Article #1

There is a new study that relates allergies to global change. Researchers have said that it is especially true for people who suffer from pollen allergies. Research from a Denver allergist by the name of Richard Weber says that trees, grasses, and weeds bring out more pollen over more weeks when temperatures and carbon dioxide levels rise. Weber and his colleagues at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology suggest that people with allergies and asthma can slowly help with the climate change by driving less and using energy-efficient appliances. They also suggest that you change your environment in your house. Some suggestions are to reduce indoor molding, undertake pest control procedures, and clean your house more often.

I don't totally agree with this article because I've been hearing that there is no such thing as global warming, and am starting to believe that. But, I do agree that the environment you spend your time in (such as your house) needs changes, and can help maintain your allergies.

About Me

I'm Randi. I graduated from Chandler High School last May, I loved it there, and still miss it. I'm eighteen, and a freshman at MCC. I love to swim competitively, but had to give it up recently to get a job so I can make more money. I also enjoy to read, write, swing dance, hang out with friends, and watch movies.

The changes that I am hoping to make are to exercise more. I used to ride my bike nightly, but I just stopped doing it for some reason. My goal is to ride my bike more often, like I used to, and to start doing my weights more often.

There are many topics that I am interested in learning about. I want to learn how to eat healthier and exercise more.
