What we did today (6th April)

Today is the 6th May 2008. In class we did UOI for 4 periods but all that time was not wasted, it was used. We practiced the Global Warming play. Then, miss gave me and Rhea an article which said that some people collected the wasted food, vegetable peels, fresh garbage, dry leaves, etc. from their apartment into a big place, then after some days, they kept bacteria and earthworms in that place so it threw its waste in there so our waste and its waste mixed and it became good manure but it takes time. So they kept little bit in packets and sold them. So not only they earned money, they helped the environment. So Rhea and I decided to do that kind of an action: do what those people did. We didn’t think that we could do it at home because we didn’t have a garden big enough, so we decided to do it in school. We first needed to collect garbage and waste. So we also wanted to know where the wasted food and vegetables peels from our school go. Then Rhea and I made a bigger group (so Sara and Ricky joined) and made the interview questions to ask Mr. Ramaswami. After the interview, we shared what each group has done for one period. Our group told the answers of Mr. Ramaswami. The boys made badges and bookmarks saying not to take drugs.
Miss said that we could make a card. A card that is folded into a quarter (1/4). So on the folded side, we can draw the Earth in the past, but when opened the drawing is all pollution.
Our teacher also said that we could make a pamphlet about pollution and global warming. Everyone can make 20 to 30 of them.
There was on the internet a site which is www.kidsforfuture.com . On that site, it showed a comic that was about how we can change the future so we wouldn’t give too much CO2.
