End of the year reflection

oscard2016 on

I learned how to create an essay and correct its mistakes and structure. I learned how to make cooked notes out of my raw notes to make a good solid awnser that supported my inquiry question. My third thing that I learned was how to calculate poetry writtig and find hyperbole, irony, metaphor and more.

My best memorie of English is when we went around doing the talking circle where we got to learn more about my classmates. Continue reading End of the year reflection

Letter To Trump About Paris Accord

oscard2016 on

Dear Mr President,

I am writing this letter to you because i believe that you and i have different views on climate change.  I noticed that you are set to pull out of the Paris accord. However i would advice you not to proceed with this because this could greatly endanger all of your country if not the entire world.

If you choose to pull out of the agreement you will start to change our ecosystem faster because your country is the second largest Co2 emitter in the world. If you continued on with your carbon usage, you will release “3 billion tones of carbon dioxide a year” This would cause our the ice to melt faster, water to rise faster and we would have stronger storms.

I agree that you should balance out ecological and economic changes so that you can have a sustainable system. I disagree with the fact that you decided to drop out of Paris accord for your economic benefit over the well being of the worlds ecological system.

In the end i do not agree with your choice of leaving the Paris accord because it will cause a lot of damage for your country and the world.

Thanks for you consideration of my letter,

Oscar Dhut

 

The Poop On Composting

  1. plastic or Styrofoam

 

  1. Waste has to be put into the landfill where as compostable waste can be turned into soil for your gardens.

 

  1. The food that you are eating is completely organic, it is made from nature.

 

  1. Something is compostable if it comes from nature. If it came from nature it is probably going back.

 

  1. It is discouraged because dog poop can take up too 3 years to decompose.

 

  1. One of the dangers of having a compost bin in you back yard is that it can attract bears.

 

  1. Food gets taken to the plants that remake compost back into plant food.

 

  1. When living things start to rot and decay.

 

  1. The thing that cause it to smell was the fact that the compost was 25 degrees hotter than the air around it. It could also smell because of the rain that it soaks up.

 

  1. I don’t think he needs to let dr hall know because the odor was just naturally accruing when he turned up the ground.

 

  1. Glucose+Oxygen= Carbon dioxide+Water+ATP

 

  1. It is hotter inside the compost because the bacteria release heat into the pile of compost but it gets trapped warming up the pile.

 

  1. The benefits of composting are good for the soil, helps make bacteria break down organic matter faster, it reduces the methane that is released from landfills and dumps.

 

  1. Vermicomposting is when people use the poop of many different types of earth worms to create a strong decaying agent.

 

  1. Mesophilic bacteria live best in temperatures 20 and 40 degrees Celsius. It is great at decomposing organic compost.

 

  1. Up to day 47 it is thermophilic bacteria, and after that the temperature starts to decline into mesophilic.

 

  1. Yes, there will still be composting. The process will get slower and slower due to the temperature of the water.

 

  1. Yes, of course he should pick through the bins, it wont be a clean and nice experience but you will be helping nature grow and decompose other food waste.

 

  1. Some of the problems that people face with starting a compost at home are: it smells really bad, it is hard manual labour, it looks gross and it can attract lots of pest that you dot want around.

 

  1. It takes longer to decompose because there is way more compost then in your backyard bins. It is a large industrial system.

 

  1. Well it is because the smell that you smell from the outhouse is the same smell of chemicals that are decomposing materials.
