Problem: Article: The empty roll should be on a plastic spindle or roller. Remove both the empty roll and the roller holding it. Slide the spindle out of the grooves it is resting in, by lifting it upward and to the rear of the dispenser. Smaller tape dispensers may not have a spindle. You should see a plastic core (or roller) with the empty cardboard tape roll surrounding it; remove both of these from the dispenser. Slide the empty tape roll off its spindle, and discard it. If the empty roll is cardboard, it can probably go in with your paper recycling. Remove a new, full roll of tape from the box. Check the box to make sure you've got the correct size for your dispenser. Hold the full roll so that when you pull the tape, the strip of tape will unwind across the top of the roll. The sticky side of the tape will be facing down, toward the floor. (If you are holding it the wrong way, the tape will extend away from you, as it pulls from the underside of the roll; the sticky side of the tape strip will be facing upwards, toward the ceiling.) Slide new roll of tape onto the tape dispenser spindle from either direction; most rollers will fit into the dispenser either way. Hold the spindle so that the paper tab on the end of the roll is facing up and toward the front of the dispenser. Slide the spindle and the new full roll of tape back into dispenser. Settle it into its holding grooves so that it moves freely. Hold onto the paper tab at the end of the tape, and pull it towards the cutting edge at the end of the dispenser. Pull the tape over the sharp edge, and pull down on the tape to cut off the colored tab.
Summary: Remove the empty roll. Remove the empty tape roll. Ready a new roll. Align the tape. Slide the tape roll onto the spindle. Align the spindle. Load the tape.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You don't have to dedicate hours of your day to exercising. Find ways to fit exercise into small blocks of time when you'd otherwise be sedentary. For instance, do squats while you wait for water to boil or for your coffee to be ready. Squeeze in a minute for planks when you first wake up in the morning. Take 5-minute breaks every hour at work to walk around the office and stretch. Spending most of your day sitting in a desk chair is tough on your body. Try using a standing desk, or even a standing desk in combination with a treadmill. If that's not for you, just do your best to take regular breaks to get up and walk around. You could also try sitting on an exercise ball instead of a desk chair. Since you'll need to engage your core muscles to keep yourself steady on the ball, it's a bit like a workout even though you're seated. When getting to your apartment or office, skip the elevator and take the stairs instead. If you can't make it up a 5-flight walk-up, just do 1 or 2 sets of stairs, and try adding a floor each week. Climbing stairs can burn up to twice as many calories as walking for the same amount of time. Instead of driving to nearby locations, head out on foot or ride your bike whenever possible. For instance, turn grocery shopping into a workout by walking to the store a few times a week. If work is too far away to cycle, you could take a bus and get off a few stops early to walk the rest of the way. Some buses have bike racks or allow folding bikes on board, so you could also split your commute between cycling and riding the bus. When you do drive, try parking a few blocks away from your destination, or at the far end of a shopping center's parking lot.

SUMMARY: Find small chunks of time to get active throughout the day. Spend less time sitting. Take the stairs instead of using elevators. Walk and ride your bike instead of driving.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Do an inventory of your energy usage, your consuming habits, and your reliance on unsustainable products and make a list of ways you intend to curb your unsustainable activities and habits and replace them with sustainable ones. Set yourself a timeline to meet, with harder changes coming at the end of the timeline. For instance, consider eating meat-free meals twice a week. You could also make a point of turning off lights and electronics when not in use. Another idea is to commit yourself to walking to work or the market as often as possible. Read the labels of origin and manufacture of your goods, and decide if you can make better choices. Find out if your products are certified as sustainable, organic, locally made, or Fair Trade. There are lots of things a label can tell you if you choose to read it. Sustainable products include those that are sustainably obtained, for example, all forest products with the FSC logo are logged using sustainable forestry practices. Organic products, such as cotton clothing, cause much less environmental damage than non-organic methods, such as conventional cotton-growing practices. Locally made products decrease the impact on the environment because they travel less miles, which means less emissions, to make it to the consumer. Fair Trade products are ethically produced, and take into account the native people as well as the environmental resources, in the areas they are produced. If you can't find a label, email or post a message on Facebook to the company, retailer, or manufacturer responsible for the product. Facebook is a great method because lots of other people will check out your question and be waiting for the answer! Make a choice to use public transportation more often than you do already to cut back on the amount of noxious fumes introduced into the environment. Carpooling is also a great way to reduce emissions. You can also ride your bicycle or walk to close destinations. Today is a great day to sign up and get involved with people who are doing rather than talking or reading. Sign up to help restore an old building in town, or join a local water conservation group. If you have a yard or garden that sits empty, make a plan to plant fruits, veggies, and herbs for personal use, or even bee-friendly flowers. Growing your own food helps reduce strain on the environment. Things you can do that will make the most of your garden include: Compost your scraps. Use this compost to boost the garden's production. Create a part of it that is edible, and plant seasonal crops. For those of you with merely a balcony or a tiny plot, you can still grow food such as a potato in a bag and small sprout gardens in your windowsill. You could also join a community gardening project. Grow herbs and spices that add flavor to your food, look beautiful in the garden, and that also have medicinal, beauty, healing, spiritual, or other uses. Borrow a book from the library to learn more about herb and spice use. These plants don't need much space, and they can be grown on a windowsill or balcony. Encourage beneficial and friendly wildlife to your garden through careful planting and shelter creation. Learn to make your own garden sprays using items that are toxic to bugs and mildew but not to people and pets! Refuse to buy unsustainable products, reduce your consumption, reuse items and materials around your home, and recycle everything you can. All that clutter has to go somewhere, so make a choice not to bring in into the house to begin with and if it has to leave, make good choices about where it's going to end up! Think about borrowing, sharing, donating, time-sharing, etc., instead of buying for keeps. Or pass it on after you've read/used/watched/worn/enjoyed it.
Summary:
Adopt an eco-friendly, sustainable lifestyle. Choose to purchase sustainable, organic, or Fair Trade goods. Take public transportation to reduce your environmental impact. Get involved in a conservation, restoration, or eco-community project. Plan your garden space to include edible items. Refuse, reduce, reuse, and recycle.
