Electric Cars

8/13/2017

0 Comments

 

India, Britain, France and Norway have all set dates to completely ditch petrol and diesel cars to get cleaner vehicles like electric cars and at least 10 other countries have also set targets. It would be great if New Zealand could set a goal like this as well. The benefits of this are that the air will be cleaner for us to breath because there will be no gasses coming from cars, this will also help reduce climate change, and we don’t have to drill for oil which is killing sea life. In the last few months New Zealanders have bought more electric cars than ever before, but we can do better.

Plastic Patch bigger than Greenland Floating in the South Pacific Ocean

8/7/2017

In the South Pacific Ocean researchers have mapped a plastic patch bigger than Greenland. Researchers think that the patch is roughly 2.5 million square kilometres wide. Much of the waste seems to have come from New Zealand which is shocking. To solve this we need to cut down on the plastic we use or not use any at all. Think before you buy and think before you throw away.

Thankyou to Mrs Webb for suggesting this.
