Issues that are important to me~

1.) Education~ this is important to me because alot of children in high school and some in junior high are dropping oout of school. every child needs to get a education to succed in this horrible economy. it is very hard to get a great job these days but with a good education it mabye a little easier.

2.)Energy~ This is important to me becasue a lot of Americans are wasteing energy, by their lightbulbs, running water, air condioning. this can be fixed by using solar panels to save thi energy that we are wasteing.

3.) environment~ this is important to me beucase al lot of things are happening to it. some globe warmins are happing anf animals are dieing. a lot of cars are polluting the air, and so are factories. Animals homes are being ruined and they are trying to survie in diffrent habitats.

Information about my bill~ SB 5 My bill is about saving and recyleing things so that we can save our environment and economy. A lot of schools use styrofoam lunch trays for the students. parents use styrfoam plates or cups for partys. these products are being used to much. the bad part about these products are that they are not things tha can be recyled. things that can be recyled are things like plastic, paper, and glass. we need to make some type of product that can be used as the same purpose but it can alos be recyled and not hurt our enviornment.

5 Facts about South Dakota~ 1.)Harney Peak, at 7242 above sea level, is the highest point in the United States east of the Rockies. 2.)South Dakota has an estimated population of 781,919. 3.)South Dakota needs to be a mandatory recylceing state becuase they are not one. 4.)South Dakota has recived more then $42 million dollars for a recovorey act fro enviornmental projects. about $20 million goes to their water systems. About $1.7 million goes to their gases, and some goes to leaking underground pipes. 5.)they have came up with services that conserve our natural resoures.
