Thermodynamics and Energy Consumption

I think that statement is true because there are ways for people to conserve energy. People have been living with energy problems for a while now and should pay more attention to the amount they use. The thermodynamic reality is that the change in energy of an object is equal to the difference of heat into a system and the work done by that system. In simpler terms it means energy is created by an equal amount of heat added into a system. I think it is not a problem of conserving energy more of ways to conserve energy. Just simply turning off lights when you leave a room or carpooling to work are ways to conserve energy. I believe the world will not run out of fuel or energy but scientists must find ways not to "re-use" energy but conserve energy more efficiently. I don't believe there is a way to re-use energy; once energy is exerted it can't be contained. The new hybrid and electric cars could be great for the world by reducing emissions into the world and by using different sources of energy to power cars. Since cars use most of the fuel the world uses and people believe there is a limited amount the new cars are great ways to conserve. Conservation is the key to make the worlds energy sources last longer. Even though the thermodynamics equation says energy will never run out people still are worried.

Eating Healthy

For my food item I grabbed Honey Maid graham crackers. I counted ten items that I could identify in my own kitchen and then eleven ingredients that I could not recognize. But I'm sure the Soy lecithin and folic acid are very good for you and completely necessary to add in graham crackers. Some natural ingredients are in there like flour, and salt. But then an unnatural ingredient is Thiamine Mononitrate. These unnatural ingredients are not needed in any processed food. Other ingredients are hydrogenated cottonseed oil, riboflavin, and reduced iron. Graham crackers are not the healthiest of items there are and I think that the unnatural ingredients increase

I am not very concerned about eating healthy but am aware of things I can do to help me eat healthy. I will eat healthy for maybe about a day then I just crave sugar. The only thing that helps me eat healthy is that I have never had a hamburger before. Its not that I'm a vegetarian, I have just never tried one. I know that hamburgers are not very good for you so I am not very influenced to eat one. Other than not eating hamburgers I do not take any extra steps to eat healthy. Eating healthy is not a top priority in my life but I do find it important to exercise regularly. Eating healthy is not the only thing needed to become healthy.

About Me

Hello everyone,
My name is Donny Knoll I am in a family of four with one older sister who goes to Sonoma State University. I like all sports and music and are my two real passions. I am taking this course because I need both science credits and this class fit into my schedule. I am taking 14 units with Bio, Astronomy, Pre Calc, and English. I work at the United Artist theaters on Sunrise and Eureka.

I suggest that all the comments are well thought out and easy to understand. As well as everyone being respectful to everyone's comments and hear what their opinion is on the different topics.
