I’m writing to Lisa Darger, Coordinator of Sustainability from the office of Sustainability. A coordinator is who organize events, activities and arrange people in order to make sure they work together effectively. Since Darger is Coordinator, she can make all the changes and add new facilities to the recycling and littering activities.

I think she will be interested in my letter because it is responsibility if there is issues about litter or recycling is occurred, and I’m sure she will be happy to help me about my issues about littering on campus.

In sustainability: The New Holy Grail, Miller argues that people who question the United States ability to become more sustainable devalue American innovation. The arguments made throughout his article however seem one sided and aggressive. Millers out view on things are from a religious outlook making his points seem unreliable.

In the novel, “All Fall Down” by Ally Carter, the themes included believing in yourself and feminism. The theme to believe in yourself was evident in the book when Grace would not back down from searching for the scarred man. Furthermore, despite people calling her crazy and saying that her mother’s death was an accident, she still continued to find evidence to prove people wrong and to bring the killer to justice. When people were disagreeing with her on page 111, she said, “But I do know. I know what, and I know who, and I know that I was right that night in the Iranian embassy.” Because she believed in herself and took action for what she believed in, she was able to find out more than she could have ever known if she were to conform with

Moreover, motion sensors and programmable control panels are implemented in A&F’s offices, distribution centers and stores to provide significant energy savings (“Conservation & Energy Efficiency”).

When I was five years old I began school. In Kindergarden we learned basic things like letters, numbers, and how not to be fully engulfed in flames. For some reason, 2004 was the height of anti-fire education in Missouri and before I knew how to tie my shoes I knew that if I ever was ablaze, to cover my face, fall to my knees, and roll back and fourth. This is what my institution placed serious value upon and because I was a student of that institution I also placed serious value upon it.

Since I was little, I had love for science. It is the subject that interest me because there’s too many interesting topics. Science make us wonder how things work and how the world was made. In science there 's too many hypotheses that can be made into proved theories. Now that I’m in college, it has only reassured to me that I do love science.
