My sustainabilty arguement

Dear Sir/Madam


It is definitely better to be sustainable. These are my reasons
why and what will happen if we are not sustainable.

Firstly, if we don't become sustainable soon enough people
and animals may die and that means that there will be no meat
and people will become weaker. One big thing that is killing
animals is rubbish that has been blown into the sea and has
trapped things like animals and then suffocated them. That
can easily be changed. Also by being sustainable we are saving
the future generation.

Now onto my second point. People are wasting things and
throwing them away which is making factories have to make
more and more. Have you ever thought about were all of your
waste that cannot be recycled goes. Well it goes to a landfill
which is absolutely horrible and is causing a lot of pollution.
A landfill is a large flat area that all of the resources that
we cannot recycle goes after we throw it out. There is a
lot of resources in landfills that cannot break down
for up to a year. That's disgusting. If everybody used as
much resources as America then we would need five planets
to put our resources.


Thirdly, global warming is becoming extremely bad!
Every day it is becoming more and more worse.
Scientists have said that in the last 60 years the earths
temperature has gone up .6 degrees Celsius now imagine
what it will be like in a couple of hundred years. All this
causes polar ice cap to melt. Which is killing polar bears
and giving them no other place to live. The polar ice
caps that melt will soon cause floods.



I hope that you agree with me and think that it is
definitely better to be sustainable.

Footprint diary

Firstly my parents go shopping a lot and they do not have a green bag which is recyclable and can be used way more than plastic bags. I will tell them that they have to buy a green bag because they are way more Eco friendly.

Secondly when I brush my teeth I keep the tap running which I will stop doing because every drop of water saved helps.

My third thing is to stop buying things that use a lot of packaging.

Well I have been been turning the tap of when brushing my teeth but I can't really help my third point of buying things that have less packaging. My parents have not bought a green bag but I will keep reminding them and I will add to this post when they have bought one.

Eco House

We have been learning about living sustainably. One of our ideas for this is to live in Eco houses. My Eco friendly house will have two rows of branch walls and the roof will be made out of grass and leaves sitting on a row of branches wired together. There will be a wind turbines for electricity and solar panels to give you heat instead of heaters because the use power. The windows will be double glazing so the heat inside the house will not escape. There will be a ground heat pump to give you hot water. In between the two rows of branches in the wall there will be insulation to keep the heat in from going through the walls. The floor will be bambo with insulation underneath it. There will also be a water butt to supply the water.
