Reading Week 7

Vertical Farming.

Kia Ora Whanau and Welcome back to my blog and today we are talking about Vertical Farming.

Vertical Farming is framing from indoors and instead of using Sunlight they use LED’s. Vertical Farming is way different from Conventional farming because Vertical farming is done indoors and the Conventional Farming is done outdoors. It is also better for the environment because there is no source of greenhouse gases but in Conventional Farming there can sometimes be from all of the Vehicles.

They use LED Lighting and indoor spaces to grow their plants unlike the Conventional Farming because they use vehicles that can run on gas and they drive over the plants when they are watering it. There are no vehicles involved in Vertical Farming so that it can be a healthier environment in the spaces.

Most people are not using Vertical Farming because of the cost. It could be up to $5B to $20B a year. So that is why people are barley using Vertical Farming.

Sustainable Transportation

Kia Ora Whanau and Welcome back to my blog and today we are talking about Sustainable Transport

What are the different types of sustainable transportation and what makes them sustainable?

Anything made by Lime would be good for the environment, If you do not know what Lime is, it is that company that makes those E Scooters or E Bikes. Also maybe an electric car company would be great like Tesla or BMW or maybe even a Mazda Electric would be great. Maybe something as simple as walking would be great as well maybe even biking, I mean they are both great things, saving the environment and giving yourself a workout at the same time.

 

How does sustainable transportation positively impact the environment or lessen the negative impact?

Sustainable Transportation is Positively impacting the environment because it is not being used by gas which could cause the wonderful nature to be horrible and disgusting but if we all switch to the E V Vehicles we would still have a wonderful and fantastic environment. Less Carbon Monoxide and Gas cars would make a huge impact on our world.

What could be some barriers to using more Eco-friendly forms of transport? What kind of practical changes could you or your family make to be more sustainable in this way?

The downside of Electric Vehicles is that not many people are buying them because they are expensive and they also don’t have much range in it e.g If you were to try to from Picton to Dunedin in a Electric Vehicle with 300km of range you would have to stop somewhere and charge up. There are also problems with scooters, like when you never realise that you are about to scooter in a really slippery part of concrete you end up slipping.

 

 

 

Statistics

Kia Ora and Welcome to an investigation to find out how many kids like each sport!

 

I wonder how we could figure it out… Aha collecting Data! Collecting data is where you go around and start asking people some questions, e.g Whats your favourite colour or Who do you think is going to win the finals. But you don’t just have to ask questions, people could just write you a sheet of what they like.

 

Today we were given some paper and we were given the favourite sport of 8 year old kids. 8 Kids liked Netball,  2 Likes Rugby and 2 likes Basketball too, 3 Likes soccer and 1 person likes Softball. So with the help of Statistics we used this information and put it in a graph. Here is my Graph.

I am looking forward to when we actually get to ask people some questions from the class. It will be really cool and then I get to do real people.

Ciao!
