I ask my 2 older sisters and they agreed with Countdown's decision, based on reason. They agreed because they see a lot of plastic bags lying around, and in the sea. They thought about fishes, birds, people and New Zealand and suggest it was best to ban plastic bag.(THIS IS MY SIBLINGS OPINION) :)

Activity #3

On your blog, tell us what you think about the government's decision to restrict the number of tourist able to visit this special site. Is it fair? Be sure to tell us why you feel the way you do.

So I suppose that there is always two sides to the story. I find this fair because it did get damaged before. If a place beautiful like this get damaged again, obviously people are trying to protect it, I could also agree, because I wouldn't like this to get damaged again. On the other hand I suppose it is not fair because you can't judge the present people to the past. They might have the intention of doing it, but you might not know. Plus there might be people who wants to visit, but cannot based off the past incident.

The video I found interesting and liked, was Cacophony Project. Why? because I liked how he was trying to protect our birds. In the video I saw a tui, in his tree and I knew how much he cared. In his set up I saw that a cellphone with a microphone in a solar panel, to also picks up the predators sounds and uploads it straight to the cloud. I found this very interesting based on his way of tracking the predators down.

There has been rain recently based off where I live, so I decided to sleep. After waking up  I still hear rain noises, so decided to enter the lounge down stairs. As I look out windows, my life flashed before my eyes. Trees stop whistling, and silenced arrived at my door. Trees and plants were destroyed, and water was infected. My heart dropped as I saw poor aquatic animals, infected by toxic water. I ask my family what happening as they rush me to close all doors or windows, so I did a check very confused. We all met down in the living room as they explain. They explain that we were under attack with acid rain, and they also explained what were the dangers. Swimming and walking in the acid rain was not a danger hazard, but the air was. After hearing that I look outside, and saw no people on streets, but inside. This was something everybody must be aware of.
