Kia Ora bloggers, in Literacy we had to make a parody about a poem called, This is Just to Say, it is a very old poem, by William Carlos Williams. 

Hope you like my poem! 

Term 1 - Self Portrait

Kia Ora bloggers, this is my portrait, at school everyone is making a self-portrait, but we had to add things we like or other things like where we are from.

On my drawing, you can see on the left side that I like to do many things like sports, Netflix or movies, Tik Tok, and others, on the right side I have added things I also love like my family and pets. At the bottom I have drawn where I am from, I'm from New Zealand but also part Maori and even Scottish but I didn't add that.

Hope you like my post!

Term 1 - All about waste

Everyone wastes stuff, like food. There are kids that don't even get a single meal, over 800 million people go to bed hungry, we throw out our food without realising what we are doing. Almost every country spends over $220 billion dollars on growing, transporting and processing each year, nearly 70 million tons of food just end up going into the bin, all those people out there without getting fed, here we are just wasting it all.

When we are wasting food, we aren't just wasting the food we are wasting all the recourses that went into growing it, all that waste just ends up wasting approximately a quarter of our water supply from uneaten food or over $172 billion in wasted water. When growing our food and putting to waste it actually ends up using up 21% of our freshwater, 19% of our fertilizer, 18% of our cropland and 21% of the landfill volume. After the food is disposed of in a landfill it rots and becomes a source of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.

If food is dropped or wasted, all the resources that been used to create it, even water, land and energy are also wasted, at the same time as the calories and nutrients they contain are wasted.
