Planet Earth

1. To me sustainability means how well something endures and can put up with an action from something else.

2. We would need 4 Earth's to sustain everyone if they were all like me. I can add that to the reasons I want to become a vegetarian.

3. A step that I think could contribute a lot to saving a resource on our planet would be to turn off lights if they aren't necessary or unplug an electronic device if it does not need to be charged. This would save power which could help the power companies with how many natural resources they use to make the power we all use. I think this would be one of  best steps I could take because the resource I use the most is power.
My score the first and only time I took the Plagiarism Quiz was a 13 out 13.
I feel that plagiarism is a very bad thing to do and there is no reason that you should be plagiarizing someone else's work. I also feel that people who plagiarize should be taught the proper way to cite sources. Plagiarism is a very risky act and can get you into a lot of legal and educational problems. I try to avoid plagiarism at all costs for those reasons. Plagiarism is easy to avoid and very simple to cover up.

Starting the game

Devyion Smyre

3 things I know:
- The surface of the Earth is mostly composed of water.
- Earth is known as the blue planet because of this.
- The primary species on Earth that is in control of lots of things are humans.

2 things I would like to learn this semester:
- How could natural disasters be prevented.
- What metal is the Earth primarily composed of.

1 question I have about the Game
- Could we possibly finish and get 10,000 XP before the end of the semester.
