Discover the world where you live

Throughout the week we have been reading and writing about conservation and sustainability topics. We are also learning to summarise at the moment, so here are a collection of summaries made into recommendations for the humans that we share this planet with.

Recommendation	Reason for this recommendation	Name
Never ever put anything but water down a storm water drain.	I read that it can get clogged and it leads to the sea and it will kill the fish if they come in contact with it.	Danina

Trained and competent captains and navigation officers for all cargo ships. Fully equipped ships with working navigation systems.	I have read that the captains of the Rena Ship caused the horrific spill of the oil because they didn't have any maps and when the system was going down they thought it would be fine “NO” it wasn't so make sure you be prepared before you leave anywhere.	Adriana and Julius
Don’t waste a lot of food	I read that if you have a lot of food don’t go and buy some more - eat what you have and save the energy it takes to grow it (and petrol it takes to drive to the supermarket)!	Emily
The Future	I read that people share earth with millions of species and the way we live could affect their living.	Mitchy
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle	I have read that people should reuse the amount of things that are made from trees because the more you waste the less oxygen.	Eneio
Pick up rubbish and put it in the bin	I read a story where Jack and Kate chucked rubbish into the drain and it got clogged and it overflowed and they had to get a digger and pull out the rubbish.	David
Do not  pick flowers	I read that to not pick flowers so bees can feed and make honey and beeswax.	Nidhi
Leave cats inside	Cats kill more native animals than rats and mice so leave your cats inside so that they can leave our native birds alone!	Adriana
