Hello group! My name's Rachel and i'm in Mrs. Cavanaugh's 1st period **__and__** Mrs. Stanford's 5th period, so i'm doing both the psychological and historical parts of this project. I'm still a little confused as to how they want me to do this, but i'll figure it out. Anyways...i've already started researching a little bit, but i'm not sure how the group wants to split this up. Please post something to let me know. Thanks!

Hi, my name is Anderson and i'm in second period of Mrs. C's class. Splitting this up could look like this: Rachel since you are doing both historical and psych you could pick two of the topics to do both the above parts (part in red). Then I would do the psych part for three and then the other history student would do the historical part for the same three that I'm doing. Let me know if this sounds good group members!  Hey, it's Rachel. That sounds fine, i'll work on voting and recycling. What day do we want to try and have the research finished by, so we can make the powerpoint?

Hey, I'm Lacie and I'm in Ms. Standford's 3rd period. I doesn't matter to me how we split this up. Let me know which ones you guys want and I'll do whatever is left.

Okay so it looks like Rachel is doing voting and recycling for psych and history, I'm doing the psych part for Gas prices, greenhouse gases and endangered species, so Lacie you are doing the history part for gas prices, greenhouse gases and endangered species.

Okay that sounds good. What is our deadline on this?  I'm pretty sure that the project is due for both classes next Wednesday, the 28th. How are we going to put our powerpoint slides together? I've already started on my four. Do we need to make our own deadline so we can get all of our info together? I will add my powerpoint to the page tomorrow morning, then all of yall will add your slides. I was thinking of doing the history slide for the topic then the psych slide for the topic. -Anderson

which topic? and who is going to the title page and the conclusion page?

http://www.aip.org/history/climate/othergas.htm http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/society/greenhouse.htm these are some good websites dealing with the history of greenhouse gases. the first one speaks of the discovery of the gases and the second one deals with the gases actions, causes and effects. -lacie

Hey, it's Rachel. I finished my powerpoint this morning and posted the link at the top of the page.  Thanks Rachel! Lacie here is my information that I collected, sorry for taking so long. For some reason I thought that I was doing my own powerpoint. I'm really sorry! Thanks for the information, but I also need the other two topics.

http://virgil.azwestern.edu/~dag/lol/SocialTraps.html -this one talks about social traps, and then there is a part on social traps with gasoline prices in the third or fourth paragraph. It also talks about the tragedy of commons which you can use for Endangered Species. For gas prices you can talk about the car situation and how you dont think about buying a gas efficient car when the prices are low and instead buy a nice fancy SUV.

I couldn't really find pages for endangered species and greenhouse gases. So you could use the following examples that I thought of: **Greenhouse gases-** We dont think about emmitting greenhouse gases because it doesnt seem like a big deal and there is no short term effect, but in the end it could cause damage to atmosphere and ozone.
 * Endangered species-** When animals are not endangered we dont think about killing them (hunting and fishing) or even destroying habitat, but they end up on endangered species list due to the fact that there is no short term effect. You could use the buffalo as an example and talk about how the indians killed a lot and then in 1800s they were being hunted. (use a picture of a bison and then here is a website [|http://ed.fnal.gov/entry_exhibits/bison/endangered.html)]

ok thanks, sorry i'm taking so long to get this to you but here are some links for the history of gas prices. this first one only has a little bit of information but the picture is the main aspect. is shows the rise in gas prices from 1972 to may of this year. also, if you click on links on the left of that page you will get more information on OPEC and foreign countries output of oil. the second link is another chart showing the change of prices over a few decades. http://zfacts.com/p/35.html [|http://www.randomuseless.info/gasprice/gasprice.html also, back in the 70's, gas prices went up because of the mideast oil crisis and the letters in your license plate depended on the days you were able to fill up. http://cr.middlebury.edu/es/altenergylife/70's.htm

and most of the stuff i'm finding on endangered species isn't necessarily about the history of the species, it's more about the endangered species act. but, i'll find what i can. first off, the dictionary definition of endangered species is "a species at risk of extinction because of human activity, changes in climate, changes in predator-prey ratios, etc., esp. when officially designated as such by a governmental agency such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/endangered%20species

in "1966:Inspired by the plight of the whooping crane, Congress passes the //Endangered Species Preservation Act//. The law authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make a list of endangered domestic fish and wildlife and allows the Fish & Wildlife Service to spend up to $15 million per year to buy habitat for listed species. It also directs federal land agencies to preserve endangered species habitat on their lands "insofar as is practicable and consistent with their primary purpose." Other agencies were encouraged, but not required, to protect species." http://www.ti.org/ESAHistory.html

here are some pictures of different endangered species you can use: http://eelink.net/EndSpp.old.bak/Images.html i'll probably put more stuff on here during glass so if there is anything else you need just let me know. thanks! -lacie.

Thanks lacie, just to let you know i have backgrounds for our slides and i am going to format my powerpoint like rachel's and then start to put them together tomorrow. I'm using the same word art as rachel, the font she is using is papyrus. So you can leave your slides' background blank or use these pictures for the background.
