In my opinion the Global Warming presentation affects the way I treat used glass-ware and soda cans today. From hearing during the presentation that even recycling one bottle or soda can can help cut back on the amount of time and cost that it takes to make another bottle or can in a standard production line. This presentation makes me think about wanting to recycle more and help the environment every time I drink from a glass or a soda can. The video that was played during this presentation was a good act of public duty that shows what every person can do to help out and participate in keeping the environment safe and clean. Next time I drink from a glass or can I will be sure to recycle it and do my part in helping clean up the environment on piece at a time.

Given the pros and cons about Skiing vs. snowboarding I am starting to emerge on the side that snowboard is better. From reading many medical reports about both snow sports there have been more serious injuries from skiing. The recent study is 1 in 50 ski accidents result in death and compared to snowboarding there is a 1 in 200 chance that people will get killed. After reading those medical documents I looked more in-depth of why the results came out that way. One document coming from a doctor said due to the two independent ski's that there is two times the risk of a fatal crash compared to being strapped into one solid board. Also the doctor stated that with two feet strapped into the board that it was more safe when crashing compared to having the two separate ski's. From my personal experience of doing both I trust my snowboard more because there are not as many moving parts that can fatally injure you.

The topic I chose was snowboarding vs. skiing which is better?. This topic is a very hot topic right now many people state many opinions about their own experiences. Also there are many debates about the kind of injuries that each can have and even relating some skiing accidents to death. Through reading some medical reports there have been a lot more injures in skiing than just minor injuries in snowboarding. From this I conclude that snowboarding is better for right now from all the research I have found thus far. From medical evidence being strapped into a board with less movement that you are less likely to get more serious injuries. With the reports about skiing the free motion of each ski can cause much more injuries because of more moving parts. Many people's opinions have led me to the conclusion that it is just a game of preference between skiing and snowboarding. Where skiers run fast and snowboarders are out there to enjoy the slopes. I have both skied and snowboarded and my opinion gas been that snowboarding is way better
