Eco footprint diary

In class we have been looking eco footprints and how we could reduce our own.
Heres a site that calculates your eclogical footprint http://www.earthday.net/footprint/
We decided that we have to come up with three things that we would do to reduce it.
here are my three things:

I will recycle more

I will have shorter showers and sometimes have cold ones

and I will also buy energy saving light bulbs

Tips to do when stranded with the items on you

When you are stranded on an island first of all you need to find shelter so when night falls you aren't stuck in the middle of no were. 

also try and find a fresh source of water so you don't die of thirst.  You also need to try and find a mud path trough the forest because it will be probably used by wild pigs.    

Jobs on the Matia islands

As you know on the Matia islands my job is that I am a builder and here's some information on what I will do. As a builder its my job to make a place for everyone to live, but seeing as we are stranded on an island my teacher has said that every single person can only take 5 essential items with them for their community. the 5 items I would take would only the essentials like nails, a hammer, a saw, tarpaulin etc.

Jobs on the Matia islands

On the Matai islands every single person has to have a job so that everything runs and works properly. On the islands these are some of the jobs I think it will need:

Eco-house designer, Rubbish handler, Mayor, Communications technicians,Engineers, Island trade workers, Transport workers, Builders, Boats men/woman, Doctors, Wagon and cart makers and many more.

Out of all of those the one I would most like to be is a builder. I think that I would be good at this because I know lots of builders and am pretty good at it.

So which one would you be?

Urainium on the Matia islands

In class we have been talking about sustainability. While on this topic our teacher told us about these virtual islands that he and others have claimed ownership of. On the island that Mr Woody had claimed we had uranium and we also had limestone. Mr Woody said he was being deviously clever by doing this or was he behind stupid. he sent us out to find out whether the uranium would help or hinder us. Uranium would be not very very dangerous for us to have around us but still dangerous, urainium is also only worth 78 dollars a pound so not very helpful. =-(
