This Is For Conservationists

Posted On

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an electric plane!

          Yes, we finally have an electric plane! It runs purely on electricity, which means it is releases zero emissions. The dream is finally true. At least to conservationists who are *gasp* against cars, trucks, and airplanes releasing greenhouse gases into atmosphere, inducing the runaway greenhouse effect.
            Go watch the plane fly now! It's a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Have you noticed that at some nonprofit hospitals overprice the cost of some things such as CT scans, X-rays, and diabetes test strips? As stated in the main article in the TIME magazine issued on March 4, 2013, this problem may let those hospitals rob a lot of money from you. For example, a patient was charged $333.00 for a chest scan. Medicare makes you pay $23.83. Another patient was charged $24.00 for a 500-mg tablet of niacin. Drugstores sell the same thing at $20.00 —for a pack of 400 of them.  Sometimes, they even charge you for ridiculous things such as the reusable gown the patient uses and the blanket covering him or her, or the make you take more of a thing than needed (a patient was charged $31.00 for using the gown and $32.00 for the blanket). You even need to pay to mark a place using a pen (the same patient paid $3.00 for it). If any of you out there reading this know the answer to this, or would like to discuss about this, please comment!  The magazine issue is in t

Loser Have you ever lost something very valuable to you? Unfortunately, I have lost many things, including something that I considered “priceless to me”. It was worth almost $100, and what’s more, it was my life savings. That day was horrible, especially when my mom said I did not care at all about it.

I was overjoyed! I absentmindedly put my whole life savings in the front pocket of my school bag and walked with my parents in the subway. I kept a good eye on my money. Very soon, we got to our destination. “63 rd Drive, Rego Park. Transfer is available to the – M – and – R – lines. The next stop is 67 th Street,” the artificial voice on the loudspeaker said. We hurried up the escalators and ran to the mall. As we browsed around, my mom bought many things. I looked for interesting thin
