Health - Cocaine Research

 Over the last 8 periods of health we ( Me and Tamani ) have been learning about cocaine. The reason we picked to learn about cocaine is because cocaine is a serious problem that people severly suffer from. I thought that this could possibly help other people and educate them on why you shouln't use cocaine.

In conclusion I learnt a lot about cocaine and how bad it is for your body and mental health. Just to clear up I do not condone the usage of cocaine.

REFLECTION -

In reflection I liked learning about cocaine. Although it was challenging trying to get all the information and make sure that it was all correct it was also fun. I think me and Tamani both worked quite well due to the fact that we had worked toghether multiple times and were also friends.

Sustainability Essay

The worldwide problem, climate change 

Climate change is a major issue that is increasing rapidly. This is not good

because it affects humans, plants and animals. Climate change affects our l

ives, it makes living difficult for everyone from everywhere.

As you can probably tell, Climate change is pretty bad. Sadly us humans are

the reason for it. Deforestation. Humans have been cutting down trees rapidly

over the last 10 - 20 years to clear land for more building, what we haven't

realised is we are affecting ourselves and other living things such as animals

and plants. This affects humans, animals and plants because with the severity

of climate change the weather is extremely bad and it drowns the plants and

ruins the natural food for animals and humans. It also makes living harder like

I said.

Climate change impacts our lives more than you would think. Part of the reason

it may seem really hot could be because of climate change. Drought and insect

breakouts are also related to climate change. There are also some more that

include increased wildfires, Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields

, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding. Climate change also affects

the air. It can make the air less healthy for humans to breathe.

Luckily there are some things we can do to try and reverse climate change.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Reduce means to minimize the amount of waste we

create. Reuse means to use something more than once. Recycle means to use

things that have already been used in a different way.

In summary climate change is obviously really bad. But if we start trying to

make a change we will be able to prevent climate change from getting any

worse.

Warm - The colours are welcoming and make you attracted.

Bright - The colours arent faded and everything looks brand new.
