Wriggly Worm farm

In our garden we have a worm farm. In the worm farm are worms da!!!! You can put your food scraps in the worm farm which the worms eat. Then the worms castings ( poo and wee) are turned into a fertiliser for the garden. Worm farms are great for food scrapes

You can put most vegetables and fruit. But you can't put on any Curtis things or any protein and no plastic. You can also put in news paper.

Worm farm don't take up much space And you can easily put it on a balcony.

Here is a picture of my worm farm

And here is a picture of the castings.

Herb or veggie gardens all the way

Hello every one sorry i haven't posted for a few days. A few days ago when i was cooking a delicous dinner with all the ingredients from the local market. I was making it from Jamie's 30 minute meal cook book when i needed lots of herbs. Thank goodness for our herb and vegetable garden. Then i realized that having your own herb or vegetable garden it is saving quite a lot of pollution, because if you grow the food from seeds you are not buying it from the shops so the food doesn't need to be wrapped in factories that produce the most pollution. 

Then well if you don't have enough space for a herb or vegetable garden you can grow a few herbs in a pot which is quite easy and if everyone did this there would be less pollution.

That is all Star

Here is a picture of a flower that is going to turn into a passion fruit in our own garden and here is our garden.

Recycle

Hi everyone I know that I have already posted something today but this has something to do with the thing I posted today. I was looking at the packaging for the geleez and the little plastic bags had the recycling sign on it which is great because now I can recycle it.

But the big lots of plastic don't have the recycle sign on it. This is bad because the big bits of plastic when make more pollution that the small the plastic bags. It would be better if the big plastic could be recycled.

To much packaging OMG!!!!

hello everyone i am sorry i haven't been writing to  you for a few days i have just been so busy. I am going to tell about something really great. Well over the weekend i wrote to the company mousee who produces geleez. I really love geleez and i wrote them an email telling themm how much packaging the used and so on. I asked them to advise me of the plans they were making. Today i received an email from geleez saying;

plastic containers can actually be recycled

Hi everyone i know i already posted something today but i really have to share this. I was having sushi for lunch today and it was really yummy. I am quite sure most people have sushi take away and eat it at home and that is what we did. Well as i was saying i was eating sushi for lunch at home when we finished and we started cleaning up. There was so much packaging for such small things. There was a plastic bag it all came in, then there were all these plastic containers. 

 TO MUCH PLASTIC!

Then i was about to put in the garbage bin thinking how much plastic we were wasting, when my mum said check the bottom of the containers to see if they have the recycle sign on them. They did! i was so happy because now we could recycle that plastic instead of chucking it away and it would be recycled maybe into another sushi container. The message from all of this is that when you are about to chuck a plastic container out, just check the bottom to see if it has the recycle sign If it does put it in to the recycling bin instead of the garbage bin.

That is all star

Bondi markets

Good morning it is day light savings today. Yesterday i went to the local Bondi markets. We go there every Saturday to buy our fruit and veg for the week. we got all the things we needed for the week. Shopping at your local market is a great way to lower pollution because the food at Woolworths and Coles has all been delivered and most of the time wrapped in plastic. This is also wrapped in factories which cause most of the pollution. Then we went home and i cooked Jamie Oliver's Jerk Chicken it was so delicious. I cooked this with all the fresh produce from the markets. I love cooking especially with local produce because it so fresh and taste delicious.

introduction of blog

My name is Star and I am 11 years old. I am determined to do something about how much pollution we produce as humans. We produce thousands of tons of pollution each year. This year has been the highest recorded pollution since about 100 years ago. Australia is one of the many countries who produce too much pollution. In less than 100 years our world could end if we keep producing as much pollution as we are today. That is why i have decided to this blog. If everyone did a few little things to help the environment there would be a lot less pollution. And our earth will be around much longer. The aim of this whole blog is to reduce pollution and make people aware of ways of living sustainably. I will be posting some things we can do to help us reduce the pollution. If we all do some of these things it will make a huge difference as we can Save The Earth.
