Conserve natural resources and preserve the environment

April. 23. Tue

 

    Nowadays, conserve natural resources and preserve the environment became big issue in the world because of the global warming. Many ways are mentioned as a solutions, but I want to introduce one method-'ANABADA' of the environmental movements in Korea. Especially, there is issue of the environment because of lacking land spaces.

'ANABADA' movement, it is in Korean, is meaned a doing as conserve, doing as share, doing as exchange and doing use again. 

 

   'A' - doing conserve everytime; there are changed very quickly today, so we are wanting newer items. Generally we are buying new items instead of old one even if their old things are not broken. How often do you purchase new phone without your phone's problems? How many unwearable clothes do you have in your closet? How many students buy again their school supplies as needlessness? We shouldn't spend money or things without any reasons. If we think one more time before we are buy new one and throw your belongs away, it makes to conserve the environment.

Reducing of using water while you are taking shower, brushing your teeth or cleaning dishes, are also important ways of 'A' movement.

   'NA' - doing share if we can do; If you have more than you need its, you should give or lend them to your friends or neighborhoods who have a plan to buy the items. First you provide its for them and you will get what do you need one next time. Sharing acting is a good movement for your relationship with your people.

   'BA' - doing exchange stuff; When you have items what you don't use anymore, you consider to exchange the item with your friend's things that are not necessary to them but you need. You can also sell or put them up for auction and make money.

   'DA' - doing use again; do not throw your things away immediately. Before you discard the thing in a dump, please think one more time that is really unuseful anymore to you or your family. If you predict you would buy other thing in a instant, you should keep them and use once more.

 

    Besides, the governments in some of countries recommend to recycle trash. The government collect used cans, papers, plastic bottles or batteries for recycling. And then recycling companies produce them to new other items. It is also good movement of the preserve the environment.

We should reduce to use disposable cup, dishes or plastic wraps for our children and grandchildren. And Do not forget about the Earth is not exist only for us.

HURRICANES and TORNADOES

April. 23. tue

   

   Hurricanes and Tornadoes are very strong nature's disaster in the world. Both of them are causing a heavy demage to us without expecting, but there are little bit different between them. Tornadoes are strong winds from the land in the spring or early summer and reaching 480 kilometers per hour lasting up to an hour. On the other hands, hurricanes - is called typhoons are large storm from the ocean in summer or late falls and the are is 16 to 64 kilometers wide. Sometimes, wind speed of the tornadoes is more strong than typhoon and it can be over 150 meter per second. Even though they occur different way, they can destruct everything where they are reached area.

 

    For prevention of damage from tornadoes, we should pay attention predicting about a tornado watch and tornado warning. The tornado watching delivered news for us about the tornado are possible in the area. And the tornado warning is a caution about the tornado can be strong enough destruction in the area. Unfortunately the weather center cannot predict exact path of hurricanes with satellites technology because the hurricanes change their directions several times. While the news is been delivering warning of the hurricanes, they are often change path.

 

    Hurricane and tornadoes devastate are where they are reached. Especially tornadoes can lift cars, uproot trees, destroy buildings and houses in the land. In hurricanes, they can die slowly to move over cool water and never hit land. Even if they can be died slowly, shores are extremely devastated by them.

Besides, the tornado is most shown in the United States and especially in the Midwestern and southern states because it is appeared dry area. And hurricanes form over Atlantic, Pacific or Indian oceans near from equator.

    If you live in the dry district or shore, you should pay attention about hurricanes and tornadoes. When you watch about the warning of them, you should find shelter or refuge until they clam.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990

April 11 thursday

In the Unites States, there is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) law since 1990. The ADA law protects people who has disabilities at their work. According the report, employer must hire the people or can't reject their chance of being a employee because of disabilities. And also the employers have to help the employees that they can perform easily at the work. I think it is very resonable law because I disagree the people become difficult get their job even thought they are professional in the field.
 

When I was listening the report, I was surprised few of things. Companies, who are hire people with disabilities, must provide special things for them.

First, the companies plan renovation of their building environment for the people. For example, Brian who was become disabilities by a car accident, his company had to make a ramp for a wheelchair at a parking space and a cafeteria. Furthermore, the company was changed their copy room and his office also for Brain that he can use easily everywhere at his work. His office was planed special room, cabinets and shelves were made conveniently for him. He didn't need to help others when he is working due to his company's care.

Second, the company accepted his flexible schedule. If he wanted to visit doctor, he asked changind about his working day and also he could work on the weekend instead of regular days.

After I listened about ADA, I thought about my country. Even though we also have a system or law for the people, our companies don't like that because the law is not efficient. I hope this law will be spreaded every counties.

How emotions can affect person's health

2013. April 08

Before people became ill cause of disease, they don't know well how emotions can affect their health.

Most people want to be healthier and they try to keep their conditions as much as good. Some people take vitamin pills, few of people exercise everyday or the others take relaxed time that they enjoy their habit. However, I want to ask to you - do you try to feel good or smile for your health?

Our bodies send a signal to us about the body's conditions before we get sick. In my case, I feel down and I don't talk much as usual before I feel painful my body or have a cold. It might notice to me that I will be sick and caution to me be careful. So, when I receive the notification from the emotion, I try to smile and activity because I want to prevent ill. I believe that emotion and body are conversation each other. Many people might have experience as like me. It is shown a body and emotion are connected closely. Therefore, if we think about negative about our health, it will be like that.

For example, stress or bad memories may make to occur ill to you. If some people have a incident, they think about the event continuously. They get a stress because of the memories, they can lose their appetites. It is stressful for them and it makes suffer indigestion to you. And also, if you work too hard, you'll build up stress and ruin your health. You should not make a stress because it is one of emotions can affect your health.

As a result, the emotion make to you are healthy or painful. So, you should reduce stress, but keep happy virus usually for your health body. Please remember, positive thought will bring luck and negative thought will obstruct good to you.
