Making a Difference
Anyone who has seen the movie Avatar by James Cameron would remember the fight of the Na’vi indigenous people of Pandora to save their environment from the destructive "Sky People." Another aspect that stands out in this movie is the immensely important leadership role of Jake Sully in rallying and organizing the Na’vi to the eventual successful routing of their enemies. Leaders are extremely important in a world where human brains comprehend through categorization. John C. Maxwell notes in his book, Developing the Leader Within You, that leadership traits can be learned. Leadership is rooted in how much one influences others. Teachers influence their students, parents influence children, and students influence other students. Thus teachers, parents and students are leaders in a microcosm of society. All citizens are exposed to the education system. The degree of exposure depends on the level of education to which they aspire. An excellent way to prepare future leaders for the task of protecting the planet is therefore through the education system. My school is a high school, Fleetwood Park Secondary. That school can be improved to prepare future leaders to protect the environment through a simultaneous and integrated approach. The approach depends on changing the infrastructure, decreasing energy and waste requirements, incorporating green principles into the Fleetwood Park Secondary syllabi, and promoting mentorship programs. Changing the infrastructure of the school involves replacing most of the petroleum-fuel-dependent electronics to becoming solar-dependent. The school is situated in the country of Trinidad and Tobago, which is approximately ten degrees north of the equator. Its vibrant tropical climate ensures that solar energy is a dependable and renewable source of energy.
The approach is to all students to be mini-leaders in any environment. Fleetwood Park Secondary can accomplish this by exposing all its students to a manner of living that ingrains the habits and concepts of protecting the environment deep within the student psyche.
Apart from installing solar panels for energy, Fleetwood Park can also decrease its energy needs by opting to use one day in the week for on-line lectures, tutorials or study sessions, where students and teachers are not required to be at the campus. On that day, the campus utilizes only the most essential energy and the students do not utilize any transportation fuel.
The school can request that the government subsidize a drive to grant all new students a netbook or laptop upon registration. All assignments should be mandated to be emailed, not printed; recommended textbooks should be obtained electronically to decrease photocopying; lecture notes should be typed and sent to students, and students should have a program installed in their laptops that allows them to complete handwritten notes during classes electronically rather than in a paper notebook. This decreases the waste generated by paper, by pens, and by printer ink. Fleetwood Park Secondary and the government can specify that all laptop/notebook material should be recyclable, and ensure that all students sign an agreement regarding disposal of these technical devices.
Sustainability and good environmental practices should be listed as mandatory courses for all new students. Fleetwood Park Secondary can also direct that certain subjects, such as chemistry and engineering, should teach green chemistry and green engineering principles and integrate these into laboratory assignments. Creative ways should be formulated to include protection of the environment into other subjects where the link is not immediately apparent. An example would be requesting Spanish students to complete an essay on that topic, or examining the historical events, such as any major oil spill that have promoted the current awareness of our need to remain in harmony with our environment. The school should also encourage active mentorship programs with current leaders in society. For those leaders who are extremely busy, Fleetwood Park Secondary can organize short seminars where the students can interact with them afterwards to supplement an ongoing mentorship program. All the techniques listed above should hopefully expose the average student to good environmental practices that they can implement and impart to others when they leave the university environment. However, Fleetwood Park Secondary would also like to prepare the leaders who have a larger sphere of influence. This is the second approach, which relies on the first for a foundation.

…. that’s a lot of words to read.

hi folks how ya doing? im here to ask a really deep question:
MOstly what i notice in the universe is a couple of things:

1 there is a center or head to everything

2 the universe is made COMPLETELY of energy

3 the bible has many meaning to our connection to god.

4 everything pretty much works the same way

Okay! so God has to be referred to being everything and everything in the universe making god the universe. if the universe is made of energy, and energy can neither be created nor destroyed does this not prove the existing of a some everlasting higher power? Also with the additional fact that god said we were made in his image (we were made in the likeness of the universe). Do we not act like our star? the smallest thing in the world acts like the our solar system (a atom) a center with moving particles rotating it. Even we act like that. In our society we have a center or head to our city (govenor). Even in our own bodies we act this way having a brain that controls everything else of our vital organs.

Heaven? Heaven by definition as often been referend to as a "Infanant connection with God"
and god being the universe does this not mean a infinant connection with the uuniverse? Mosty all religions argue with no knowlenge of the true meaning of all religions getting to that heaven. Muslims argue their way is the infinant connection with the universe and christians argue that their way is the
way to the universe. but which is is?

Durring the time jesus walked the earth. He claimed to have a infinant connection with god, he said he was going to bring heaven on earth and if we follow his teaching we would reach that heaven on earth! Was he trying to say that being god’s(universe’s) chidlren can make you be at peace with yourself, and preform my miricals (heaven on earth)

correct me if im wrong but i think this is the point of all sprituality and Why christianity stuck out more.
@Atheists are awsume: Explain atoms please and what are they made up of?
COMMON misunderstanding:

atom= energy

ATOMS MAKE UP THE UNIVERSE
@Your definition of ‘god’ is everything tht exists. Clearly, everything that exists is ‘god’ by your definition. Just bear in mind that your ‘god’ and god (by its true meaning) are two completely different things, with no similarities whatsoever other than the same name.

@jim: do you not realize we are the remains of the star being formed? no not as a whole we are not big gasses of matter chunked in the universe. If you read my question you would see that we do go my a govornment system simular to the solar system? A head, a boss with people who aby by the rules and are (in a way) controled by the head? In the smallest unit of life (a cell) there is still a round center with revolving particles that serve different puposses for the living organism. In the smallest unit of matter a atom there is a center with revolving particals. In any system (especially man made) there is some head or controler that controls the rest.
@atheits are awsume: Idiot! i finally looked at your question properly! ATOMS ARE THE SMALLEST UNIT OF MATTER AND ATOMS ARE COMPLETELY MADE OF NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE CHARGED PARTICLES=ENERGY!!!! maybe you should learn something

Your definition of ‘god’ is everything that exists. Clearly, everything that exists is ‘god’ by your definition. Just bear in mind that your ‘god’ and god (by its true meaning) are two completely different things, with no similarities whatsoever other than the same name. You have indeed proven a ‘god’ exists, but that has no relevance in the slightest to whether or not a god does (and even less to whether or not the Christian God does).

No, we do not act like a star, and your idea of a head/center or something like that is extremely inconsistent. The only way to unify all your examples under one definition would be to define one as being a thing which has influence over some other things. Even if everything did work this way (it doesn’t), that wouldn’t imply a god’s existence at all.

I’m afraid I don’t see why Christianity stuck out to you, pretty much everything you said directly contradicted it.

"@jim: do you not realize we are the remains of the star being formed?"
Of course I know that (or what you’re trying to get at anyway). What does ‘remains of the star being formed’ mean, just out of interest? The star did a lot of things, what’s so special about its formation that you point out we’re the remains of that specifically? We’re the remains of the star, not the process of it forming. I suppose it doesn’t matter though since it’s completely irrelevant. How does being made of matter that was once part of a star mean we operate in the same way as them?

"If you read my question you would see that we do go my a govornment system simular to the solar system? A head, a boss with people who aby by the rules and are (in a way) controled by the head? In the smallest unit of life (a cell) there is still a round center with revolving particles that serve different puposses for the living organism. In the smallest unit of matter a atom there is a center with revolving particals. In any system (especially man made) there is some head or controler that controls the rest."
And if you read my answer you’d see I’d already responded to that. There isn’t always some dominant power at play with absolute influence over the whole system (in fact, there never is – one factor might play more of a role than others, but to say it’s absolutely in charge is simply wrong), and even if there is that doesn’t imply in the slightest that a god exists.

I can only suggest that if you try to rely on science in order to prove your points then you do these two things: Firstly, check that what you write is accurate. I’m afraid to say that almost every time you’ve referenced science you’ve been incorrect. Secondly, check your conclusion actually follows from it. Nothing you’ve said, even if we were to assume it’s correct, would show or even imply that a god exists, and certainly not a specific one from a specific religion.
An argument can be shown to be flawed by either showing that the conclusion doesn’t follow from the premises, or that at least one of the premises is false. Unfortunately, your arguments can be criticized on both these grounds.

You can not call people idiots or tell them to learn something (when clearly they’re the ones who have) for pointing out that your statements regarding science are wrong. There’s simply no way around the fact that they’re mostly nonsense.
