Our Responses to the Qestions to Ponder Homework!

We need to modify the way we use water because if we don't we are basically asking for global warming

Connor

Water is essential because it gives all life and allows us to survive. It also helps us have more energy.

Jessica

We can modify our lifestyles to conserve and protect water by Not using up so much water for your water bottles if you know you won't drink it.

Jessica

Water is essential to life because we need it to drink or our bodies would dehydrate.Also the land will dry up making it hard for us to grow food.We could become sick because it will be hard for us to keep clean.

Hi
1.What goes down the drain and where does it go?
Water goes down the drain to the sewage plant where it is treated and released into the sea.
2.Why and how are some areas of the world limited in their water supply?
Because some countries are on the equator and the sun shines on a different angle, it doesn't rain much and their climate is different.

How is water essential to life and for life's survival to life?

Water is used to grow plants that we need to make food.

What will the impact be if we keep using up all the water supply keeps going down?
If we use up the all the water we can not grow trees and plant to grow food.

1. The water and other business goes down the drain into the sewage plant and out to sea
2.The limited water is because they 1. have a higher climate 2. they get more droughts and 3 it doesn't rain often so the lakes and the rivers don't get filled properly

jords

To Mrs C.B
Some countries in the world dont have much water because they are too hot and don't get much rain water or they are nowhere near a river or a lake.

A Recycling Poem!

When I look out my window I think what a pity,
Do we live in a dump or live in a city?

So start looking after the planet, it's the thing to do!
There's only one person who can make a change and it's you.

Put your glass in a recycling bin, don't put it with the rest.
I'm sick of pulling glass out from the tip, it's a pest!

Everybody put your rubbish in the bin.
So we can save the world that we live in!

Why are the animals becoming extinct?
I'll tell you why it's because of our stinks.

I said it before and I'll say it again.
recycle don't leave the world in pain!
