"What are we meant to do? Global warming is not going to effect us!" This is one of the main excuses that we hear from people who just don't care about weather or not global warming is real, even if it is proven. So I am about to tell you a few thigns that global warming will do to effect us. You may not be aware, but global warming has already started to effect us! Yes, that's right ! Did you know that, the warming is most likely to a lot more powerful droughts <em>and</em> heat waves, also, unusually strong storms -- such as the ones that left at least millions of Northwesterners shivering in December, while killing 13 people!!! Which is one of the reasons why researches are more than 90 percent certain that global warming is caused by humans. Us! We are causing all of his! Do you feel guilty yet? Well, if you don't yet. get ready to because I'm onto my second point.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Secondly, a few of the animals that are about to become extincht from global warming.</p><ul><li>Polar bears.</li></ul>A lot of polar bears are becoming endangered because of global warming, all of the ice is melting because of the amount of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Which causes the iceto melt, which leaves the polar bears with nowhere to live.<br /><br /><br /><br /><ul><li>Sea lions,</li></ul><br /><br /><br /><p>These ae becoming extinct because of the same reason of polar bears. Along with,</p><ul><li>Seals.</li></ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih6cwOUsfBsP7Mfwf0QU74QK8AnNkpEPuCO-bRWCLZVNRKx1fzjsGtrRsRyEknlL-lad0w6Sdfb_W5g6Hu_kJlJ7afnh_PiHtu65MYDPMGf92tdYvBa4AJi-ypGM64F41EvdXdYlYBZrU/s1600-h/AHHHHHHHHH!+NOOOOOOO!.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357833823211802466" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 124px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 121px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih6cwOUsfBsP7Mfwf0QU74QK8AnNkpEPuCO-bRWCLZVNRKx1fzjsGtrRsRyEknlL-lad0w6Sdfb_W5g6Hu_kJlJ7afnh_PiHtu65MYDPMGf92tdYvBa4AJi-ypGM64F41EvdXdYlYBZrU/s200/AHHHHHHHHH!+NOOOOOOO!.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p>Look at this heart breaking picture that shows that global warming is not the only cause of seals dying. Waaaahhhhhh!</p><br /><br /><p>Finally, what can we do to help. Here are some things that you can do to help stop global warming. This information is from a really cool website. </p><p>An A-Z of things to help save the environment.</p><ul><li>A.void fast food.</li></ul><p>Fast food is very over packaged and are responsible for producing mountains and mountains of trash! So avoiding fast food is great to reduce all that garbage.</p><ul><li>B.ike instead of riding in a car.</li></ul><p>If you bike instead of riding in a car, you will help reduce CO2 released into the atmosphere. It is also fun! </p><ul><li>C.hange you'r normal lightbulbs to energy efficient ones.</li></ul><p>These are the same price as the normal ones <em>AND</em> they will saveyou more! Double benifit!</p><ul><li>D.on't buy aerosols.</li></ul><p>They can not be recycled! How bad is that!</p><ul><li>E.at organic food.</li></ul><p>Organic food doesn't get sprayed with chemicals and nasty stuff. It'll even stop all those chemicals being washed into the oceans ETC.</p><ul><li>F.eed the birds.</li></ul><p>If you feed the birds, it will bring a bit of nature into you r backyard, it will also help because the birds should eat the bugs in your garden.</p><ul><li>G.row a garden.</li></ul><p>This will be easy because you won't have to buy a lot of food. It will also help reduce the waste that is made when fruit and veges are imported into N.Z.</p><p>If you want to see more easy ways to become sustainable, go to, <a href="http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/vines/4990/gglist.html"><span style="color:#6666cc;">http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/vines/4990/gglist.html</span></a></p><p> Thank you for reading and I am sure that I have convinced you to be sustainable.</p><p><br /></p><p>References:</p><a href="http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/vines/4990/gglist.html"><span style="color:#6666cc;">http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/vines/4990/gglist.html</span></a><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.greenfacts.org/studies/climate_change/l_2/global_warming_4.htm#1"><span style="color:#6666cc;">http://www.greenfacts.org/studies/climate_change/l_2/global_warming_4.htm#1</span></a></p><p><a href="http://www.seattlepi.com/local/302204_warming02.html"><span style="color:#6666cc;">http://www.seattlepi.com/local/302204_warming02.html</span></a></p><p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3351743/Polar-bears-could-become-extinct-because-of-melting-ice-scientists-claim.html"><span style="color:#6666cc;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3351743/Polar-bears-could-become-extinct-because-of-melting-ice-scientists-claim.html</span></a></p>pinkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15831668045634146587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931377807551682994.post-80850339238165703072009-06-15T00:38:00.000-07:002009-06-15T00:45:48.341-07:00Diary entry #4<span style="color:#009900;">Hi!

Goods are material things like bycicles,Cds, cellphones or cars or houses. Services are things that you need to have done, like car washes, house cleaning or golf lessons. We also studied the "relationship" between the consumer and the producer.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">The consumer is kind of like the customer and the producer is the one who sells the goods or services.As you can see in this graph, we studied the Equilibrium point. The Equilibruim point is when both the supply and the demand are at a equal spot.

Pinky here! </span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">I have a bit more info on my job on the island as a "zoologist".</span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Lions, tigers and bears are three of the many thousands of animal species that zoologists study. They research all aspects of animal life, including where animals live and how they interact with their surroundings. Sounds cool dosen't it?! A zoologist studies or works with animal life, its origins, characteristics, life processes, behavior, evolution and relationship with other organisms. Phew! That was a mouthful!</span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">In general, all zoology specializations involve work with animals, either in the wild or in a evil lab! Mwah ha ha! Just jokes!</span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">A zoologist is kind of like a vet. Except that a vet looks after animals when they are sick but a zoologist just studies them.</span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">So I hope I do a good job!</span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Wish me luck!

Pinky here!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Today I am talking about the eco-house that we are going to have on the Matai islands.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">A lot of peopleare just building houses willy-nilly not even focusing on how their house is actually energy efficient. So I am going to help. I am going to describe some eco-friendly things you should probably have in your house and why.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Here is a really helpful website that has a lot of different eco-friendly resources and ideas.<br /></span><a href="http://www.righthouse.co.nz/"><span style="color:#009900;">http://www.righthouse.co.nz/</span></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFjib69rXLVYGI1wr37PiqW0Uxcn42kVUZr2BP5gl7aL_7jm5qhkd5Ahhe7F8K5W2_tACyeJbUYlKEBTSKN7Mc24izEk3tgpADBfTFCWQ2auDnkDE3nj8onVlgjNaxDJHtsMET9kVMPkU/s1600-h/aaaa.jpg"></a><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Here are a few subjects I am going to be talking about.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><ul><br /><br /><br /><li><span style="color:#009900;">solar water heating.<br /><br /></span></li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li><span style="color:#009900;">Energy efficient lightbulbs.</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;"></span> </p><p><span style="color:#009900;">I would talk abou more but I don't have enough time.

This is because the sun rises and usually shines<em> down</em> not across. The suns rays that the solar panel has collected usually shines down directly or indirectly (depending on the system) to the water stored in the hot water cylinder.</span></p><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><span style="color:#009900;"><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div></span><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><p align="center"><span style="color:#009900;">Obviously the sun is not always shining. So when the sun has set a "back up" system kicks in. The back up system is usually powered by either eleteric, gas or wetback. A solar hot water system consists of three main parts:</span></p><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><span style="color:#009900;"><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div></span><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><ul><p align="center"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </p><li><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;">The solar hot water collecter which is located on the roof as I said before.</span></div></li><p align="center"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </p><li><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;">A hot water tank which can be found in either the ground of also on the roof.</span></div></li><p align="center"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </p><li><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;">And last but not least pumps and a controller.</span></div></li></ul><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><span style="color:#009900;"><div align="center"><br /><br /></span><span style="color:#009900;">How they work:<br />Solar hot water systems are either closed loop or open-loop systems</span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZuaIT72yZqxpvlLibuY4lByNEaYpchv_gyt5riJ7KtLDaOVLueLGXp6jkzfOKiEZfMSztfTC_F8nkisQOv13vRhBM5sfkqPKujI-I1apcB_wdZajKHhvo0Oqr3_tBCVpOL1sVrSxGeX4/s1600-h/thingamajig+2.bmp"><span style="color:#009900;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332860935360757618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 116px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZuaIT72yZqxpvlLibuY4lByNEaYpchv_gyt5riJ7KtLDaOVLueLGXp6jkzfOKiEZfMSztfTC_F8nkisQOv13vRhBM5sfkqPKujI-I1apcB_wdZajKHhvo0Oqr3_tBCVpOL1sVrSxGeX4/s200/thingamajig+2.bmp" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#009900;"><br /><br /><br /></div></span><div align="center"><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">This is a closed loop system.<br /></div></span><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuxkeucSm8h1rxzz8T1FegEiwVM3cg8s3y1bEXfYLg5pbxaJL44MvLXpUlYiRivB2GaL_6fKGy9JCSQJeqniVfYuazCnyBQPgB5SllNMscueXRObdj0Nlf8Tkq_WXqtBSHh5Z3qIkWP0/s1600-h/thingamajig.bmp"><span style="color:#009900;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332860928311511154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 116px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuxkeucSm8h1rxzz8T1FegEiwVM3cg8s3y1bEXfYLg5pbxaJL44MvLXpUlYiRivB2GaL_6fKGy9JCSQJeqniVfYuazCnyBQPgB5SllNMscueXRObdj0Nlf8Tkq_WXqtBSHh5Z3qIkWP0/s200/thingamajig.bmp" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#009900;"><br /></div></span><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="color:#009900;">This is an open loop system</span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="color:#009900;">See if you can tell the difference.</span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;">These solar hot water heaters are good because they . . . . . . . </span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;">Cut household water heating bills by up to 50–75%<br />Reduced environmental impact<br />System pays for itself in energy savings<br />Makes an energy-efficiency statement</span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><p align="center"><span style="color:#009900;"></span></p><div align="center"><span style="color:#009900;">They are also very safe.</span></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><p align="center"><span style="color:#009900;"><strong>Energy efficient lighbulbs.</strong></span></p><div align="center"><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">We've all seen those little lightbulbs that look curly.

Pinky here! </span><br /><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">We have to think up of all the jobs that we need to have on our island in order to, um, how do I put this, SURVIVE!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">Interior decorators</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We need interior decorators to design the insides of our houses and buildings. Without them our houses would practically be empty.</span></p><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">A landscape designer</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">I think we need a landscape designer incase we decide to build a house somewhere but the lansd needs to be flattened first. Or maybe If we want to "bling" the backyards of our Eco-Friendly houses. </span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">A plumber</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We need a plumber on our island incase we have a leak in our pipes or something.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">grocers</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We need "supermarket people" The ones who sell us the products from the farmers and all of the other stuff like energy-efficient lightbulbs.</span></p><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">builders</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">Duh!!! We need a builder to build our houses and our classes and the other essential building that we CANNOT live without.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;"> Architects</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">Obviously there is no use having a builder if there are no houses to build! We need an architect to help design all of our Eco-Friendly houses and buildings.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">A few farmers.</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We need a few farmers to help, Um, farm? If we need fertiliser for our plants the farmers will need to "get to work" gathering all of the fertilisers. Another example is food. The farmers could dig up gardens and grow vegetables and fruit.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">A mayor</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We need a mayor to help make all of the important decisions at the Matai islands. If we need permission to build a new house we go to the mayor, if we wnat to go on a hike, we would ask the mayor. The mayor is kind of like the teacher at a school the "leader".</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">"The Board"</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">The board is kind of like the "council" at our school. They help the mayor make his or her decisions. They are kind of like the mayors assistants bevause the mayor has to ask for their opinion before going ahead with the decision.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">Doctors</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We need a doctor for our "Boo-Boo's" If we fall over and break our arm we go to the doctor if we get a eally bad innury we go to the doctor. It kind of goes without saying that we need a doctor.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">Nurses</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We also need a nurse. A nurse would tend to the minor injuries like, scratches or minor burns. Or take a look at the patients with bad injuries while the doctor is busy.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#009900;">Police officers </span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#009900;">We need some authority in our town. If someone steals something we need proof! So police officers o help us prove things.
