Children's books

Since I'm making a children's book about light pollution, I have been looking at a lot of children's books. There are many centered on "global warming" and "recycling". Here are some photos of titles that I thought were interesting.

Hi Everyone

The following link mostly has to do with our group project on homelessness, but it is a really interesting look into their lives ...

Renewable Energy Map. Also NRDC is a good site to check out anyway.

Hey everyone,

Based on what we discussed in class, what I hear from you guys, and my own person troubles with the current blog system we have, I have a proposal for guys:

I feel the lack of posting is contributed to the following:

- Topics being flooded away
- Hard to keep up on feedback because topics are flooded away
- Login and password kicking you out of your gmail
- Login and password somewhat long and hard to remember
- Hard to look up past posts and information
- etc...

I have created a forum us to use if you would like to try it out. It's late in the semester but better late than never. It can serve as a model for future classes. The benefits are as follows:

- You create your own user name and password and profile. You can update your profile info, link you personal websites / info
- Newest posts update to top, shows who's the latest poster
- Old posts are easy to find and when someone posts, it goes to the top
- For teachers: shows how many posts a specific user has posted to grade class participation
- Other benefit.


So make a login and try to post. Repost your projects and leave feedback for others. If we can get at least one good conversation on a project then it'll have outdone blog already.

Automatic can and pet bottle disposal unit

Hi all,
The first picture below is showing a "small booth" for recycling electronics in a parking center. I think many people had seen this kind of recycling system.




However, the interesting thing is that my friend told me in Korea they have "machines" similar with this one. It is called automatic can and pet bottle disposal unit. It could count weight, size and material to sort objects. Also, people can get money from it.







Here is a link to their website.

when you click the link, it will jump out a video window. the video could explain this function well. Because it's a Korean website so you may not understand.
