6. Being On Stage - Gestures • We do not plan our gestures in regular life, so we do not need to plan them for presentations. – our objectives and emotional commitment cause our gestures.

7. Being On Stage - Helpers Don’t be drift and shuffle on stage • Anchor (tangible, podium, etc) • Destination (define a place to go while speaking) • Props (hold something to be comfortable, remote control, a piece of art, paper, pen, - makes you feel pertinent but not distracting to the audience)

8. Being On Stage - flexibility • Change your destination and where you anchor yourself on stage in order to underscore a change in emphasis, subject, or mood. This will help avoid monotony.

27. Fact of paper • The use of paper is a direct contributor to the harm of the environment via the destruction of one of our most wonderful natural resources -- trees. • Paper is the number one material that is thrown away.
  • For every 100 pounds of trash we throw away, 35 pounds is paper.
  • Paper fills up 30-40% of American landfill space. Source1 Source2
  • As paper decomposes in landfills or is burned in incinerators, chemicals from its inks are released into the environment. Source
  • Deforestation is occurring at an alarming rate worldwide, particularly in tropical regions. The World Resources Institute estimated in 1997 that only a fifth of the world's old-growth forests were undamaged, and almost half of these faced immediate threats from logging and development. Source
  • Americans use more than 50 million tons of paper each year, consuming more than 850 million trees. Source
