Consumers concerned about the hazards
or noise can reduce noise pollution in many ways. They can purchase noisy products such as

hard flooring, and cork and fabric can be used in rooms that tend to be
noisy. Also, people can become less
noisy themselves. They can learn to
avoid shouting, to close doors without slamming them, and to play radios, TV
sets, and stereos at moderate levels.

Most teenagers and young adults do not know what they want to do for
the rest of their lives. It is a big decision. There are a number of things you
can do to narrow the choices. For example you can take an interest test, do
some research on your own about a career, try volunteer work in the field in
which you are interested, or “job-shadow”, in which you spend a day with a
person who is working in a field that interests you. These are just a few
helpful ideas as you begin to choose a career.

food at the same time. What will they think of next?
