That may seem like a lot, but for the same size nieborhood in 2010 our machines emmited about 964 pounds of carbon dioxide!! now THATS a lot.

It's not cool that they do that and it's gotten you used to playing around a lot. Today focus on the blogging challenges for Week 5 and 6. For week 5, adding images, I'd like you to start with this blog. Find creative commons images to add to this one (view the tutorials starting with #7 (iPad Tutorial 3 Part 1) to see how to add images without having to upload if you don't remember. Then add images to some of your other blogs to make them even more exciting to read. Once you've added images to a bunch of your blogs you can start the Week 6 challenge. So your goal is to work on these challenges for the whole period. May the force be with you.
