Us or the Government

 Whos fault is it for pollution, The Government or us indivigual people?

As we know pollution is becoming a major problem with global warming right around the corner. With these problems there are always people who cause the problems. Us indivigual people or the Government.

I believe the problem is being caused by both parties, Us indivigual people are the ones polluting where as the Government is doing nothing to prevent the pollution and destroying the enviroment.

Kakapo Planting Paradise

Tuesday, 14th of September, 2020. This is the day my class and I had the pleasure to take a trip down to Lake Ngatu to give a little back to the enviroment. We partook in planting hundreds of plants to help the enviroment grow from all the destruction that has occured to our enviroment. This activity/projects carries on with our learning about problems and destruction that is happening in our enviroment. We were thorughly excited to take this adventure in expanding and growing our enviroment. Within the hour we spent there we managed to plant around 800 plants that will eventually turn into trees which then will turn into more people being inspired by our work and carry on growing and expanding our enviroment.

The trip from our school to Lake Ngatu took around 20 minutes to drive there. After all of our class got there we met our instructor and guide, Karen. She was very helpful and explained many things such as what species of trees we would be planting, such as Manuka and Kanuka and because these plants are so similar Karen made up a thing to say so we can remember which one is which, Mean Manuka and Kind Kanuka this was because the Kanuka was nice and sof and smooth where as the Manuka was very rough and spikey. With the information on what to do we got started.

How to plant the plants:

Resources

Potted plant

Shovel/spade

Planting gloves(Optional)

Step one find a area that is realitivly good enough to place a plant, make sure that it is a least a meter away from any other plant.

Step two With a shovel/spade dig a hole about a meter down.

Step three Pick up the potted plant and squeeze on all side the potted plants have to loosen it.

Step four Gently tug on the root on the plant until it comes out.

Step five place the plant inside the hole and cover with the excess dirt you dug out.

Step six firmly press down on the dirt around the plant to make sure it dosen't fall over.

Also big thank you to summit forest for hosting us and allowing us to help them and have such a fun exerience.

Moment In Time

 The view of the mountains peak. The build up, the training, the preparation. Excited yet scared. Thinkingabout the negatives, serious damage, or iminate death but I didn't let them get to me. Ready.

And I'm off. The dust on my tail. The engine crackling. The focus and commitment put into this track. The fire sputtering and the unfamilliar surroundings revolving around me.

With the smoke eminating from my tires, the speed was immense. Drifting feeling like I'm going to fall down the bank. The fear was building up. After what felt like 10 seconds I saw that the end was near. I came to a complete stop woth the view of a beatiful sunset.

This writing was inspired by this video

How did I find this activity? 

When doing this activity I found it very fun because I could let my imagination run rampant.

What was interesting about the video? What wasn't? 

What I found intresting about the video was that he was commiting to something that would be very scary to others and the fact that he did on a mountain cliff where it would be 10x scary than any other track.

How could I improve my writing next time? 

I could improve by going more into detail or maybe making it a little bit longer.
