    I am horrible at biology and my teacher has never helped anyone. He just skims over the material and hardly ever uses the textbook. I’ve been going over past regents and I still don’t feel that confident. Please help. Thank you.

    I had to take the living biology regents exam a few years ago. I hate ny lol. Well basically just go to http://regentsprep.org/ then look through the lessons and take practice tests. Also type in google past living enviroment regents exams. They always ask the same questions. So as long as you can answer most of them you’ll be set

    I want to help the Earth for the people of the future but how would I go about doing that?
    I recycle, I reuse and I reduce but what else can I do? I don’t feel like I’m contributing enough. I don’t want to be known as the douche bag who never did anything for the Earth. Yes, I realize I’m on a computer. Yes, I do feel stupid right now. But it’s for the Earth. :)

    Tell me, fellow YahooAnswerians, what can a 16 year old do to help the environment?

    Thank you!

    We’ve been learning in science lately how human waste and carelessness impacts the environment. It makes me feel so guilty. What are some practical, everyday things I can do?

    The black pill will remove almost all of your imprint, but that is really drastic.

    Just don’t knowingly throw away things that can be recycled, don’t encourage the destruction of critical habitat, or support polluting countries like China and India by purchasing Chinese or Indian made products until Chinese and Indian Factories clean up their pollution.

    I planned on starting to recycle every day items (cans, paper, bottles, etc) around my house instead of being wasteful and throwing them away. This was just so I could feel like I was helping the environment out a little bit. However, I wanted to know just how useful one person’s monthly recyclables are to helping the environment. Like 2 full garbage bags worth per month.

    Best reply by JWrightus:

    The obvious answer is…it depends. It depends how much of what item you’re recycling.

    Recycling plastic is arguably the most important recycling you can do in terms of environmental impact because plastics are not biodegradable. They never decompose. Furthermore, plastics are petroleum-based–they come from the same raw materials we use for fuel.

    Recycling plastic has at least three benefits: It keeps non-biodegradable materials out of landfills and waterways, it provides already-existing materials for packaging, and it reduces the amount of raw materials extracted from the ground.

    Having said that, EVERYTHING you recycle has a large positive impact on the environment. Even just a month’s worth!

    How do liberals feel about improving the environment at the cost of big companies??

    Should the national defense get cut down some?

    How do you feel about marriage and divorce laws??

    How about criminal laws?

    You’ve asked a lot of very general questions.

    1. Not all liberals are environmentalists. Perhaps you should ask how environmentalists feel about the environment vs. big business.

    2. Not all liberals are for cutting the national defense budget. Some of us think it is completely bloated and could be streamlined (as does Secretary of Defense Robert Gates).

    3. Sorry, this is really too broad a question.

    4. Again, way too broad.
