Why You Should be Sustainable

Have you ever thought that what you do affects the earth? That when you throw away tins and bottles you are killing animals? Have you ever thought attitude is what makes the difference? Well if you’ve done these things, listen closely, because you’re in for a shock.

Did you know that what you the difference. Yes, granted, you might just be one person, but we are a world, and a world that needs help. With countries like China burning fossil fuels into the atmosphere we have to act and know. So armed with that piece of knowledge we have to act, and fast.

Did you know that by throwing away recyclable items such as tins and bottles you are causing unnecessary pollution? By chucking recyclable materials you are not only destroying our fragile environment but you are needlessly killing animals and fish. So think next time you go to the bin, who will this affect?

Without the right attitude you are one of many helping destroy this earth. If everyone thought it doesn’t matter what I do, I’m just one person. That is a deadly attitude; with that attitude this world would definitely die. People who make the difference are the ones who make a change. So if you do act know, it surely be too late.

So if you still think sustainability isn’t real you’re a strong believer, but as we all know, our world needs us, so we must act.

Joe Clement

Joe talked to us about what sustainability is;
economics, recycling, reusing, using resources wisely, power and architecture.
He also talked about meeting the needs of the future without compromising the needs of today.
He also said 1/4 = land 1/16= desert 1/32= rocks, which means 1/32 of earth is left for growing so use this space wisely.

Econmics, Supply and Demand

This graph shows the equilibrium point.

With supply and demand always see-sawing what do we really know about the financial state of this worlds trade? The supplier and producer have major parts in, how much the product price, how much there is and how easy it is to find. For instance a producer will pay for the product to be at eye level so that the consumer will notice the product.
Where the green and reed lines meet is called the equilibrium point, this is the point where the producer and the consumer are both happy.
For instance if a PC game wins an award the market is willing to pay more for the product, this can be called an economic relationship.
I learnt all this from brain pop

Eco Houses



This eco house does not have electricity, but it will protect you from rain, wind and storm, but most importantly will keep you warm. This is an important part of surviving on an empty island. So I'm asking you, if this isn't a eco house, then what is?
