 * Your name: Rebecca Bloomfield ||  ||   ||
 * **Introduction**

Don't forget to mark yourself? - KH || Points || Progressive score || i enjoy being at school mainly with my mates and doing P.E, when i am not at school i am hounding mum and dad whether i can have someone over for the day or im playing netball ot tennis depending on the time of year. i enjoy hanging out with different people who i dont hang out with much or daily.
 * **__1. Name all the things you like to do?__**
 * **__1. Name all the things you like to do?__**

It is great to have a variety of interests - KH || 2 ||  || these are the things i really like doing and i like the oppertunity to have a criteria to follow. but if we werent doing this there are plenty of other things that we could use a criteria on.
 * **__2. How would you feel if you could not do these things?__**

Any ideas on a criteria based wiki could work well with? - KH || 2 ||  || i think there are a variety of things that require energy such as the above and many more eg....airconditioners, heaters, stoves.....
 * **__3. How many of things require energy such as fuel to use it, fuel to get there, machines to make what you use?__**

Well done - KH || 2 ||  || well i think that i recycle a bit of plastic and paper sometimes and and i turn things in the house off that i doint use that use energy.
 * **__4. Record all the things you know about being sustainable__**

This is a good start - KH || 2 ||  || do you think in time to come that there will be no pollution in the world?
 * **__5. What questions do you have about being sustainable living?__**

Great question. What would happen if this was the case? - KH || 2 ||  || I would feel much more comfortable if everyone else would live sustainably because if I was the only one to be doing it, it wouldn’t make any difference to the world. But they would be better for the money that we could save but yeah as I said I have seen the houses that we have now so I would rather my house I have now. Fair enough. Why would you be uncomfortable if other people weren't being sustainable? - KH || 5 || ﻿ || Most houses or anything with a toilet have a pipe running through their house that then runs to the sewage waist place, i think from there sewage and waste all get taken and thrown in the ocean...causing pollution! We could save water by all getting tanks and just using the rain water that falls in there. I think i have said in another question that with heating and cooling just save it by not having it on when it is not using it.

 * 4. Watch 60 minutes People power ‘Off the grid’ ||  ||   ||
 * Red Hat: How would you feel about living in a house made from recycled materials? I probably would prefer to live with what we have now because of the fact that I have the choice and have seen what both houses have to offer. But I would like the opportunity to think that I am helping the world and I have a bit of input into the future.
 * White hat: Give us the facts! What are the houses made from? How are they powered? What about sewage, water, heating/cooling etc.? There are different ways of the making of houses mainly timber, tiles or bricks. Most houses are powered by electricity, gas and fuels. but in now days most houses are powered by the big electric towers that run all over the world.

Well done - KH || 5 ||  || It might help the health around here and the cleaness of the town. There would be less energy being used. we could be one of the towns that are doing the sustainable living and we could start a fundraiser for it and the town and the moyne shire.
 * Black hat:It’s time to be a skeptic! Why would these types of houses not work in our community? Would these houses support your current lifestyle? Could we build them in Mortlake!!! Surely not! Tell us why I personally think Mortlake has not got the equipment or the standards like the towns that these houses are in.   So therefore i think that thesehouses wouldnt work until we have all the equipment.   Is it easier to come up with reasons for not doing something or coming up with solutions? Who do you think people prefer to like? Why? - KH  || 5 ||   ||
 * Yellow hat: What would be the benefits of living in the houses featured? What are the positives?

Fantastic idea. Would you like class time to organise this? Where would you need to start? - KH || 5 ||  || Pollution in air, like smog ovcer cities. Pollution in water from peolpe dumpign rubbish anywhere and everywhere. Thermal pollution. Radioactive pollution. Poluution in land. || 5 ||  || =poor, 2=ok, 3=getting there, 4=not bad, 5=on fire, 6=super star , 7 or more=oracle ||   ||   || From what i have learned i have gathered that living sustainably means helping the world out and making it cleaner and safer. It means people must NOT litter and not just drop their rubbish at the feet. it mean having houses made out of different materials whether they are re-used materials or just no rubber or plastic in the house. Everyone must have those energy efficient lights and must turn off all electrical services when they are not in use. The world would be more sustainable if everyone grew there own foods and not always using processed foods. Lowering the amount of use of transport and things also play a part in living sustainably. Basically people just need to watch what they do with their rubbish because it has an effect on the future and peoples lives. || 5 ||  || When people say if you turn the lights of and the heating if they are not being used they are meaning that if you turn them off you are reducing the use of electricity being used and reducing taxes and bills for people, if you live in a wide neighbourhood it isnt just you who is just getting effected by the electricity bills it has an inpact on the whole neighbourhood. Everyone uses the same electricity line and so we have to share it with heaps of people. || 5 ||  || Benefits of living sustanably would be a better life for people in the future and the world. The positives would be knowing that your kids and there kids will have a nice enviroment to be brought up in and that the world will be clean and you will have more oppertunities in life to do with land and things. || 5 ||  || I dont kno what exactly what thing you could come up with in the future but, Yes definately you could have other ways in the future. Ofcoarse we could find out many, many more ways to live sustainable in the future because there are a heps more people to yet come in to the world and everybody thinks different and everybody has defferent ideas. || 5 ||  || ' ||   ||   || ﻿ i think that people or us could: billboards news news paper local council government school people we look up too
 * Green hat: What other uses for recycled material can you think of? ﻿In south Australia people recycle soft drink and all sorts of can for 10 cents each. Many materials get recycled and pushed into a cube and then ar can be used elswhere. i am not gunna name all the thing that can be recycled but i have heard that basicaly everything can be recycled and used for a different use. You are spot on. There isn't much that we can't recycle. Any ideas on what else we could recycle at school? What/How? - KH || 5 ||  ||

 * Red Hat: How would you feel about living sustainably? Well from all of the things i have seen and watched in the history class on sustainable living i think that living sustainably would be a very different life in which we have been living in now, personally i wouldnt like the fact from going to living like this to living sustainably, it would be alright because of the fact i am helping the whole world but i have seen that i can live like i can and am living now and if i had to choose then i would rather stay the same. One of my points that i have thought through out the whole time of this project has been that if we are going to live sustainable we should have lived like it from the start not just start living it now when people have seen the lives they can have like this. || 5 ||  ||
 * White Hat: Give us the facts! What the benefits of living sustainably now?(Include facts to back up your statements e.g. What does turning off lights when they aren’t being used mean to the environment and our future? I think the benefits of sustainable living would be not just a better life for the people in now days but for the people in the future and world to come, it will also have an inpact on the whole world. It will help in the declining and changes in the balance of natural cycles, the balance of natural cycles has delined and changed due to the earths population increasing.
 * Black Hat: It’s time to be a skeptic! Why would sustainable living not work in our community? Would sustainable living support your current lifestyle? Are there people, towns, cities, businesses, schools that can’t practice sustainable living? Surely not! Tell us why The reason that sustainable living would not work in our communty is because our town doesn't have the right equipment or enough money for the whole town to trun sustainably. Living sustainably would supprt our curren tlife style a bit due to bills and things but i think it would help more in the future. There is no plavce that can not practice living sustainable living but some town are more disivantaged than others. || 5 ||  ||
