J.a.c.k. Thrift: Sustainable Business Plan
Billions of pounds of clothing are wasted/thrown away by Americans every year. Our goal when we created this sustainable business was to greatly reduce that amount. The clothing and textile industry is very harmful to the environment. By recycling clothing, some of the pollution and damage that is being done to the earth during clothing production can be avoided. More than 2,700 Liters of water are used to make a single cotton t-shirt, toxic acid gasses like hydrogen chloride are emitted into the atmosphere, etc. If we all thrifted/recycled our clothing, this pollution would be greatly reduced. We can create a sustainable future by recycling or resources rather than throwing them away, reducing the amount of time spent and pollution created by making new material. Recycling clothing reduces water pollution, the amount of greenhouse gases being released, as well as the amount of materials harvested from the earth/animals.

Natural Disasters and Earth Systems Research: Tsunamis
Tsunamis are enormous and destructive ocean waves triggered by earthquakes under the seafloor.
Hydrosphere: During tsunamis, saltwater from the oceans rushes the land. This pollutes groundwater beneath the soil. Groundwater is supposed to be freshwater as it supplies drinking water to 51% of the U.S. population and 99% of the rural population.
Geosphere: Tsunamis wash away and displace a lot of the soil and rock they come in contact with once they reach land.
Biosphere: Just like all natural disasters, Tsunamis kill many humans and animals when they hit land. They beach many land animals and leave the land flooded, ultimately drowning plants.
The Atmosphere is not impacted by Tsunamis.
An understanding of environmental science can aid in the handling of natural disasters because it can better prepare people by making them knowledgeable on what exactly they’re dealing with and more importantly how to prepare for it if they cannot avoid it.
To create a sustainable future, most importantly, we must do things to reduce climate change. Not only is climate change negatively impacting the biosphere, but it is a factor in the increase of natural disasters. We need to do many things such as:
-Recycling
-Reducing plastic and water waste
-Ride a bicycle to reduce air pollution from vehicles, etc.
Media Team; Q4 Benchmark
The Media Team was tasked with the creation of a magazine on Climate Change as well as an instruction manual for building an Aquaponics System. During this project, I took on a huge responsibility as my group was narrowed down to only a few people who were actually working. I created the Media Team's magazine with the well-needed help of my colleague, Douggreco Askew. In addition to this, I helped him make small edits on our instruction manual. We (Doug and I) actually both acted as the managers of the Media Team.

Comparitive Anatomy; Biochemistry Q3 Benchmark
During this project, we researched the reproductive systems of several diverse organisms including humans, frogs, house cats, and earthworms. We gained copious amounts of knowledge on each of these diverse reproductive systems as well as how they compare and contrast to each other. All of these organisms have very different reproductive systems and ways that they reproduce, cats and humans being the most similar to each other. We worked very well as a group and came across few complications, confusion, and some minor setbacks, but everything turned out great in the end.
Here's our work:
Keystone Kramming
This study guide was created for students by students to aid the process of studying for the upcoming Biochemistry Keystone (1/15). This website will hopefully make the long and hard process of studying easier for everyone by providing easy access to information you will need to do so.

Internet Survival Guide
An explanation of how the Internet has changed communication. Make sure to use at least one specific example.
The internet has changed communication because now you don’t have to be face to face to communicate. People are in online relationships and the internet makes it more likely for them to be in a relationship. However,people are more likely to be less social in person than they are on the internet.

You can protect your identity by not sharing certain information that could be considered as private. You can also protect your reputation by not posting or sharing private things that you shouldn’t share with anyone online.
Answer the question: “Does the Internet have rules?” Use at least one specific example.
The internet does have rules but people don’t follow them

Trolling. Trolling is considered cyberbullying because it is doing something for the sole purpose of annoying someone or making them frustrated.
Outing. Outing is considered cyberbullying because it’s sharing someone’s personal things without their permission.
Provide advice for: victims, bullies and bystanders of cyberbullying
-Ignore mean things people can say.
-Don’t jump into arguments on social media.
-Don’t say mean or hurtful things to people online.
-provide advice for people who are actually being bullied.
-Don’t share personal information with anyone you don’t know.
Your Top 5 tips for using the Internet
Don’t share private information
Don’t post explicit/private photos.
Don’t associate with people you don’t really know
Don’t share your passwords with people
Don’t harass people (cyberbullying)
Learn-Create-Lead
Creativity while learning makes me more excited to learn. When we learn, write, and do projects in learning environments, creativity is a must. It pushes most people into having excitement to learn. Without a learning environment that includes creativity, learning tends to get really boring. Think about it, if you were sitting in a boring classroom with no color, being given tedious school work, and you were being taught by a teacher with a monotone voice, your learning experience wouldn’t be so fun and interesting. You wouldn’t enjoy learning, and you would dread being in that specific class. This is because the learning environment lacks creativity.

‘If I can't unsee this then you can't either!' Playboy model Dani Mathers sparks a huge backlash after body shaming a naked woman in the gym showers on Snapchat.
Model Dani Mathers body shamed a woman taking a shower at the gym and put pictures of her doing so on Snapchat and captioned them “If I can’t unsee this, you can’t either”. Apparently, the photos she took body shaming the women were supposed to be used in a private conversation and shared with one person. After she posted the pictures to her thousands of followers, she was called out for body shaming and sued by the woman she body shamed. She immediately apologized for her actions after being bashed on social media by millions of people.
Her actions have had a major impact on her reputation and how people see her as a person. People that have not known her before this incident have had a horrible first impression about her. The story and the images are still circulating around the internet and she cannot remove them because the pictures have been screenshotted, saved, reposted, and shared around the globe. This has to deal with lack of control, when you post something, you have to be mindful what you post because it can be shared in an instant and you cannot control what happens to your post and what people do with it. It technically will never be deleted.
When she posted those pictures to social media, she couldn’t undo it. This has to deal with permanence. What she posted would never be erased and whatever she did on the internet is permanent and will circulate around on the web forever.
People started sharing, reposting ,and screenshotting the photos that the model took immediately after she shared those pictures. This is how the person she took the photos of eventually found out about the photos that were taken of her. This has to deal with Immediacy . Immediately after you post something, people are already viewing it and sharing it with others.
My advice for what Dani Mathers on what she should have done during that situation would be that she could’ve kept her thoughts to herself. It was not necessary for her to put her negative thoughts about another person on social media. Especially if it’s negative or hurtful because that can lower people’s self confidence and cause them to harm themselves.
