The Plastic Pledge

Over the past few decades some of New Zealand’s beaches have become dumping grounds for waste and rubbish. Almost 80% of this waste is made up of plastic items. (WOW)

Some companies in New Zealand have heard about the problem and agreed to cut down on their use of plastic. Countdown supermarkets, for example, have announced that they will stop 

giving out plastic 

bags to customers.  What do you think of this idea? What do your friends and family think? Is it a good idea or not?

I think countdown is smart because if one store stops it might inspire another store :)

My family might be annoyed when we forget the bag but we will just buy a new one <3

Campaigning for Conservation

New Zealand is home to so many beautiful and unique and sometimes endangered animals and habitats. The Forest & Bird organisation is working really hard to protect vulnerable animals and places in NZ. They are doing everything that they can to raise money and to raise awareness so that everyone knows about these issues.

Imagine, that you have been hired by Forest & Bird New Zealand to work on one of their campaigns. It is your job to come up with a catchy slogan for the campaign. A slogan is a short phrase or 

\/  sentence that is used to advertise something Like these: \/

My Champaign is Plastic free:

Plastic Free = More Species

What do you think?

What would yours be?

Restricted Access

One of the most unusual and spectacular sites to visit outside of New Zealand is called Machu Picchu. It is an ancient city that was built high up in the mountains in the country of Peru in South America. You have to take a train and/or walk through a series of mountains and valleys to reach it.

Over the past few decades millions of tourists have made the trek to Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, this has damaged the area and the local government has decided to restrict the number of visitors to the site each year. This decision has upset a lot of tourists who really want to see Machu Picchu but aren’t allowed to go.

What do I think?

I think it is fair because the damage may be bad and something bad might happen when lots of people go so there is a reason for a limit.Tourist need to learn that Machu Picchu Is damaged and is restricted for a good reason :)

Predator Free 2050 – A Call to Arms

There is currently a huge drive to get rid of all predators from New Zealand. Predators are animals that in some way damage our natural environment and Many organisations are working hard to accomplish this goal.

I watched 3 videos and the one that really got my attention was this one:https://vimeo.com/271173180

Why?

Cause I hate rats and stuff...

And because rats eat our kiwi's and the kiwi's are in danger :(

So the guy decided to put a tracker thingy to see what they are up to (To see it they have eggs and to see if rats are near so they can save them)

This video is very good for people that don't understand why kiwi's are in danger.

Thank you for reading! :)
