Emanuel Zagata-Jacobson (G1) Have A Very Christmas! Kiat Merayakan Natal Hijau By Maya Clarke (G6)

Did you know that Christmas uses the most resources and energy out of all the holidays? And that is because many presents are being made, bought and wrapped using lots of packaging and plastic. Many people travel on airplanes creating pollution and Christmas lights are kept on all night. More food and candies are eaten and the wrappings end up in the landfill. So, here are some ways you can be greener during Christmas!

i j c k & M a y a VS Bamboo Concrete C l a r k e Bambu lawan Beton (G 6 ) We all know that bamboo is a long stick-like plant and is the largest member of the grass family. Bamboo is found all through Asia and there are more than 5,000 different types. Only some of us know that bamboo is an eco-friendly resource which means that we can recycle and re-use it. The good thing about bamboo is that it is also bio- degradable, so you can throw it out and it will just break down and not pollute the area. But the bad thing about it is that it is only grown in the tropical parts of the world such Amazing as Asia. Most houses and buildings all over the world are normally built and made out of concrete. The bad thing about concrete is that it's not sustainable. You cant just grow concrete out of the Orangutans ground. It costs a lot of money and is hard work to make. I do understand Orangutan yang Menakjubkan why the rest of the world can't really access bamboo but therefore I do By Lottie Van Wijck (G6) think that all parts of Asia should go green and make only houses out of bamboo or other sustainable materials. i say you say is a First of all orangutans are an endangered So what do you want: an eco-friendly, strong bamboo home or debate forum.
