It makes me think that I should be doing more to protect our planet. It also surprised me that Australians are very unaware of how much electricity and gas they do use and how much impact it has on the environment.]]> 2021-07-21 00:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1656434924 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1656807524 I am surprised that Australians actually have the highest carbon footprint in the world, but, they don't realise it and they think that they are using energy sustainably.
It also surprised how many young, adamant people attend protests to try and change their imminent future.]]> 2021-07-21 05:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1656807524 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1656810495 Matteo's electricity bill was significantly lower and that made me realise that we are wasting way too much energy on things that we probably don't need or on things that consume too much energy.]]> 2021-07-21 05:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1656810495 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1656811817 How can we reduce the amount of energy being used while still maintaining our current lifestyle? Are the better alternatives to basic appliances? What is consuming so much energy and what can we do about it?

Kiwis, Custard apple and Mandarins.

Lettuce, Cabbage, Peas and Spring onion

If a food is in season, it means that it is grown in Australia which reduces the amount of emissions being produced when transporting the goods from suppliers outside of australia

I wasn't aware that eating foods that aren't in season have to be transported from great distances, which affects the planet a lot more than people realise. Eating seasonal produce is also a lot fresher and tastier so there is no downside to mainly cooking with the foods that are in season]]> 2021-08-13 02:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1677636154 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1683015083 2021-08-18 00:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1683015083 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1683015735 2021-08-18 00:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1683015735 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1686842336  ]]> 2021-08-19 23:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1686842336 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1686843143 2021-08-19 23:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1686843143 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1686862035 2021-08-19 23:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1686862035 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1687416593 2021-08-20 05:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1687416593 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1687419895 2021-08-20 05:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1687419895 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1687428185 2021-08-20 05:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1687428185 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703201904  ]]> 2021-08-30 01:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703201904 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703203121 What is the most important thing you learnt during this unit?

I learnt how to change my lifestyle to live a more sustainable life. Lots of the things in this unit I didn't even realise had such a big impact on the planet like, for example buying tomatoes that come from Italy, which produces carbon emissions because of the plane burning fuel]]> 2021-08-30 01:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703203121 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703219383 Without bees, a whole ecosystem could collapse. Bees pollenate lots of different plants, this allows them to produce food and lets flowers bloom. Without bees, plants will not be able to produce as much food and sustain the needs of the entire world. I did not know that bees had such a huge impact on the environment and made me appreciate them a lot more]]> 2021-08-30 01:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703219383 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703238582 I will choose to purchase locally sourced produce to reduce the amount of carbon emissions caused by high food mileage. I will also choose to try and eat less products from cows because they are a high contributor to the green house gas crisis]]> 2021-08-30 01:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703238582 jamorx https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703242437 I would them how to change their lifestyle so they cause less carbon emissions. The topics I focus on are: electricity, food and water usage.

electricity is a big contributor to carbon emissions because to get the energy to support your home, fossil fuels are burnt to create lots of energy, but in doing so, lots of carbon emissions are released into the air which heats up the earth, this is called global warming and it is a global crisis.

food is something that most people wouldn't consider to be a contributor to global warming, but, planes being used to fly back and forth from various countries to Australia, merely to deliver food supplies is a huge problem, because planes burn a lot of fuel to fly those long distances.

Water usage is not as big of a contributor as the other two, but it is very simple to change and makes a big difference. 9 litres of water are used every minute when you take a shower, lowering the time you shower makes a big impact on the environment and your water bill. doing simple things like turning off the tap when you brush your teeth is effortless but makes a difference.]]> 2021-08-30 01:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jamorx/p3swkolef8ff353u/wish/1703242437
