W00t!
Travis and I are doing the chess club now, so far just the two of us have been practicing during tutorial, the first two game he won cause I was just so curious as to what move he would make sweatdrop but the game after those two I had fun with it and chopped out each and every one of his pieces before I went for his king. But DANG IT! He still had a pawn left over emo I'll get him next time.. emo
w00t! today was a very special day, October 2! ^^ Can't really put why in my journal and all that, but ya! "lunch" at Travis house! ^^ Joey, emotional buddy after school and all that, very interesting. I was late to class since I was at Travis's house, but he was nice and drove me right up to my class, and I got away with it since we had a sub and all, the door alarm went off and everything and she didn't notice. I'm just cool like that! ^^ whee
now, WORK!
1. I favor global population size reduction, since at our current population the earth is unstable. To many people live in poverty, disease and many other unfair and unsanitary or realistic living standards. Aside from that, we are also burning up the Earths resources way to fast, from coal and oil, fresh air and water, and even the our fellow living creatures such as pandas, bengal tigers or gorillas. This does not mean humans need to be killed, Just need to set a child limit per family (Such as each family is only allowed to produce one to two children) till population reaches an equal balance between human consumption and the Earths resources output and recover time.

2. From my understanding of the cycles of matter, it suggests that current and future landfill sites could turn into future 'super fuel' sites. Examples of such useless material become highly valuable in the future come from products such as coal. Coal use to be prehistoric 'trash' that was useless and in it's original form today would seems useless as a fuel source, but upon sitting in collected sites for thousands of years, they transformed into a highly valuable fuel source, coal, which we are now running out of. The Cycles of matter, or that nothing ever goes away, just changes, might suggest that landfill sites might become future 'super fuel' harvest sites.

3 The three most critical important environmental issues are lack of human awareness of human actions, decrease and extinction of animal populations, and overuse of natural resources. Lack of human awareness is the largest critical issue since without knowing how there actions are having a bad effect on the environment, those people can not change. They need to become aware of there actions before they can learn to prevent, and hopefully later correct them in the future. Another major issue is the decrease and in some unfortunate events, the extinction of animal species, since each creatures has a unique place in the food web and a loss of anyone throws the web into a permanent misbalance and severely harms other creatures and usually results into the threat or extinction of another species. Overuse of natural resources is become more of a threat since, once they are all used up, we won't have anymore, and current machinery is hard to replace with new ones that use a different resource, which is usually less effective or will eventually create the same problem.
