Why should we value water? There are many people who don’t value water. This has to improve and help/warn them about the problem we are having and why we should solve it. First, water is an important resource for life that can’t last forever. If we don’t start taking care of it, water will disappear and it will be impossible to survive. Also, we need water to make mechanisms work. Most of the machines that help us everyday need water to work, even the common things we have in our houses, such as dishwashers, washing machines and toilets are some of those machines that work with water. If we don’t value water and do nothing about it, there could be a day where water disappears or it gets VERY dirty and we will not be able to use it.

Possible solutions That doesn't mean that we don't have solutions, there could be many ways to save water from pollution. Some of the ways to solve the problems could be: First of all, we need to value water. It is not necessary to say water is alive but we need to consider water as the most important resource for our lives. Try to reduce the usage of water when we clean. We will avoid wasting water this way.&nbsp; Try to do plogging if you are jogging on the beach or nearby lakes and rivers. Or just pick up the trash you see near a body of water to prevent more pollution. Turn off the water when you don’t need it. If you need to do something before taking a bath, turn off the water. This will help to save the water. Don’t throw away garbage on the street or in the water. If you throw plastics, cardboards, paper, etc on the street it could end up in the sea, river or a lake near it. We could inform/educate people about how serious this is and why. Most people don't even know what is happening. Most of the people that don’t know are homeless and poor people because they don’t have access to education, so they don’t know how to recycle and where to throw garbage out. We could donate money and food kindly and tell them about the problem that is happening on the planet. The industries (farming, factories, etc) are the biggest cause of water contamination / pollution. They should do something to reduce the chemicals that they use when they produce products.

REFLEXIÓN FINAL: Luego de haber realizado esta indagación pienso que las manta rayas son animales&nbsp;sociables, porque viven en grupos, que se comunican y les gusta hacerse notar cuando están contentos. Lo hacen saltando sobre el agua. Son animales marinos que cuando no están a gusto con su hábitat pueden migrar hacia otro lugar y de nuevo lo hacen en familia. Como dije anteriormente se reproducen pero no logran hacer familias numerosas y entre el nacimiento de una cría y la próxima pasan más de dos años. Su expectativa de vida es de 50 años aproximadamente.

Al igual que muchos otros animales, las manta rayas podría estar prontamente en la lista de&nbsp; especies en peligro de extinción. Esto se debe al poco cuidado que nosotros, los seres humanos estamos haciendo sobre el planeta tierra. Nuestros malos hábitos, la contaminación y la polución que realizamos con la basura en los océanos y mares están provocando que muchas manta rayas mueran. Otros factores que están entorpeciendo la cría de las manta rayas son la pesca deportiva y la sobrepesca. Muchas veces las manta rayas quedan atrapadas y lastimadas con las redes, barcos y lanchas, al igual que la pesca por deporte que en algunas oportunidades devuelven el animal al agua y en otras no. Esto también genera estrés en los animales. El calentamiento global&nbsp; hace que las manta rayas&nbsp; tengan la necesidad de buscar nuevos lugares para vivir, a veces muriendo antes de llegar a su nuevo espacio o incluso el plancton del cual se alimentan muere por el cambio de temperatura del agua.

Name I had the interview with: Antonella Parodi Information about her: She works in the Department of the Environment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. -“Why is it so difficult to solve the problem of climate change?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -“The problem of climate change is difficult to solve because it affects many industries and economic activities that are very important for the development of countries. In addition, many people work in industries that contribute to climate change, so it is necessary to ensure that these people find other occupations that are friendlier to the planet. At the same time, it is very important that all countries make the same effort to combat climate change, to the best of their ability, which is difficult to agree on because there are so many countries and interests at stake. All countries must look for a solution, but mainly the countries that have many greenhouse gas emitting industries that cause the increase in the global temperature of the planet.” responded Hailey.&nbsp; -"What can each person do to help solve climate change or reduce the use of plastic?” asked Axel.it’s -"Unfortunately, the invasion of plastics on the planet is a reality. Plastic has become a constant in our lives as we find it everywhere: in product packaging, in the ingredients of cosmetic products, in textile materials, in cell phones, and in many other products. If we want to preserve the planet, it is very important that we all adopt a change in our habits. For example, we could avoid the use of single-use plastics such as drinking straws; if we go shopping, we could always carry a cloth bag; we could buy more food in bulk and less packaged products sold in supermarkets (polystyrene trays, PET bottles, plastic containers) to reduce the use of plastics; replace plastic tupperware with glass or steel containers because not only would it help to take care of the planet's health, but also some plastic objects could release harmful substances. To help solve climate change, each person can also incorporate new habits. For example, walking or riding a bicycle or using public transportation to reduce carbon emissions; saving energy (turning off and unplugging your appliances when not in use); avoiding the consumption of red meat since livestock production increases greenhouse gas emissions; using renewable energies, among other initiatives.” responded Hailey.&nbsp;

-"Who is most affected by climate change?” asked Axel. -"Developing countries and poor countries are the most affected by the impact of global warming and are vulnerable to extreme weather events.” responded Hailey. -"Which organizations and specialists have the most power to influence this issue?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -"Major corporations and developed countries with industrialized economies are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions. It would be very important that these countries agree to take concrete steps to reverse the problem of climate change.” responded Hailey.&nbsp; -"How much time do we have left to stop climate change?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned that we must make an urgent effort to avoid and reduce the most negative impacts caused by climate change before 2030 and avoid scenarios with devastating consequences for the environment.” responded Hailey.&nbsp; -"Nowadays plastic is used for practically everything, is plastic being used more and more or less?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -"Plastics have generated several benefits for society and the environment, however, plastic pollution has become a persistent and widespread challenge. To date, 6.3 billion metric tons of plastic waste has been generated, of which only 9% has been recycled, 12% incinerated and 79% accumulated in landfills or disposed of in the natural environment. As a result, plastics are found in disturbing quantities in the ocean, air, soil and freshwater resources, even in the most remote and pristine areas of the world. It is estimated that between 4.8 and 12.7 million metric tons of plastic waste enters the oceans each year from land-based sources alone. The problem of plastic pollution in the ocean is clearly a marine problem that requires a land-based solution. It is intrinsically linked to unsustainable production and consumption patterns and the inability of the waste management infrastructure to keep pace with our rate of waste generation. Estimates show that if current consumption patterns and waste management practices continue, by 2050 there will be an estimated 12 billion metric tons of plastic waste in landfills or in the natural environment.” explained&nbsp; Hailey.&nbsp;

-“Well, that’s all the questions we wanted to ask you Hailey! Thank you a lot for this interview!” said Hailey.&nbsp; -"It was a pleasure! Thank you!” Lorek and Axel got out of the house and headed to the streets.&nbsp; -"I learned a lot today. Thank you so much for bringing me here! When I was in the Arctic I didn’t know a thing about what is happening in our world, but now I understand much more than I understood before." asked Lorek. -“I am happy for you! Wait, I have to tell you one more thing. The most important thing about all that we learned today, is making actions. We can go down the streets and collect plastics, and we can recycle them. As Hailey mentioned, I will do my best to only use cloth bags instead of plastic ones, to reduce the use of plastics. For climate change I will only use bicycles to work, and walking to reduce carbon emissions. But we won’t only incorporate these new habits to us, but we will incorporate them into other people’s lives! I have lots of friends, and I will tell them about the actions we want to take. We can also tell people in streets to try their best to incorporate these habits into their daily life. We will spread awareness and by also letting people know what are the consequences on our planet and animals.” said Axel.&nbsp;

From that moment on, Axel and Lorek spreaded what they learned to a lot of people and told them habits that can help on the project. These people got to know more about the serious problems that humans were causing in the world, and a lot of people did actions that reduced plastic use in lots of houses, more people started to use bicycles and walking more. Some years later, Lorek and Axel were traveling around the world spreading awareness. One by one, country by country, person by person, every one of them made a change. Everyone made a change in their lives to help make this world a better place. More animals lived, and habitats were getting a safer environment to live. At the end, both Axel and Lorek knew that it was possible to make a change if everyone collaborated. A small action can make a big difference.&nbsp;

S:¿ Qué es lo que más te gusta de las manta rayas ? L: Me parece un animal muy elegante al nadar. También me gusta ver como los peces se animan a nadar cerca o bajo sus aletas. Su piel en la parte de arriba es como&nbsp; si fuera pegajosas y ninguna manta raya es igual a ninguna otra.&nbsp; Antes en el acuario&nbsp; se les podía dar de comer y la gente disfrutaba mucho de ese momento. S:¿ En Temaiken las manta rayas fueron rescatadas o traídas de otros acuarios? L: Fueron traídas de otros acuarios y muchas nacieron en cautiverio como te conté antes.. S:¿Cómo se diferencia la manta raya macho de la hembra? L: Los macho tienen cerca de la parte de la cola, dos tubitos al igual que el tiburón que se llaman claspers, es el órgano reproductor, las hembras no lo tienen, esto solo se puede ver a simple vista en tiburones y manta rayas porque son peces cartilaginosos.

S: ¿Crees que el cautiverio ayuda a que la especie no se extinga? L: Creo que es una buena manera de ayudar a preservar la especie. Siempre la mejor opción es que cada animal esté con su familia y el lugar que más le gusta vivir cuidado y no sintiendo amenazas, por pesca,o sobrepesca, por el cambio de temperatura y&nbsp; de corrientes, como en el caso de la manta raya por el calentamiento global. Es triste tener que tenerlas en cautiverio pero sabemos que de alguna manera las estamos cuidando. Ojala todos nos ayuden a cuidar un poco más el planeta.

-“Lorek Byrnison. And why you are in the Arctic?” Lorek interrogated.&nbsp; -“I am a student from England and I just came here to study these lands for a mission I am doing. You see, I am actually studying about the environment and how the Arctic is being affected by climate change and plastics.”&nbsp; Lorek raised one eyebrow. He was of course confused, since he didn’t know what he meant about climate change and plastics. “And may I ask what do you mean by climate change?” asked the bear. “Do you see those glaciers melting?” said Axel. Lorek looked around, knowing exactly what he meant by melted ice. He glanced back at Axel and nodded. -“Well that is one of the effects of climate change.” The polar bear was surprised by hearing this, he would finally get to know what was happening around him.&nbsp;

-“How does it work?” Lorek asked quickly to the young man. -“Well, I would have to give you quite an explanation for that.” Axel said. -“Well I have a lot of time.” Lorek argumented. -“Let me show you then,” said Axel. -“But, how?” asked Lorek. -“First I will need to repair the plane.” explained Axel with disappointment. They both spent the whole afternoon repairing the plane and fixing the windows. By the time the sun went down, they finished the job. -“Well, I guess we will have to travel tomorrow morning,” Axel announced. As soon as they both closed their eyes they got into a big and deep sleep. After a day of hard work they would finally get some rest…

What are the actual problems about water? The Earth is 70% water, but of all the water only 20% is fresh water, the rest is salty water.&nbsp; The worst problem is that the fresh water is distributed unevenly. One of the problems is that some countries don't have access to clean water for many reasons (geography, wealth, etc). The biggest example are countries in Africa, even if they have access to fresh water usually they are contaminated. According to an article published in the newspaper “El Cronista” on October 18th 2021, a phenomenon called “La Niña” is affecting Latin America. This causes droughts and only happens in the southern hemisphere. This article says that this will last until March 2022. This is a serious problem because countries such as Argentina, where most of the country is dedicated to farming, need a lot of water. If the water dries out, the country will be in a very bad situation. This gets worse because of global warming.

How do different countries and times value water?&nbsp; Different countries and different times have valued water differently. For example, in Somalia they nearly don’t have clean water, they mostly drink and wash themselves with dirty and muddy water. However, other countries don’t value water that much. Approximately 70% of the water is wasted and only 30% is used productively. This shows how the situation of different countries depends on people considering water as a valuable resource. But not all countries are irresponsible with water, countries such as Brazil, Russia, the United States and Canada have the most freshwater on the planet and value it. If they have clean water it means that people in those countries don’t waste water and don’t contaminate water. We need to value water like them, so that we will have clean water like them in the future, so we shouldn’t lose hope. Even in the past, people have valued water differently. In Chaco, they used to say that water was alive because they valued it so much. And now there are many countries that don't have enough water for every citizen, and other countries take being able to clean with and drink clean water for granted. Now let’s talk about some bad news. Have you thought about what percentage of the ocean is damaged by people? We have damaged more than 86% of the ocean, even though we have discovered only 20% of the ocean. Also, it is not that we just damage the surface, but also it affects the deeper parts. Different types of waste reach the ocean floor and pollute the water and the marine habitat.

Como grupo aprendimos que es importante y necesario que cambiemos nuestros hábitos y para cambiarlos es imprescindible saber qué es lo que esta haciendo cada uno, de ese modo podremos detener el cambio climático y la contaminación, sin estos cambios las consecuencias serán muy graves. 

MANTA RAYA&nbsp; En este artículo que hoy les escribo con mucho entusiasmo es sobre&nbsp; Manta birostris, ese es el nombre científico para la manta gigante&nbsp; y la manta alfredi, o manta de arrecife. Estos son los dos tipos de especie de manta rayas que existen. Nosotros la reconocemos como la manta raya. Les voy a contar en especial sobre quiénes son, dónde habitan, de qué se alimentan, cómo se reproducen y sus características físicas principales. Otro tema importante que expondrè&nbsp; me preocupa mucho son sus cuidados, la pesca deportiva y la sobrepesca, que podrían poner a esta&nbsp; especie en una&nbsp; amenaza&nbsp; posible de extinción. Es necesario que empecemos una campaña para concientizar sobre la importancia de cuidar nuestro planeta y todos los que habitan en él, los animales, las plantas, los recursos de la naturaleza. Si seguimos castigando al mundo seguramente las consecuencias que aparezcan cambiarán nuestra forma de vida y el mundo que conocemos, perdiendo la posibilidad de ver crecer animales, plantas, etc.

Las manta raya viven en aguas saladas, especialmente en los mares tropicales y subtropicales de todo el mundo. Son animales que prefieren vivir en aguas cálidas. Se han encontrado una población de ellas en Filipinas, Portugal, California,&nbsp;el Golfo de México, Perú , Uruguay y en la Argentina. Suelen saltar fuera del agua para desprender los parásitos que se le pegan a su piel y también para comunicarse y jugar con otras manta rayas.

Lo que valora cada comunidad da forma a sus hábitos y comportamientos. •Como se cuida el agua en comunidades actuales y del pasado. •Qué responsabilidad tienen los seres humanos con los recursos naturales y las consecuencias de su comportamiento. •Concientización de nuestra comunidad para la reducción de la contaminación.

Hola! Somos el grupo green life, todos tenemos temas diferentes, maltrato animal, contaminación, el uso de plásticos, valoración del agua, etc. Pero todos estamos unidos por el cuidado del medio ambiente. Nuestro objetivo es poder compartir conciencia y hacer acciones para mejorar nuestros hábitos y comportamientos.

Ann spotted a brown and yellowish puppy and ran to him, it was the most beautiful dog Ann had ever seen. -That will be the dog you are taking care of today-Their guide said.-My name is Elizabeth and I’m going to be with you the whole time, why don’t we put the leash on three dogs and we go for a walk? So I can tell you a little about this place. They put the leash on three different dogs, Lisa, Lenny and the puppy. They were super excited to go outside.&nbsp; -This place was founded by Morelia Montes and: Every day we welcome animals that need our help. After they are rescued, our veterinarians examine them and tell us the results so we can start any necessary treatment. Once an animal is healed, the adoption process begins. We usually post a photo of the animal in one of our websites.&nbsp; -Wow! I didn't know it was that hard-Ann said -Well, it's been an hour and a half, we better go back to the sanctuary to feed all the animals Once they came back all the food bags were out and everyone was ready to feed the dogs. The day passed very fast and in a blink of an eye they needed to return to the hotel.&nbsp;

-Tomorrow we are going to the sanctuary, pick up some stuff and go to the airport so we can go to the Philippines.- He said -I wished we could spend more time here, it’s beautiful. The next day, Friday, they went to pick up some things they left there.&nbsp; -Are you leaving already?- Elizabeth asked -Yes, we are heading up to the Philippines-Ann answered -Awesome! I have something for you…..here. -A leash? -Yep. -Why? Why would you give me a leash? -Because you are going to have a new member on your trip. -Who? -This beautiful puppy you fell in love with -Really!? This is amazing! Thank you so much!!!&nbsp; When Ann got the puppy in her arms she felt so…calm.

CARACTERÍSTICAS PRINCIPALES: Las manta raya son animales acuáticos que son de la época de la prehistoria. Se cree que aparecieron hace más de 5 millones de años. Pueden llegar a vivir 50 años. Su longitud puede variar entre los 5 metros aproximadamente y llegar hasta los 7 metros. En cuanto al peso, las manta rayas, puede pesar 1300kg. Su cuerpo es aplanado, su piel es áspera y los colores que la cubren son generalmente oscuros en la parte superior, grises o azules y blancas con lunares grises en la parte inferior. Una de las características más curiosas de su cuerpo es que sus dos aletas están hechas de cartílagos, lo que les da la posibilidad de ser muy flexibles y nadar a gran velocidad. Las aletas son tan grandes que pueden duplicar el tamaño del cuerpo del animal. Las manta rayas tienen dos pares de aletas. Las principales de las cuales hablamos anteriormente y las que están más cercanas al cràneo que solamente las utiliza para dirigir el alimento a la boca. Solo con el objetivo de poder alimentarse correctamente. Como no tienen dientes, sino una pequeña hilera de placas, se alimentan de plancton que encuentran en las aguas cálidas. Tiene el cerebro más grande. Las branquias se ubican debajo de su cuerpo. Tienen una larga cola sin aguijón.&nbsp;

Las manta rayas están en continuo movimiento&nbsp; teniendo en cuenta la corriente marina para poder obtener oxígeno del agua y así poder respirar.&nbsp;&nbsp; Se mueven en grandes grupos, generalmente lejos de las costas y cerca de los arrecifes. También se las puede observar cerca de la superficie del agua. Cuando las manta rayas no encuentran alimento o la temperatura del agua cambia decide migrar hacia nuevas aguas. Siempre lo hace teniendo en cuenta la corriente marina.

-"I have one person I want you to meet, Lorek". said Axel.&nbsp; They both walked through the street until they found a little cabin. It was full with all types of beautiful flowers. Axel rang the doorbell and a young woman appeared at the door.&nbsp; -“Good morning Hailey! Good to see you! We were wondering if we could ask you some questions about the environment since I know you work on this. My friend Lorek wants to know more about this.” -“Hi Axel! It’s been a long time since I saw you! Yeah of course, you two please enter my house. I wasn’t expecting any visitors so the house is a bit messy.” said Hailey. -"No problem at all,"said Axel. They both entered the house at the same time. When they entered, Lorek was amazed. There were plants and flowers everywhere on the inside too! There were white, sparky feathers on the roof, and the sofa was made out of rose petals.&nbsp; -“Please sit both, I don’t want you two to keep standing any longer, you look exhausted.” told Hailey. Hailey must have been around twenty eight years old, and had brown hair full with flowers and blue eyes. She had a green coat with a beautiful blue skirt.

-“You can start with the question at any moment,” said Hailey. -“Why is it so difficult to solve the problem of climate change?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -“The problem of climate change is difficult to solve because it affects many industries and economic activities that are very important for the development of countries. In addition, many people work in industries that contribute to climate change, so it is necessary to ensure that these people find other occupations that are friendlier to the planet. At the same time, it is very important that all countries make the same effort to combat climate change, to the best of their ability, which is difficult to agree on because there are so many countries and interests at stake. All countries must look for a solution, but mainly the countries that have many greenhouse gas emitting industries that cause the increase in the global temperature of the planet.” responded Hailey.&nbsp; -"What can each person do to help solve climate change or reduce the use of plastic?” asked Axel. -"Unfortunately, the invasion of plastics on the planet is a reality. Plastic has become a constant in our lives as we find it everywhere: in product packaging, in the ingredients of cosmetic products, in textile materials, in cell phones, and in many other products. If we want to preserve the planet, it is very important that we all adopt a change in our habits.

What can we do to stop contaminating?&nbsp; &nbsp;We can use toothbrushes made with bamboo, cloth bags,&nbsp; reusable water bottles and eco bricks.&nbsp; To make eco bricks you need a dry plastic bottle and dry plastic wrappings. You will put the plastic wrappings inside the bottle. You can compact with a stick so it’s harder.

Animals are about to get extinct because of global warming. These are some endangered species and why they are in danger of extinction: Polar bear, glaciers are melting their habitat. Monarch butterfly, their main resource of food is disappearing because of global warming. Also very sensitive to climate change. Atlantic cod suffers from overfishing, when recovering needs cold water, global warming is making lakes,rivers,seas and oceans hotter. Koalas,&nbsp; a lot of bush fires in their habitat are caused by global warming.

Which living beings are affected? PETS: pets suffer an increased risk of tumors when exposed to polluted air for a long time. Pets can also die from the effects of air pollution. AMPHIBIANS: Air pollution can change both physiology and behaviour in amphibians. FISH: Acid rain falling in rivers and seas causes pH levels to rise killing fish that are sensitive to pH fluctuations. Acidic rivers and seas cause respiratory distress for fish. Normally, acidic water is lighter which increases temperature and light in water which makes animals relocate in need of a darker and cooler habitat. BIRDS: Air pollution affects birds by damaging their respiratory system and indirectly harms their food sources. ALL: Air pollution affects all animals when they breathe polluted air. That can affect their respiratory system.

Here are some places that help our environment in Argentina: <a href="https://www.nueva-ciudad.com.ar/notas/201701/30396-la-cooperativa-el-correcamino-recorre-los-barrios-en-busca-de-los-residuos-reutilizables.html">https://www.nueva-ciudad.com.ar/notas/201701/30396-la-cooperativa-el-correcamino-recorre-los-barrios-en-busca-de-los-residuos-reutilizables.html</a> <a href="https://bancodebosques.org/">https://bancodebosques.org/</a>

El cambio climático también está comenzando a afectar a las manta rayas ya que el agua está más templada de lo normal y más ácida que de costumbre dificultando que el plancton sobreviva, sin plancton la cadena de alimentación de las manta raya se rompe y se quedan sin alimento. La medicina china ha comenzado a utilizar las branquias de&nbsp; manta rayas para crear sus remedios haciendo que su pesca sea cada vez más rápida. Para evitar poner en peligro la especie sería importante no utilizar este tipo de productos cuidando así a la especie. Otra amenaza para las manta rayas son los barcos y las lanchas que&nbsp; las lastiman al pasar. El turismo, también es un factor que entorpece la tranquilidad de la especie y hace que las manta rayas migren hacia otro lugar.

Going to the Philippines was tiring, many flight scales. When they finally arrived the sky was completely grey, full of clouds. A man was waiting for them in a car. When they arrived at theto the house they were going to live in, they were so tired. Again they arrived at night, almost 11 o'clock.&nbsp; -Can we rest tomorrow?- Ann said -Yes, anyway, it's going to be a rainy day tomorrow. Ann woke up at midday.&nbsp; The next morning they went to the Philippine Animal Welfare Society and met Daniel. Daniel was an employee that worked there.&nbsp; -Hello! Do you want to go for a walk with some dogs? They went to Buni’s cage and tied her with a leash. -The Philippine Animal Welfare Society is a group of people that normally rescue stray animals. But this place is a very risky place for natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, etc. Many dogs and cats are abandoned because their owners can take them with them. That's when we make our move.&nbsp;

In tsunamis or floods many pups are taken away with water and usually don't survive. But it is good for the ones that do survive because they can start to regenerate themselves in other places. Just like plants. Many birds aren't even born because the water takes the eggs.&nbsp;

-And why are there so many natural catastrophes?&nbsp;

-Well, I don't know but it's very bad because many animals lose their homes, die or are taken away. 

-That's so sad.-Ann said -Yes, but we can take in all the animals that can survive and take care of them until they can be adopted or return to the wild -That’s great! They return to the house at 6 and waited until it was 9 to have dinner -I learn a lot more about, well, everything -Yes, Daniel was really helpful-He said -I’ve been wanting to ask you: what’s your name? -Oh, yeah, right, I didn’t tell you that -Yes, theas right -Well my name’s Jack

Suddenly a man came out from the plane. He had dark jeans and a black shirt with a blue sweater and a very thick coat. He had boots that looked old and broken. He had a hat made out of wool and glasses for his vision. His hands were shivering from the cold air and his lips were almost violet. He had some blood on his forehead because of the crash. It wasn’t very serious though. Lorek and the man gave a horror look to each other. Lorek was looking at the human with his green eyes really open. He gave a drowned gasp as the man was shouting hysterically. They both continued like this for some minutes, and after they stopped shouting. The man was breathing very deeply and quickly, meaning he was very scared. Lorek was practically petrificated after observing the unusual creature for him.&nbsp;

-“Well, that was an aggressive crash. Don’t you think so?” said Lorek out of breath. The human wasn’t blinking and had his mouth wide open like if he had just seen a ghost.&nbsp; -“I-i can’t believe what I am hearing” stuttered the human.&nbsp; The man pinched his cold hand with pressure, making sure he wasn’t only in a dream. Both were still shocked by what they were watching. The man started walking in a pensive way from one side to the other. His head was moving quickly and he was biting his thumb nail nervously.&nbsp;

-“This doesn’t make any sense. This is not possible in any way. I-i must surely be dreaming. There’s no possible option that is scientifically correct in any dimension of this entire universe that a real animal right in front of me is speaking! Unless… unless it’s…”&nbsp; He gave a pause and gulped. He was scared to even pronounce this word out loud. -“Unless it’s.. magic.” There was an awkward silence between them. Neither of them knew what to say. Until Lorek got courage to say something after those few minutes of silence.&nbsp; -“What exactly are you?” asked Lorek with curiosity. The man looked confused, but after he thought that a polar that lived in the Arctic with no contact with humans would never know what real people are.&nbsp; - “I’m a human.” muttered the man. Lorek stared at the human in a suspicious way.&nbsp; -“What do they call you?” asked Lorek. -“Uh… my name is Axel. Axel Clive, and you?” said Axel.

Personal opinion &nbsp;I believe that water is the central resource of life. We need to know that water won’t last forever if we don’t take care of it. There are some countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia that don't have enough CLEAN water for all the population, however other countries waste water. But there’s a positive part, that there are some countries that behave responsibly and educate the people. Someday the mechanisms will evolve into advanced machines, and we will be able to clean the plastics floating on the surface of the rivers and the oceans and in the deepest parts. In the future we will be able to explore more of the oceans, see a wonderful view of the ocean and discover more creatures of the deep sea.&nbsp; I hope that the world understands that kids and adults need water to survive and not everyone has the same access and resources as others. I believe that if I start to care and take this problem seriously, all Earth's population will do the same and care about contamination.

Muchas gracias por ver mi presentación!!!!

Con pequeñas acciones podemos hacer un gran cambio. Por: Elina de Alzaga

Al principio de la indagación quería buscar información sobre todos los temas de contaminación, como el agua, el aire, y la tierra. Pero decidí investigar sobre la contaminación sobre el agua para poder focalizarse más en los ríos y océanos contaminados.

La contaminación es un problema muy grande en todo el planeta. Pero la pregunta es qué podemos hacer nosotros para dejar de contaminar y convertir este mundo en un mundo sano. Un ejemplo de contaminación en el agua es el Riachuelo o el Río Reconquista. El riachuelo es el río más contaminado de Latinoamérica y uno de los diez lugares más contaminados en el mundo. No solo se contamina por la basura, también por los plásticos. Otra responsabilidad nuestra es el uso del plástico. El Riachuelo empezó a estar contaminado en 1810, cuando empezó la revolución de Mayo. Está contaminado hace mucho tiempo. Muchos quieren hacer proyectos de limpieza juntando basura para dejar de contaminarlo, pero hay gente que no le importa ayudar y siguen contaminando. Tampoco los gobiernos se ocupan de este tema, ponen leyes pero nadie las cumple.

Exhibition individual work by Catalina Olivera

We need to stop this Global warming and pollution

––––––––––––––– Pollution and its effects such as Global Warming are destroying planet earth &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;---------

Global warming is the long-term warming of the planet's overall temperature and everyone should be aware of our responsibility in this phenomenon due to our activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere.

Another important issue is the use of plastic. Plastic was invented in 1907 by Leo Baekeland. Since then, plastic has been used to do a lot of things like, plastic bags, straws, toothbrushes, packaging and of course, water bottles. Those things end up in the oceans, lakes and seas but they never disappear. They turn into microplastics that continue contaminating the environment. It never fully disappears.

Where does air pollution come from? Air pollution comes from different&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; places, which are: trains, planes, factories, dust, fire, volcanos and many more. They basically come from certain gases called aerosols. Some aerosols reflect&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;heat while others absorb it. Dark surfaces absorb the Sun's heat and lighter color surfaces reflect it. Does air pollution affect humans? Yes it does, in fact breathing polluted air can be very bad for our health. If you're in a long period of time exposed to polluted air you can get diseases of the heart and lungs, cancers and other health problems.

¡Hola! Soy Elina de Alzaga, tengo 11 años. Estoy en el colegio desde kínder. Desde chiquita me gustó mucho el tema de la contaminación, siempre quise aprender más sobre eso. Y ahora voy a poder hacerlo. En la exhibition&nbsp;estoy buscando nueva información, y mi objetivo es tener un planeta más sano. De muchas maneras podemos demostrar que nos importa cuidar al planeta. Hay gente que no le importa contaminar y no sabe lo que está pasando, entonces yo voy a explicar porque nos afecta tanto la contaminación.

Hola, soy Lucia Fuhr y estoy en 6to B. Siempre me gustó mucho la naturaleza y pienso que todos deberían cuidarla con mucha responsabilidad. Para mi exposición voy a hablar sobre contaminación del ambiente y plásticos. Durante mi proceso de investigación, yo estuve aprendiendo sobre el ambiente y cada vez más estoy aprendiendo a ayudarla. Quiero que otras personas puedan tener este mismo proceso que yo tuve, para que puedan cuidar más a la naturaleza. Mi objetivo es compartir conciencia global y que las personas entiendan la preocupación que tengo sobre el planeta. Espero que disfruten mi trabajo y que aprendan más sobre las cosas que están pasando en el mundo. ¡Gracias!&nbsp;

En junio de este año se anunció nuevamente una promesa para limpiar el Riachuelo. La construcción del Sistema Riachuelo, el traslado del Mercado de Hacienda al partido de Cañuelas y la creación del parque de curtiembres en Lanús son las tres grandes obras que se cree estarán finalizadas en 2023 y ayudarán a liberar efluentes cloacales que hoy representan el 80% de la contaminación del agua.

Nuestras responsabilidades son un montón para ayudar a cuidar este planeta.&nbsp; Hay muchas personas que no lo hacen y que no les importa pero también hay muchas personas que&nbsp; sí. Una acción que podemos hacer es promover para que los demás también colaboren. Hay muchas soluciones pero tenemos que tomar conciencia y actuar de manera responsable en el uso del agua. Existen muchas maneras para demostrar que te importa ayudar.

Here are two things that affect our environment that you probably didn’t know: cigarettes ( many people throw in the floor the cigarettes and also the smoke that comes out makes a lot of damage to us and to the planet ),&nbsp; plastic bags ( we all know they contaminate but we don’t take it very seriously and keep using them ) Lot of people die from smoking so if you don’t smoke you will be taking care of yourself and of the planet. Also many animals die from plastic bags because they get their heads trapped in them. If you stop using them the deaths of animals will reduce.

How does global warming connect to who we are?&nbsp; Global warming connects to who we are because how much we care about it shows how responsible we are with our environment.&nbsp;

How does pollution connect to who we are? &nbsp;Pollution connects to who we are because it can affect our health and the ones of our friends, family and&nbsp; other communities. It can affect billions. And Most importantly, we, humans, are causing it.

Conclusion:&nbsp; Global warming and pollution are things we created, that’s why WE need to stop them. It all started with a little plastic bottle but now, there are billions of them contaminating our environment including all types of plastic. We have to start taking care of our planet. If we are the most intelligent living beings on earth, it is our responsibility to take care of it. If everyone does little changes, a big change will come for good. Let’s make a change.

Pero, ¿por qué es importante cuidar el agua? El agua contaminada puede llevar a la eliminación de especies completas por la falta de oxígeno, convirtiéndose en un medio totalmente hostil para la vida de plantas y animales acuáticos. El agua es esencial para el ser humano, sin agua no podemos sobrevivir. El agua es fuente de vida y desarrollo para los seres vivos.

¿Cuáles son los componentes que causan la contaminación en el agua?&nbsp; Los principales componentes que contaminan el agua son los desechos animales, antibióticos, hormonas, productos químicos utilizados para teñir las pieles, fertilizantes y pesticidas usados para fumigar los cultivos de forraje, entre otros. La contaminación en el agua también es provocada en el océano ya que muchas personas y sobre todo empresas tiran plásticos y basura. Esto lleva a la muerte de muchísimos animales. Los animales mueren porque sin darse cuenta, tragan plástico y se mueren.

La contaminación causada por el plástico es un problema a escala mundial que ahoga los océanos del mundo. El aumento en la producción de plásticos (620% desde 1975), el tamaño de la población costera y la falta de manejo de la basura urbana, industrial y marítima están relacionados con la cantidad de plástico que termina en el mar. Existen 5 islas de basura en nuestro planeta: en el Pacífico norte y sur, Atlántico norte y sur y en el Océano Índico. 

La formación de estas islas de basura ocurrió porque cada año, millones de residuos de plástico llegan al océano en forma de pedazos y entran en las grandes corrientes marinas. La isla de plástico del Pacífico mide lo mismo que Francia, España y Alemania. El agua se contamina porque los plásticos tienen una tasa muy baja de degradación. Pasan años flotando en el mar, lo que perjudica a la flora y la fauna marinas y también al ser humano a través de la cadena alimenticia.

¡Hola! Soy Santino Russoniello. Tengo 11 años y soy alumno de Northlands, estoy en Y6B. Me encantan los animales, es por eso que elegí hacer mi presentación individual acerca de las manta rayas. Es un animal que me encantó desde el momento que la ví. Eso pasó cuando tenía solo cuatro años. Estaba con mi familia y mis primos en un viaje y fuimos de visita a un acuario. En ese lugar cuidaban animales que rescataban, los curaban y los ayudaban a volver al mar nuevamente. Pude acariciar una manta raya que iba a ser liberada y eso me gusto mucho. Creo que es importantísimo que empecemos a cuidar nuestro planeta. Con tanta polución y maltrató lo estamos lastimando. Ojalá les guste la presentación y se animen a cuidar cada día más nuestro mundo.&nbsp; ¡Gracias!

Hola, soy Estanislao Screnci, me dicen Estani, tengo 11 años y voy al colegio Northlands. Estoy desde muy chico en el colegio, lo siento como mi segunda casa, tengo muchos amigos y la paso muy bien. Siempre me gustaron los animales y los deportes, por eso especialmente quería concentrarme en el tema de los animales exóticos, el maltrató en ellos, las diferentes opiniones de la gente sobre ellos. Ojalá les guste mi trabajo que realmente nos esforzamos por hacer un buen trabajo y que lo disfruten. ¡Gracias!&nbsp;

Many people who support that wild animals can be kept as pets think they are like other pets but they need special care that is very difficult to give because some of them need special diets or housing or maintenance. People think they can domesticate them but this is not possible because they are not “domestic animals”.&nbsp;Apart from that, some exotic animals may also be dangerous for humans, for example the ones which have claws, sharp teeth, strong muscles, etc. Another example is a tiger which is a wild animal and cannot be tamed. Exotic animals are wild animals with wild instincts that are never predictable. You never know what could happen with wild animals.

When the sun rose the next morning, they headed to the plane. Axel was nervous for the adventure, but at the same time excited. Same with Lorek. Axel hopped in the plane and looked down at Lorek, who wasn’t entering the plane yet.&nbsp; -“Hey, are you ready for this adventure?” asked Axel to Lorek. Lorek looked up with hope in his eyes. -“I’m ready” told Lorek.&nbsp; Lorek reached out for Axel's hand and hopped in the plane next to him. The motor of the plane was working efficiently, which was a really good sign. And as Lorek noticed, the plane was already up in the blue sky flying among the clouds… -“Where will you take me then?”said Lorek while admiring the beautiful blue sky around him. -“I thought we could maybe go somewhere in Latin America. How about Argentina?” asked Axel. -“I have no idea what Argentina is, so I will be happy enough to go anywhere.” said Lorek.

-“So, how did the plane crash?” asked Lorek.&nbsp; -“Oh um… it just got out of control. It was my first time actually driving a plane so I wasn’t really used to driving. I should have trained more before coming to the Arctic.” explained Axel.&nbsp; -“And what does (ICAO) mean?” asked Lorek. -It is a famous plane organization from the United Nations. It is called the International Civil Aviation Organization. A friend lent me the plane. He will be a bit disappointed when he hears that I crashed it in the Arctic.” explained Axel.&nbsp; -“And what will you show me in Argentina?” asked Lorek.&nbsp; -“Oh, believe me, I will give you all the answers you always wanted to know and much, much more…” After one day of traveling by plane, Lorek and Alex finally arrived in Argentina. -“I want to show you something. Buenos Aires here we come!” said Axel. After some time they successfully landed in Buenos Aires.

-It was awesome mom! You can't imagine how much I&nbsp; learned! I will be right back, I need to thank Jack for all this. Jack was looking at the sea with a hot chocolate in his hands. -Thank you for all you’ve done for me and I will always remember you. Did you have fun? -Yes, although you talked too much, I did.&nbsp; -Haha!&nbsp; -Haha!&nbsp; -Are you going to continue this trip? -Kind of. I want to see new places and learn more things about nature and not just about animals.&nbsp; -Cool -Shouldn’t you get home? It's getting late -Oh right! Well…bye -Bye

As with many laws it's up to people's choice to follow it or not, although there can be consequences. This law is the number 14.346. If you see someone that is hurting animals you can report it by going to the nearest police department or calling 911. If you see it happening in a private location, identify the street, number of the place and call the police. Here in Argentina the consequences are going to jail for 15 days or a year. It's time we go out and help the world with whatever we need to confront. Maybe next time I’ll talk to you about other things.&nbsp;

Did you like the story? Well I sure did! I read it like five times but I wasn't able to finish it. I liked how Ann was always up to doing anything. Many people are against animal abuse but they don't actually know what it means, this story reflects some parts of the problem. Argentina, just like many other countries, has a law that forbids animal abuse.

“We are finally here. Let’s land the plane somewhere and I will show you everything.” said Axel. Lorek was amazed by Buenos Aires. He had never seen houses or buildings. And seeing so many people made him totally astonished. And a bit dizzy too. -“ See those trucks realizing gases over there?”Axel asked. -"Those strange vehicles? Yeah I see them.” responded Lorek. -“Well that is one of the causes caused by humans that are melting glaciers and making the climate warmer.” explained Axel. ‘ -"Explain to me how climate change works”said Lorek. -“Human activities (like for example the release of gases, burning fossil fuels or deforestation) are responsible for what is happening to climate change. Burning these materials release gases which are called greenhouse gases to the Earth’s atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trap the sun's heat. At day, the sun shines through the atmosphere, making the earth warmer. And at night, the earth cools, realizing most of the sun's heat. But because of these gases that are in the atmosphere that are trapping more heat that it should be on the earth, it’s making the climate warmer than it should be. And as a consequence of this, more ice is melting because everything is getting hotter.

And in the future, there will start to be floods because all ice will be melted away, increasing water level, so if melting continues, people may have to move out from coastal communities. There will be no way to stop the rising ocean from man-made places.” explained Axel. -“Wow.” said Lorek. -“Come, I have more to show you.” told Axel. After some time, they finally found a stream in front of them.&nbsp; -“This stream is called Riachuelo. It’s polluted with a lot of plastic. It is contaminated approximately with 90.000 tons of organic waste per year. Plastic is one of the main causes of contamination in the Earth. It takes a lot of years to disintegrate. Plastics make our lives easier but they can be extremely dangerous for animals, for most animals eat plastics. Micro plastics are also contaminating, they are small plastic particles that float in the ocean and in the air. Besides animals eating micro plastics, research shows that many micro plastics in our body come as we inhale them when we breathe. We also can’t just get rid of plastics by burning them, since it releases dangerous substances and different toxic chemicals that go to the air. The only solution that remains to stop contaminating so much with plastics is to stop producing and using plastics. We have to make companies, clothing lines and more, to switch to environmental friendly and packaging options.” explained Axel.&nbsp;

For example, we could avoid the use of single-use plastics such as drinking straws; if we go shopping, we could always carry a cloth bag; we could buy more food in bulk and less packaged products sold in supermarkets (polystyrene trays, PET bottles, plastic containers) to reduce the use of plastics; replace plastic tupperware with glass or steel containers because not only would it help to take care of the planet's health, but also some plastic objects could release harmful substances. To help solve climate change, each person can also incorporate new habits. For example, walking or riding a bicycle or using public transportation to reduce carbon emissions; saving energy (turning off and unplugging your appliances when not in use); avoiding the consumption of red meat since livestock production increases greenhouse gas emissions; using renewable energies, among other initiatives.” responded Hailey.&nbsp; -"Who is most affected by climate change?” asked Axel. -"Developing countries and poor countries are the most affected by the impact of global warming and are vulnerable to extreme weather events.” responded Hailey. -"Which organizations and specialists have the most power to influence this issue?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -"Major corporations and developed countries with industrialized economies are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions. It would be very important that these countries agree to take concrete steps to reverse the problem of climate change.” responded Hailey.&nbsp;

-"How much time do we have left to stop climate change?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned that we must make an urgent effort to avoid and reduce the most negative impacts caused by climate change before 2030 and avoid scenarios with devastating consequences for the environment.” responded Hailey.&nbsp; -"Nowadays plastic is used for practically everything, is plastic being used more and more or less?” asked Axel.&nbsp; -"Plastics have generated several benefits for society and the environment, however, plastic pollution has become a persistent and widespread challenge. To date, 6.3 billion metric tons of plastic waste has been generated, of which only 9% has been recycled, 12% incinerated and 79% accumulated in landfills or disposed of in the natural environment. As a result, plastics are found in disturbing quantities in the ocean, air, soil and freshwater resources, even in the most remote and pristine areas of the world. It is estimated that between 4.8 and 12.7 million metric tons of plastic waste enters the oceans each year from land-based sources alone. The problem of plastic pollution in the ocean is clearly a marine problem that requires a land-based solution. It is intrinsically linked to unsustainable production and consumption patterns and the inability of the waste management infrastructure to keep pace with our rate of waste generation. Estimates show that if current consumption patterns and waste management practices continue, by 2050 there will be an estimated 12 billion metric tons of plastic waste in landfills or in the natural environment.” explained&nbsp; Hailey.&nbsp;

-Can you please teach me everything you know about them? -NO -Please? -NO -Come on! -Uh, OK. But we will need to go to other places, animals don't live around here. She was super happy! She ran home and told everything to her family. -Congratulations!-Said her mother-You better go to your room and start packing all your things. Ann went to her room, took a suitcase and started putting her things in: A copy book, a pencil case full of colour pencils, sharpener and eraser. She took a lunchbox and put some food her mom had prepared. They both bought plane tickets to Mexico and met at the airport. -Are you ready Ann? -Better than ever! Let's go! The flight wasn’t the best one Ann has been in, but she enjoyed it as much as the other ones. When they arrived in Mexico they saw many street dogs that needed immediate help.

-You will have a guide that talks to you about our organization and goes out with you to help dogs that are still in the streets- One they entered the place millions of animals started barking and jumping and running because of excitement. Black and white dogs, brown cats, there were many colorful animals.

It was already 8:30 pm when they arrived at the hotel. -We will begin tomorrow-He said The next day they went to Holbox island where Refugio Animal Holbox was. This place was a sanctuary on an island that rescues animals such as domestic and wild animals. As this island was a natural reserve they also helped animals like flamingos, crocodiles, sea turtles, etc. -Hello and welcome to Refugio Animal Holbox! Are you here to be a volunteer?-The ticket man asked

-Of course! We are here to help dogs, cats and any animals that come to us!-Ann said

¿Cómo nos afecta a nosotros la contaminación del agua? En primer lugar, nos afecta ya que provoca la desaparición de la biodiversidad y los ecosistemas acuáticos. También el ser humano se ve muy perjudicado a causa de la alteración en la cadena alimentaria y contrae enfermedades al beber o utilizar el agua contaminada. Ocho de cada diez muestras de agua potable recolectadas en ciento cincuenta y nueve lugares del mundo contienen fibras de plástico microscópicas.

¿Cómo nos afecta la contaminación del agua? Ahora voy a explicar las causas de la contaminación del agua, un ejemplo es el riachuelo, ¡que está contaminado hace más de doscientos años! Las principales fuentes de contaminación de la cuenca Matanza Riachuelo son los desechos cloacales, los desechos industriales y los basurales.

Y lo más importante de todo: los científicos sospechan que las fibras plásticas detectadas en el agua de la canilla pueden transferir sustancias tóxicas al cuerpo cuando son consumidas por los seres humanos. A muchos no les importa cuidar el agua , porque no saben por qué nos afecta, pero la contaminación global nos afecta de varias maneras.&nbsp; En este caso, la contaminación en el agua.&nbsp;

Cada día recibe casi noventa mil metros cúbicos de desechos industriales y trescientos sesenta y ocho mil de aguas servidas. Su permanente contaminación afecta a cinco millones y medio de habitantes, entre los cuales casi cuatro de cada diez no tienen agua potable y más de la mitad no posee cloacas. El agua tiene niveles de mercurio, zinc, plomo y cromo de hasta cincuenta veces más de lo permitido. La salud de los pobladores y el plomo en la sangre de los niños es el mayor problema que tiene esta contaminación. También hay muchas personas con problemas respiratorios y alergias en la piel debido a esto. 

Humans also use animals for medical research. The results of the research are important for knowledge about health and disease in humans and animals. But this is controversial because animals sometimes suffer or are caused damage or death during experiments. This is also very cruel. For example there is a story of a rabbit that was used for medicine, first they tested the medicine on it and then on humans. This treatment worsened the life of the rabbit, he was left without an eye and very injured.

All animals, also those raised for food, should live free from suffering and abuse. Many animals are slaughtered for food every year. As people are becoming more conscious of this, many have become vegetarian, they do not eat any kind of meat and some more radical are vegan, there do not eat any kind of meat or food that comes from animals such as milk, eggs, cheese etc

My personal conclusion and opinion: After all my research and inquiry process, I found interest in a lot of things I never studied before. I learned that we need to treat nature in the best way possible, with everyone working together to make the world a safer environment for animals to live. Everyone has to have certain responsibilities to take over nature. We have to all start adding habits in our daily lives to be able to reduce the plastic use in each house and be able to reduce the contamination and climate change. Unfortunately, the invasion of plastics on the planet is a reality. Plastic has become a constant in our lives as we find it everywhere. And a very important thing we all have to do is to spread awareness with friends and family, and even people you don’t know so that everyone gets to understand what a big problem pollution has created over the years. I want to share what I learned in this time, so everyone can understand the preoccupation that I have over the world. But I believe that if everyone collaborates, animals can be saved and environments can be restored. Together, we can make a difference.

Animals are our companions for us on the earth, they may be exotic or common, domestic or wild, they are very important in our lives. We have to protect them. They are part of nature, they can give us emotional support and the knowledge that we get from them. We as humans, the most intelligent beings on the planet, have the responsibility to protect animals. We share the earth with them and there are different ways to help animals. For instance, we should all respect them and their habitats, we should keep them healthy and safe, show them love and protect endangered animals. There are two reasons for an animal to become endangered: Loss of habitat, such as the development for housing, agriculture or industry that reduces the habitat of the animals and loss of genetic variation, which allows animals to adapt to changes in the environment, which may happen naturally.

There are some cruel facts as regards the human “use” of animals. Some people transport animals from one place to another for the purpose of selling them. They smuggle, capture or collect them illegally. It can involve the trade of animals, their meat or other parts. Unfortunately this is a big business and very sad too&nbsp; that moves millions around the world. Some countries have started to take these crimes seriously but not enough has been done yet. Some examples of animals are monkeys like in the photo that they are mistreated.

S: ¿Pudieras aconsejarme algo para que le diga a la gente para que me ayuden a cuidar a las manta rayas? L: Sí, algo que me parece super importante ahora es que cuidemos la contaminación de los océanos y mares. Hay muchos desechos que van al mar, un ejemplo son los barbijos, entonces me parece importante recordarles a todos que les saquen los elásticos antes de desecharlos para evitar que los peces se enganchen en ellos. También obviamente si puede utilizar barbijos ecológicos sería ideal. Lo más importante es crear conciencia en la gente para que juntos podamos cuidar nuestro mundo.

S: Muchas gracias por tu tiempo. Me ayudaste mucho con el trabajo. Ojalá empecemos a cuidar más a los animales para que no sufran y las especies no se extingan.

Exhibition 2021 FINAL COPY Y6B By Guido Estanislao Screnci Silva Is it ok to “use”animals For different purposes? Have you ever heard that there are more exotic animals kept as pets than there are in the wild? Why do you think this happens? Exotic is an adjective that means that something is not common for you or it is from another country. What is exotic for you may not be for someone else. For example a kangaroo for Argentinians is rare, it is not common to see a kangaroo in our lands but for Australian people it is usual or familiar. Many people keep exotic animals as pets as a symbol of luxury and wealth. In the last few years, having exotic pets has increased a lot in many countries and this should stop happening!!&nbsp;

Exotic animals are difficult to take care of because they have specific needs to keep them healthy and they belong in the wild. But having exotic animals as pets seems to have become fashionable, to show them on social networks. Domestic pets like dogs, cats or birds may be good either for the animal and/or for the person. But exotic animals such as tigers, lizards, snakes, etc should never be owned because it could be harmful and dangerous for the people and also for the animals. Apart from that, many exotic animals may carry illnesses which could be fatal for humans. Although having an exotic animal at home might be fun and different, it could also be dangerous.

REPRODUCCIÓN: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Las manta raya son ovovivíparas. Esto quiere decir que la hembra manta raya produce un huevo que lleva en su vientre&nbsp; hasta que nace su hijo. El embarazo dura aproximadamente entre 12 a 14 meses y el hombre es quien tiene que luchar contra otras manta rayas para poder enamorar a la hembra. Para que se produzca la reproducción el macho debe sostener con sus aletas fuertemente a la hembra, incluso le muerde su aleta para&nbsp; así introducir el semen en la hembra. Para el nacimiento de las crías las hembras se acercan a aguas poco profundas. Luego esperan de dos a cinco años para volver a embarazarse. En general nace una sola cría, raramente dos. La reproducción de este animal marino es muy lenta y es escasa. Recién pueden empezar a reproducirse a entre los 8 a 10 años de edad

SOBREPESCA Y CONTAMINACIÓN: Las manta rayas se encuentran en peligro de extinción debido a que quedan atrapadas en las redes de pesca junto a los demás peces. También es importante señalar que la contaminación marina, ya sea con los plásticos de desecho, como también con el material descartable que se utiliza para el COVID 19 y es tirado al mar sin tener en cuenta sus consecuencias. La basura tapa el estómago de las mantas rayas dificultando la digestión y la respiración. La pesca de mantas también se convirtió en un deporte poniendo en peligro su especie. Recordemos que viven muchos años y que la reproducción es lenta entonces es importante cuidar la especie.

Con el objetivo de intentar ayudar a la gente a ver que nuestro planeta,&nbsp; en especial las manta rayas, están en peligro es que me contacté con Lucía, la veterinaria encargada del acuario de Temaiken. Tuve la posibilidad de hacerle algunas preguntas que me gustaría compartirles. S: ¡Hola Lucía! Me llamo Santino y estoy muy preocupado por la posibilidad de que las manta rayas puedan estar en peligro de extinción. Necesito buscar información sobre el tema y pensé que podrías ayudarme. Por eso armé algunas preguntas.

S: ¿Existen manta rayas&nbsp; de agua dulce? L: Sí, existen manta rayas que viven en aguas dulces, pero acá en Temaiken solamente tenemos agua salada. S: ¿Nacieron manta rayas en Temaiken ? ¿Estando en cautiverio? L: Sí,&nbsp; nacieron muchísimas. Estando en cautiverio pudieron reproducirse y eso es una buena señal, ya que pudieron hacerlo fuera de su hábitat natural. El acuario es una reproducción del fondo del mar, pero recordemos que nunca es exactamente igual al lugar que ellas acostumbran vivir.

Hola soy Catalina Olivera pero me dicen Cata, y estoy tratando de hacer un pequeño cambio. Tengo 11 años y viví en Argentina toda mi vida. Me importa mucho la naturaleza, las plantas, los animales, básicamente todo lo que tenga que ver con ello. Poco a poco estoy logrando cuidar más al planeta. Mi trabajo dé exhibition se va a tratar sobre el calentamiento global y la contaminación, también sobre algunas ideas para no usar tanto plástico.

Buenos días, soy Ana Wilson-Rae y siempre me gustaron los animales y la naturaleza. A veces me dicen que soy como un imán para ellos. Me importa mucho la salud de los animales y quiero hacer todo lo posible para ayudarlos, no solo a los animales sino que también a todo el medio ambiente. Les voy a hablar sobre el maltrato animal y sus consecuencias. Todos podemos ayudar a que esto pare y que los animales vivan felices.&nbsp;

Many wild animals are beautiful but they should never be kept as pets because they have to live in their habitats, they were born to be wild and humans should respect them and their needs. Sometimes I feel animals are more “human” than some human beings. As they are of great help to all of us we should all treat them well, respect them, take care of them and if possible love them, like I do! I feel they are lovely and loyal, like great friends!

What is the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is&nbsp;a natural process that warms the earth's surface by trapping some sun's energy in the atmosphere but not all, the other part goes to space. Things like factories, cars, trains and lots more, liberate more gases that are trapped in the atmosphere because of the greenhouse effect. That makes earth much warmer. Studies say that in the past 100 years it has increased 1 degree. It might sound like nothing, but it changes a lot. The greenhouse effect has 6 steps:

1Sun's radiation reaches earth's atmosphere, some of this is reflected back into space 2The rest of the sun's energy is absorbed by the land, oceans and seas, heating the earth 3Heat radiates from earth to space 4Some of this heat is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, keeping earth warm enough to sustain lots of lives 5Human activities such as making wildfires, always using a car, and not turning off the lights are increasing the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere 6This is trapping a lot of extra heat, and causing earth temperature to rise

Which is the city with the most polluted air in the world? &nbsp;The city with the most polluted air in the world is New Delhi, with a population of 21.75 million .2011. New Delhi is the capital of india. The air in New Delhi is very polluted and covid made it worse. Because with all the fog, the corona virus particles stayed for the density in the air. A LOT of people got covid for that reason.

How to stop polluting that much air? You can stop using your car all the time and instead use the bus or ride your bike. When you are not home you can turn off all the lights so it isn't a waste. If you know someone is planning on making a very big fire STOP THEM, big fires pollute so much air.&nbsp; How can I reuse plastic? You can make eco bricks that is a plastic bottle filled with DRY plastic trash. There are many companies here in Argentina where you can give your eco bricks/bottles and they will make something amazing like wood made of them. If you want to reduce the amount of water when brushing your teeth&nbsp;just open the&nbsp;tap only when needed. You can also make sure there are no leaks.

Not on my watch By: Ana Wilson-Rae

The mistreatment of animals can be considered from not paying attention to the animal to killing them. This needs to stop immediately. We don't know what some animals are going through and we don't give them the attention they deserve. If we help people know what is happening they could help them. Exhibition is about students focusing on one topic of interest, telling people this is happening to create awareness, my topic is the mistreatment of animals, what are the consequences, why is it happening. There's a story I know that reflects everything you need to know.&nbsp;

Ann lived in Scotland with her family and two dogs. They lived in a house in the middle of an island. Ann talked too much and had short and brown hair. She had brown eyes and she was always wearing a grey t-shirt and a yellow skirt. She was 16 years old. One day while she was walking her dogs she met a fisherman that was accusing someone to fish too much. Ann got closer and asked what was going on, as an answer she got that an old man was over fishing too much and an 18 years old young man was complaining about it. Ann asked the boy why he cared about that so much but the boy didn't pay any attention. As always she made her voice louder and asked again. -“Why do you care so much about this? It's not like they are going to disappear.” -Oh, do you really think that? It's very important not to overfish because at some point fish ARE going to disappear. Ann was impressed with his answer. She asked him what else he knew about animals and he answered that he had recently become a specialist in animals, he knew everything about them-they good things and the bad ones.&nbsp;

Hola soy Agustina Pia Kim. Mientras investigaba me di cuenta que en este planeta hay muchos países. Hay algunos que tienen suficiente agua potable para todos y por eso no valoran tanto el agua, otros no tienen acceso a agua potable y hay otros que tienen agua pero la valoran y la cuidan. Yo voy a hablar sobre la importancia del agua y voy a comparar cómo valoran el agua algunos países, en el pasado y en el presente. Me gustaría que lean esta revista y entiendan que no todos los países tienen los mismos recursos. Espero que mi texto les sirva. Gracias

My personal conclusion and opinion: Some years ago I had the opportunity to travel to Australia with my family. There, we went on a private sightseeing to a wonderful zoo called Featherdale. An Australian vet told us and showed us a lot of different interesting animals which I found exotic and amazing. We saw different types of kangaroos, koalas, dingoes, platypus, Tasmanian devils, kookaburras, Emus, enormous crocodiles, strange snakes, but what caught my attention especially was an animal called WOMBAT. I liked it very much, I could hold a baby wombat in my arms. I loved the way people at that zoo looked after the animals with a lot of care and love.

As a conclusion, I would like to say that animals are very important to human beings. In some cases we really need animals. They benefit us socially, personally and economically. Animals can be our friends, companions, helpers and protectors. It is known that people who have pets have higher self esteem and they are happier, they can also protect our families. They also give us benefits to our bodies such as proteins. Some animals can also be loyal friends, some help blind people, some others can help sick people to recover. Throughout history animals have helped human beings, we have used animals to work for us, for transportation, for farming, for racing, for food, as friends and as protectors.

A change By: Lucia Angela Fuhr Y6B •In this story I will be reflecting and spreading awareness about what I learnt the past month, and making readers understand what a serious problem contamination is as regards plastic and pollution.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Lines of Inquiry: &nbsp;• How awareness of plastic use and actions might reduce&nbsp;contamination.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;•What our responsibilities as humans are to take care for the environment.

The Arctic was almost melted. Most glaciers were vanishing, with only a few stable. Lorek Byrnison glanced sadly at his habitat. The polar bear scratched his thick white fur and crawled back to his cave. Lorek had no idea why glaciers were melting and the climate was getting even warmer. He didn’t understand why this was happening or how. He only knew that he wouldn’t be able to survive much longer if his habitat continued getting hotter. Polar bears need ice to hunt, and if the glaciers are melting, they will be forced into land where they are deprived of food. Some tears rolled down from Loreks eyes. He knew he would never be able to comprehend the world around him if he didn’t get out of the Arctic. He laid his head on a rock and did his best to sleep that night. The full moon outside was shimmering brightly. Looking at Lorek up from the sky. As if the big star was deciding what future Lorek would have.&nbsp;

As the sun raised up the next morning, Lorek looked at the sky as he spotted a little dot falling from it. It started to get bigger and bigger as it started to reach the ground. A mechanism with wings crashed into the ice. It was a really small airplane. But Lorek had no idea what an airplane was. Until now. One wing was stuck on one of the only pieces of glaciers that were left. The small airplane had a bright red color with glass windows (that were broken now) and with a golden plaque on the bottom side of the transport. It had the name (ICAO) written on it. The bear was inspecting the broken mechanism with doubts and with strangeness.
