This is not something I have done yet but I saw on the Today Show and it made me very interested. There is a Magazine do-not send list, this is similar to the do not call list. The story that was presented a couple of weeks ago about students from a school in Massachusetts. The students had gone out and collected magazines from their homes and brought them in to class. Then during class they would enter in the information about the magazine and address it was sent to. This website would then send the information on to the magazine company and the company was then required to stop sending the magazines. By doing this students stopped the production of thousands of magazines that were not being used. The plan was to lessen the students impact on the earth and by eliminating thousands of magazines before they were even printed helped save thousands of trees. I can no longer find the website to do this but if I do then I will definitely add my unwanted magazines to the list.
I thought that the idea that this teacher from this Massachusetts school had was a really good idea of helping lessen that classes (and their families) impact on global warming. This is a generation of technology and by the time I become a teacher all students will have there own computers. If I make a Wiki-space or my own website that has all class information and documents then it will lessen my classes pollution by not using paper. I can use blogs and do tests on line that they can send to me. This will cut down on the amount of paper that the class uses. Every little bit helps and I believe that if I use small amounts of paper then my class will contribute to the lessening of global warming.

This is a great start on this assignment. Don't forget to tell what you did to learn new things about global warming and then list three new things you learned.
4/6 due to being incomplete and the typos: This is not a complete sentence: "The story that was presented a couple of weeks ago about students from a school in Massachusetts."; "students impact" should be "students' impact" or "student's impact" depending on whether you are talking about one student or more than one student; "that classes (and their families) impact" should be "that class's impact" and "their families' impact" because we're talking about the impact of that class; "there own computers" should be "their own computers"; "my classes pollution" should be "my class's pollution"--it's only one class but it's the pollution of that class which is why it should be possessive";
