==The job i would have is an Environmental Scientist. They look at environmental problems and try to find a solution. A lot of workers help find money for science projects and write reports. They work in laboratories, offices, and outside while making measurements. All workers need a college degree and most workers need a graduate degree. Some scientists make laws about protecting the environment, and some also help companies follow the law. Environmental scientists jobs are expected to grow much faster than average occupations through 2018. They make sure the environment is safe by seeing what is in the air, soil, and water. Some workers mix chemistry or biology with environmental sciences. They also use math and computers. They find out if certain chemicals could damage the environment. There were about 85,900 jobs in 2008. If you are a environmental scientist your average salary is $65,280. I would have this job because I like trying to save the earth and I want to stop pollution. Also I love the earth and mother nature.==

Diabetes **A lot of people in the world have a disease called diabetes. Here are some questions you may ask about diabetes and I will answer them. What causes it? What are the symptoms? How do you treat it? Also I will give you some fun facts!**

**Overweight and having too much glucose cause diabetes. The way you get overweight is if you eat too much food, be lazy, or eat candy. You shouldn’t have too much fast food, cupcakes, fat, milky ways, snickers, or skittles. Also you should always stay active, don’t play too many video games, or watch television. The way you can have too much glucose is if you have too much sugar in your body. You also shouldn’t have too much desserts or soda. I like to have a lot of ice cream, shakes, root beer, and dr. pepper but that is probably not good for me.**

**Some of the symptoms are thirst and hunger. If you have too much salty food or if you don’t drink enough you might get thirsty. You shouldn’t have French fries, chips, or olives. Also you should have a lot of water, milk, and juice. If you don’t eat enough or move enough you might get hungry. You should eat meat, starch, fruits, and veggies. Also you should exercise, play outside, and don’t be lazy.**

**Staying healthy and monitoring your blood sugar will help treat diabetes. If you eat good foods and be active you will be healthy. You should eat fruits, veggies, and protein. You should also play outside and exercise. You have to take insulin shots because it pumps insulin into you’re body.** **Here are some fun facts. There is no cure for diabetes. Also you only get diabetes when you’re older. 140 million people have diabetes. The number of people with diabetes is supposed to double in 2025. Last, 900,000 Australians have diabetes.**
