Last class....

Tomorrow is the last day of this semester. It means tomorrow is the last day we can take Scott's class. I can't believe it. Time flies..... In this semester, I could learn many very important things in his class. I come to interested in global issues after I took his class. I could learn I, ordinary person, can do something to save the earth. His class was always fun so I can enjoy learning. All IESb's student will miss his class.... There are no more global issues class next semester, but I will never forget what I learned in this class and keep thinking what I can do to make the world for the better. And I will keep blogging next semester. Because it is very fun! Well, Scott, thanks so much for great classes and teaching us very important things!! Your class was wonderful!!
Thanks again...

Global warming

Hi! It’s very hot these days and I can’t live without air conditioner even though air conditioner is bad for environment. Air conditioner leads global warming and global warming makes more and more people use air conditioner. bad cycle….
I read as many as one million species of land plants and animals are in danger of becoming extinct if global warming continues. The article said as many as 37 percent of the world’s living species could be destroyed because of the global warming by the year 2050.Global warming is really really serious problem….
Not only Plants and animals but also humans are in danger. Many scientists believe the Earth's rising temperatures could eventually melt polar ice caps, cause sea levels to rise and worsen flooding.
We know global warming affects the environment negatively and we have to do something to stop it. However, it is difficult to actually take action. I also can’t turn off the air conditioner… but now I set the air conditioner at 26℃ from 24℃ and pulled out the plugs of electronic machines which I’m not using now. There are many things I can do easily to save the earth. It is not big power if only I do these things but when many people take action, it effect positively!

Hi! It's Saturday! Yahoo~~!!
I went to "Bikkuri donkey" with Erica and Michika yesterday. I like hamburger steak so it is one of my favourite restaurant. I ate very delicious hamburger steak and parfait!! After that, we went to "Geo" to borrow the videos. I watched "life as a house", Japanese title is "umibe no ie". It was really good! I had a very good Friday night!!
But I have a lot of things I have to do this weeekend. So I have to study hard from today...
I am going to work on Scott's essay first. I am writing about deforestation. I hope it will be a good essay.

Hi! it is very hot thesedays. I often feel like i want to go to the sea to swim. However, many sea in japan are not clean. My home town is in Shiga. There are no sea around Shiga but there is lake Biwa in there. Lake Biwa is the biggest lake in japan. My house is far from laek Biwa so i don't go there often but sometimes I go there. Because there is lake Biwa, my prefecture work hard to clean the water of lake. It is said that water from house is one of the cause of water pollution. Therefore, people encouraged us to do something to stop pollute water. For example, it is bad for water to throw away(?) used oil to drain. Therefore, community try to gather used oil and they made soap from oil. Also poeple recommend us not to throw away the water which was used to wash rice before boil to drain. Instead of doing this, they reccomend us to use this water to flower or foliage plant. It is not easy to do this because it is very easy to throw them directly to drain. However, this small action make water clean!

Hi! I worked for Peter's research port folio but i was too tired to continue writing it. So I decided to write blog. I am very sleepy....
It is very hot thesedays and i drink alot. There are many pet bottles in my house.
Now I remembered my high school uniforem was made by pet bottles. my high school is friendly to environment isn't it? and it is surprizing that poeple can make cloth from pet bottles.
It is great that by recycling garbage, garbage will be something new. There are so many garbage around us and it is very serious problem. There are no place to put the garbage. therefore, i think recycling is one of the best ideas to solve this garbage problem. Recycling is what we can do easily in our daily lives. so....let' recycling!!I will bring pet bottles in my house to some place where can recycling pet bottles. So if someone know the place where i can bring my pet bottles in Hirakata, please tell me!

H! Summervacation will come soon! But I have to do so many things before this vacation...
The due day of paper for Peter's class will come soon. I will write about child labor.
I was really sad when I know the fact that there are at least 250 million children between 5 years old and 14 years old who have to work in developing countries. Many of them are working under the very hazardous condition. I was researched about it and many people said the main causes of child labor is poverty and lack of education. In developing countries, children have to work to support their families. Children can't go to school because they have to work. Therefore, they can't get education and then, they can't get jobs. It is bad cycle.
The laws to ban the child labor is necessary but there will be families which cannot live without money which is earned by children. It is very difficult problem to solve. However, I think governmental support is necessary to solve this problem.

I had a very good weekend!
I went to umeda for shopping with my friends and it was so much fun!
There was sale and there are so many poeple there.
I enjoyed shopping but I don't like crowded place so I was very tired.
I went to the "kushiya" first time!
It was so nice! I ate too much and finally, it is difficult to walk....
I felt guilty to people who can't eat enough food...sorry....
And I can't believe I am hungry now and try to eat dinner even though I was so full last night...
Good weelend will over and Monday comes again....

I can't stop thinking about it!!
But I have a lot of things I have to do before the summer vacation.
I will do my best imagining a wonderful summer vacation.
