and at first she rejected thinking I was orally presenting my work to her. Instead, I told her that it would be much better and faster if we were to do our lesson plans by E-Mail. This interested her for the fact that, it is much faster for the staff to present there lessons to her e-mail, so she can reply them back with whatever they did wrong. I have not only motivated myself into saving the planet, but also my boss, and even involved my whole staff into saving some trees.
