My poster!!

Hi everybody :)
Here you have my poster about a person who has done something special or something important about human rights.
I love this person and he has done many things to make a better world. Maybe he couldn't do all the things he want but at least he tried to help people who live in poor countries or people with problems.
I hope you like it.
BYE!!

An ecological event

   WORLD OCEANS DAY

On world oceans day people around the planet work together to protect our oceans.
This project will end in 2014, so you have from 8th June 2013 (that is when it started) to 8th June 2014 to be the voice of our oceans.
You can help them sharing your knowledge. You can say to following ideas for the project to your family or your friends.
This are some points you can do: 

1.WEAR BLUE,TELL TWO.
Wear blue clothing to raise awareness for ocean conservation and tell two facts to someone around you.

2.AQUATIC CLEAN-UP.
As this sentence says, you can clean up your close ocean and of course you mustn't pollute them.

3.MAKE A PROMISE.
Ask people who attend your event to promise to change one thing, only one thing, in their life to protect our oceans and the animals who live inside it.

TILL NOW:

The project is going very well because many people are working in it.
Other years people from all around the planet worked too hard in this project. While some people were collecting rubbish from the beach other people were cleaning the water.
The project was a very good plan!

Rules to reduce the Climate Change

        Some of the rules that I think can help the Climate Change are:

1.- You should try to reduce some contaminated gases from industries.

2.- It’s better if we use the bus instead the car.

3.- You mustn't throw waste to the river or to the streets.

4.-You can recycle more than now because we throw (for      example) bottles or paper into the waste bin.

5.-You must switch off the lights or electronic systems when       you are not using them.

6.-You should control your heating.

7.-It’s better if you play outside (in the street) than if you are    playing with electronic games because outside you are        using the sun and inside you are using electricity.

8.-You should turn off the tap when you are washing your teeth or lathering in the shower.

9.-It’s better to have a shower instead to take a bath.

10.-It’s better if people do less deforestation.

     
                                                         I will try to do them. Will you try it too?

Recycling in Saint Paul (USA)

Saint Paul residents want to recycle more, specifically plastics. Their mayor Chris Coleman has proposed changes to the program that will begin in 2014.

They have got a timeline for the city to improve recycling services over the next three years.

WHY THEY HAVE THIS PLAN?

Because of two reasons:

1.- A specific fundation repor states Saint Paul residents want to recycle and compost more with greater convenience.

2.- The state of Minesota has set aggresive goals to reduce waste as well as increase recycling and compasting of organics by 2030.
