How do people impact Global warming?

People don't really pay attention to all the things they do that really does NOT help Global Warming at all. For starters some people don't recycle. This means that the things that they throw away that can't decompose are going to stay in the ground which can kill some animals' habitats or just animals in general. If you recycle then this won't happen. They will be able toke your the items to make other items which is reusing. We drive cars that don't help at all because of the pollution. By doing all these things is making the ice burgs around the world melt. This isn't good at all. By the ice burgs melting makes the water rise, which means that some of the countries or islands around the world are going to flood. The flooding can cause to people not having homes or even a countries/ land to live on. Where are then going to live? Where are the going to go? Well people aren't making this easy on anybody so help save the earth! Its best for everyone.

How does driving gas cars impact global warming?

First, the more cars there are means more roads. This means less land and cutting down trees to make room for roads. The roads take time to put down but it can ruin some animal hibitats. Cars come in many different sizes. These can be really big or even really small. This really does make a difference on how much gas the car uses, the more gas used the more polution produced by the car. Cars produce gases that are NOT good for the earth and doesn't help global warming at all. If you want to make a difference then car pool. Ride your bike to the next block because this saves money and the planet all at the same time. This is gives you benifits also. So help save the planet, help defeat global warming.

Buddhism Lifestyle

Intro-
Do you think Buddhism is important to the world? Have you
even heard of this religion? Well I think I can change that. Buddhism is actually very cool to learn about. It has many holidays. Some of their holidays are kind of like the U.S.A's. They have a founder that started the religion just like any other religion does. Some religions are likeBuddhism and they where different clothing. Just because some of
the people from Buddhism wear different clothing then we do in the U.S. doesn't that they always do (the picture on the left is a picture of Buddha) I could be just for a traditional way. Anyway, Buddhism is interesting. Want to learn more? Well then visit this website that I think will help, you never know it may help you understand Buddhism more clearly.


Founder
-The founder of buddhism was Siddarth Gatama (in picture on left). For other names you might have heard of him as buddha. That was his nickname. He started this is the location of India. In the 500s BC Buddha decided to create his own religion which he did successfully.

Followers & Locations-
There are about 360 million people in the world that believe in this r
eligion, and follow it. Honestly, i think that is a lot. These locations
in the world are China, Japan,Korea, Southeast Asia (picture of map on right)

Holy Books/ Sacred Texts-
Some holy books and texts would be Sutras, Sutras, Tripitaka. This are very important in the Buddhism religion.

Buddhism Holidays-
Some Buddhism holidays are Buddhist New Year, Vesak, Sangha Day, Dharma Day, Observance Day, Kathiha, Ceremony Festival Floating Bowls, Festival Tooth, and Ancestor Day. (celebration picture on right)

Buddhism clothing-
Buddhas kind of dress different. They wear really long robes th
at are and can be different colors. They have long dresses as well. Some of these dresses are in many different colors too.

Buddha Hierarchy/organization-
Buddhism goes by the organization of the Varna System (caste system). This system has many different classes and if you are in a certain class, you get a certain respect.

Rituals Customs-
Buddhas have a belief of Buddha himself, the founder, so they respect that. They don't think that one god or a god itself made this world. Although, the religion does respect that other countries believe in different god
s and different ways of life. They don't like fighting and they try to respect others in the same religion as well as others not in their religion. Buddhist like to do certain rituals that include dancing flowers, preying, and other unique ways to respect there cultures and gods.



This is a piece of Buddhist art (on left), it is called the footprints of the Buddha. This represents one of the Buddha arts in the anticonic (no status) stage. This symbolizes the respect of India long before Buddhism even started. This is just one of the signs of the Buddhas.

Why do most people fight?

I think that people fight because they are mad at one another. Being mad isn't a bad thing but you don't have to take it out on anyone. Well this shows that you are letting out your emotions. Some people fight because of jealousy or even because they are sad. If you have someone that bothers you in any kind of way you can go to a friend or even a trustworthy friend. This will help with stress which actually can cause pain of even death. Trust me its happened to my dad, he had so much stress that it almost killed him, the good part is that it didn't. Anyway, so if you have stress you can also write it down or even listen to music. It really does help, you can listen to songs that you can express your feelings with and even help you let out the stress. Letting out your stress can help you in the end and it will help you feel better. Think about it, do you have stress?

Advice.

I found a cool website on relationship problems or problems in general. I think that couples that are having problems would benefit form looking at this because it could help them with issues like cheating or getting into fights with other people. This can tell you ways to solve your problems and it has people who have been caught in the same situations as you may be. Sometimes I even go to this sight for help, specially when i have relationship problems. It has advice and tips that can really help. For example, this man was raised in Chicago's west side who says that he has seen men lose their lives for a woman and or turf or even money. It also explains home bad a relationship can affect a life or a mood of someone. I even agree with this websites information on relationships. So check it out.
