Little voices, big differences

 Hi, next months cause is gonna be... (intense drum roll).... Animal cruelty! We will learn about what unfair things humans are doing to innocent animals, and how we can help!  And I just made a dog toy ( for a friend's dog ), which you might think is nothing to do with climate change, but actually I used recycled materials. The link is  here  if you want to give it a try. It says use fleece, but I used some old tights. Thanks, Meadow Joy xxx

  Hi everyone, sorry I have been a bit quiet but I've been on holiday. I'm now back home and wanted to do another blog post about climate change. This one is about one particular biome that I think we should do more to preserve. (A biome is a habitat, an area with a similar climate and landscape. There's lots of different types. Today we'll be looking into the ice biome).  What human processes are affecting the ice biome? Humans burning oil and mining all around the world releases greenhouse gas into the air, which makes the whole atmosphere hotter. The heat melts the ice in the ice biome. The water from the ice goes into the sea, which means there is more water, so the sea levels rise, and there's less land.  (Not fun) fact: If emissions continue to rise unchecked, the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer by 2040. But this is all going on outside the biome. There's also stuff going on inside the biome that damages it. For example - humans building roads and v...

 Hi, just saying, I'm going on holiday, so I won't post for a while. Happy Easter holidays, Meadow Joy xxx

Hello everybody! Today we're going to be looking at some different ways we are polluting the planet. I've done some research and this is what I've found.  Did you know?  About 70% of the food we bin is still absolutely fine to eat! Up to 10% of all the greenhouse gas we produce is generated by food loss and waste. This is  five times more than what we produce through flying planes A running tap wastes roughly 6 litres per minute Some of the things that humans are wasting that causes climate change include: Wasting food - food takes a lot of energy to make, and sometimes its made in factories, or flown across the world, so this is definitely not good for the planet. Wasting water - similar to food, it takes a lot of processing and energy to make the water clean and get it to your tap, so when we waste water, we're wasting all of that.  Wasting energy - this is like when you leave the heating on when you don't need it, or leave the lights on when there's nobody in...

Hi everybody! In this post we're going to be talking about climate change (April's cause).  Did you know: Air pollution kills 9 million people every year! We are losing 1.2 trillion tons of ice every year - that's almost the same weight as everything man-made on earth.. If we do something about it, it is possible to reverse some of the effects of global warming Some of the things humans are doing that is causing climate change are: Using plastic, because it takes hundreds and thousands of years to decompose, and if it gets into the ocean then sea life eats it, thinking its food, and then they get sick. Sometimes humans eat the fish, and the humans get ill too.  Mining for oil and burning coal, because it releases carbon dioxide, and this is like a big blanket over the earth, making it hotter, which then melts the ice, which then makes the sea levels rise.  Our 'fast fashion' lifestyles - like when some people buy one outfit for one occasion, and clothes aren't m...

 Hi everyone! I have decided on next month's cause, and it will be... Climate change! I will post about it throughout the month: how it affects us, what we are doing wrong, and what we can do to fix it! I'm so glad April is here and I hope you have done some pranks! Share your best prank in the comments! Thanks for reading, Meadow Joy xxx
