Orienteering

Today we had another session of Orienteering. I worked by myself. The first post I went to was 

Letter K. I came 2nd to last.

Speech

Today our class were put into groups to say our speeches. there were 4 people

in my group and they were Mere, Ma'am and Afu. My speech was about Pollution, and it was 2 minutes and 15 seconds long. I have also been picked to present my speech to the class. Here is my speech...  

My name is Reon and I am going to be talking about pollution. How much longer can we go before our Streams,rivers and oceans become so polluted, that all sea life ceases to exist?, why is it so hard to put rubbish into the trash can? Why do we show such little respect to our planet earth.

Pollution is caused by us humans, and if we dont act quickly to reduceing pollution,things will get even worse. Did you know that we are dumping 14 billion pounds of plastic into the ocean and it gets eaten by sealife. Sealife think plastic bags are jellyfish or food so they swallow it and it ends up blocking their digestive system. Sadly the die, this trait also effects turtles,seabirds and other sea creatures

The toxics and chemicals of pollution effect 200 million people worldwide according to scientists. In some of the worst polluted places on earth, there have been cases of of birth deffects in babies, children who have lost IQ points and a life expantency to be as low as 32 years! due to the cancers and types of pollution. Pollution is a major threat to our lungs because the gasses and Co2  released into the air are inhaled by us.

You can prevent pollution by using your bike to go someplaces its way healthyer than those nasty car fumes, also try going to your local park or playground to plant a few trees. These things may seem small but they can make a big diffrence to the enviroment.

So, are you going to try to stop this worldwide crisis? or let pollution take over our planet home, you decide.

Orienteering

Here I am at Orienteering. The first course I did was Course 4. It was

hard navigating to different letters because some of them were very far

 away. I had a little bit of help from harry because he was on the same course as me. Sadly I didn't get to finish because it started pouring down with rain. I enjoyed Orienteering.

Super Smog in China

Officials close schools and ground flights as dense smog shrinks visibility in Harbin, a city in China

OCT 21, 2013 | By Kelli Plasket with TIME and AP reporting

Winter is coming to northern China—and with it, another season of heavy smog. Smog is a hazy blend of smoke and fog caused by pollution in industrial areas. On Monday, in the large city of Harbin, small-particle pollution rose to a record 40 times higher than what is considered to be safe by the World Health Organization (WHO). The thick haze caused visibility to fall to less than half a football field, grinding the city to a halt.

When Wu Kai, a 33-year-old Harbin resident, looked out her apartment window on Monday, she couldn’t see anything. At first, she thought it was snowing. Then she realized it was smog. Her husband left for work wearing a mask to cover his mouth and nose and stop him from breathing in the pollution. His regular bus wasn’t running because of the low visibility. “It’s scary, too dangerous,” Kai told the Associated Press. “How could people drive or walk on such a day?”

Many people can’t get around. Authorities in the city closed primary and middle schools and some highways on Monday. Harbin’s Taiping International Airport canceled or delayed at least 40 flights.

Smog Season

Northern China experiences year-round air pollution from factory emissions and the huge number of vehicles on the road. Typically, the air pollution is at its worst in the winter, when more coal is burned to heat homes and buildings. Harbin’s municipal heating systems kicked in on Sunday. On Monday, visibility was down to less than 55 yards, according to state media.

China’s environmental protection agency monitors the level of harmful particles in the air. The agency saw readings as high as 1,000 micrograms per cubic meter at several monitoring stations in Harbin on Monday. WHO says a safe level is 25 micrograms per cubic meter.

Pollution Problems

China’s major cities have some of the world’s worst smog. Record levels of air pollution crippled Beijing, the capital, for weeks last winter. The Chinese government, which had long ignored the problem, is finally taking notice. In September, China’s Cabinet announced a plan that aims to reduce the country’s heavy reliance on coal to below 65 percent of total energy usage by 2017. Last week, Beijing also announced a set of color-coded emergency measures for bad pollution days.

Fixing the pollution program will be costly for the Chinese government. Officials say the country will need to spend nearly $817 billion to fight pollution.  But the cost of ignoring it could be much worse.
