Saving Energy
Just a century ago, humans used very little energy because we had less of the
things that consume it. There were no computers, phones, TV, cars, lights, washing
machines and all that. After the industrial revolution, people started using a lot more
manufactured items such as electronics, automobiles, and home appliances. These
items use a lot of energy, but if we all cut its use by half, that would be huge savings,
and make a great difference.
Saving energy can be achieved in different ways: 1. Energy conservation, 2. Energy
Efficiency, and 3. Recycling. These first two are not the same, even though people
often use them to mean the same thing.
1- Energy Conservation: This is the practice that results in less energy being
used. For instance, turning the taps, computers, lights, and TV off when not in use.
It also includes running in the park or outside instead of running on the treadmill in
the gym. Energy conservation is great because we can all do this everywhere and
anytime. It is a fundamental behavior we must acquire.
2- Energy Efficiency: This is the use of manufacturing techniques and technology
_______ produce things that use less energy for the same result. For example, if a
heater is designed to warm your home with less energy than regular heaters, that
would be an energy efficient heater. If your washing machine uses less energy to
do the same job as other washers, that is an energy efficient washer. An interesting
fact is that homes built in the U.S. after 2000 are about 30% bigger, but they use
less energy than older homes.
3- Recycling: This involves the use of waste or old materials to make new ones,
like collecting all old newspapers from the town at the end of every day and turning
the papers into fresh paper for printing again. We can collect all plastic bottles and
send them to be used for new plastic bottles or used for children plastic toys. Recycling saves energy __________ less energy is used to recycle than to turn new
raw materials into new products.
This means that to save energy, we should use all these great ways. If we all try to
do this, together we can save some money and use less natural resources too.

Agriculture and fisheries are closely linked to climate,
making them vulnerable to changes in temperature, CO2 levels,
and extreme weather. While increased temperature and CO2 can
enhance some crop yields, this depends on factors like nutrient
levels, soil moisture, and water availability. More frequent
droughts and floods could challenge food production and safety,
while warming waters may shift fish habitats, disrupting
ecosystems. Overall, climate change may complicate traditional
methods of farming, livestock raising, and fishing.
Crop responses to temperature changes depend on each
crop's optimal growth temperature. Warmer conditions might
benefit certain crops or enable the cultivation of new ones, but
yields decline if temperatures exceed a crop's threshold.
Increased CO2 can enhance plant growth under controlled
conditions but may be offset by water, nutrient, and temperature
constraints. Additionally, elevated CO2 reduces the protein and
nitrogen content in crops like soybeans and alfalfa, lowering their
quality and diminishing the forage value for livestock.
Extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, can
harm crops and reduce yields. For example, high nighttime
temperatures in 2010 and 2012 lowered U.S. corn yields, while
premature budding caused $ 220 million in losses for Michigan
cherries in 2012. Rising summer temperatures may also dry soils,
complicating drought management. Increased irrigation could
help, but reduced water availability might limit its feasibility.
Climate change also favors weeds, pests, and fungi, which
thrive in warmer, wetter conditions with higher CO2 levels. This
could expose crops to new threats and increase farming costs.
U.S. farmers already spend over $ 11 billion annually on weed
control, and these challenges are likely to grow as weed and pest
ranges expand.
While rising CO2 stimulates plant growth, it also lowers
the nutritional value of major crops like wheat, rice, and
soybeans by reducing their protein and mineral content. This
poses a potential risk to human health. Additionally, increased
pest pressure may lead to higher pesticide use, further impacting
health and reducing pesticide effectiveness. Climate change,
therefore, presents multifaceted challenges to food production,
nutrition, and ecosystems.

Answers the question according to the text below.
Organ Donation and Transplant
At this moment, more than 113,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ.
One more person is added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes.
Each of these people is in desperate need of a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ.
More than 6,500 people a year -- about 20 a day -- die before that organ ever
becomes available.
Organ donors are always in short supply. There are far more people in need of a
transplant than there are people willing to donate an organ.
Most of the organs that are available come from deceased donors. When you fill
out an organ donor card with your driver's license, you're agreeing to donate all or
some of your organs if you die.
A smaller number of organs come from healthy people. More than 6,000
transplants from living donors are performed each year.
You might have wondered about donating an organ -- either to a friend or relative
who needs an organ right now, or by filling out an organ donor card.
Just about anyone, at any age, can become an organ donor. Anyone younger than
age18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian.
For organ donation after death, a medical assessment will be done to determine what
organs can be donated. Certain conditions, such as having HIV, actively
spreading cancer, or severe infection would exclude organ donation.
Having a serious condition like cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart
disease can prevent you from donating as a living donor.
“Anyone YOUNGER THAN age 18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian. (lines 15-16). The
highlighted expression is in the:
