C.I.P poster

In C.I.P I painted a poster and it looked cool because of me, Cody and Saia. Painted the letters and background we painted the letters red, blue, yellow and green. The background black we were trying to go for space feels so we made the background black because that's the color of space. We were working on it for a very long time ( 2 hours ).

When Saia and Cody left to kiwi Kaha I had to finish the poster by my self for 30 minutes. I finished the poster in 24 minutes. It was fun to do the poster by my self because there was no-one in my way when I needed to get to the corners. After that, I cleaned the paint brushes with Jill and cleaned the paint cup with the dirty water. Then Cody and Saia came back from kiwi Kaha I was on my Chromebook playing prodigy but after that, I went on blogger and started writing on my blog about this C.I.P.

Conclusion: 

hurumanu-Climate Change and the future.

`Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.

How is sea-level rise going to affect us in NZ

What places will be affected?

pacific islands and different parts of NZ places near rivers

What else do we need to think about?

What other places around NZ will be affected?

What does this do to our drinking water?

What are the main concerns?

1.   
2. 
   

What can we do to prevent climate change?

What can we do?

1.  use electric car
2.  use bikes
3. use bus    

Curbing climate change

What is the one, silver bullet solution?

none

What is the mix of things we need to start doing?

1.   use renewable energy
2.   use solar energy
3. don't use fossil fuels

What are 3 others you can think of?

1. destroy all fossil fuel sites
2. instead of using gas-powered cars use electric
3. use bike

Activities:

Carbon Footprint: 

Carbon Footprint explained

Dwelling
Water
Recreation
Heating and cooling
Electricity
Transportation
Food
Waste
Air Travel
Consumption

Colour 1: for actions, they are already doing 

Colour 2: for actions that they pledge to undertake in the future

Ecological Handprint The Ecological handprint builds on the concepts from the Carbon Footprint. We will look at the positive actions of:

1. Transportation
2. Community
3. Consumption
4. Water
5. Food
6. Home
7. Waste
8. time

1 Colour: For each action, you are already doing 

2 Colour: For each action, you would like to do in the future

FACTORIES: Making clothes, cars, electronics, and processed foods creates a lot of pollution. When materials like plastic, cardboard, metal, and cement are made, harmful gases are released into the air and water.

COWS: Cows create a greenhouse gas called methane when they burp and fart. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. With about 1.5 billion cows around the world, methane is having a big effect on climate change.

TRANSPORTATION: Most cars need gas or diesel to work. These come from oil, which is a fossil fuel. The carbon dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running and that destroy the trees

LANDFILL: Our landfills are growing and using up more healthy land. When waste breaks down in landfills, greenhouse gases are created, including methane and carbon dioxide. These gases contribute to climate change.

FOOD: We need food to survive, but it creates a lot of pollution. Transporting food by ships, planes, trains, and trucks add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Clearing the land for farms and farming practices also create greenhouse gases.

Electricity is a form of energy used to power almost everything in our homes. Electricity can come from renewable sources (water, wind, sun) and non-renewable sources like fossil fuels (oil, and gas). Fossil fuels release CO2 into the atmosphere.
