Burger Pollution

I have read the article "Burger Pollution" in the first issue of Up-Front magazine for December. It's about how a charbroiled burger has the same environmental impact as an eighteen wheeler that has just driven 143 miles. They both create the same air pollution because the fatty acids that come from cooking a burger evaporate into the air, causing a smoke to develop that can cause lung cancer. Also, the greenhouse gases released by cow manure and the fertilizers used to grow feeding crops to raise the future burgers(the cows), creates much more air pollution. If one burger has this kind of impact, imagine how bad it must hurt earth just to make all the burgers we have at school. If we humans find a more Eco-friendly way to make burgers, that may be another step into cleaning our Mother Earth.

                   If I was in the woods alone and it was dark, my paranoid imagination would take over and I would think Slender-Man was after me. For those who don't know, Slender-Man is a video-game character who is a really tall faceless alien who wears a black suit and follows those who wander woods alone and kills them. But, if I keep my wits about me, I would keep walking until I reached safety.
