Perpetual motion would occur in a device or system if a motion, once started, were to continue indefinitely. The first and second laws of thermodnamics demonstrate that perpetual motion devices cannot be created.

ENVIROMENT DAY(continued): • If you drink a can of beer after work and then toss it in the recycling bin, that one (aluminum) can saves enough energy to watch television for three hours after dinner. Of course, you’d save even more energy if you went out for a walk or read a good used book after dinner. • Yes, we can: There are over 80 billion soda cans used each year. Yes, that’s billion. And that’s just soda. Now, can you see the importance of recycling aluminum? • If you were to add up the amount of separate pieces of paper trash that each American throws away per year, it would be approximately 13,000 pieces of paper. A large percentage of this is packaging and junk mail. • An amazing fact: If you were to lay out all the paper that American businesses generate in just one day, that paper would be enough to circle the Earth about 20 times. • When a glass bottle is recycled, the process considerably cuts back on the air and water pollution that occurs when you create the bottle from raw materials. • Do it online? If American households went online to view and pay their bills, it would save over 16 million trees. Find out what services and options are available to you. • Recycle your newspapers whenever you can. Each year, 10 million tons of newspaper are not recycled, but thrown away in landfills. If we changed this habit altogether, we could save up to 75 million trees. • For every 1 percent decrease in the Earth’s ozone layer, there is a 2 percent increase in the incidence of skin cancer in humans.

People are working on ways to defy the laws of thermodnamics. The idea is to have a compressed air generator that can output more energy than it consumes. If this could be possible and fitted to a compressed air running vehicle, you would never need to stop for recharging. Would that mean that sales for diapers would increase dramatically to reduce the need for stops during vacation such as astronaut Nowak trip? Wow, that could be really bad for the environment.

• On June 9, 1772, the British vessel Gaspee runs aground off the coast of Rhode Island while pursuing the Hanna, an American smuggling ship. That evening, John Brown, an American merchant angered by high British taxes on his goods, rowed out to the Gaspee with a number of other colonists and set the ship afire. When British officials attempted to prosecute the colonists involved in the “Gaspee Affair,” they found no Americans willing to testify against their countrymen. • On June 13, 1905, pitcher Christy Matthewson of the New York Giants throws the second no-hitter of his career to lead his Giants to a 1-0 win over the powerful Chicago Cubs. That year Matthewson won 31 games to just nine lost. • On June 12, 1920, Man O’ War wins the 52nd Belmont Stakes. His only career loss came in 1919 when his back was to the starting line at the beginning of one race. At that time, before the advent of starting gates, a rope was all that held horses back from starting their run. • On June 10, 1935, in New York City, two recovering alcoholics found Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.), a 12-step rehabilitation program that eventually helps countless people cope with alcoholism.

ENVIROMENT DAY(continued): Geothermal energy from the Earth is abundant. If we could utilize just 5 percent of the geothermal “wealth” we have here in the Unites States, we could supply the electricity needs for 260 million Americans. America’s population at the moment is right around 300 million. If laundromats in the United States switched to front-loading machines, we could save a whole lot of water. If just one load of wash per day was washed by a front loader rather than a toploading machine, we’d save 1 million gallons of water a day. America’s refrigerators use about 7 percent of the nation’s total electricity consumption, the output of about 25 large power plants. Did you know that Americans throw away approximately 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour? Meeting the nation’s demand for bottled water requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil annually. That is enough to fuel an estimated 100,000 cars for a year. How it all began: From the conservation movement at the beginning of the 20th century, there has been a steady progression. In the sixties the great concern centered on chemical pesticides. Many believe the ecological movement was born with author Rachel Carson’s classic book, “Silent Spring.” The ecology movement’s growth has been stimulated by a widespread acknowledgment of an ecological crisis on our planet. Big Earth Day issues through the years: There was a great deal of concern over nuclear weapons and nuclear power in 1960s and 1970s; the big issue in the 1980s was acid rain; in the 1990s, ozone depletion and deforestation; and now climate change and global warming are the biggest concerns for many.

• You may consider the bikini to be a modern phenomenon, but in the ruins of Pompeii, which was buried by ash from an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., there are murals depicting people in two-piece bathing suits.

• According to statistics from the Social Security Administration, about one-third of people who claim to be more than 100 years old aren’t telling the truth. It seems that people age 75 and older tend to add years when asked how old they are, while those under age 75 tend to say they’re younger than they are.

• Last year, much was made of the Obama family’s plan to adopt a dog. Many first families have had pets, though, and some presidents have not been content with a run-of-the-mill dog or cat. For instance, Thomas Jefferson kept two bear cubs in a cage on the front lawn of the White House, and Theodore Roosevelt had a zebra. An alligator was the pet of choice for John Quincy Adams, and James Buchanan kept an elephant. • Jujiro Matsuda was a blacksmith before he founded the Mazda auto manufacturing company. *** (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.
