story book! :D
media type="custom" key="20790272"  WE CAME 2ND!! :D Many things can interrupt while you are on the road to build your future city. Many things can happen when you start building your future city. But lots of things can happen after your future city has become a developing one. Today MERI will be will discussing with u about many problems that can happen AFTER you built our fascinating city. What can happen if your city was in progress and a major problem comes along? What can you do if you try to solve the problem to get your city back in its correct form? To survive in the futuristic city you may need to need to use earth’s energy to grow crops and food, herbs for medicines, trees to recycle the air we breathe in and the minerals under the earth’s crust to help our city. In those days we won’t have as much resources unlike now. We might chop all the trees and there would only be a little bit of air we can breathe in. What will happen is our loss of flora and fauna increased? Like someone from year 4 said, if we don’t have bees, what do we put on top of the cake? Sticks? We need to look after our resources while we use them. If we humans get to greedy, they could all finish like that! (click fingers)
 * OUR AWESOME SPEECH! **

Transport is one of the main things that make pollution. They use one of the world's un reusable resources.That is oil. Transport uses 80% of how much oil we find every day or year. Many animals lose their habitat when people go mining for oil. Pelicans, Turtles and many land animals are affected as some oil come from under the sea.

Cutting down trees and clearing natural space for new towns and agriculture might sound like its good for us but actually, it is very bad. If we clear forests, most our resources will plummet down. Oil, timber, or minerals will soon be gone. Fertilizing trees also seem good but actually isn’t. Trees can grow too quickly or die too quickly. It does not help trees but rather kills it. Deforestation is still continuing today and if it keeps going, in a hundred years, rainforest can completely vanish. Also some animal or plant species become extinct because of deforestation. Forests play a major role to keep soils moist. Without the leaves to cover the hot sunlight, rainforest will become completely barren. Trees also play a role in the water cycle. Trees continue the water cycle by lifting water vapor back into the atmosphere. Forests have a big part in keeping humanity alive. Trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, a vital piece for our bodies, and without them, we wouldn’t be here today. Trees also absorb greenhouse gases, which causes global warming. Lesser forests and trees mean more gases that help global warming. Deforestation is a big problem but has an easy solution. Just stop cutting trees down.

Fishing has caused major problems around our world. Over fishing causes fish population to drop down drastically. Unsustainable fishing of fish, shellfish and etc. causes unbalancing the ecological balance of aquatic environment. Unbalancing the ecologic balance puts other animals that eat fish in danger as well. If we overfish salmon, what will happen to the sharks? They will compete with other sharks to just eat some food. Some animals will die because of hungriness. Fish farms also damage the environment. Wastes from fish farms go into the seas, and kills many wild fish and aquatic species. Long line fishing can lead to extinction because the death of one marine mammal has a factor of its species becoming extinct. Drift nets are also a fishing technique that captures millions of fish, including fish not meant to be caught, kill millions of birds, whales, seals and more. Some fishing techniques destroy underwater habitats. Take the illegal dynamite fishing. Dynamite fishers throw dynamite into the water. The dynamite explodes and KA-BOOM! Millions of fish are floating, dead and the coral underwater is destroyed.

Tourism can also have a huge impact of the environment. Everyone likes to explore new areas and different landscapes and sites, entertaining and exciting, isn’t it? But does tourism have a bad side? Yes it does. Tourists can usually harm and destroy habitats of rare and endangered species even killing them. Another example is litter. Littering can also have a huge impact in the environment especially oceans that get contaminated with litter caused by careless tourists strolling by, not bothering to dump their litter in the right place!

Agriculture can also have a huge impact on the environment, especially modern agriculture. Modern agriculture can have huge impacts such as loss of wildlife and their habitats, use of pesticides, use of fertilisers and also the destruction of hedgerows all making huge impacts on the environment which can all put huge impacts on the environment. Specialised monoculture is also preventing abundance of certain species of wildlife. Agriculture, especially modern agriculture puts a huge impact on the environment.

Energy can also have an impact on the environment. Generating energy from sources can all have minor or major impacts on the environment depending on the source used. Energy also relates to oil companies. Oil spills, oil exploitation and oil fields all have major impacts on the environment. Global Warming is another impact on our environment, warming of the earth because of greenhouse gases which occurs from burning of coal- which forms electricity for us to use. All of these have a connection to radioactive pollution, which is the pollution of air, water and other radioactive sources

There are many things that can affect the future city. Many precious animals can be extinct; we can run out of supplies like coal, water, trees etc, our natural sites and world heritage sites should standing up with no threats for it to worry about. As long as you look after your city and its resources by recycling, reproducing and reuse it might not be that bad. Eventually the materials will run out someday, but if you take care of it, it might last longer!! This speech is delivered by one of the epic member or M! E! R! I! MERI !!!
