This is a town between Edwardsville, Il and Maryville, Il. Known for its fairly high level of affluence. The kids that live here are part of the well-known Edwardsville school district. See Edwardsville, IL for more information. The two towns run together, the only difference is that Glen Carbon has more money.
people who don't live in Glen Carbon or Edwardsville refer to them as snobs, when in reality, they aren't. All walks of life live here, we just present ourselves better. Learn to take pride in yourself, FOOLS!

The Carbon Cycle is probably better known as The Circle of Life. Since it is a continuous cycle, there is really no beginning of the cycle but we will start with the plants.
First the plants absorb carbon from the air through their leaves.
Then herbivores eat the plants and the plants give a percentage of their energy and their carbon to the herbivore.
Next carnivores eat the herbivores and that passes along energy and carbon as well.
Finally the carnivore dies, decomposes, and the carbon returns to the soil that eventually grows grass and other plants.
The atmosphere receives carbon from various sources but here are a couple:
- Burned fossil fuels.
- When animals exhale. (Including humans.)
- Believe it or not, volcanoes!
- Plant respiration. (When Plants "breathe" in, they also inhale oxygen so they exhale a portion of carbon dioxide.)

Grass absorbs carbon through leaves. Rabbit eats grass. Fox eats rabbit. Fox eventually dies, decomposes, and becomes soil. Soil grows new grass. That is the Carbon Cycle.

Cheap plastic used to resemble carbon fiber in an attempt to push a product (ie Suzuki motorcycle) upmarket, but in reality alerting the attentive consumer to the fact that said product will in fact, upon first attempted use reveal a fairly high Velveeta content.
"Awsome ride dude, it must be really light, hence fast, with all that Carbon Fiber."
"If only. It's really Carbon Fauxber, made from the cheapest plastic know to humanity, impossible to keep clean or paint, plus it looks crappy and suggests inherently bad design"
