Save Water

I read an editorial on the Dallas News website named "Dallas must conserve more water"

and found it quite interesting. This article is talking about how the community in Dallas and most other cities are cutting back on the use of water. Dallas' main reservoirs, Ray Roberts, Ray Hubbard, Grapevine, Tawakoni, Lewisville and Lake Fork are out of water. The City Council initiated the city of Dallas to the Stage 1 alert, which means that the public must be aware of how much water they are using.The goal of Stage Alert 1 is to get a five percent reduction per gallons a day. They demand that the community should not water for more than twice in a week. The City Council came up with an idea that residents and businesses whose addresses that end in an even number can water on Sundays and Thursdays. While the other half ending in odd numbers are allowed to water on Saturdays and Wednesdays. They cannot however water between 10am and 6pm. I think we have it easy because in other cities like Allen and Forney, they only get to water twice a month.

This is leaned towards the residents and businesses in Dallas, Austin, Allen, Forney and many other cities in Texas.

I agree with this because we need to step up and do something about this drought. 

There is no idea of knowing when this lack of water will come to an end, but the best thing we can do is to be vigilant and conserve as much water as we can.

Texas Educators

I found an interesting article on the New York Times website under the Texas Tribune. This article talks about Texas educators encouraging students like us, to pursue two-year college degrees ( associates ).  It says, “Students throughout Texas are amassing college credits without knowing whether they will lead to employment, and many face serious debt when they graduate.”  I think this article is worth reading because there are many students just like me trying to get a degree of their profession. However, so many degrees fall in the lines of two years and four years, you never know if you can land a job or not…because the length of your degree might not even matter.
