What A Waste

Hello, My name is Jaymiel. Today I’ll be telling you about some of the information I found in an article I read,so here you go:

(1). The Top Food Wasting Countries Are: U.S.A, Canada and Australia(the country).

(2). One THIRD of all food is wasted but more than 100 million go hungry.

(3). Wasted food is food that people just waste like throw away or don’t eat. Spoiled food is food that goes bad.

(4). Going to restaurants are also kinda bad, because if you order to much so you can’t eat it gets thrown away. All-you-can-eat buffets are the worst because sometimes you just get to much.

Do you know what carbon footprint mean well today I’ll tell you what it means the carbon footprint means

A carbon footprint is historically defined as “the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent.” (From Wikipedia)

what their saying is that the amount of carbon dioxide and other carbon stuff emitted due to consumption of fossil fuels by a particular human or group…

(The carbon footprint link)  If you go to the link you will be available to see how much space you take in the world you take, just make a account (or if u have one) just log in and then answer a few different questions (these question are NOT about your private information), and also an average person takes 2.17 Earth’s and I got 7.56 of how much carbon dioxide and about 3.56 Earth’s so I really got to make my carbon footprint DOWN more…

 

Thanks for your time!! (BYE!!)

Aquavan reflection

Aqua van ReflectionImage result for Aquavan vancouver

When I went to the aquavan presentation I met Fred, Katy, Robin and Julia. They were talking about the arctic and where the south pole and the north pole is. First they asked us to point at antarctica then showed us how far the ice of the arctic a thousand years ago and how it increased or decreased throughout the years. Then they split us into 4 groups of 8-10 people.

First my group went to our station and we talked about seals and how they lived. We also talked about if the icebergs melted then it will mess up the food chain.First the icebergs and if the icebergs and the glaciers melt then all of the small animals that live under them will all be extinct.After all of the animals under the icebergs and glaciers die then fish can’t eat so soon all of fish in the arctic will all dead.Then if all of the fish die then it’s predators the seal or narwhals can’t eat so then they will become extinct.After the seal and the narwhals become extinct then whoever the predator of the animal is/polar bear can’t eat then if the polar bear can’t eat then soon they will cease to exist. Finally if the polar bear doesn’t exist anymore then people who live in the north can’t eat the some people will start starving then die.That’s what Fred showed us about the food chain. Plus between every station they show us real alive animals that live in the ocean. After went to the next station and learned about the arctic fox and how they lived in their natural habitat.We also learned how they camouflage in the snow like polar bears.After we went to see the arctic fox we learned about turtle and tortoises and how big they can get.

FACT: Turtles and tortoises can get up to 2 meters in height.

Finally we went to see the killer whales and how they communicate from far distances.

FACT: Killer whale can hear from their jaws just like humans.

After when my group finished we went to the middle of the gym and waited until the other groups finish.After when everyone finished everybody got in a circle and shared what we learned and what was new to you and what was a review. After we finished we said thank you to Fred, Katy, Robin and julia.

And that concludes my reflection.
