  2. We need to do more recycling to save the earth because the more rubbish we have the more and more we are destroying our home.

    Even walking to school is better than driving because the gases from the car are bad for the earth.

  15. Sustainability is good for the Earth and us humans are the only ones who can help bring it back or else global warming will get out of hand.

  16. If humans do not start to live sustainably global warming will take over the planet and we'll end up somewhat like Venus. All natural things would be killed :( :( :( , and we would probably be wiped out too, as are all the bad guys in movies. They are defeated by their own mistakes. We cannot let this happen to us, and, even worse, the environment, as it wouldn't be its fault.

  17. I think that if you live close to your school you should try walking instead of driving. I know driving is way easier and faster but it also is bad for plants. Without plants we cant breath! Because cars run on petrol/gas and it could affect how the plants grow.

  18. Sustainability means to recycle reduce and reuse. The earth is getting warmer because of global warming. When we use cars and when factories run they let off fumes (they are called green house gasses)that destroy the ozone layer. If the ozone layer gets ruined even more the water levels will rise and cover islands and the polar ice caps will melt away.

  19. Sustainability is taking care of nature and all of its life E.G
    If you go to school and it is cliose try walking instead of driving because cars have a lot of bad gases that are very bad for the atmosphere. The ozone layer has holes in it because of the green house effect.

  20. Relating to sustainability I don't know too much, but can tell you what the greenhouse effect is. The greenhouse effect is the fact that we have three gases in our atmosphere: methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. these three gases keep our planet cool by reflecting the sun's UV (ultraviolet) rays away from the planet. These rays are the ones that give us sunburn. They also warm up the world by reflecting the other rays. Thank you for reading this!

  21. Being sustainable means doing things to help the environment like recycling things that can be recycled instead of throwing it in the normal bin. We have global warming because people can not be bothered caring about our environment. For people who don't know what global warming is this I the meaning. Global warming is were our earth is heating up because green house gases are getting trapped and are heating the earth up. Since our earth is getting heated up it is melting the ice so our polar bears will not have a home.

  34. Using a bus or train is good for the environment because instead of using cars that only hold a couple of people, you can use other transport that holds more people. Cars buses and trains all use gas. One train is like one car but trains hold more and if everyone used trains and buses it would be a little less pollution. Tarlia 5B

  35. Sustainability is about recycling. I think we need to start recycling more so we can save Earth and all of the animals from the Earth getting hotter because of global warming.

  37. I have really enjoyed sutainability because i learned to keep trees because they give us oxegen. If you can walk to school because cars use alot of gas which isnt good for our enviroment. I also lerarned that buses are better because they use the same amount of gasbut they carry more people.We also need to recycle more or we will wreck our home.

  38. We need to stop cutting trees down, recycle more and use less water. We are wrecking our home. We need to be more sustainable. If we are not sustainable then Earth is going to be wrecked.

  39. We need to start recycling, and stop wasting water and power, we should also try to walk to school instead of going by car, which is using gas.

  42. I learnt that by using sustainable resources we can keep the world safer and not have to do anything bad to the planet which can cause severe consequences in the future. :D

  43. Using sustainable and reusable object is good for the environment because it wont waste so much product. Hear are some ways to be more sustainable; When you go to the shops with your parents ask them to bring their own reusable bags so you don't have to waste plastic and use the plastic bags they have at the super market and also if you if you don't want to have a home cooked meal find somewhere close that you can walk to or take the train or bus because then you don't put as much pollution in the air and you don't get those nasty and wasteful takeaway boxes. Please use my ideas and help save the planet
