In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Loneliness can take on a few different forms and may manifest differently in each person. For some people it's an inkling that comes and goes intermittently, for others it's a nonstop part of their reality. You may have more social loneliness, or more emotional loneliness.   Social loneliness. This type of loneliness includes feelings like aimlessness, boredom, and social exclusion. It can happen when you don't have a solid social network (or if you've been separated from one, such as moving to a new place).  Emotional loneliness. This type of loneliness includes feelings like anxiety, depression, insecurity, and desolation. It can happen if you don't have the strong emotional connections with people that you'd like to. A central and mandatory step towards combating loneliness is knowing that, while it may be painful, it is just a feeling. It is not necessarily fact and, therefore, it is not permanent. Proverbially speaking: "this, too, shall pass." It has nothing to do with you as a social creature and everything to do with those little neurons in your head firing in an unfortunate, yet changeable, way. You can easily attack your thoughts about loneliness and feel better. Ultimately, you decide what to make of your situation. Take this as an opportunity to better understand yourself and make improvements. Evolutionary understanding of loneliness suggests that the pain it causes can fuel you to take action and become someone you'd never otherwise be able to become. Loneliness for an extrovert and loneliness for an introvert are two very different things. Loneliness and being alone aren't the same thing. Think about what the opposite of loneliness would look like for you, and remember that it looks different for each person.  Introverted people may desire having a close relationship with one or two people. They may not need to see these friends everyday. Instead, they may enjoy spending time in solitude for the most part and only require the stimulation of others every now and then. However, if their social and emotional needs are not met, introverts can still feel lonely.  Extroverted people may need to be around a group of people to feel like their social meter is getting adequately filled. They may feel down when they are not interacting with others who provide stimulation. If their connections are not socially and emotionally fulfilling, though, an extrovert can feel lonely even surrounded by people.  Where do you fall on the spectrum? Understanding how your personality impacts your feelings of loneliness can guide you in making decisions about how to overcome these feelings. A recent survey revealed that one in every four individuals surveyed described themselves as having no one to talk to about personal matters. When family members were removed from the pool of confidants, that number increased to half the population of respondents. This means that, if you're feeling lonely like you have no one to turn to, between 25 and 50 percent of Americans feel similarly to you. Scientists are now referring to loneliness a public health concern. Recent studies have shown that people who feel isolated, either by physical distance or subjectively, may die earlier than those who do not.
Summary: Identify your type of loneliness. Realize that loneliness is a feeling. Consider your personality. Recognize that you are not alone in feeling lonely.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Water is a major resource that we often take for granted. The water that comes through your faucets has to be pumped from a water source to a treatment plant, filtered and treated with chemicals, then pumped to your neighborhood. That process requires a lot of energy. When you conserve water, you do your part to put less strain on your local water sources. This is especially important if you live in an area that's prone to drought. To save water,  Don't keep water running while you do the dishes. Use a low-water dishwashing method. Take short showers instead of baths, which require much more water. Fix leaky pipes so you aren't wasting water. Don't water your lawn with fresh water. Either let the rain do the work, or save grey water (like used bathwater) to use. Cleaning chemicals are often made with toxic ingredients that wash into the water supply and taint it. This harms humans, wildlife and the environment. Use earth-friendly substances around your home. You can also try making your own.  Instead of using a commercial all-purpose cleaner, try a solution of white vinegar and water. It works just as well and isn't toxic. Baking soda does wonders on stains of all kinds. Use natural versions of shampoos, conditioners and other body products. Use natural methods for getting rid of bugs and rodents in your home, rather than using poison. Even worse is pouring them onto your lawn, where they'll eventually seep into the groundwater. Paint, motor oil, bleach, ammonia, and other strong solutions should be disposed of properly according to the guidelines of your local sanitation department. Most communities have toxic waste sites for proper disposal. Every community is dependent on a natural source of water to survive. Whether it's a river, a lake, groundwater, or another source, it's essential to protect the water that literally brings your community life. Find local groups working to protect your water and join up so you can help. Here are a few ideas:  Participate in local waterways cleanups to get rid of trash polluting your local streams, rivers and beaches. Speak out against local water polluters. Loose governmental regulations mean that many water sources are polluted with industrial waste. See if there's a local group working to make things right and keep the water clean where you live.
Summary: Save water in your home. Don't use toxic chemicals. Never pour hazardous waste down the drain. Find ways to fight local water pollution.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Neighbors may be willing to reveal important information about other owners that would be difficult to obtain elsewhere. If local residents are familiar with the owners of the property, you can learn if the owners are approachable people. Especially if the property is a home you want to purchase, assess the condition of the surrounding lots. If the entire neighborhood looks run-down and abandoned, the search may not be worth your time. Don't hang around too much or the neighbors may start to get suspicious. If you talk to anyone, or if anyone approaches you and asks you what you're doing, be up front about your intentions. Especially if you want to buy the property, you don't want to start off on the wrong foot with people who might one day be your neighbors. You may have to talk to neighbors to figure out the street address, particularly if there are several houses in a row with no visible street numbers. You will need the address to search public records for the property owner's identity as well. This is an unobtrusive way to introduce yourself and make your intentions known.  Send it through the mail, don't just leave it in the box or on the property. If the owners have moved elsewhere, it's possible they have the mail forwarded to a different address. If the property is truly abandoned, this isn't likely, but it's worth a shot. Include your name and a phone number on the post card, as well as the reasons you are contacting the owner. This survey system is most frequently used to parcel out subdivisions in suburban areas, or define property boundaries in a densely populated urban area.
Summary:
Ask the nearest neighbor if they know the property owner. Scope out the neighborhood. Get the property address. Send a postcard to the property's address. Determine the plat or lot and block of the property.
