2. HDMI and A/V cables purchased IRL from a store.

If you need some cables to go with your new electronic purchases, always plan ahead and buy them online from Amazon or a store like Monoprice.com where the prices are more like $12 per cable rather than $72. The quality is usually the same or better, and if you don't believe me, head on over to this heated forum discussion on CNET about why Monster cables are all hype.

8. Buying into diamonds, which are basically an international conspiracy.

14. Expensive olive oil, if you're using it for cooking.

When heated to 300°F, there is no discernible taste difference between olive oil and vegetable oil. Extra virgin olive oil has a very low smoke point of 200° F, which means you risk releasing cancer-causing carcinogens into your food if you cook with it.

16. A $100,000-plus law degree that sinks you even deeper into student loan debt.

21. Prescription glasses or contacts from a real store.

23. Buying things the second they come out.

If you are older than the age of 12, you don't need to be the first person on the block to own a coveted item. Things like gadgets, games, game consoles, and cars go way down in price if you just wait a few months.

24. A materialistic partner who is most likely in love with your money and not with you.

my problem is that when people try hard in games like GTA 5 it gets me really pissed, so my solution is that we buy a moded account and get a lot of money and be a high rank and once were done with that then we wreck the player. If we can buy that then all you have to do is try harder then a try hard

My problem is alot of people go to the beach and throw trash and my solution is to put signs and tell people to stop and clean around the beach .

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When you are enjoying the beach, simple acts such as putting your trash in the proper receptacles and using boardwalks instead of walking across the sensitive dune systems can help keep the beach healthy. Take a "Leave No Trace" approach to prevent and minimize harm to the beach during your next beach outing. The actions will help you enjoy the beach while reducing the impact that you leave.

Stay on Trails and Boardwalks

Example of warning sign protecting dunes and beach grass.

Always use defined trails and boardwalks instead of walking across the dunes. This will help reduce erosion and protect animal and plant species from harm. Keep in mind that beaches are home to many different types of wildlife. Some animals, including sea turtles and birds, use beaches as nesting areas. Other animals may use sand dunes for both food and nesting areas. To avoid disturbing wildlife and plants, observe any signs that identify certain areas of the beach to avoid.

Prevent Trash and Litter Pollution

Any man-made solid material, including trash and litter, that ends up in the ocean is commonly referred to as "marine debris." Marine debris is a problem affecting beaches, coastal waters, estuaries, and oceans throughout the world. You can help prevent trash and litter pollution by making good decisions on land or at sea when disposing of trash and other wastes.

When you are at the beach or outdoors:

Dispose of trash properly in waste and recycling receptacles.

Bring an extra bag with you so that you can bring your trash home if receptacles are not available.

If your children use diapers, be sure to dispose of them properly in a receptacle.

If you are fishing at the beach, be sure to collect and dispose of any broken or used fishing line.

At home, remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize wastes and prevent trash and litter from ending up in the ocean.

Reduce, reuse, and recycle the things you take to the beach. Pack food and beverages in reusable containers whenever possible. This helps minimize the amount of trash that is brought to the beach and reduces the potential for it to end up in the ocean.

Do Not Feed Birds or Wildlife

Seagulls contribute to beach pollution.

Seagulls, birds, and other wildlife can become accustomed to being fed by humans. Feeding the wildlife can cause them to spend more time at popular bathing beaches and leave more waste behind. Bird waste, as well as waste from other wildlife, can increase the harmful microorganisms in beach sand and in the water.

Pick Up after Your Animals

If you bring your animal to the beach, make sure that you pick up any waste they may leave behind. Bacteria from the waste of dogs, horses or other animals can contribute to poor water quality and pose a risk to swimmers and other beach goers.

Prevent Pollution from Boats

Always pump out boat sewage in onshore sanitary facilities instead of dumping it into the water.

No Discharge Zones (NDZs)
NDZs prohibit discharge of both treated and untreated sewage from vessels. Within NDZ boundaries, vessel operators are required to keep their sewage discharges onboard for disposal at sea (beyond three miles from shore) or onshore at a pump-out facility.

Clean Up Beaches

Kids can do a lot to help clean up beaches!

Participating in a beach clean-up event is an easy way to make a difference by removing trash and other debris that can end up polluting the water. Many states have Adopt-A-Beach programs whose focus is on keeping beaches clean. Clean-up events are often held throughout the year by local environmental groups, municipalities or state and federal agencies. Contact your state or local Parks and Recreation Department or environmental organizations such as the Ocean Conservancy for information about beach clean-ups. And, if you don't see a cleanup scheduled, you can always organize your own!

A world problem I would love to solve is the drought that is happening all over the world.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
WASHINGTON - Drought-stricken California is not the only place draining underground aquifers in the hunt for fresh water.

It's happening across the world, according to two new studies by U.S. researchers released Tuesday.

Twenty-one of the world's 37 largest aquifers - in locations from India and China to the United States and France - have passed their sustainability tipping points, meaning more water is being removed than replaced from these vital underground reservoirs. Thirteen of 37 aquifers fell at rates that put them into the most troubled category.

"The situation is quite critical," said Jay Famiglietti, senior water scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the studies' principal investigator.

And it's difficult to see it getting better soon. These groundwater reserves take thousands of years to accumulate and only slowly recharge with water from snowmelt and rains. Now, as drilling for water has taken off across the globe, the hidden water reservoirs are being stressed. Underground aquifers supply 35 percent of the water used by humans worldwide. Demand is even greater in times of drought. Rain-starved California is currently tapping aquifers for 60 percent of its water use, up from the usual 40 percent.

In another finding from the studies led by the University of California Irvine, scientists say that some of these aquifers may be much smaller than previously thought. Only a few of the aquifers have been mapped in detail and most estimates of aquifer water reserves have "uncertainty ranges across orders of magnitude," according to the studies.

The new studies used NASA's GRACE satellites to take unprecedentedly precise measurements of the groundwater reservoirs hidden beneath the ground. The satellites detected subtle changes in the gravitational pull of the earth's surface. Water is exceptionally heavy and exerts a greater pull on orbiting spacecraft. As the satellites flew overhead, slight changes in aquifer water levels were charted over a decade, from 2003 to 2013.

"The water table is dropping all over the world," Familglietti said. "There's not an infinite supply of water."

In Australia, the Canning Basin in the country's western end had the third-highest rate of depletion in the world. But the Great Artesian Basin to the east was among the healthiest.

The difference, the studies found, is likely attributable to heavy mining near the Canning Basin. Mining is a water-intensive activity.

In the United States, California's Central Valley Aquifer was in the most trouble. It is being drained to irrigate farm fields. California only last year passed its first extensive groundwater regulations, allowing for local control over groundwater. But the new law could take two decades to take effect.

Also running a negative balance was the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains Aquifer, which stretches across the Gulf Coast and Florida. But three other aquifers in the middle of the country appeared to be in relatively good shape.

The studies were published Tuesday in the Water Resources Research journal.

Familglietti said he hoped the findings would spur discussion and further research into how much groundwater is left.

"We need to get our heads together on how we manage groundwater," he said, "because we're running out of it."
