Room 227’s Blog

1.  Reflect on the message from Mr. Dyke’s presentation on Tuesday.

2.  If you go to V-Day, see if you can take pictures.  What was the experience like?  What was it like to be in a carrotmob?

3.  If you don’t go, what do you think is the value in having an event like V-Day?

4.  What does V-Day have to do with sustainability?

Remember, just say “Mai ow tung ka” if your’e a girl and “Mai Ow Tung Krup” if you’re a boy.  This means, “I don’t want a bag, please”.

Welcome back everyone and Happy New Year to all.  I will write a post about my trip to New Zealand a little later.

We are currently studying sustainability and are looking at news articles that inform us about positive and negative aspects of sustainability in the world.  We studied one article together on garbage in the Pacific Ocean.  We read the article together as a class and had a good discussion on what impact this has in our lives and the Ocean.  I found the article and news broadcast quite alarming, particularly because there doesn’t seem to be a solution we are quick to embrace.  Certainly, one of the easiest things we all can do is to recycle.  If the statistics are correct and approximately only 5% of the world is recycling, this seems to be an obvious first step.

Do you make the most of recycling?

What are your thoughts on polluted oceans?

I also found on youtube a news broadcast talking about the very same thing.  Take a look.
