Why celebrate ground hogs day

Social Studies

Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago

Answer:

That may explain the origin of Groundhog Day in general, but it offers few clues on how groundhogs got involved. For that, we can thank 19th-century German immigrants and a creative city editor at the Punxsutawney Spirit newspaper.

Germans who settled in Pennsylvania in the 1800s brought many customs from home, including an old practice of predicting the end of winter based on bears' and badgers' hibernation habits. Some Germans may have switched to groundhogs when they arrived in America, but the new tradition didn't really take off until the late 1880s, when a group of local groundhog hunters caught the attention of Punxsutawney Spirit city editor Clymer H. Freas.

Freas reported on the men's groundhog hunts and barbecues, touting them as members of "the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club." He became so enthralled by local groundhog folklore that he went on to promote Punxsutawney as home to a weather-predicting groundhog, a story he then continued to repeat and embellish year after year. Other newspapers began reporting it, too, and Punxsutawney soon became ground zero for groundhog meteorology, as well as the hometown of world-renowned forecaster "Punxsutawney Phil."

Answer: I hope this helps:) read all of it       All living organisms on Earth need water to survive. Many, including humans, require fresh water, but only 3% of the water on the Earth's surface is fresh water. How is fresh water important to you? How does this affect the way you manage your use of fresh water.

The kits were estimated to save 7 - 10 gallons of water per person per day. Tampa estimates that when all the homes in Tampa are similarly retrofitted, more than 2. 1 million gallons of water per day will be saved. Educational efforts in Tampa focus on schools. A number of contests have been conducted. Winning poster and limerick entries are compiled into a water conservation calendar, which is then distributed to the general public. Additional efforts in Tampa include a pilot awareness campaign, an expanded retrofit program, toilet-replacement incentive projects including a rebate program, implementation of water checkups for large residential water users, and enhanced in-school curriculum-based education (RMI, 1991).

South Florida Water Management District In 1992, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD, which includes Palm Beach, Dade County, Florida) joined the St. Johns River Water Management District (in northeast Florida) and Southwest Florida Water Management District (Tampa, Sarasota, etc. ) in sponsoring a statewide mass-media conservation campaign that urges residents to conserve water and use it wisely. The campaign features public service spots that urge residents to use xeriscaping and offers other water-saving tips. Educational brochures and how-to guides, an informative video on how to xeriscape a typical Florida yard, and a quarterly newsletter were all produced to support this educational effort.

The Sfwmd's Six-Point Conservation Policy appeals to local governments to adopt conservation measures. The policy advocates the adoption of local xeriscape ordinances, leak detection programs, ordinances that encourage the residential and business use of low-volume plumbing, rate structures that reward conservation and reduced use, comprehensive public education programs, and daytime irrigation bans. In other programs, the SFWMD offers technical assistance to cities and counties in implementing rain switch ordinances (which require automatic sprinklers to be turned off during rain storms) and water reuse systems, and the district is supporting a statewide Compost Utilization Project. The SFWMD is also a sponsoring member of the states Xeriscape/Water Wise Council Steering Committee, formed to help implement the states Xeriscape Law, passed in 1991. Through conservation partnerships formed in 1992, the SFWMD assisted the Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Lee county governments in developing daytime irrigation ordinances, and it is urging other counties to adopt daytime irrigation bans (Kirchhoff and Nicholas, 1993).

California State of California The State Department of Water Resources provides general information and offers technical assistance with water conservation practices to all local water agencies in California.

patriot [66]

Answer: Insufficient external justification; more dissonance

Explanation:

insufficient justification effect:

Describes that in some cases people will go against their own person belief in order to partake in a particular action of behaviour because there is a promise of a small reward versus large reward but reject an activity if it associated with a mild threat versus a sever threat.

Insufficient external justification occurs when a person doesn't have enough justification why they couldn't do something they desired to do.

Cognitive dissonance defines the conflict that exist within someone as they struggle with whether to get involved with the behaviour that goes against their beliefs or attitudes and they may mentally try to adjust their attitudes, behaviour or beliefs in order to establish balance.
