In the United States and Canada, for example, a simple handshake or nod is the norm.
The handshake has an interesting origin: it started long ago as a way of showing people that
you weren't carrying a weapon. Shaking the person’s right hand while looking him or her in
the eye is the usual method. Handshakes are also common in other parts of the world,
including Britain and Russia. In Russia, males grasp other men’s hands very strongly during
the handshake. Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each other.
However, the native Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press
their noes together in a sign of trust and closeness.
In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common
when two people meet. In those cultures, people kiss each other on the cheeks. The number
of times varies depending on the particular country. In Saudi Arabia, men might hug and
kiss each other (but not a woman) on the cheek. Men will also shake hands with other men
there. In some Eastern countries, including Korea and Japan, bowing is the traditional
greeting. In Japan, the deeper the bow, the deeper the respect shown. The strangest custom,
though, is likely in Tibet. People there opt to stick out their tongue to greet others.

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It
comes from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people
produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person
can help save the environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again.
Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes
very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in
a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved
by taking short shower instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or
washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing
your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should
also try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be
made into compost for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day,
but we can reduce that amount by recycling and reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more
polluted.
