Energy Conservation is the Key:







This video is about an interview by Madison Hartke, she is the one who interviews Lisa Jackson about Earth's international day. Lisa Jackson is a very important member of the EPA ( Enviormental Protection Agency ), she explains the things that are affecting the planet , she talks about all the pollution in the rivers, the haze( contamination) in air ( sky) that sometimes we couldn’t even see mre that 1 or 2 blocks. She is telling us how was EPA formed, how does it work and what EPA is doing to protect the world.

My opinion: my opinion is that EPA is a very nice institution that is trying to help earth, this is a big reasponsability. I think all the people, the kids, etc should try to do the same as EPA is doing because we are letting our ¨enviorment¨ die or finish, if we dont do something for heliping our planet Earth will be Extingue.

Gymnastics







Gymnastics is a sports that involves performance of exercises that depends in physical strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, balance and grace. There are two types of gymnastics: gymnastic Olympic and artistic gymnastics, the acrobatic gymnastics, Rhythmic gymnastics, Display gymnastics, Aerobic gymnastics, etc. The Olympic gymnastics depends in working in uneven parallel bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and vault. The artistic gymnastics depends in doing a dance in the floor exercise with balls, arcs etc. The acrobatic gymnastics often referred to as acrobatics, "acro". It is used to perform routines with the heads, hands and feet of their partners. The discipline of rhythmic gymnastics is competed only by women (although there is a new version of this discipline for men being pioneered in Japan, see Mens rhymetic gymnastics),and involves the performance of five separate routines with the use of five apparatus—ball, ribbon, hoop, clubs, rope—on a floor area, with a much greater emphasis on the aesthetic rather than the acrobatic. Display gymnastics enables people of all ages and abilities to participate in performance groups of 6 to more than 150 athletes. They perform synchronized, choreographed routines. Troupes may be all one gender or mixed. There are no age divisions in general gymnastics. Aerobic gymnastics involves the performance of routines by individuals, pairs, trios or groups up to 6 people, emphasizing strength, flexibility, and aerobic fitness rather than acrobatic or balance skills. Routines are performed on a small floor area and generally last 60-90 seconds.
I like it very much because it calms me . For me it is very relaxing.
