Workers then spent the day moving the store’s perishable items into storage units and a warehouse in Nicetown. They also donated frozen food and other products to local food pantries. HYPERLINK "; “We immediately got on the phone with our friends at Philabundance and they got on the phone with their friends who have food pantries,” said Weavers Way General Manager Joe Roesser. “Basically, a dozen people dropped everything to come over here and get what we had before it went bad.”The food and products were sent to several organizations and churches, including Face to Face Germantown, Food Cupboard (Loaves and Fishes) at Jenkintown United Methodist Church, and 2 Fish 5 Loaves Food Ministry at Upper Room Missionary Baptist Church in West Oak Lane. In a press release, Roesser estimated the store donated $6,000 to $7,000 worth of food to the organizations.ACTIVITY SEVENCAT RESTAURANT READINGRead this article out loud and discuss anything that you think is interesting or confusing.Would you like a cat with that pumpkin spice latte? Cat Town Cafe became the first permanent cat cafe in the U.S. when it opened its doors last week in Oakland, California. Founded by cat lovers Adam Myatt and Ann Dunn, Cat Town Cafe is a "cross between a coffee shop and an adoption center," according to Mashable. The concept of cat cafes started in Taiwan with the idea that customers can enjoy a hot beverage and get in some quality cat time."Cat cafes are places where people go to hang out, have a drink, and of course, observe and play with cats," the Cat Town Cafe Indiegogo page explains. Customers have the option of either walking in or making a reservation before their visit to Cat Town Cafe, where they order drinks and food and then walk into what Mashable describes as "an elaborate play area" to spend time with six to 12 cats at a time.The hope is that the Cat Town Cafe kitties will find forever families. Each cat is available for adoption, and the cafe gets them out of local shelters. The venture is an extension of Dunn's rescue organization, simply called Cat Town, which "[targets] the cats least likely to be adopted from Oakland's municipal shelter," its website reads. "Through our foster?based program, Cat Town allows sensitive cats to blossom and find great permanent homes."Funds for the cafe came from an Indiegogo campaign that raised $40,000? another $20,000 was donated by Pet Food Express. Mashable notes Cat Town Cafe has been a huge success so far, with reservations completely booked for the first three weekends. “This is kind of my dream vision of what Cat Town would be like,” Julie Sammons, a University of California, Berkeley employee told Time as she petted a resident. Other patrons took to Twitter to share photos. ACTIVITY EIGHTFAST FOOD READINGRead this article out loud and discuss anything that you think is interesting or confusing.Life near fast food restaurants unhealthyNew research in the USA says it is unhealthy to live in areas with lots of fast food restaurants. A study by the University of Michigan said people who live within walking distance of fast food restaurants have a 13 per cent higher chance of having a stroke. Lead researcher Dr. Lewis Morgenstern and his team analyzed the social status of the 1,247 people who had strokes in an area of Texas over a three-year period. The area was home to 262 fast food restaurants. The team compared the stroke victims’ social status with how close they lived to the restaurants. He concluded there was a strong relationship between the distance someone lived to fast food restaurants and their chances of having a stroke. A stroke is similar to a heart attack, except it attacks the brain. Strokes are among the biggest killers in the USA. Many are the result of unhealthy eating. A diet that has a large amount of fast food and other junk food increases the chances of having a stroke. Dr. Morgenstern’s research found that there could be up to 33 different fast food restaurants in an area. This puts people living nearby more at risk of a stroke. Dr. Morgenstern said he didn’t know whether it was the actual fast food that increased the risk of stroke. It could be for many other reasons that are not related to fast food.ThursdayACTIVITY NINEICE CAPS AND SEA LEVELLook at the picture of the difference in the ice caps from 40 years ago to 2007.

Read it out loud with the class, and discuss anything that is interesting or confusing.What is the Paris climate change conference?A major UN summit at which more than 190 nations will attempt to agree a new international deal to tackle climate change by cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The talks are formally known as COP21.What's the aim of the talks?The UN wants to agree a truly universal global deal on tackling climate change for the first time, as part of efforts to prevent global warming exceeding 2C above pre-industrial levels this century.That's the level of warming beyond which scientists agree the world is likely to see the most severe effects of climate change including extreme weather such as heatwaves, droughts and flooding.Beyond 2C warming the world is expected to see more extreme weather. Photo: ALAMYPreventing 2C warming would require countries around the world to take action to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.Will a Paris deal be enough to stop dangerous climate change?No - at least, not by itself.National pledges to cut emissions made ahead of the Paris summit are likely to leave the world on course for warming of at least 2.7C, according to the UN. That will make a significant "dent" in the warming that might otherwise be seen, but not enough to prevent dangerous warming.However, the aim is to also agree a framework that will make countries improve those pledges in time, as well as setting a long-term goal that is consistent with limiting warming to 2C.What kind of deal could be agreed?Key elements are likely to include:National pledges to cut emissions: Most countries have already submitted pledges, known as Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), setting out how they plan to limit their emissions in the period after 2020.A long-term goal: Some sort of target for global emissions reductions that are required by 2050 or 2100, consistent with preventing 2C global warming.Holding countries to account: A clear framework for measuring whether countries are actually carrying out the emissions cuts they have promised.Increasing pledges in future: A mechanism to make countries come back and agree to deeper national emissions cuts in future.Finance: An agreement that developed nations will help developing countries with the costs of going green, and the costs of coping with the effects of climate change. ................
