conservation habits healthy habits
any hints for explaining how conservation habits equal healthy habits?
Okay so im in the middle of writing an expository essay for my community service class and im looking for a couple more reasons in addition to the ones I already have to give more in depth explanations to why “conservation habits equal healthy habits”. Your help would be greatly appreciated, especially if you can come up with a couple extra for me to choose from. I’m just having total writers block right now and it’s annoying me because I don’t experience that very often.
The reasons I already have include:
- Respect
- Discipline
- Character
- Attitude
- Work
- Ethics
I would even appreciate extra points on the topics I already have. Maybe something that you can share that most people might not think of. Really anything is appreciated. I simply need your help ASAP. Thanks a bunch!

It all comes back to understanding that there is no “free lunch.” Our actions have consequences. Some things we don’t pay for individually but we do pay for as a society.
Sometimes decision makers take advantage of our propensity to ignore costs that we don’t pay for with dollars. We are then beguiled into thinking that there is no cost as we transfer a value from our quality of life to someone else. We are in effect being swindled no differently than if we sold the family heirlooms as worthless trinkets.
Conservation habits are no different than other habits we use to maintain our health. When we don’t bathe or clean our environment eventually the pressure of the world will take its toll and eliminate our genes from the pool of life.

For the past year I’ve been compiling a list of model train stores for my model railroading website. These shops all look like a lot of fun to visit, but what are the most popular? Here is a list for the great state of Pennsylvania.
The most popular model railroading shops (based on online chatter) in the state of Pennsylvania are:
10. Strasburg Train Shop in Strasburg
9. Cappelli Hobbies in Philadelphia
8. Neely’s Train Shop in Altoona
7. Modelers’ Depot in Hopwood
6. Action Hobbies in Langhorne
5. Hobby Express in Cranberry Township
4. Esther’s Hobby Shop in Pittsburgh
3. Len’s Train Shop in Irwin
2. A. B. Charles Hobby Shop in Pittsburgh
…and the most popular shop for model trains in Pennsylvania is…
1. Bill and Walt’s Hobby Shop in Pittsburgh
Hobby shops not quite making my top 10 were Brentwood Station in Pittsburgh, Bussinger Trains in Ambler, C. T. McCormick Hardware in Zelienople, Central Keystone Hobbies in Avis, CoolTrains Toys and Hobbies in Salunga, English’s Model Railroad Supply in Montoursville, Gene’s Trains and Hobbies in Duncansville, Grzyboski’s Train Store in Moosic, Henning Scale Models in Lansdale, Hobby Headquarters in Meadville, Imperial Train in Imperial, Jerry Quinn Classic Trains and Toys in Coatesville, Jim’s Train Shop in Homer City, Ken’s Trains in Glassport, Main Line Hobbies in East Norriton, Modellbahn Ott Hobbies in Gilbertsville, Nicholas Smith Trains in Broomall, Niedzalkoski’s Train Shop in Jeannette, R and B Hobby Center in Tunkhannock, Singers Hobbies and Crafts in Wellsboro, T and J Train Junction in Danville, The Train Gallery in Pittsburgh, The Train Shoppe and Hobby Center in Wilkes Barre, The Underground Railroad Shoppe in New Castle, Tommy Gilbert’s Hobby Shop in Gettysburg, Toys On The Square in Hummelstown, Winkie’s Toy and Hobby in Lititz, and Ye Olde Train and Christmas Shoppe in Boyertown.
So lots of great model railroading shops from all over Pennsylvania in the top ten, but the Pittsburgh area had all of the top five. As usual, the top spot went to a store with both a fantastic local shop and a thriving website.
When in Pennsylvania be sure to visit some of the excellent railroading museums including National Toy Train Museum in Paradise, Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, and Western Pennsylvania Model Rail Road Museum in Gibsonia. Also in Pennsylvania are some teriffic model railroad displays, including the Choo Choo Barn in Strasburg and National Christmas Center in Paradise.
I compiled this list by searching for the hobby shops listed on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.
I further screened this list to include only pages that mentioned model railroading. See a complete list of Model Train Shops in Pennsylvania at www.ModelTrainsWithLarry.com which has complete contact information for each shop including an address, phone number, and map to the store.
