4th topic -Dinosaurs-

Do you know some dinosaurs?
When I was a elementary school student, I had loved dinosaurs. Especially I had loved Apatosaurus. Apatosaurus is one of Plesiosaurus. I have figure of this. If dinosaurs have lived now, I want to ride them. But we must care for being eaten by some dinosaurs.




Now dinosaurs haven't exist. They became extinct. Many researchers have guessed the reasons.The most famous reason is that Giant meteorite fall. But some researchers guess that the reason is Global warming. 
There were many dinosaurs so carbon dioxide emission increased. It was too hot for dinosaurs to live.


Now people are concerned about global warming. If temperature continued rising, we may become extinct like dinosaurs. So we should do something to save earth. I try not to use heater very much. I use heater when I can't endure. I am careful for catching a cold.

Third Topic -Fair Trade-

I had wanted to attend to environmental ethics class .Because I love this class but I was sick.So it is a pleasure to attend tomorrow.


Today, I'll write about "Fair Trade".
I had joined to "School of Fair Trade",it is team of students, when I was a high school student. We did fashion show and sold fair trade goods.It was interesting!
Now I belong to Changing.Changing suggest menu of "Table For Two". And we will do activity of fair trade. First we want to change coffee which is used at headmaster's office.So we will make a presentation to many people. It may be difficult but I want to go well.

Why do I love fair trade?

Maybe this trade is kind for people. 
For example, have you ever watched children working at chocolate farm on TV? Did you feel "It is bad"? Maybe, cheap chocolate is made by children and not paid a decent wage. 
But if it is Fair Trade chocolate,children does not have to work and producer is paid a decent wage.

From "Javva Cafe"
This is picture "How the fair trade".
Please watch it and know about Fair Trade! 
































Last Saturday, I went to shopping center. I found Fair Trade goods and bought some goods. Please look at this picture. These are Fair Trade goods, chocolate and tea. I looking forward to eating and drinking. I will be made happy when I eat or drink:)

Second topic -My mother's policy-

Hello!

This is Japanese pumpkin gratin.
I have lived alone since this spring.
So I should cook every day.
I had eaten dishes which was made by mother when I lived with mother.
I love mother's homemade dish:)



One of my mother's policies is "Use domestic vegetables and no agrochemicals or lower levels of agricultural chemicals vegetables(国産野菜や無農薬又は減農薬野菜を使う)".
Do you know "大地を守る会" or "生活クラブ生協"?
They sell domestic vegetables and no agrochemicals or lower levels of agricultural chemicals vegetables.
My mother has bought at these for a long time.
These are very very delicious;)
But I can't eat these now because these are expensive.
I can buy vegetables which are used many Agricultural chemicals.

I recently think about why environment-friendly things are expensive.
For example, Fair Trade goods, no agrochemicals and more.
I understand why these are expensive but if these are expensive forever, I think many people can't buy.
So these goods will not spread.
