Today,I learned how an organization like WFS helps end world hunger. There are six before the hungry can receive their food. First, WFS would have to find the people. Next, WFS would have to prepare the food which is very simple but, the hungry get very good calories and protein. Also, it only takes about thirty cents to make the food containing oils, salt, and rice. Organizations,all around he world are trying to save world hunger in he places the hungry need it most.

      What happens when all the coal runs out to make peoples energy? In case that happens people could use wind energy or even solar energy , but cars can't run on solar energy because they are too heavy. Wind won't work either because it won't take people in the direction they want to go. That is why people use a variety of ways to get their energy. They get the energy from: coal, wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, and natural gas. Those are all ways people get energy, but in order to get that energy each one has a different process of making the energy. In order to make hydroelectric energy, water flowing through a dam turns a turbine and that generates electricity. Not all processes are that easy, like energy from coal. First, people have to mine the coal, then they have to burn it in order to make energy. In conclusion, someday there will have to be a different way of making energy, that will work, that doesn't hurt the earth.

        You might wonder what is Autodidact ism? Well in case you were wondering it is when you teach yourself instead if being taught by someone else. In computer lab we learned about some people that do that. They learn it for them selves and then teach it to us online. They try to teach themselves however they can. Even some people try to teach themselves about things like will a fortune cookie predict the future or what is an aglet. People all over the world are teaching themselves all the time.
