The Black Drain...

Hey guys today I am completing this task

Approximately two-thirds of all rivers and one-half of all lakes in New Zealand are too polluted to swim in, according to a recent article in an online newspaper. One of the most polluted is the Tarawera River in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. Pollution enters the river from a local pulp and paper mill, from local farms and through the local sewage system. Many other rivers in New Zealand are also polluted with waste from businesses and farms.

Use Google to help you find two other polluted rivers in New Zealand.

On your blog, tell us:

1) The names of the rivers - The Heathcote River 2) The location of the rivers - Canterbury 3) What is being done to clean up the rivers (if anything) - Environment Canterbury recently introduced strict new environmental requirements for the region's farmers, requiring most farms to develop Farm Environment Plans showing how farms will take action to mitigate risks like nutrient leaching, soil erosion, effluent risks and protect waterways through actions such as fencing off waterways and undertaking riparian planting. The plans are independently audited. Since the introduction of these new rules, waterways are now showing improvements across a number of measures.

1) The names of the rivers - Grey River 2) The location of the rivers - West Coast 3) What is being done to clean up the rivers (if anything) -government funding was made available to build a sewerage treatment plant.

Faded Glory

Hey guys today I am completing this task-

The Australian government is working to protect and preserve the reef. Each year they spend about $200 million dollars repairing and protecting the reef. It is a lot of money and they could really use some help raising the money (funds) required to repair the reef. This is where you come in!

• On your blog, list three different ideas or strategies for raising funds to preserve the Great Barrier Reef. What could you do to fundraise here in New Zealand.

1. Sell things you dont need any more then donate the money you raised(In my opinion I will donate it to kid in need no offense).

2. Put up signs that say help raise money for the Great Barrier Reef because Australias goverment has been using 200 million year.

3. Ask your family to help sponsor Great Barrier Reef

Bye guys thanks for reading comment I hope you get the most points so I can win.

Hey guys today I am back with another task here it is...

Fishing is a really common activity in New Zealand. In fact, people have fished in New Zealand for centuries. Unfortunately, over the past few decades some people have caught too many fish in one area and left the region without enough fish to refill (replenish) the stocks. When this happens we call the area ‘overfished’ and it is closed to all private and commercial fishing. If people are caught fishing in these areas, they are required to pay a fine (money). The maximum fine for fishing in a restricted area is $100 000.

What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for overfishing?

I think that the rule is good because if so many people come to fish but then over fish its going to kill all of the fish and then all we can eat is meat like steak,lamb,pork and chicken. People could get sick of it then what are they going to eat the foods with chemicals in it or what. If all the fish were dead how will we make more fish we never created fish god did to help us eat food thats why people have to think before they do. Because once there gone theirs know going back.

Hey guys today I am completing this task - Some people like logging because it creates jobs for the loggers and generates money for New Zealand while others are against (opposed to) logging. Many of those opposed are worried that logging will damage the environment. It might also force animals who live in trees (eg. owls) to find new homes.

What do you think about logging?

On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.

I think logging should not be allowed in New Zealand because if all the trees get cut down how are we suppose to breath people should think before its to late. The other reason logging should be banned because if you are cutting down the tree and you fall with the tree what do you think will happen you could kill yourself or hurt yourself.

Bye guys thank for reading:)

The WWF: World Wildlife Fund

Hey guys today I am completing this task - For this activity, we would like you to learn more about other work that is done by the World Wildlife Fund to save endangered animals. Please click on one of the two links below and watch the short video.

Clip #1: Freshwater Seals

Clip #2: Tigers

Once you have watched the video, go to your blog and, using full sentences, tell us:
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.

3) What, if any, success they have had protecting the animal. 

So I picked tiger because I think we should protect tigers before they get extincted. The WWF is telling people in the world that it doesn't matter where you are you can help protect tigers too. They managed to chase the people away and stop them from killing the tigers. Be a hero too and help us keep tigers protected.
