Problem: Article: You've probably heard the saying, "quality not quantity." That adage applies when you're trying to reduce household waste. Buying higher quality items, including dishes, pans, clothing, toys, and most everything else, will reduce your waste overall because the items will last longer. You won't need to replace them as often. For instance, when you can, spring for the higher quality pot. It's more expensive, but it will last many more years. When purchasing items like food, choose bigger packages over smaller to help reduce trash from packaging. For instance, a large box of cereal creates less waste than several smaller boxes of cereal that add up to the same amount. If you prefer individual servings, portion the food out into reusable containers when you get home. For instance, if you like small portions of pretzels, buy a big bag and then use small sealed containers to create individual portions. Also, be sure to look for packaging that can be recycled, so you aren't contributing to the landfill. Today's society has bought into excessive packaging. Some items have two or three layers of packaging. If you see an item that seems to have an excessive amount of packaging, try looking for a different brand to see if it uses less. Bulk bins are becoming more popular, particularly in health food stores. With these bins, you simply scoop out the food (such as rice, flour, sugar, etc.) into a bag, which usually produces less waste than standard packaging. You can also bring reusable containers from home to make the purchase even greener. Make sure to get a cashier to write the weight of the container on it so that you don't pay for the container.
Summary: Buy quality items that last. Buy bigger packages of food. Look for products with less packaging. Buy from the bulk bins.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To lose weight and get the most effective workout, it's important to include cardio or aerobic exercises. These types of exercises use large muscle groups to increase your heart rate and breathing pace. It should be sustained for at least 10 minutes at a time at a minimum. Most fitness DVDs will incorporate some aerobic activity since this is one of the best ways to induce weight loss with exercise. Common forms of aerobic exercise found in fitness DVDs include: dancing, interval training, running or walking in place, and calisthenics. They also might incorporate isometric exercise, which strengthens specific muscles or shape the figure by pitting one muscle or part of the body against another or against an immovable object in a strong but motionless action, as by pressing the fist of one hand against the palm of the other or against a desk. Make sure to do about 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of cardio each week. To help induce weight loss, you may need to increase the intensity or the amount of cardio exercises you're doing each week. Resistance training is a type of exercise that helps build and maintain lean muscle mass. Incorporating regular strength training is another important component of weight loss and physical activity. Exercise DVDs use a variety of equipment for strength training exercises, such as dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands or tubes. You might also do body weight exercises (as used often in Pilates) and isometrics (as used in yoga). Weight training has shown to help increase muscle mass and metabolism which can aid in weight loss. It's recommended to include resistance training on at least 2 days per week. Note that many DVDs offer a combination of aerobic and strength training exercises in one program that could help cut down on overall exercise time. This may be a smart option for those with little time or very busy schedules. Stretching and flexibility is an important part of your fitness routine. Studies have shown that stretching may help prevent injury. Try to include stretching after each workout session. Many DVD programs automatically include this at the end of each workout or routine. Yoga is a great practice to help stretch, relax and restore your body after a week of exercise. Some DVDs may have a stretching routine included. However, you may want to consider purchasing a separate DVD for stretching and recovery routines. In addition to incorporating the recommended amounts of activity each week, it's equally important to include adequate rest and recovery days. Studies have shown that allowing your body to rest and recover may help prevent injury. Rest days can also be active. Light walking is something that's appropriate to include on active rest days.
Summary: Include cardio-based DVDs. Incorporate a few days of strength training DVDs. Include flexibility or stretching DVDs. Plan for 1-2 rest days.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use your foot to click the gear shift pedal so the motorcycle shifts into first gear. Keep the clutch engaged with your left hand so the motorcycle doesn't shift into gear yet. With your right hand, rev up the engine by twisting the throttle down. Look at the repetitions per minute (RPM) gauge and look for the red line towards the top of it. Rev up the engine so the arrow is about 75% of the way to the red line at the top. Start revving the engine slowly to make sure the engine isn't in gear and the bike won't move. It's important that you build up the engine before you put it into gear so the tire spins too fast to gain traction. Make sure your feet are flat and you're standing stable. To make sure that all of the weight is off of the rear tire, lean forward a little bit. Don't ease off of the clutch to disengage it. Instead, let it go in 1 motion by releasing all of your fingers at once. The engine will then engage in first gear and the rear tire will start spinning to create a burnout. The longer you hold the burnout, the more wear and tear on your rear tire. Use your left hand to pull the lever to engage the clutch, which will pull the engine out of first gear and into neutral. Rollback the throttle with your right hand, but keep the brake engaged the entire time. The rear tire will come to a stop and your motorcycle will not roll forward. Do not release the brake until the tire has completely stopped spinning.
Summary:
Put the motorcycle into first gear. Rev up the engine close to the red line on the gauge. Lean forward slightly to shift all of the weight off of the rear tire. Let go of the clutch to perform a burnout. Reengage the clutch and release the throttle to end the burnout.
