CAPE TOWN'S ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT:

**A post frm facebook by Christoph Hugel,raised a corncern about the total ecological footprint of some of the Cape Town's richest suburbs of how they largely contribute negatively to our mother earth.The suburbs are so large that 14 planets would be required if everyone lived like the people in Camps Bay and Contantia.This is a wake up call to each and evryone of us to start considering the total amoiunt of waste and energy the consume each and everyday.The suburbs rank about  5-6 more planets required.This footprint is even higher than United States.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE START CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY TOWARDS THE EARTH.

hi my name is phelokazi gagelo, a female 1st year uwc ess student. i was born in cape town khayelitsha and i still live there. iam now 19 years of age. i started primary level at sosebenza primary school then did my high school iat matthew goniwe memorial high school. i chose to do ess because i have never really been into close contact with nature and ive seen all the advertisements talking and preaching awareness and i decided to try and understand why they care so much about it. i joined ess because i also want to have a hand in understanding nature so that i can also contriute to these awarenesses. to my surprise, i have noticed that my attitude towards nature has changed tto. i no longer just walk all over plants and stuff like that now. im a new person

Beta Fish

Last week Friday we went to check on our fish but we ended up doing more than check on it. It was "fine" I think but anyway, we ended up looking at other fishes and we found out that the female fishes are much friendlier than the male fish. If you put your finger on the tank (female beta fish) the fish swims towards your finger and when you move your finger around the fish moves with it whereas if you put your finger on the male's "tank"(jar) it gets "shocked" and swim to the opposite direction. We also observed how the male beta fishs' water is changed and it was quite disgusting. An interesting fact that Ms Gwen told us, which we still find hard to believe, is that the fishs' stomack is as big as its one eye so when you feed the male beta fish you should look at its eye then break the food down to the size as small as its eye.
So yeah, fishes are quite difficult to look after and if you're a lazy person don't get a fish as a pet becasue then it's going to die faster than it will take you to study ESC.

How the water is changed. She sucks the water out via the pipe and when the water is half way she blocks it, puts it into the bucked than takes her finger off to let the water flow into the bucket, The black thing inside the jar automatically measures how much water must flow out so when the right amount is out the water stops flowing out.

She used that to pour fresh water back in

The worlds a desert

SHOCKING to see that 2/3 of the world is becoming a desert.

I'm against culling and am saddened at the fact that 40 000 elephants had to die in vein because it didn't solve the problem.

However this video has taught me that NATURE KNOWS BEST and that we only need to look and learn from the past to solve current problems of our environment instead of making hasty decisions that get elephants killed.
