What do you feed eastern box turtles?

I recently got an eastern box turtle. I found him in my ally. I usually dont take animals out of the wild but where i live, he wouldve gotten hurt. To many loose/stray dogs and cats everywhere and other threats. And also i live basically on a highway with alot of cars going through. I dont even know how he got here. Its amazing to me. I thought about taking him down to the river but its nothing but a big polluted mess. Its nasty. I've been taking care of reptiles for quite a while but never had a turtle. I usually only keep lizards. I've seen videos of these turtles eating lots of things but the only thing he seems to eat is waxworms and nightcrawlers so far. He won't eat any fruits and vegetables like i see in videos. I'm thinking it's just because hes from the wild. So what do you feed your eastern box turtles? And also. How many watts should a heat bulb for this turtle be? The one i have for him right now is a 50w with uva. I also have a uvb bulb for him as well>

How water pollutes? explain briefly?

It de-polutes, the opposite of pollutes. When we have no rain we have more pollution. Western Australia is in a crazy drought & because of it allergy sufferers are sicker than normal. I have not been able to live a normal life for well over a year because of it.

Does it snow a lot in Boulder, CO? Fort Collins? Denver?

I live in Idaho, and I am thinking about moving to CO. I've heard that there is a lot of snow, and I have heard there isn't that much. Where I live we get about 4 feet of snow that stays on the ground the whole winter. Does it snow for a day and then melt, or does the snow usually stick around for a while?

What is a person's growth potential in this situation?

A person has grown up in a poor country where he was malnourished, the air was heavily polluted, and there was a lot of violent crime, so he lived in constant fear. These factors caused him to not grow as tall as his genetic potential would have allowed. If he moves to a rich country at age 21, where there is nutritious food, clean air, and safe neighbourhoods, can this improved quality of life cause him to grow to his full genetic potential? Or is it too late in his life to grow taller?

I appreciate that this is horrifically bad, but thoughts?

Not sure why you think "horrifically bad" but I got the picture. The purpose of telling a story, be it fiction or non, is to communicate a thought or idea. I thought it was very descriptive of the details and created a scenario I could see in my head and almost experience with my senses. You gave enough detail but did not overdue it to the extent of boredom. When people read fiction they want the experience of feeling like they are there. Just keep finding descriptions of detail that triggers the readers senses. Like right now I am thinking of chocolate! I can see it, smell it and taste it though I have not even bought it yet:) Just keep in mind it is easier to make the reader experience something they have actually experienced. When it comes to something less common, pay special attention to the key details to make it come alive. Your little excerpt here scores an A+ in my book!!

Why two stroke engine more pollute the atmosphere?

Incomplete combustion. The exhaust port on a two stroke is open at the same time as the intake port so some unburned fuel is expelled. Also, two strokes burn an oil gas mixture which contains several undesirable compounds.
