The document discusses the massive amount of plastic waste accumulating in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Over 7 million tons of plastic debris have collected in this area, with plastic outnumbering plankton 6 to 1. Ingesting or becoming entangled in this plastic poses threats throughout the food chain. However, the document proposes that waste-to-energy technology, which converts waste into a synthetic gas that can be used as fuel, could provide an opportunity to address this problem by cleaning the gyre and producing renewable energy from the collected plastic waste.
this is what we did in class today. we did a power point slide on metaphors. a metaphor is something that is comparing something not using like or as. a metaphor is alot like a simile but you can not use like or as.
This short story describes a tiger with different personality traits. It states that the tiger was lazy, is loud, and is sneaky. The story uses metaphors to characterize the tiger in three sentences with different adjectives.
Café Soleil sources over 80% of its ingredients from local Wisconsin farms within 57 miles to reduce its carbon footprint. This local sourcing represents a 97% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to the average US food travel of 1,750 miles. The café also engages in composting, recycling, and uses eco-friendly disposables and lighting to further reduce its environmental impact.

This very short document contains three phrases comparing different animals' traits: crazy as a monkey, happy as a tiger, and ugly as a camel. It was created by AJ Sudsbury and Muhammad Kang for SERMS in Ramseur, North Carolina, and includes pictures from Pics.tech4learning.com.
The document proposes a plan to increase bicycle commuting among high school students in Madison, Wisconsin. It begins with an outline of the potential benefits of biking to school, including reduced pollution, greenhouse gases, obesity, and car crashes. A preliminary survey found that most students at James Madison Memorial High School live within 2 miles of school and get there by car. The proposed plan would gather more data, educate students on biking benefits, enable biking through infrastructure and discounts, encourage biking with incentives, and assess the program's success in increasing biking rates. Partners like bike shops and organizations could help implement and expand the program.

Rome began as a small village but grew into a powerful republic. It eventually became a large empire under Augustus, controlling most of the Mediterranean. During this period, Christianity emerged and spread within the Roman world, becoming one of the most influential global religions today with over two billion followers.
Micro-robotics involves the field of miniature robotics dealing with mobile robots that are less than 1 mm in size. Early research in the 1970s by U.S. intelligence agencies explored applications for prisoner rescue and intelligence gathering. Advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in the 1980s helped enable further development. Due to their small size, microbots could potentially be used in large numbers for applications such as search and rescue in dangerous environments. One challenge is achieving motion with limited power, though microbots may use small batteries or scavenge energy from vibrations or light. Advances in wireless connectivity now allow microbots to coordinate to perform complex tasks.
