Matthew Modine is perhaps best known for his roles as Private Joker in Full Metal Jacket, as the title character in Birdy and as Police Commissioner Foley in The Dark Knight Rises. He has worked with some of the world’s most respected directors including Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Alan Parker and Christopher Nolan to name a few. Stay tuned…he has many more cool film projects coming down the pike!
Modine brings a fresh and optimistic perspective to environmental action and is a role model and inspiration for sustainable living. His energy is contagious and he is full of positive, simple things we can do to make a real difference to our planet. He walks the walk!
The environmental issues we face globally are immense, but the good news is that there are positive, creative solutions to deal with these problems. Through a combination of scientific research and personal action, each of us can change our living and consumer habits to live more sustainable lives. Sometimes it feels like, “Can I really make a difference?” The answer is yes. And when you do, your decision can impact someone else to live a more environmental and sustainable lifestyle. And when millions of like-minded people work together, wonderful things are possible.
1. Make your bike your go-to transportation
It is no secret that motor vehicles are among the biggest contributors to climate change. Choosing to bike more is one of the most important things we can do to have an immediate, positive impact on the environment. In addition to the environmental benefits, cycling saves money and makes you healthier. Three hours of biking per week can reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke by 50%. It’s also much more fun than spending time stuck in traffic! Learn more here:http://www.
2. Support relevant scientific research
Protecting the planet involves participation. In addition to the hundreds of things that we can do personally, it’s essential that we support critical scientific research. For example, I support the Weizmann Institute because they’re working on projects such as: using algae to create environmentally friendly biofuel and developing a sustainable hydrogen fuel technology without any harmful byproducts. Find a group you like and support them. You can find out more about the Weizmann Institute here:http://www.
3. If you do have to drive, drive smarter
If you’re seeking a new car, look for the most fuel-efficient vehicle possible. Turn off your engine if you plan on idling for more than 10 seconds. Plan the best routes before you travel. Choose destinations closer to your home. Make a list of things you need and try to combine trips. Carpool whenever possible.
4. Wash clothes in cold water and line-dry
According to the Department of Energy, 90 percent of the energy used for washing clothes is used to heat the water. Line-dry your clothes whenever possible. If it isn’t, consider vacuuming your dryer every six months or so. Lint can build up in your dryer’s hose, increasing your dryer’s energy output by up to 30 percent and creates a fire hazard.
5. Guard your groundwater
There is absolutely no substitute for clean, drinkable water. There are easy things we can do to ensure that this precious resource is better protected. Limit showers to 5 minutes or less. Try to never use toxic chemicals around your home. Pull weeds! Don’t use chemicals to kill them. Remember, what we do to the earth we also do to ourselves! Properly dispose toxic substances like unused chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and paint. Don’t EVER dump them down the toilet or sink! Support relevant scientific research done by people like scientist Brian Berkowitz of the Weizmann Institute. Berkowitz uses MRI techniques, like those used to study the body, to measure how fluids flow underground and is working on a new technology to stop pesticides and other toxins from entering into groundwater.
6. Know where your trash goes
Take a tour of your local water treatment plant or public landfill. What you’ll discover is that garbage does not simply disappear once it leaves our homes. All garbage goes somewhere. Human wastes have a tremendous impact on the environment. Visiting these facilities will open your eyes and remain an important reminder to be more conscious of what you throw in the trash and put down the drain. Composting is terrific way to dramatically reduce the amount of household trash that ends up in a landfill. Properly disposing of batteries and electronics is also critical. Many progressive electronics stores offer receptacles for this toxic/recyclable waste. The best solution for reducing waste is to make less. Buying bulk reduces wasteful packaging (and you save money!). Using a cloth grocery/carrier bags is one less plastic bag in a landfill!

Engaging and relevant: Whenever the human resource ministry decides a curriculum, they do proper research and frame the syllabus accordingly. For example, psychology taught to high school students will be different from those taught at the graduate level and the postgraduate level.
Thanks for sharing this post.
留学生论文代写的时候,把大纲分成不同的文件,然后展开每个文件,添加数据,说明细节。写初稿的时候,不要纠结于剪辑。不要停下来选择一个更好的单词或短语,或者改进句子的结构。尽可能彻底地写下您的看法,留下编辑和修改。写论文前不要太担心。其实在您开始写论文之前,您通常已经有了实验数据,实验记录,实验设计,与结果相关的图表等等。您所要做的就是把这些部分组合成一篇综合论文。完成提纲后,作者建议我们从方法一节开始。目的:尽可能明确地提供足够的细节和参考,以便其他研究人员可以评估和复制你的工作。
thanks for info
