Recycling means taking materials from products you have finished using and making brand new products with them. For example, most of the aluminum cans in the United States are made with recycled aliminium. So if you drink juice or soda from a can, recycle that aluminum. So if you drink juice or soda from a can, recycle that can instead of throwing it in the trash.That can will stay in the Recycling Loop and out the landfill.

Who recycles? It’s a certain amount that everyone everywhere can recycle. You can recycle at home and at school. Your parents and other adults can recycle at work, and so can the companies they work for. How does recycling work? Recycling starts off with people separating recyclable recycling materials from their other old trash bins. The separated recyclable materials are collected by recycling programs, processed and then sold to manufacturers for use in new products.

What are recyclable materials?

Aluminum and steel cans, cardboard, glass, newspapers and plastic bottles are all recycable materials you can easily recycle. These items can be made into new products including cans that hold food and drinks, the steel used to build skypapers and school buses, cardboard boxes, glass jars and bottles. newspaper/ office paper, plastic laundry detergent and evn playground materials/equipment.

Also, food scraps from home or cafeterias at school can be separated rather than put in the trash. The scraps can then be turned back into nutrients that help plants grow through a process called composting, which accelerates the natural decay process. Yard waste, such as grass clippings, leaves and small tree limbs, can be converted through composting into mulch to help gardens grow. As well as that if you school has a compost bin it can get in there as simple as that and the worms will do the job!! It’s a very good way to save the environment!! How can I reduce the amount of trash I generate? The best and the only safe way to reduce the amount of trash you generate is to be a careful shopper. Don’t buy more than you need, especially if the product can go bad over time(like out of date food or food you end up hating)! As a consumer, you have purchasing power. As more and more people buy products that are reusable, refillable or concentrated, manufacturers will take notice and produce more of these Earth friendly products.
		Other ways to reduce your trash output Buy products in bulk or larger containers rather than multiple small containers. Use a sponge rather than disposable towels. Buy concentrates. Buy fresh/healthy fruits and vegetables without packaging. Avoid products with excessive packaging. Repair, rather than replace, broken items. Donate unused materials to poor charities that need it.

What about reuse? Reuse obviously means just what it sounds like: using something again rather than throwing it out(recycling). That usually means finding a new use, such as making a jelly jar into a drinking glass. It’s a great way to start off. Reuse conserves the energy and many raw materials needed to make new products to get delivered and sold by companies, and doing so saves energy and reduces the amount of pollution factories release into the air and water. By recycling or reusing plastic, metal, or glass items, you can reduce the need to mine, transport, and manufacture natural resources to make new products. Trust me this will make a greater environment to live in!!! Rather than a filthy polluted earth!!! Where does my trash go after I put it in the trashcan? Your trash is eventually picked up by a  truck collector and taken either to a landfill or a waste-to-energy incinerator. Currently, in the United States, about 26 percent of the waste generated is recycled or composted, 8 percent is burned at incinerators, and the remaining 66 percent is disposed of in landfills.

What is a landfill?

Landfill isn’t just a pile of trash buried and pile in the ground It’s a much different way to explain it. Landfills are slowly designed o prevent waste from mixing with ground water and to reduce odors. most landfills have a thick plastic liner between the ground and the trash, and layers of soil are added every day to cover up the trash on

top. Materials deposed in a landfill do not decompose very quickly.

Some types of trash are dangerous and need to be sorted out in special ways . Old paints, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaning chemicals, fluorescent lamps, mercury thermometers, batteries and electronic materials can Pollute our lands, like water and air, if they are placed in the regular trash stream, or worse yet, poured down the drain or dumped outside. So what you need to do is:

In the year 2000 (separated by the rest of the years) 1.7 million children were needlessly lost because countries around the world failed to reduce poverty levels. (Many people are struggling for a popper medication to help them live!). When all those children with Poverty grow up , they pay a heavy price. Research shows that they have more sickness, perform poorly in school, have more mental health problems, and a possibility that they might die in a early age if a positive cure is not found.

Children in poverty face greatly reduced educational prospects and future life chances. This is the conclusion not just of social policy experts and government statisticians, but of early aged children themselves. Having Poverty changes the way the children react in class and to other class mates, they also feel that they have been “got at” by their teachers some how.

Now to tell you about their daily life; After all that suffering from Poverty parents and children have to build their own houses to live, if not they have to sleep on the ground under a rock or a tree. (It’s horrifying to hear it that way). When they eventually build their homes they sleep on rotten mats, they might even have to sleep on the filthy floor if they had no choice.

Although here is a chart on poverty percentages:

The bad thing is that it is in like 2 weeks and I have not done my rountine yet or got my song! But I know what song! And I got lots of moves in my head just to keep me confident! So wish me luck guyz!

As Light as Air ‘

Sydney Harbour Bridge :

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the most recognizable symbols of Australia . The Bridge provides a frame for one of the most beautiful har bors in the world and holds a special place in the city’s heart.

Wow don’t you love the view?

Jamberoo:

Jamberoo is NSW’s biggest fun park and there’s alot of fun and entertainment to be had. Think water thrills and spill s, a massive wave pool, speed slides, rock jump, racing cars, the famous mountain toboggan…….and that’s not even half of it. Th e new ride ‘The Taipan’ is the park not for the faint-hearted! It’s the first ride of its type in Australia – consisting of two giant slides that are totally in the dark! You will descend into a disorienting world of darkness with a terrifying g ride of drops, twists and turns.

Luna Park:

Lubna Park is amazing! The good thing is that you can go in for free! But you just have to pay a couple of coins to get on the rides! Pay one amount and receive this bracelet to allow you to enter any game or ride you want! As much as times as you want! That’s what I love about Luna Park!  You can also see the lovely view of the harbor bridge while your there! That’s a bonus!

Sydney Opera House:

The Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point, which reaches out into the harbor. The skyline of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the blue water of the harbor and the Sydney Opera House, viewed from a ferry or from the air, is dramatic and unforgettable .

There are many myths surrounding the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. The most popular legend describes that Heracles was the creator of the Olympic Games, and built the Olympic stadium and surrounding buildings as an honor to his father Zeus, after completing his 12 labours. According to that legend he walked in a straight line for 400 strides and called this distance a “stadion” (Greek: “Στάδιον”)- (Roman: “stadium”) (Modern English: “Stage”) that later also became a distance calculation unit. This is also why a modern stadium track is 400 meters in circumference — the distance a runner travels in one lap (1 stadium = 400 m). Another myth associates the first Games with the ancient Greek concept of ἐκεχειρία (ekecheiria) or Olympic Truce. The date of the Games’ inception based on the count of years in Olympiads is reconstructed as 776 BC, although scholars’ opinions diverge between dates as early as 884 BC and as late as 704 BC.

From then on, the Olympic Games quickly became much more important throughout ancient Greece, reaching their zenith in the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The Olympics were of fundamental religious importance, contests alternating with sacrifices and ceremonies honouring both Zeus (whose colossal statue stood at Olympia), and Pelops, divine hero and mythical king of Olympia famous for his legendary chariot race with King Oenomaus of Pisatis, and in whose honour the games were held. The number of events increased to twenty, and the celebration was spread over several days. Winners of the events were greatly admired and were immortalised in poems and statues.^[9] The Games were held every four years, and the period between two celebrations became known as an ‘Olympiad.’ The Greeks used Olympiads as one of their methods to count years. The most famous Olympic athlete lived in these times: the sixth century BC wrestler Milo of Croton is the only athlete in history to win a victory in six Olympics.^[10]

The Games gradually declined in importance as the Romans gained power in Greece. After Emperor Theodosius I proclaimed Christianity the religion of the Empire and banned pagan rites, the Olympic Games were outlawed as a pagan festival in 393 AD.^[11]

During the ancient times normally only young men could participate.^[10] Competitors were usually nude, not only as the weather was appropriate but also as the festival was meant to be, in part, a celebration of the achievements of the human body. Upon winning the games, the victor would have not only the prestige of being in first place but would also be presented with a crown of olive leaves. The olive branch is a sign of hope and peace.^[12]

Even though the bearing of a torch formed an integral aspect of Greek ceremonies, the ancient Olympic Games did not include it, nor was there a symbol formed by interconnecting rings. These Olympic symbols were introduced as part of the modern Olympic Games.

That’s the Beijing Olympic Game Symbol/stamp/sign Those are little toys that represent the Olympic flag!

So that’s the birds nest where the Olympic G games are held in that stadium!!

I chopped something white, I had to chew some gum to stop me from crying while i cut the object.

This is a clue everyone it is a vegetable. And here is another clue, It starts with a O & ends with a N.

What is the thing that i chopped? The answers will be held after a couple of comments!!

Hope you get the answer right! Good luck! Here are some pictures to see what i mean!

She looked back and founded a shadow behind her, ” Hellooo Isaabbeellaa”, I want my revenge on what you did to me yesterrrddaayyyyyyy”, she said in a hooweee way. ” What did I do yesterday?”, Isabella asked politely. ” You left me here and ran away without bringing any help for me”, the goat said madly with her face extremely red. Oh i remember (oops), she thought to her self. So Isabella ran and ran but she felt no movement with the ground she was flowing up and up and up and up until she reached death to her self.

” Why are you doing this?”, Isabella asked. ” This is for not helping me from my dreadful death, so that means you will die the same death as me”. So I flowed up with humongous rage and I could not breath from the overflow she gave me up in the air. I could not breathe that I let my self die in disbelieve.

So that means I will you know to my friends……….Death Death Death Death. There is now evil inside me like her……………….. Darkness, I could feel. We both turned into twins with our own two graves behind us with my teady bear with me.

( Freaked out now?)

When we all sat down to enjoy our time one of the teachers called out ” S3E (My class) and S3C will not be watching this debate today”. Than we all grumbled and walked our way out. We were so angry that we even started to ask the teacher questions she did not know!! After hours of boredom the bell for lunch rang, I asked someone “who one the debate?”, and guess what they said! Our school won!!!!!!!!!! woohooooo!

So that means that our class and S3C will be watching the next debate hopefully!!

Yay! See ya!! Bye

( There I am i’m the white hat! I look embarrassing eh? And that’s my sister Diala on the left with the blue hat, she  is younger than me, she is 8 years old!! And in the middle is Sarah, a good friend of mine. 

Even though we were all above the time limit we still had very good arguments and we had very good rebuttals.

In this first debate it was: 1st speaker, me; 2nd speaker, Naomi ; 3rd speaker, Ramiz ; and team advisor, Celia . At Belmore South we usually have 2 extra people in the debating team but we haven’t found out who those two people are yet.

Hope we do as well as we did in this debate in our upcoming debates.

Now look at Cathy Freeman the running machine!!!

I was tired, when i saw a man who was fired in the middle of the Sun Rise Set.

When I looked away I felt a little bit wacky, then shaky when i turned around from the Sun Rise Set.

This is a Poem, to help you show’em that this story is only about the Sun Rise Set.

Now I will go then I will flow in the view of the Sun Rise Set.

Will the sunset send a note? Will the sunset send a boat? Oh, It will send a little coat over the Sun Rise Set.

” No”, said. oops… it was three dollars! but the lady on the bench still accepted it! So on my way home I gave my mum the ring. She loved it!!

After a while we went to get the Sunday Telegraph, When we got it i saw a list of things to do for my mum(not chores). I done all the things it told me to do. Than i made desert for my mum. It was a face. She loved it. It contained: cake, grapes , carrot, and Mandarins.

That was a good day! (next post will be about what Natalie said, “the cross country”!!)
