[[image:http://www.thejunkpeople.co.uk/images/rubbish-pile.jpg width="234" height="198"]] RUBBISH POLLUTION!!!
CONSTRUCTION POLLUTION

AND FINALLY....THE WORST CASE SCENARIO....... LOST TROLLEYS!!

=Please listen to my voki Julie.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>media type="custom" key="18068128"= =With the evidence supplied above, the worst case scenario would be that of the lost trolleys I have heard so many issues about this and apparently most of the people in Liverpool arent being aware of whats happening around them in their own environment.=

=I am extremely disappointed to see that even if action is taken this case seems to get worse every minute. I have seen trolleys in highways, blocking roads, in staircases and trainstations and buildings like units and peoples homes and in parks and places where you least expect it to be.=

=Furthermore.....I would strongly reccomend that they put the 2 dollar locks on every single trolley in liverpool to avoid paying hundreds, possibly millions of dollars each and every year. And rewards should be put up to encourage others to call the companie's trolley hunters and get them back and i would also recommend that they immediately fine people who are caught bringing trolleys into their property or home.= = here is supporting evidence this is a picture of trolleys that are thrown in prospect creek, fairfeld=

= The following guest speakers has arrived in St.Christophers Holsworthy to show and talk to us about the environment. =

= PETER CARROL (SCRAP)- = = = = =

= He talked to us about the waste that the human economy releases in land fills. =

he even told us that to make it even better they use rainwater tanks all over the school, which is filtered 3 times for safety.
= MELISSA HARDING (LIVERPOOL COUNCIL)- =

= =

She mentioned some of the environmental plans that liverpool council will be or would be doing for the following years:
-bush regeneration -tree planting -gardening -worm farms -composting and mulching

= GARY BURROWS (C.E.O)- =

= He explained to us about some of the renewable energy sources that they use like, wind and wave power. =

he also told us that sustainability is making sure there is enough for everyone forever.
= WORKSHOPS =

- Relay - by putting rubbish in the right box
== All of the activities were very interesting because it taught us to be environment friendly and we also did it in a fun way, we got taught how to propagate by stripping off the new grown stems and adding plant hormones to help it grow new roots. By doing the process we get to save money and help the environment by planting your own crops to harvest. ==



=!TROLLEYS!=

Q5. What is the cost of trolley repairs? and how much do new trolleys cost?
=!TREE PLANTING!=

Q5. How mush $$$ is spent on repairing damaged parklands?
=Me and Jessica interviewed the manager of Woolworths and asked some questions, we are unable to interview the manager of Coles because it was a busy day.=

=The manager said that Woolworths shopping trolleys cost $150 for new ones and they have their own staff who repairs the trolleys for them, he comes every 3 months to see how the trolleys conditions are.=

=She told us about the website [|www.trolleytrackers.com.au] it is a website that works for all branches around Australia like in NSW, VIC, and MELB. Trolley trackers is a system used by these branches to lessen the number of lost shopping trolleys and every month or so, people who contributed by telling the trackers where trolleys are they will be included in the $1000 dollar draw.=

= WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY- ALL SAINT GIRLS = = = = = = = = Yesterday June 5, year 6 went on an incursion to the girls high school, they showed us a short presentation about world environment day, like what Australia plans for a more environment friendly future by using less fossil fuels and more earth friendly energy sources. = = They talked about the stations of how the world can be a better place. = = they also talked about what we as civilians can do to take part in this environmental step like how we can have a waste free lunch and recycle plastic containers and bottles. = = As we looked around in the stations we saw models of houses with solar power screens and wind powered factories and hydro-powered power plants. = = Towards the end we were given environment friendly shopping bags that can be reused. = = = = = = !!!!!LIVERPOOL WALK!!!! = =When we walked around Liverpool we decided to make a map where all the lost trolley sightings have been.=



=Trolley policy idea's= = = =All supermarkets must immediately fine people who are using trolleys for non-shopping purposes.= =People must be required to message or call the trolley trackers if they have seen a lost trolley immediately in order to participate in the $1000 cash draw.= =Everyone must be aware of the trolley trackers $1000 cash draw in order for people to participate to get money.=



= Today June 25 Our class went on an excursion to a nearby park beside the train station. The liverpool council member, Melissa Harding was there to demonstrate on how to use the tools so that the plant would survive 100% she showed us how to make a hole by using a hole digger to make the hole deep enough for the plant to grow. We mainly planted shrubs because the area had enough tree's we also planted the acacia and an endangered tree. The tools we used were hole digger and fertilizer. Once we finished planting Melissa congratulated us for our hard work because we planted 200 trees ^.^. = = = = = = BELOW ARE PICTURES REGARDING THE TOPIC. = = = = = ==
