Problem: Article: Unless you're already a vegetarian family, this is probably not the time to ask everyone to go veggie but at least raise it as an option. Discuss ways to eat green, including using non-disposable plates, bowls, utensils, and napkins. . Meat-free meals could be made more frequent within the meal roster. Less meat consumption is healthy for everyone, and the environmental costs of producing milk, eggs, and meat includes increased land usage, high-protein grain for animal feed, and the production of methane.

Summary: Implement green food habits. Eat vegetarian meals Research healthy options.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stalkers often harass their victims by calling frequently and sending frequent letters and emails. Consider offering to screen your friend’s phone calls, emails, and mail if there are concerns that the person might try to communicate in these ways. This may help to reduce your friend’s fear for a while. A safety plan helps someone reduce the risk of harm from a stalker or stalking situation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Give the hiring manager or recruiter some time to go over all of the interviews they did. They might also need to speak to other people in the HR department, and are often prevented from discussing the opening until they’ve been given the green light to hire someone. Give them about a week to deal with those issues before you write a follow up email. If the hiring manager gave you an actual date by which they’re hoping to make a decision, wait a few days after that to follow up. The dates they give are usually optimistic, and other things may have come up. Your email should include your name, the position you applied for, and the date of your interview. The better you can remind the hiring manager who you are, the more likely you are to get a response. You can say something like, “Dear Jim, I hope things are going well. I was wondering if you could provide me with an update on the assistant manager position I interviewed for on May 5, 2017] Please let me know if I can provide you with any other information; I look forward to hearing from you.” If you’re interviewing for a new position, chances are you’re in the middle of a job search. If you’ve received another offer while waiting to hear from your first choice, let the hiring manager know. This gives you a solid reason to need to know and increases the likelihood that you’ll hear back. You can say something like “Dear Emily, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to check on the status of the coordinator position I interviewed for on January 10. I’ve since received an offer from another company, but I’m still eager to hear from you about joining ABC Consulting. Could you offer me any update on the position? Thanks for your time.” If you’re waiting to hear about a job you’re really interested in, it can be tempting to check in until you get an answer, especially if the hiring manager encourages you to continue to do so. You should, however, give yourself a limit for check-ins, usually no more than three. If you don’t get an answer by then, move on to the other positions. If you don’t hear after three check-ins, it doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t get the job. But it does mean that the timeline is definitely longer than you initially thought, and you don’t want to waste energy on it when you could be working on following up on other leads!
Summary: Time your follow up email. Remind the hiring manager who you are. Let the hiring manager know if you’ve had other offers. Limit your check-ins.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The carpet tool has a flat metal runner on the bottom, a handle on the top, and a blade on one edge. Press the tool flat against the carpet and right up against the baseboard on the sharp side. Push it along the wall, applying pressure as you do.  You can use a box cutter for this purpose, but it must have a new, sharp blade. Run it underneath the baseboard to cut the carpet. If it starts getting dull, replace the blade. Also, use a box cutter to cut out spaces for your floor vents. Look along the edge of the strip you cut off. Make sure no strings are connecting the strip to the main carpet, then pull it up and away from the carpet. If you yank up the strip without checking, you might pull fibers from the carpet that cause a run. This tool has a wide, dull blade that lets you press the carpet in place. Use it to wedge the carpet under the baseboard by pressing into the carpet until it settles in place. If you took doors off, put them back in place. Put the door stops back. If you took up floor vents, screw them back in place. Move your furniture and belongings back in place, and you're done!
Summary:
Run a carpet trimming tool along the edge. Check that you cut cleanly through the carpet before taking the strip off. Press the edge of the carpet under the baseboard with a carpet chisel. Return any hardware you removed.
