Welcome Annie and Stephanie Wedderburn and Allyson, Meagan, and Denise from Andale. This is your page to share and work in.
You will also have your own individual page where you can post your environmental footprint and other ideas as we go along.

The project we've been working on has put a big impact on me. The impact it put on me was that the things we've done have helped a little in this world. It made not only me, but everyone realize how bad our world is becoming. I've learned so many different things throughout this project. I've learned how bad our world really is and what all the different things that are causing the world such damage. There are so many things we can do to help make the world a better place, and if we want to do it, we should start now. |

The impact on global warming has effected me by thinking if I can help that means I have made one little impact in the world and if everyone made a little impact in the world no one would have to worry any more. What I've learned is that if I help myself then I help the environment and sooner or later the world. |

This project has had a huge impact on me because it made me realize how bad our environment really is. It also made me realize what a BIG impact we have on our environment. Some things that I have realized is that I am effecting this environment and causing global warming as much as anyone in this world. I have learned that our environment is damaged greatly and we need to stop polluting our air and water before it is to late. Our world is changing greatly because of all the pollution and we need to stop polluting it before we all die! |
| November 5th Reflections - What are some of the facts on your environmental issue that are surprising you? What can we do to let the world know how to solve this problem? |

Hi again, facts I found surpriseing was how people dont reconize the level of CO2 and the damage it is causeing and, i also am surprised adout the damage it is causeing. |

| Allyson |
Some facts that are surprising me, are the things that were doing that can be such a big cause in this world. It surprises me on how much the rise of CO2 levels has risen over the years. I think what surprised me most was that the things everyday that people do cause air pollution to get worse. We can let the world know about this problem by putting it on the news or in the newspaper. Also maybe making flyers and giving them to people in your town. These are some suggestions on how to solve the problem |
| Meagan |
Some facts that are surprising me are the co2 levels and air pollution because co2 is the cause of air pollution so I don't think we need to necassarily get rid of air pollution but mostly co2 levels because that is the cause of air pollution. We can let the news know, also we can post comments to other people to let them know to tell thier friends about the wikki. |

Some facts that are surprising me are the CO2 levels and air pollution. CO2 Levels rising could be the cause of air pollution. We really need to find a way to solve this problems because they are also the cause of many other problems in this world. Ways that we could let other people know about our problems we could tell the people on the news, we could have people tell thier friends about the wiki and they could come and check it out. |
Question to group members in both schools

Wedderburn Response
|
Andale Response
|
| What environmental issue should your group research? |
Co2 |
Air Pollution
|
| Why do you think your research might help your communities? |
Co2 is a major issue all over the world .It is causing droughts, the ice to melt in cold countries, and a lot more problems. The water is slowly fading away. No water means no crops or food for livestock which means no food for us.
From lack of water the farmers raise the prices of food, because without water they can’t grow their crops. The prices go up and up.
Some farmers in Australia find it hard to live with what they have.
We need to find a way to stop
This!

Air pollution is a major cause here in the USA. Air pollution can be found indoor and outdoor. Air pollution has been a major problem throughout the years. Air pollution may not be a big problem in Australia but it has been effecting the U.S.A. Air pollution can cause serious health issues for humans and animals. Since it is in the atmosphere it is easy for it to spread to different places. Air pollution can cause global warming which is also what this project is about. Cities that have more automobiles and coal are in a more severe situation. This is a major problem here and we would like to find a way to stop it
Hi Allyson, Megan and Denise
You have made some very compelling comments about the issue of air pollution in the U.S.A. You are probably right that Australia has less of an issue with air pollution than you, however it is still an issue here and of course all over the world. I wonder if the 5 of you could come to an agreement about studying the changes in the air from the rise of Co2 which results in pollution in the air?
I will have a chat to Steph and Annie about what they think and we would love to see your rating....Mrs Baird

From Mrs. Smoke - Annie and Stephanie - Thank you for posting your response today. You have made some excellent points on Co2. Question for you: On a scale of 1-5 (1 being low and 5 being high) how interested would you be in researching air pollution?
Okay you people from Andale we will do Air Pollution all this talk is confuseing me lets just start this already.
|
Question for you: On a scale of 1-5 (1 being low and 5 being high) how interested would you be in researching rising CO2 levels?
We rate CO2 levels a (4) because we think that our issues aren't very far apart. We want to hopefully combine these together and concentrate on both issues, because they have a lot to do with each other.

| Week 1 Reflections - What are two things that surprised you this week and one thing you are looking forward to learning from your partners? |
| Annie |
hi guys you are proberly way in front of us but any way i think we can do this air pollution thing. |
| Stephanie |

I was surprised on how many glaciers have melted, and how bad it has gotten. The things we're doing was alot of this. I was also surprised aboutg that. I had no clue that the earth is that bad.

I agree with you guys that Co2 level is a cause for all of us. Air pollution and Co2 have a lot in common and are not very far apart. Co2 causes air pollution and air pollution cause Co2 levels to rise. I hope we can all come to a conclusion about what to do.

What surprised me was when they showed all the scores and tests that showed the US wasn't doing very good for the environment and that rivers were drying up. We should pick up trash and not litter, use energy efficient light bulbs.
(October 16, 2007)
About Co2 levels i think there a big issue with both Australia and United States because Air pollution can cause Co2 levels and Co2 levels can higher Air pollution so these are big issue and i hople we can both agree that these are very important issues.

A couple of things that surprised me about this movie is that because of us the atmosphere is getting thicker because of CO2 levels and that Greenland the iceburgs are melting so polar bears are dying. I think we should plant more trees to save our environment.
(October 16,2007)
Hi Annie Hi Steph! How are you girls doing?? I think we could come to an agreement on combining Co2 Levels and Air pollution because they both kind of cause each other! So please help us come to an agreement!
(November 8,2007)
Cool Beans!! (If you don't get what that means it is code for awesome) So how have you guys been doing? I hope we get to see each other on that thingy that were going to do with skype. When do you guys get out of school for your summer? Then when do resume school?
