Forgot to put this in my last blog

Believer

Trashy

I decided to write about my personal stake in garbage collection.  At this time, I don't see my personal stake in garbage collection any differently than it was before I left my parent's house, other than the fact that I now am responsible for taking out the garbage myself.  However, it's easier to see the amount of trash that I make in a given week, and it's a lot more than I would have expected.  I do not recycle at my apartment, but I do if I'm out with my friends and there's a garbage can and a recycle bin within a few yards of each other.  I really don't have any big reason why I don't recycle at my apartment, other than convenience.  As for my overall feelings for garbage collection, the article had no effect.

Is it sustainable?

For my sustainability topic, I've chosen to write about electric vehicles.  I want to start with the advances in electric vehicle technology as where we are now and discuss where it may or may not lead to.  I also want to talk about the different types of vehicles that are now electric (cars, trucks, trains, etc).  I also want to discuss the benefits of electric compared to staying with oil and gas.  I also want to find out if it is a viable solution to what we have now and what things stand in the way of this change, and if it is possible, how long it will be until the majority of vehicles on the road no longer use oil and gas.

The F word....

When we were assigned this blog in class, the first thing that came into my mind was "food... um... okay".  I had to think a little bit.  What was I going to write about.  There are so many different types of food, and so many different reasons why people eat what they do, whether it's healthy or just plain yummy goodness.  There's only one thing that I could think of that could fit both the health and tastiness and that, of course, is pizza.

Pizza can include all 5 food groups, depending on the toppings chosen.  Those are wheat, vegetables, fruit, cheese, and meat.  You can buy it frozen at the grocery store and cook it yourself at home, or you can order it from your own home and someone will bring it to you hot and fresh right out of the oven.  You can even order it online.  (see here)

Now I know what you're thinking: How can pizza be considered healthy?  Pizza's full of grease and fatty ingredients, right?  Well, that can be true if you order it from the big name pizza restaurants, like Pizza Hut and Domino's to name a couple.  The answer to that question is simple:  Make it yourself.  These days, there are many different healthy recipes for pizza on the internet.  (see here for some examples) 

We all have our favorite types of pizza.  From cheese to pepperoni to pineapple to supreme, there are many ways to top pizza.  You can even choose how you want your crust to be made.  Overall, pizza has to be considered for the food hall of fame.

Things about me....

My name is Jonathon (Jonny) Harmon and I'm 24 years old.  I'm in my second semester at the University of Montana.  I was planning on taking one year off out of high school before going to college, but one year turned into six.  I like most sports, watching and playing, as well as reading and playing video games.  I'm pretty good at the game Rock Band.

As for the type of books I enjoy reading, I like to read books from the fantasy and mystery genres.  My guilty pleasure is teen vampire books (and not just Twilight).  My favorite books are from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, and The House of Night series by P.C. and Kristen Cast.  Other authors I enjoy reading are books from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, and Orson Scott Card.
