Kiss my Glass Activity:
Matt I played that game that you provided on your like, I thought that they game was really fun, however I don’t know if I did it right, because it was not telling me information. However I did search around on your site and found out some information that i did not know including:
Nearly 90 % of Lung Cancer can be attributed to tabacco and smoking
Also I read a link titled The Useful Cigarette. I also thought that this was really interesting because it gave a list of all the things that a cigarette was useful for, and basically all of it was used for making toxic chemicals, which is very scary. Way to go Matt!

Essay on Oil Spill:
If something such as an oil spill were to happen in Duluth, I think that our lives would be turned upside down. Many of us may not have job, or be switched to something different due to the havoc that it would cause. Nothing would be secure anymore including our health, safety, and job assurance. It was mentioned that the economy in the Gulf States had declined dramatically. Could it be from stigma, that is placed around such a terrible incident, or is it merely just the fact that people cannot get to these places anymore and are concerned about their health because of all the pollution. Truth is it is a combination of the two, and this would be exactly what would happen to Duluth. A downward spiral of event of cancellations and unemployment is what would happen. Many of us like to hang out at Park Point in the Summer, that would be no longer if that were to happen, and what about all the other outdoor things that go on around Lake Superior. Could you imagine not having the lake walk, or even worse Grandmas. Overall it is easy to see that the effects would not be good, and I am thankful that we have not had that problem.

Crossword Puzzle:
Carly I think that you did a really great job putting together your crossword puzzle. I also think that it is a great way to people to learn and remember information. I also found the other links that you included such as the food safety quiz and the food safety in college to be very beneficial to college students like us. Most of us think that food borne illness will not happen to us, but the fact of the matter is that it is a lot more common than we think, and majority of the time it is preventable. After completing your crossword puzzle, I have learned a lot of new information. Some of the things I will definitely try to remember include:
Canned foods with a high acid content, like tomatoes, pineapple and grapefruit, may be stored in the pantry for 12 to 18 months
And that leftovers should be heated to 165 degrees or higher before serving
Thank you once again for creating such a great learning activity
Sam, it's just supposed to show you how Big Tobacco manipulates people into thinking that smoking isn't bad for you and that it doesn't cause health issues. Along with you I also learned a lot of new information that I wasn't aware of prior to doing these activities. These activities were very beneficial for us because it will help us to complete similar activities in the future in our professions. I'm glad you took a lot out of these activities. Nice post.
