Earth day

I am trying to find out when the earth day,begun and why so that i know what i am supposed to do.
I f you are a college student,the school are having a clean up day to honor this day.

So Senator Gaylord Nelson is the founder of Earthday.It started in 1962 but for a period of seven years.The idea came to him because the state of the environment then and i guess its more troubling now.According to envirolink his problem was that the environment issue did not matter in the "politics of the country."So he wanted the issue o be in the political limelight which led him to want to persuade The then President,president Kennedy "to put the issue into visibility."

So it is all about the environment and conserving it.Keeping a clean environment,the air and everything.Also the idea of going green

Glamour n chic'ness

I was just wondering about some fashion ideas.I have also heard a lot about this topic from my friends.
So i think it would be pretty not to match things up this summer.Like lets say wearing a green tank top and pink sandals.Another thing you could do the same color for everything then a splash of a different color for shoes.Try also matching just maybe you purse and earrings but all the of your attire different color.You can also wear something like a yellow to with a blue Caprice but make sure u also wear a blue pin or necklace.Try colors that you normally don't wear together.Like pink and blue.

I think Michelle Obama is a good example of people who not afraid of being chic and comfortable.

Jersey shore show drama

Jersey Shore is a reality show on MTV.It has created a lot of controversies for depicting Italian American in a negative way.The cast is mainly Italian American.I was just wondering,what is the problem is they are portraying themselves that way.It would be very bad if it was being acted by a different people.The most controversial thing is the MTV use of the term GUIDO'S or Guinettes which is perceived by Italian American as "pejorative word."

Another controversial thing about the show is from the local peoplee of Jersey shore where the show takes place.The locals feel like they show portrays the in a negative light.The cast are not residents of Jersey shore.

Also there was an incident where one of the female cast was punched in the face by a guy at a bar.The show is also accused of promoting tanning.

Some advertisers like Domino's pizza and America insurance pulled after the debut episode of the show.Domino representatives realized after watching the sh0w content wasn't in keeping with what they are all about.

Dell also pulled out their ad.

WALKING BILLBOARDS

I just came across this term today;walking billboard.I was just wondering how many times i have become one.A moving billboard.When i wear a shirt that has the brand name on it,do i even think about it?Is there anything wrong with it.

I have mixed feelings with that.I don't really know,but after my teacher talked about it today in class i kinda feel like i will not wear those shirts again.Why am i advertising for the anyways?

Whenever there is a charity walk or a run,company's get a good chance to advertise their products using the walking billboard method.They will make sure they put their brand names on every t-shirt.So basically they sponsor the walks and advertise too.Not bad,but it feels awkward wearing a t-shirt that has brand names on every corner.You have them n your back,sleeves,on your chest and everywhere else.And all the participants always have to wear them and keep them.What a good way to help and advertise.

No more sardines?

I just read an article this morning in AP saying how one of the sardine plants that is in Maine will soon be closing down.So sad because 130 workers will be losing their jobs.And i just learned that stinson seafood plant was the only plant left.My friend just told me that the plant is closing down down because of quota cuts.

The first cannery opened in 1875 in Maine.for details on the story go to http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100414/ap_on_bi_ge/us_so_long_sardines

Face BOOK ruining careers

Is this ethical?Well everyone has their own ethical codes.But some ethical codes are disturbing.I just read an article on yahoo and i was alarmed at how these sites can be useful and life threatening if used inappropriately.
The advice was as usual know what to post and not.Another thing is that be careful about what your friends post on your wall.If you are skeptical about it just delete ASAP.

They also talked about not complaining about your job on face book which i have seen people doing a lot.I have always thought about it as being not very clever.It might cost you your job.

Also spare your boss pictures off you drunk and falling on the floor.Not professional.

So people whatever you do.Be smart.Think about.Also check on you privacy buttons and decide who should see what.

Invasion on privay....spit spokeo

If you thought the social network media is getting out of hand,please check out spokeo.com.It dangerously crazy.I don't like it at all.Its a search people website.This is how it works.listen to this video.http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoz_T_uSxjw.So basically this is how it works,you just enter you email and password and find out what your friends are doing.Spokeo gets the information from different social networks,almost 36 including facebook,pandora,flickr etc. and putting them all together on one page.Other sites are business sites,phone book sites etc.They claim that its all public information.

But thinking about what people can do after getting all info,it's scary.The site shows information about your neighborhood,household and their names.I really don't know how this site is running because i think it is very unethical,for the people who created it and also of the people supporting it.So much damage can come out of this site.People pay to get more information about you.Isn't that crazy?



But the good thing is some info is not true,sometimes they have it wrong or if you are lucky your info doesn't even show up.Bad news though sometimes they have your photo and all correct info about you and if the person searching for you wants to find out more they pay a less that 3 $ a monthly fee to get more info.Creepy right.



But Good news again is that you go to their privacy bar and follow instructions to get your name off the site.If i were you i would definitely do it.
