Lena Kelly's How To Be Green slides

1.

• If we keep exploiting natural resources, we might have to colonize to two different planets within a 50 year time period.
• We can do little things like recycling to get our Earth back where it should be.
• Stubborn people are the reasons our Earth is crumbling down. hahaha :)

2. The 50 year time period theory and that incandescent light bulbs can help our environment.

3. Is that 50 year time period theory true?

Recycle :)

I completed slides 1-4

Worst Weather Events

1. Which weather events kill the most Americans?
Flooding kills the most Americans.

2. Which weather events kill the most people (in the world)?
My guess would be a hurricane.

3. Are your answers to those two questions different? Why or why not?
Yes. Because I think more people would die from hurricanes because there is wind AND water. With floods, it could only be water.

4. Read this article. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
I agree because water is really strong. They can do A LOT of damage and they could kill.

5. For your response to #1, find three weather events. Describe what happened (how severe was the storm, did anyone get hurt or die, how much property damage, include pictures, etc.).

Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Floyd were all very serve and caused a lot of damage. Katrina left 1,800 dead, Isabel left 50 dead and Floyd left at least 57 dead.
