Why animals should not be kept in zoos?

Why animals should not be kept in zoos?

Listen up! How would you feel if you were locked up in a cage? You wouldn’t feel happy well, that is how the animals feel, what animals you may ask they are the animals that live in zoos in those tiny cages where they can barely move around in and they spend all their lives not able to live life freely like the other animal species.

I think it is not fair so you have to do something about it, if no one will I will do something about this disrespect to the animals that entertain us at zoos let them be free they need your help so let's do this let animals be free. Animals are being deprived of their natural structure and companionship.

Asian Elephants working in timber camps live longer than those born in zoos also African elephants in the wild live more than three times as long as those kept in zoos.

How would you feel if you were an animal living like this? Does that change your mind? Do you think you will help keep those poor animals out of zoos.

why we have to stop environmental issues?

Why we need to stop environmental issues?

I am Charlotte from Papakura in Auckland I would like to make a
complaint. In this letter you will be reading about a park,
litter, and other problems, some of these problems have
ideas to help solve the problem.


First, there is too much
rubbish around, so I was thinking to clean up our street
 we live on and other streets around ours but I can not
achieve this goal because there is only me and lots of
rubbish. I was thinking that you may be able to notify
 people and ask them if they could help each other and
clean up both sides of their street. Then they can start
 reducing their waste that goes into landfill.


Second, I have also noticed that some people are paying for
the compost bins but they aren’t actually using them
 because they have handmade compost bins or brought
 bins in their backyard that they put there compost in
witch is really unfair for the people that have their own
compost bins in their backyard.


Third, On Sunday the 16th of September 2018, I went
 for a drive to McLean park and were very upset
because I couldn’t play and have fun at the park
because there are construction fences up in the park.
 Now there is no place to play and have fun or go
 for a refreshing walk in the park. But now they
have unblocked it and there is streets now not
 green anymore.Red is where we go into the
park, white is the boundary and also all the
space we could play in, and orange is where we can play now.


Fourth, plastic bags need to stop right away so I came
up with an idea instead of plastic bags for compost
 and wheelie bin liners just put the rubbish or food
 scraps in the provided bin as they are without any
 liners or plastic bags or get some paper bags.
I know that shops have taken some plastic
bags away but there is still some plastic bags
 in shops that can kill animals because they might
think it is food. If people's bins get smelly or look
very dirty they can wash them with a hose and
scrub them. Then they can leave them out in the sun to dry.


Fith, petrol taxes. The rate on liquefied petroleum gas is
31.61 pence per kilogram. The rate on natural gas used
 as fuel in vehicles is 24.70 pence per kilogram and the
rate on fuel oil burned in a furnace or used for heating is
 10.70 pence per liter. I think that is polluting the earth that
we live on which that will poison the soil and other stuff to.


I hope you can help to make a change in this world.

Why we need to stop environmental issues?

Why we need to stop environmental issues?

Listen up! Do you think we should stop environmental issues?
They are wrecking our world such as greenhouse effect,
global warming, Pollution, climate change. These are
some of the things I will be talking about.

Greenhouse effect is a radiation from a planet’s

atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a

temperature out of the ordinary, what would it

be like without this atmosphere. Active gases

in a planet's atmosphere radiate energy in all

directions which can cause epic changes to the planet.

You could help by using less heat and air conditioning

in your house also replace old light bulbs, drive less

and drive smart. Also buy energy efficient products,

use less hot water, use the off switch when your not

using something and plant more trees in your backyard (if you have one).

Global warming affects most of the oceans which

causes rising sea levels due to expansion and

melting of  glaciers and ice sheets, and warming

the oceans surface which is leading to increased

temperature. You could help by changing a light bulb,

drive less, recycle more, check your ties if there is

a hole, use less hot water, avoid products with a lot

of packaging like individually wrapped prunes, plastic

wrapped bananas, pre wrapped corn, individually

wrapped jelly beans and shrink wrapped potatoes

and cucumbers.

Air pollution causes high levels which can

cause an increased risk of a heart attack

, wheezing, coughing and breathing problems

, and irritation of the eyes, nose and throat.

Air pollution can also cause worsening of

existing heart problems, asthma, and other

lung complications. You could help by

conserving energy such as turning off the

lights, computers, electric appliances when not in use. 

Climate change affects the nature of global rainfall,

evaporation, snow, stream flow and other factors

that affect water supply and quality. These specific

impacts are warmer water temperatures which affect

water quality and accelerate water pollution. You can

help by taking actions to reduce your greenhouse

gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate

change. Here are some examples of free and

low cost actions you can take everyday.

I hope you have learnt something about

environmental issues and maybe you could

do something one day about environmental

issues. What could you do to save our planet?

Dear Glow Show Company

Dear The Glow Show Company,

Thank you for giving our school free
tickets,  I loved your glow show so
much I was blown away what you did.
I was really astonished by how you did
all of the puppets like the nine stars, fish,
stingray and other puppets. 

I liked the sounds and how you made the
puppets move to make them look like
they were actually real life. I really like
the way you sang at the end it was
very nice also I was amazed by three
people doing all that you must have
been exhausted after the show. 

   

If I had a favorite character, It would
be the Taniwha because the tail was
so cool how you moved it. My second
favorite character was the satellite
because it made funny noises when
it said Dora square pants. My third favorite
character was the star that said my Instagram.

Thank for the great show

Charlotte (Kauri hub)
