 * __ SUSTAINABILITY __**

Sustainability is the way we look after and use the environment.


 * __ LIVERPOOL __****__ WALK OBSERVATIONS __**

During our walk around Liverpool city, I made some observations of bad things happening in the environment. There was rubbish that appeared in places such as rivers, pathways, and streets. Litter everywhere is a sign of carelessness, which is another one of the problems. If we continue to be careless our environment would be polluted and uncomfortable to live in. Graffiti is also one of the problems as well; doing this makes our city streets look less welcoming. There was also a lot of vandalism on graves as we entered a graveyard in our area. These are some of the things I believe should change.


 * __ MERL DAY __**

On that day we went to St Christopher’s Holsworthy to take part in fun activities involving our project ‘Beyond the Fence’. There were a variety of things to do including meeting new people, learning how to be wise with our resources and finding out how to propagate plants.


 * __ PROPAGATION __**

Propagating something means to reproduce something, like a plant. It is the process of creating a new plant by planting seeds or cutting plant bulbs are examples of propagating plants. You can use propagation mats to propagate plants as well.

Trolleys are a really great concern towards the environment even though some of us might not know it. When people leave trolleys around it doesn’t help anyone, even to the animals. It can become a dumping site where anyone can randomly dump rubbish, everyone should knows how devastating the effect can be after the rubbish ends up in our waterways. Animals die or suffocate just because of us and our rubbish. If you returned trolleys it could be a BIG help to both the purchasers and the people who pay for our trolleys. Store managers can pay a HEAP of money just to restock on trolleys. It also helps shoppers as well, by doing the simple favour of returning trolleys shoppers will not have to find trolleys in the middle of where their car is supposed to belong. Some shops have return policies for their trolleys; you might also get a reward for returning trolleys depending on the shops policies.
