Cigarette smokers are looked down upon more and more in society each day. Smoking used to be allowed everywhere, from restraunts to airplanes, now it is barely allowed outdoors. On FGCU campus there are designated smoking areas, and they are even trying to get rid of those and make it a smoke free campus. Cigarettes are not illegal, they are a personal choice of lifestyle. Smokers are being treated like criminals almost. On campus if you are not in a designated smoking area, you will get a fine of $25 for your first offense.

Blog #5 Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is the impact resources have on global warming from green house emissions. Every individual can make a difference in the carbon footprint by making little changes in their everyday life. Personally one way to reduce the carbon footprint is to take the stairs rather than the elevator. If i have to go up five flights of stairs, there is no reason to use the electricity to call the elevator and have it use more energy to go back up. If I have to go up to the twenty-fifth floor, i am going to use the elevator. If it isn't necessary I'm not going to waste resources. Not only am I conserving energy, I am helping myself out health wise.
