Water

Water is important. So we need to save water in order to have a healthy environment. We tried to clean water that was very dirty. We used the following materials: Sponge, charcoal, sand, coffee filter,cotton balls and more!!! When me and my partner were working on our filter a little of the water came out, and the rest was in the materials we used.
To reduce our use of water we will need to save and use it wisely.
What I learned about the footprint is that things we do daily affects our planet sometimes depends on what you use and how much percent each day.
Sustainability means the ability to conserve,maintain and support all the things we need to survive so that we can have it for a longer time. Some people don't have any ting to eat and some people have a little and some other people have a lot to eat . These people that don't have anything to eat have to steal to have something to survive . Also some people don't have electricity . There 76% that have electricity. There 24% that don't have electricity .Some people have a lot of food,electricity and shelter and don't share with people that don't have .
I think that water is very important beacuase we cannot live with out it we need it to survive. I have leaned by doing the filter experiment that water is not easy to clean, specialy to get the color and smell out of it, and that is why we cannot dirty our water we need to take care more care of it. If we dont take care of out water we will not have any water to drink or to shower of clean out out things. The water foot print we made in class showed me that we are using to much water and that we should use less we need to stop wasting it on unnessasary things.

sustainability

What is sustainability? For me and others, we say that sustainability is the ability to conserve, maintain, and support all the resources we need to survive so that we can have it forever. We need food, water, air, shelter, and a place to put waste in. Earth and all of it's people are wasting these resources. They waste food, pollute air and water, and we make to much waste. In the Secondary School for Journalism, class 712 want to conserve resources so that none of us would die and become extinct. We are currently in Febuary, 2011 and there are major issues. People are cutting down too many trees, people are dying of starvation. and air and water are being polluted so you can't breathe or drink it. My class wants to help and so should you.
water is a source that we need every day. sometimes we abuse it so much that we have less and less every day. right now 66% of the world is covered by water and only 3% of it is fresh water and water we could drink. we are using the water for nothing so soon we would be fighting for water to use. in class we did a chart the ask about how we use water. at the end of the survey it shews how much wu use every days. the water should be realy important to every bodyand we should admire it. we should always keep our waters clean. to clean our waters we should do it litle by litle. we sould also before getind it dirty not to get it dirty. water is good for drinking and cooking so we must keep our waters safe. we must keep our waters clean.

Water

Everyday people use water to wash their hands, take a shower and others. We had a work sheet where we talked about how much water we use a day. Many people got 100 gallons of water a day. We also did a experiment with Ms.Baker. The objective of this game was to make out sample of water clean. We first had to design a filter, we used things like chart coal, sand, coffee filter, etc. After we designed the filter we poured the water and then we did a water test to determined how clean it became. We compared our results. The funniest filter made had no water coming out. Everyone was amazed and suprised and rushed up to see. Many people were happy about their results. We then took our results and recorded it. Many of my teams results stayed the same but for some reason it turned harder.

Water

Recycle water is important because without it we will have nothing to drink so we'll die out. water foot print tells me that how much gallon of water we're using everyday like from leaking sink, toliets ,and hoses. most people will take a bath instead of shower so they used about 50 gallon more than taking a shower. In class we also made a filter to clean up dirty water and the water have no much different so that shows or tell us how hard to clean dirty water. we can reduce our use of water by taking 2-5 minutes shower and tell a plumer to come if there are leaking sink, hose, and toliets ETC.
