Sustainability

Did you know that 66 million kids go to school with no food? 

Sustainability is a thing we all need to practice. It starts with our community. We need to start being more effective. I personally have put this subject off for long time. I thought that I'll be fine. My children will be fine....but I always stopped there. What about my grand kids, or my great grand kids??? I stopped there because I knew that somehow...they would be affected. Now I can't put it off. I mean thinking if YOU could be there, in a polluted earth...with no sunlight and clear air. We use energy everyday...whether we know it or not. Like right now as I am typing this I am using energy. When I use my phone I use energy. I use energy when I read a book under a lamp late at night. Whether you like it or not, using energy has become a part of our daily living and it will take more than just a little action to start making it more eco-freindly. My family has had solar panels for the past year. We made the decision early last year. Also we drive Prius's which are FULL hybrid cars. But that is not even enough. We have to make a difference...starting with us...going on to broader audiences. There are kids that go hungry every day. And yet we have our pantry's full to the brim..and they will be restocked if we finish something. Some of us don't care about other people. Some of us care, but don't take any action. Think about how your country use so much money for useless things...but we can't even put a penny aside for the homeless children. But of course, first you need to work on yourself...then the other people. So think about that...

100 Word Challenge

This is my 100 word challenge. The prompt was …so, what lies ahead of… Run. A blur of greens and browns passed me as I ran. Run. It was life or death, and we chose life. Run. I stopped, dead in my tracks. The puny sticks under my feet crunched under my weight. Lost in thought, I could hear a faint ‘keep running Esie,’ It got louder and louder, till I followed the instructions. Run. The light peeping in from the foliage above was limited, we had to get out of the forest before the darkness fell. So...what lies ahead of us? That’s a complicated question, the answer for which we know, and you to find out.

                                  Reading In 7DM This past few weeks in 7DM, we have been learning about 'The Outside Experience, Managing Self'. We read 3 stories called: Outward Bound , Dear Mum , and The Big Jump! Outward Bound and Dear Mum   were about two people who were recounting about their experience on an Outward Bound. The Big Jump was about Big Daddy (Charlie) being too scared to do the flying fox over his camp. He was supposed to be a tough bully, but really he was quite chicken! I reckon these books are a good motivation for us to try everything at camp and have FUN! Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to experience an Outward Bound ! (If you click on the outward bound before in blue, you can access REAL outward bound information on a NZ outward bound website)

100 Word Challenge - 13 November

The prompt was …but where would we hide it all?… Heart hammering. Knees shaking. Hands trembling. I push my glasses back to perch on my nose. 'STEVEN, BACK TO THE GRIND NOW!' I hear a familiar booming voice ring through my ears. 'THE SNAKES ARE DEPENDING ON YOU!' Yes. A gang. Now, you wouldn't expect me, a nerdy individual to be in a gang. I don't even want to be in this darn gang. Stupid fathers and being an 'heir' to the 'throne'. 'STEVEN WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!' Oops. Rattlesnake hands me a huge rucksack big enough to accommodate a body. Wait . . . a body? The suspense is killing me. Stupid 'no questions' rule. ‘But dad . . . . where would we hide it all?’
