Reflective blog- Week 1

On Friday, my class and another year seven got to Skype in with the Green initiatives manager in China. The things I learnt and the questions I answered  from this experience includes:

• What three new things did I learn from this experience?

~The first major thing that I learnt is that the most common or worst environmental problem in China is their pollution. Even though lots of people have realized this problem and tried to help solve it the pollution is still getting worse. 

~The second thing is that if we focus on more on what children and teenagers can do to help not what adults can do because as lots of people say 'Our children are the adults of the future'.

~That the environment is not harmed by what we do it is harmed more by what we don't do. This means for example say we didn't water the trees and left them to die. Its not that we did something its that we didn't do something.

Nitin, the guy from green initiatives is originally from India. He moved to China because he thought he could solve or help to solve some of their environmental problems. The things that the green initiatives focus on on there website includes:

~Promotes awareness to adults and children about what they can do about China's environmental problems.

~Produces speeches and events to make people aware of how the environment is in its current state.
