Some say that money can not buy happiness. But ask those who do not have money. Yet there are a lot of wonderful things that we take for granted and they are priceless. Taking a walk along the beach at sunset is priceless. When a kid falls in your lap, that feeling is beautiful and it is priceless. Complimenting someone who has had a rough day by saying, you look pretty is effortless and price less.
When your mother has had a long day of work and she forgets that today is a special day for her. If you make a handmade card and wish her happy mother's day, that moment is something that she will never forget, because it came straight from your heart. Some measure the wonderful things in term of money.
A Barbie doll is a wonder thing for a child and it comes with money, some might argue. A mother's loves for the same child is even more wonderful and does not cost any thing. So it all depends on what you consider as wonderful and beautiful. Material things might have a price but do you consider them as precious?

Ten things you can do to help curb global warming
Responsible choices
The choices we make and the products we buy test our commitment to maintain a healthy planet. When we burn fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas to run our cars and light our homes, we pump carbondioxide into the air. This thickens the heat-trapping blanket that surrounds the plant, causing global warming.
choosing modern technology can reduce our use of fossil fuels and help protect the planet. these ten steps will help curb global warming, save you money, and create a safer environment for the future.
1.Drive smart !
A well-tuned car with properly inflated tires burns less gasoline-cutting pollution and saving you money at the pump. If you have two cars, drive the one with better gas mileange whenever possible. Better yet, and skip the drive and take public transit, walk, or bicycle when you can.
2. Buy local organic
Did you know the average American meal travels more than 1,500 miles from the farm to you plate? think of all the energy wasted and pollution added to the atmosphere-not to mention all the pesticides and chemicals used to grow most produce so go to your local organic farmer to get your fruits and veggies.
3. Support clean, renewable energy.
Renewable energy solutions, such as wind and solar plants, the largest siyrce of global warming pollution in the united states. Call your local utility and sign up for renewable energy, If they don't offer it, ask them why not?
4. Replance incandescent ligh bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
Especially those that burn the longest each day. Compact fluorescents produce the same amount of light as normal bulbs, but use about a quarter of the electricity and last ten times as long.Each switch you make helps clean the air today, curb global warming, and save yot money on your electricity bill.
5. Saving energy at home is good for the environment and for your wallet.
Start with caulking and weather-stripping on doorways and windows. Then adjust your thermostart and start saving. For each degree you lower your thermostat in the winter,you can cut your energy bills by to do a free energy audit of your home to show you how to save even more money.
6.Become a smart water consumer.
Install low-flow showerheads and faucets and you'll use half the water without decreasing performance. Then turn your hot water heater down to 120F and see hot-water costs go down by as much as 50 percent.
7. Buy energy-efficient electromics and appliances.
Replacing an old refregerator or an air conditioner with an energy-efficient model will save you money on your electricity bill and cut global warming pollution. look for the energy star label on new appliances or visit their website at http://www.energystar.gov/ to find the most energy-efficient products.
8. Plant a tree, protect forest.
Protecting forests is a big step on the road to curbing global warming. trees''breathe in'' carbon dioxide,but slash-and-burn farming practices,intensive livestock production,and logging have destroyed 90 percent of the native forests in the United States.and you can take action in your own backyard-planting shade trees around your house will absorb co2, and slash your summer air-conditioning bills.
9. Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!
Producing new paper, glass, and metal 90 percent of the energy and pollution,inclding co2, that would result if the product came from virgin materials.Recycling a stack of newspapers only four feet high will save a good-sized tree. please..buy recycled products
10. Mount a local campaign against global warming.
Educate your community about how it can cut global warming pollution. Support measures at the national,state, and level that:
