I am doing a Power Point Presentation on Protect the Enviroment; and i have the following ideas; however i could use great help on pictures for each idea. Please help me?
To Stop Global Warming (Protect our Environment)
1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)
CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
2. Install a programmable thermostat
Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you 0 a year on your energy bill.
3. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer
Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has more tips for saving energy on heating and cooling.
4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner
Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
5. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases
Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most efficient models available.
6. Do not leave appliances on standby
Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that’s switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.
7. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket
You’ll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. You can save another 550 pounds per year by setting the thermostat no higher than 50°C.
8. Move your fridge and freezer
Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on their own. For example, if you put them in a hot cellar room where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is almost double and causes an extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges per year and 320kg for freezers.
9. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly
Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their predecessors.
10. Don’t let heat escape from your house over a long period
When airing your house, open the windows for only a few minutes. If you leave a small opening all day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during six cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in almost 1 ton of CO2 emissions.
11. Replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazing
This requires a bit of upfront investment, but will halve the energy lost through windows and pay off in the long term. If you go for the best the market has to offer (wooden-framed double-glazed units with low-emission glass and filled with argon gas), you can even save more than 70% of the energy lost.
12. Get a home energy audit
Many utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly insulated or energy inefficient. You can save up to 30% off your energy bill and 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy specialist.
13. Cover your pots while cooking
Doing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%!
14. Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are full
If you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting. There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures.
15. Take a shower instead of a bath
A shower takes up to four times less energy than a bath. To maximise the energy saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and provide the same comfort.
16. Use less hot water
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year) instead of hot.
17. Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible
You can save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6 months out of the year.
18. Insulate and weatherize your home
Properly insulating your walls and ceilings can save 25% of your home heating bill and 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Caulking and weather-stripping can save another 1,700 pounds per year. Energy Efficient has more information on how to better insulate your home.
19. Be sure you’re recycling at home
You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates. Earth 911 can help you find recycling resources in your area.
20. Recycle your organic waste
Around 3% of the greenhouse gas emissions through the methane is released by decomposing bio-degradable waste. By recycling organic waste or composting it if you have a garden, you can help eliminate this problem! Just make sure that you compost it properly, so it decomposes with sufficient oxygen, otherwise your compost will cause methane emissions and smell foul.
21. Buy intelligently
One bottle of 1.5l requires less energy and produces less waste than three bottles of 0.5l. As well, buy recycled paper products: it takes less 70 to 90% less energy to make recycled paper and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide.
22. Choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills when you can
You will also cut down on waste production and energy use!
23. Reuse your shopping bag
When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil.
24. Reduce waste
Most products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g. during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch boxes.
25. Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%. The Arbor Day Foundation has information on planting and provides trees you can plant with membership.
26. Switch to green power
In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar. The Green Power Network is a good place to start to figure out what’s available in your area.
27. Buy locally grown and produced foods
The average meal in the United States travels 1,200 miles from the farm to your plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community.
28. Buy fresh foods instead of frozen
Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.
29. Seek out and support local farmers markets
They reduce the amount of energy required to grow and transport the food to you by one fifth. You can find a farmer’s market in your area at the USDA website.
30. Buy organic foods as much as possible
Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we’d remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!
31. Eat less meat
Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to produce methane, which they exhale with every breath.
32. Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possible
Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year! Look for transit options in your area.
33. Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates
Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. eRideShare.com runs a free national service connecting commuters and travelers.
34. Don’t leave an empty roof rack on your car
This can increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10% due to wind resistance and the extra weight – removing it is a better idea.
35. Keep your car tuned up
Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. When just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere.
36. Drive carefully and do not waste fuel
You can reduce CO2 emissions by readjusting your driving style. Choose proper gears, do not abuse the gas pedal, use the engine brake instead of the pedal brake when possible and turn off your engine when your vehicle is motionless for more than one minute. By readjusting your driving style you can save money on both fuel and car mantainance.
37. Check your tires weekly to make sure they’re properly inflated
Proper inflation can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Since every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, every increase in fuel efficiency makes a difference!
38. When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle
You can save 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year if your new car gets only 3 miles per gallon more than your current one. You can get up to 60 miles per gallon with a hybrid! You can find information on fuel efficiency on FuelEconomy and on GreenCars websites.
39. Try car sharing
Need a car but don’t want to buy one? Community car sharing organizations provide access to a car and your membership fee covers gas, maintenance and insurance. Many companies – such as Flexcar – offer low emission or hybrid cars too! Also, see ZipCar.
40. Try telecommuting from home
Telecommuting can help you drastically reduce the number of miles you drive every week. For more information, check out the Telework Coalition.
41. Fly less
Air travel produces large amounts of emissions so reducing how much you fly by even one or two trips a year can reduce your emissions significantly. You can also offset your air travel by investing in renewable energy projects.
42. Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions
You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home by actively encouraging other to take action.
43. Join the virtual march
The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a non-political effort to bring people concerned about global warming together in one place. Add your voice to the hundreds of thousands of other people urging action on this issue.
44. Encourage the switch to renewable energy
Successfully combating global warming requires a national transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. These technologies are ready to be deployed more widely but there are regulatory barriers impeding them. Take action to break down those barriers with Vote Solar.
45. Protect and conserve forest worldwide
Forests play a critial role in global warming: they store carbon. When forests are burned or cut down, their stored carbon is release into the atmosphere – deforestation now accounts for about 20% of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Conservation International has more information on forests and global warming.
46. Consider the impact of your investments
If you invest your money, you should consider the impact that your investments and savings will have on global warming. Check out SocialInvest and Ceres to can learn more about how to ensure your money is being invested in companies, products and projects that address issues related to climate change.
47. Make your city cool
Cities and states around the country have taken action to stop global warming by passing innovative transportation and energy saving legislation. 194 cities nationwide representing over 40 million people have made this pledge as part of the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Find out how to make your city a cool city.
48. Tell Congress to act
The McCain Lieberman Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act would set a firm limit on carbon dioxide emissions and then use free market incentives to lower costs, promote efficiency and spur innovation. Tell your representative to support it.
49. Make sure your voice is heard!
Americans must have a stronger commitment from their government in order to stop global warming and implement solutions and such a commitment won’t come without a dramatic increase in citizen lobbying for new laws with teeth. Get the facts about U.S. politicians and candidates at Project Vote Smart and The League of Conservation Voters. Make sure your voice is heard by voting!
I recently had my car towed like the third time in a month. I’m thinking it is not worth fixing. It is a 1996 Dodge Neon. (That may say it all) Because of credit problems, I do not qualify for a payment in which I can afford. I’m thinking of doing without a car for a year or so and take public transportation. I have two jobs. Luckily, my day job allows me to telecommute and work from home. I have a part time job in which I am able to take public transportation. I admit that I never lived without a car before. I want advice from people that do? How is it carrying groceries on the bus/subway? What about taking my cat to the vet? Doctors appointments? etc?
listen, I am in a really tight situation right know where the job that I have is not providing me with enough money to make my bills. I was wondering if any of you know of a REAL, honest, legit way to make money online. Please don’t tell me about the ridiculous scams that are circulating the internet. I have heard all about PPC, affiliates, giving stuff for free, or also those MLM companies, MLM’s take TOO long and I need to get out of this now! I was trying to look for telecommuting jobs or freelance but I could not find anything good. Please, please help me out. I need something honest and that doesn’t require an investment because well…I DON’T HAVE MONEY! anywayz I would really appreciate the help. if you would rather e-mail me to let me know my info is: clearbutterfly@hotmail.com. thanks!
hard drive recovery is the process of extracting data with assistance software utilities or internal disk operations level in more software tools logically or physically damaged hard disk. The best practice is to create a disk image before restarting. A disk image is an exact copy of a hard drive or partition is assigned to volume. It is created to avoid loss of data during the recovery process. We must always maintain a security update on a secondary storage device external hard disk to prevent recovery requirements. If we all saved data, you can simply do a clean reinstallation and restore data under directory structure of our past. In addition to this, they must use hard drives with higher MTBF (mean time between failures) rating and SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) support. We have the ability to turn on the SMART system BIOS (Basic Input Output System) to test for all the difficult physical problems and proactively inform us.
A hard disk is divided into several subparts. Mobile and can be divided into components that are not moving. The structures are mobile motor shaft and the shaft, read / write arm head actuator, and flat head actuator. The non-removal are: 1.) Hard disk controller 2.) Head / Disk Assembly 3.) PCB (Printed Circuit Board) 4.) Input / output, etc.
The recovery hard disk can be done using these two approaches, however logical or physical disk failure:
i) Hard Drive Recovery Software: These are services that are developed on the basis of the information system to enable the file structure of software to find files, information File Company to recognize the header and footer file and advanced scanning algorithms to scan the hard disk so effective. A home user can use this software to scan your disk drive after the loss of data. Some offer software as the Data recovery boot device as CD or DVD to start if the system is not bootable. We need connecting an external hard drive (USB / Firewire IEEE 1394) or a flash drive (USB). We start with the boot device and scan the hard disk. You even see the loss of data files recovery software quality, and save files on external hard drive or a flash drive.
ii.) Services Unit hard recovery: the recovery of hard drive loss data service is performed by data recovery experts with extensive experience and exposure to internal components disk. This collection procedures, often against removing the hard drive and repair or replacement of components, some of which, such as read / write arm control head if failed. The hard drive recovery takes place in the sterile environment cleanroom. The lab environment rooms whites have climate control, pressure, humidity and dust, no particles to ensure maximum protection on the internal hard drive.
The data that we store on your hard drive really is stored on disks. The least these are the easiest way to recover lost data. If a disk is physically bad sectors have developed the physicists can not recover lost data from our source and the area affected by bad sectors physical will not be available for recovery by means unreadable. These physical bad sectors can be repaired or removed as sectors bad logic.
The discs offer a large storage capacity and are highly profitable compared to other storage media. Today, the disks Drives are available on the market for a maximum of 2TB of storage. By eliminating the data on any operating system like Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS or Linux, the files are not deleted in the camp. Only the file reference is deleted by the operating system. In other words, the files remain on the hard drive when you can not access them using the operating system. The same is true in the case of lost or corrupted data, but they must be to repair corrupted data files as well.
The partition or volume loss also results the same rule as the data still reside on partitions or volumes, but we can not access them. The reasons for these conflicts are common errors of software system, improperly deleting the operating system warning related to the partition of health, infection, etc. If we are facing one of the above problems and data on the hard disk becomes inaccessible, do not use the hard drive of any other operation href = "http://www.stellarinfo.com/"> Data Recovery her to avoid overwriting the disk. After missing files are replaced by user operations as erroneous overwriting the drive with some new files as a paste operation, it becomes impossible to recover files that start / end are exchanged against new files.

How do I see a damaged hard disk in Windows using a unity cabinet?
The damaged hard drive in my notebook, and could not see. I put HDD USB box and plugged in my office. The units appear, but when I try to open them, I get the error "File or directory is Corrputed or illegible. This disk contains important documents, and I'm back … Is there a program I can use to navigate disk damaged?
1. Click Start, then Run. 2. In the Open type chkdsk, / f :, Where is the letter drive in which damaged a file or folder index file system exists. 3. Click OK. Or you need to right click on my computer and go the management unit and manually assign a drive letter to the unit

For those who think that John McCain had been Bush III?
Do you know that Obama has not only failed to stop all the monstrous "George HW Bush's actions began, it has actually developed and elaborated on several of them? Such as extension the Patriot Act and the extension of the war in Afghanistan? Or is it now acceptable because the person in charge is a Democrat and black? John McCain III can be eventually a third term for Bush, but we will never know with certainty whether or not there would have been. But we can be 100% sure that Obama is a third Bush administration.
I think it's funny how the Democrats are as acceptable as that of leadership Barack Obama has saved the country and all that load when you have a lot of the same policy as Bush! Tho I would be like Obama because he had no knowledge and for the Office not better than taking the easy route and just follow the path it took Bush! I agree with your assessment!
I am a stay at home mom. I have had some praise for my writing in the past. I would like to write articles online, but I don’t really know where to begin. What exactly is "freelancing"? How do I begin? I am a bit of a recluse so I don’t want to have to actually meet people to promote myself, I would rather do it with the anonymity of the internet. Is this possible? I have been published on www.associatedcontent, but they only pay Americans, which I am not. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Staying home to care for a sick child or taking an elderly parent to a doctor’s appointment shouldn’t mean risking one’s job. That shouldn’t be the tradeoff. People shouldn’t have to choose between taking the time they need after giving birth, for example, or adopting a child, and keeping that job that they need to support the child they just had. That shouldn’t be the choice.
Things like paid family leave and sick days and affordable childcare should be the norm, not the exception. That’s why we think it’s important to highlight companies that are embracing these policies, ones that are experimenting with things like flex time and telecommuting and focusing on performance and output rather than face time. That’s why the President and Secretary Solis have spoken out in favor of the Healthy Families Act, which would let millions more working Americans earn up to seven days a year of paid sick time to care for themselves and their families. That would be innovative and new. But we are happy that we have a President and a Secretary of the Department of Labor who had the vision and the foresight to see that this now needs to happen. (Applause.)
But the administration also knows that we essentially have to put our money where our mouths are, so the administration is working to practice what we preach …..
AND MAKE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT A MODEL OF WHAT WE ARE ASKING OTHERS TO DO. From EXPANDING telework options to providing emergency childcare and affordable day care, we need to be implementing all of those ideas throughout the federal government. I was particularly pleased to learn that the childcare center here at the Department of Labor actually provides financial aid to help employees afford excellent care regardless of the size of their paychecks, and those are the kind of things that we need to be doing all across the government.
edit @ (:P): You are incorrect in accusing me of advocating anything. I simply posted a question in unbiased format. You have a good answer, but your unwarranted accusation toward me shows your arrogance.
I provided an excerpt of the link; you may wish to read the entire link.
Hi, I’m a freelance online developer in India and one of my client is sponsoring me to travel to UK for 3 weeks. Now, can some one guide me on what documents are required for me to apply for a Business VISA? On the VISA form I am confused about PART 5 http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/docs/1903073/VAF1C
I currently live and work in Dallas, Texas and enjoy no State Income Tax. I have an opportunity to return home to Cincinnati, Ohio while maintaining my job in Dallas through a Remote Work program or a Telecommute. Part of the agreement is that I will travel to Dallas frequently (probably 1 week each month). I would be living in an apartment in Ohio for the remainder of month. I will not own a home, I only rent. If I were to get an apartment in Dallas rather than staying in hotels, could I use that apartment as a "Primary Residence" and avoid Ohio Income Tax?
Thank you for the responses. The consensus is clear: this is not a good idea. I am still curious about the rationale. Addressing some of the reasons given: I have family in Ohio now, but am still a Texan, I have friends in both places, I would have possession in both places (furniture, clothing, possibly a vehicle), I call Ohio home now (I know this is not what you meant, but it is still an shaky argument). The only consistent explanation is that I spend more than 50% of my time in Ohio. Is this really the rule? What about people who spend most of their lives traveling on business? If they’re away from home most of the year, do they avoid tax? My employer would list my Texas address in their system, my paychecks would go to the Texas apartment. I would simply spend more time away from home than in it. I’m not trying to be argumentative (and I will probably check with a tax professional at some point), I would just like to know if there is a definite rule.
To sbinlb: I would be paying for a hotel anyway. If a week in a hotel would cost the same as a month of rent (which is likely), then the question is "Which is more: Cost of utilities at apartment or Savings from Income Tax".
For those who are curious: I found the answer here http://tax.ohio.gov/divisions/ohio_individual/individual/residency_status.stm In my case, the killer is "You spent no more than 182 contact periods in Ohio during the taxable year" and possibly also that I had a domicile in Ohio. Looks like this isn’t an option. Thanks for all the advice!
Hello Experts!
I am a green Card holder but not a US Citizen. Soon I will be launching an internet based eBusiness with clients from all over the world.
Regarding payment of tax on earned income form the web site:
In my country of origin I have a registered LLC . The tax rate there is a flat 10%. I also have a registered LLC in the US – the progressive tax rate here might well reach 35-40%
At present I live in the US but also have a legal address in my old country too.
I am a Green Card and a US SSN holder and also have a Passport and a SSN from my country of origin.
I pay Federal and State taxes in the US.
My question is for the new startup business – how to best decide:
1. Which LLC to use to register the new venture with?
2. Where to register the headquarters of the eBusiness – my old country or the US?
3. Where to open the LLC’s bank account to link to my eBusiness’ web site?
I am looking for legal and legitimate solution with a minimum taxes paid.
I appreciate your advice.
Thanks.

The technology behind DLP TVs has actually been around a few yaer now, but only recently started to actually go in itself. DLP Digital Light Processing means, suffice it to say that the way that produces an image the screen is a perfect combination for the standard HDTV, which will soon become the accepted method of television broadcasting.
If you have not heard much yet about DLP TVs, you will soon. But here are some advantages of its design:
1. They are great in brightly lit rooms. Because they use the technology to produce the reflection image on the screen, a screen DLP is less affected by ambient light than many other monitors. It can also produce an image that has more contrast, because they can produce black deeper, for example, LCD TVs.
2. DLP has a refresh rate very high. Update frequency is the frequency the screen is redrawn each second. The higher the refresh rate, easier than the eye can put the images displayed in a picture perfect in your mind. What this means for you is that if you want to watch sports or play action games fast, the screen appears more flexible and realistic with a DLP because of its fast refresh rate.
3. DLP monitors are generally compatible with virtually any video source you want to connect to them. Even can be used as a computer screen well. Make sure that a DLP monitor all the connections necessary for today coupled with video sources to be used.
However, there are some drawbacks to the DLP television that you should be aware of too:
1. DLP screens viewing angle while the center TV without any problem, but it should be seen at eye level for better picture and brightness of the image decreases rapidly when it is above or below eye level. This can restrict when placed for the best viewing position in your room and should be a point taken into account before buy.
2. Although the DLP monitor itself can last almost forever, the light source that produces the image has a hope average life of 10,000 hours. That, of course, much more time watching television, but if you have your TV for hours per day in mind that time is running out on the bulb and when it does not replace, you can spend more than $ 200 for a replacement.
All in general, the DLP screens represents a breakthrough in the field of vision But the television, and technology is rapidly gaining acceptance and improvement. But as with any purchase of better performing TV is a particular model in person before ordering online if you choose to do so.
I'm looking for a TV and I can not choose between LCD or DLP?
I have a large space to live and I want a DLP Due to the size / price, but I am concerned about the angles. My price range is around $ 1100 – $ 1300. So, for an LCD display is not good.
I used to work in the brick two ….. and I have always favored the DLP.

i currently have comcast triple play with high-speed internet, with a non-wireless router. if i buy a wireless router, will i be able to set up wireless internet without dealing with comcast? i already have a home desktop computer, and need to set up a laptop for telecommuting and wanted wireless for that.
I had a quick look online and it seems like most calculators use php.
There is a specific sort of calculating I want to do >> give a user options using dropdown boxes and estimate whether they can afford a desired product based on their income, and their choices in the dropdown boxes.
So I figured I could use javascript perhaps, and use If blocks to specify which conditions would make a product affordable.
When the user clicks submit, I would display the products that are estimated to be affordable, along with providing some links and information on those products.
Could this all be done with javascript?
So far all I have is a web form…. and I haven’t added any conditions yet. I don’t know where to put them.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Advice along with useful links would all be helpful.
