Hey hey! Today I’m here to talk about three awesome articles that i read on Treehugger.com, which you can check out here. The first one is about luring customers to spend more cash. You know how a place looks nice inside, or plays comforting music? It lures you in. However, this method is more subtle – it’s the scent that draws you in. Researchers conducted an experiment to see if this was true. Customers would go into a store, and the store would either have the simple scent of orange, a more complicated scent of orange, green tea, and basil, or no scent. The experiment showed that customers spent 20% more money when the orange aroma was in the store versus the complicated scent and no scent, which had no effects on shoppers. Take it into mind and avoid stores with nice scents! The second article is about the pros and cons of tablets. Today, 25% of adults own a tablet, while only 4% owned a tablet in 2010. Of that 25%, 79% of those people say that the main benefit of a tablet is reducing the need to print books, thus saving lots of trees. It is a little more harmful to nature to make an iPad than a book, but tablets are better for saving water. Publishing a printed book takes 7 gallons of water, whereas a publishing a book on a tablet takes only two cups of water. It is estimated that by 2025, e-waste will balloon up to 25,000,000 tons. However, using a tablet only puts out 2.5 grams of CO2 per hour, so that’s another bonus. Tablets certainly have some benefits! The last article was the “photo of the day” for the website, which you can check out here. It’s a picture of Dufferin Street in Toronto, Canada. The photographer says that it was taken during a one mile walk from a mall to a car service place. He says that its a terrible photo because of all the cars, and he says that people don’t drive because a mile is such a long distance (said sarcastically), but because walking is basically a guillotine meets iron maiden for them. it’s torture for those people. This is terrible! We need to get out and move!
