In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The leaves of pineapples can be pretty sharp. Similarly, the rind of the pineapple can also be rough on hands. Try wearing a pair of gardening gloves to provide protection. Hold on to the top of the pineapple with your non-dominant hand. You can grab the actual fruit or grasp the top of the pineapple between the leaves. You want to keep the pineapple still while you cut it off. One way to cut the pineapple off is to simply grab a pair of gardening shears. Cut the pineapple stem just below the pineapple, and catch the fruit as it comes off the plant. Make sure to leave some stem behind so that the plant can regrow. If you need to, you can use both hands to operate the shears. Just try to catch the pineapple before it falls, as you don't want to bruise it. A sharp knife will work about as well as gardening shears. Saw into the stem just below the pineapple until the pineapple comes free. Be careful not to damage other leaves as you are cutting off the pineapple.
Summary: Wear gloves to protect your hands. Steady the pineapple with one hand. Use shears for an easy cut. Try a sharp knife if you don't have gardening shears.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you are ready to rinse out the oil, hop in the shower and apply a dime-size or quarter-size amount of shampoo from your roots to your ends. The shampoo helps remove excess oil from your hair. Rinse out the shampoo, and apply conditioner as normal. Then, rinse all of the product out of your hair thoroughly. To moisturize your hair even more, you can leave the conditioner on for 3 to 5 minutes while in the shower. For fine hair, you may want to skip conditioning after shampooing out the mask.
Summary: Cleanse your hair with shampoo and conditioner.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Leaving doors wide open will result in a loss of heat or cool air, which can increase the need for energy to heat and cool that room. By closing the door to your classroom and other rooms, you can keep the heat and cold inside the room and save energy in the process. If you are a student, check with your teacher before you close any doors. Your teacher might be leaving the door open for a good reason. Try saying something like, "I read that closing doors can help us save energy. Would it be okay if I close our classroom door?" If your classroom or other areas of your school have fans, then using these instead of turning up the air conditioning is a great way to save energy. If it starts to feel a bit stuffy in a classroom, then switch on the fan and see if that takes care of it. If you are a student, try saying, "Before we turn up the air conditioning, could we try using the fans? They can cool the room while using less energy than air conditioning." If you are a teacher, check with your students to see if they are cool enough with just the fans. Setting the heat for 68F (20C) degrees in the colder months and 78F (26C) degrees for cooling in the warmer months can significantly reduce energy costs. Check the thermostat in your classroom to see if these settings have already been applied. If you are a student, try saying to your teacher, "I read that we could save energy by making some minor adjustments to the thermostat in our classroom. Would it be okay if we tried that?" If you are a teacher, try saying to your students, "I am adjusting the thermostat to help us save some energy, but let me know if you start to feel too hot/cold." Drafts indicate that windows, doors, and other areas may not be sealed well, and this can result in wasted energy. If you notice a draft, tell the maintenance staff at your school. If you are a student, you might want to let your teacher know first. However, you could offer to tell the maintenance staff for them. Try saying something like, "I noticed that there is a draft near the windows in our classroom. Is it okay if I tell the maintenance staff, or would you rather let them know yourself?" If there are any shelves, rugs, or other things blocking the vents in your classroom at school, then moving these obstructions can help to save energy. Ask for help moving the obstruction if needed. If you are a student, be sure to check with your teacher first. Try saying something like, "I noticed that the area rug is covering a heating vent, and we could save energy if we moved it slightly. Would it be okay if we did that?"
Summary:
Close the door when you leave or enter a room. Suggest using fans instead of cranking up the air conditioning. Check the thermostats for potential energy saving adjustments. Check for drafts in your classroom. Look for obstructions to vents.
