Life in a Day

Today in class, we saw a very interesting video about life. In the video we can observe different scenes that we experienced every day. I did like the video because its funny how all the scenes that appear are things that we do in real life. If we really think about, life's a routine. We do the same things over and over. Sometimes we might do different things, but it's still the same stuff. It all starts at day light, thousands of people interacting with each other. The message in this video is that everyday for every person, is different and in the video we see what other people experience or see. This video really made me think a lot.

The "chunks" that I found very powerful from the video were when people were interacting with each other, and people exercising. It is very powerful because that's what most of people's routine is. Most people exercise and work every day. That's what happens almost everyday, its a routine that people do. That's a great example in the video because that's really Life in a Day.

Investigation

Today in class we worked on our project about fuel efficiency, and about our transportation and the gas we waste etc. I discovered how to measure how much to I waste of fuel, and how much fuel I waste by walking, using an electric bicycle etc. For example, by walking I use 14.8629.
By using an electric bicycle I use 19.4805 and by bus I use 565.665. This really makes me think about really using cars, because I'm really wasting a lot of money, and also i'm not helping the environment at all. We really should try to considerate more of wasting fuel and money. We should really safe more.

Fuel Sufficient


Have you ever wondered how many liters of gas we use only by driving small distances?
In my case, we use our cars for everything. To going to school, going to Galerias etc. My mom uses her Maxima car and only from my house to la Marina,( my school ) we waste 1610.388 $ per year. On the other hand, there's my dream car, which is an Infiniti. I seriously love that car is so beautiful. It is worse for me to have the Infiniti car because it uses 1701.297 $ per year. Which really is not very good. Now that I did the result I figure out, that if I have my dream car, it will be worse than have the car I use right now, because I'll definitely waste more money.
