My Essential Question is: How do melting glaciers affect our world and how can we prevent this?
I've found out some of the following:
There are actually multiple ways that Antarctica is getting destroyed! Here are some ways that Antarctica is getting destroyed:
Tourism. A lot more people have recently been trying to camp out there in the snow and the population is rapidly rising. This same problem is affecting Ularu and we are practically stamping down Antarctica like a sandcastle. Plus this ones easy to prevent..
Oil Spills. At first when I read this I thought that this was completely out of my control but it's not! If we all pitch in and drive less then we wouldn't need more oil, then we wouldn't have a big risk of these ships sinking. This problem horribly affects the marine life there and we don't want that!
Global Warming. I know this should be in the global warming section but anyway! If we all tone down our carbon use just a little then we wouldn't be affecting the ozone layer. The ozone layer is practically a safety bubble if we use carbon too much then we will burst this bubble making hot rays from the sun making everything hotter and melting the ice!
That's all I got this week but stay close for more!

my essential question ins ~ how is littering effecting our planet and how can we stop it ! ?
i found out cigarette butts is the biggest threat in the world of littering . i have also found out that in the olden days no one used to care where they put there rubbish specially cigarette butts.
food wrappers drink bottles and fast food packages are found everywhere and you don't see people picking it up . yes we have clean up australia day but how many people do you think actually do that after primary school. this is a problem and know one is trying to stop it , i want to help . chemicals released into our earth from this litter , into our waterway into our soil , with know one realising
