Global warming

These days, global warming is getting more attention as a serious problem. According to an anonymous information printed for BIHS 1st grade students, Korean penisula's average temprature has rosen rapidly from 1912. If we go in this pace untill 22C, our Korea would be a tropical country. Now, all we need to do is thinking about solutions to this problem and do them.
There are many solutions for this problem around us. First of all, we should reduce our frequency of using cars. I'm really sorry for taxi drivers, but for saving our Earth, we shuld reduce the number of it. We can use bicycles or public transfortation instead.
Secondly, we should try to reduce the amount of CO2 emition. Korea's CO2 emition is 10th in the world. However, country size is very lower than that result. This means we emit much more CO2 and ruin the environment of our beautiful world than other larger countries which couldn't get the rank above ten. There are many ways to reduce CO2 around us. For example, turn off electric home appliances when you don't use or reduce, reuse, recycle as many as you can.

Reducing soaring rate of average temprature is very important issue. If we can't solve this problem, it can be written apple tree in textbook as an extinct plant in 22th century. Our ancestors leaved the earth safely to us, so we should leave the earth safely to our offsprings, too. Although it is a little annoying to do, if we try to prevent increasing temprature of earth from very trivial things, we can save our earth and bequeath the earth as a good place to live.

Summary- Green building menas a building which consist of materials that have no damage on environment. These days, a number of people try to build these green buildings to save energy and water.The buildings which are facing South and have large windows can accept huge amount of sun light. It makes it possible not only to get heat but also to store them in solar cells and use as aeletricity. And extra energy are be used in other buildings' other systems.Garden on roof can block much more sun light than ordinary roof, and it makes the building cool inside. Also in winter, plants and soil block the heat's escaping.Actually, there is not much water that is able to be drank. So green building use fresh water and they reuse it. For an example, a new library in Santa Monica, California store rain drops and use them as plants' water or toilets' water.Trees in the world are not enough because of deforestaion. So green building use bamboo. Bamboo is a grass, so it grows far faster than other trees. Green building also save our forest.Old thrown away things are able to be used as parts of green buildings as well as environmental sources.There are not so many green buildings now in cities, but many people support them building them. So the number of this type of buildings are increasing. The city would be more healthier and greener.

Comment-It was good for me reading this chapter because I can get hope about our future energy and city. It is a S.F story but actually the green system is installed step by step. If we build green buildings by the way this book said, we can leave much better future for our offsprings. I feel very very good.

Should we use budget to keep cultural heritages or social welfare?

Should we use budget to keep cultural heritages or social welfare?
1104 Kim Se-hoon

Because of many kinds of environmental problems, many cultural heritages are endangered. Also by this, some people say that we should use more budget to keep them safe from disasters, and others say that it would be better if we use the budget for the homeless. In my opinion, keeping cultural heritages are more important. Let's read why I write like this.
First of all, cultural legacies are a piece of each countries' history. It has sprits and souls of the people who endeavored to make our country that we can live now. The expression of our respect, we should protect their achievements.
Secondly, though we use immensity money on saving the poor, if we divide that budget into 1/n(n is the population of the homeless), we can see only a little money they would get. It will only make the many kinds of taxes heavier, instead of saving poor people. Further more, the people who have lived with no working, won't think they should work. They will solve only their immediate problems, not try something hard to earn money.
For third reason, by money which was gotten from tour attractions, the country can use that money for other social problems as well as only for the homeless. We should there are many types of social problems in the world.
In short, I think using the budget for protecting cultural heritages is better than saving the poor. Every work needs money, and the ways we get money is more important than only the money.
