Week 8!

We are already at week 8, and we are getting deep into the topic.

We spent most of our time working on how we would design our city. Here are some key points.

Energy:

If we decide to build our city near the ocean, then we can gather power from:

Solar Panels
Windmills - Seabreeze
Tides
The heat of the ocean

And, we can establish a rule in our government so that all buildings and houses must operate with solar power and renewable fuel.

Water:

We must replenish water bodies and ecosystems
We can reduce the amount of water and energy used
And there are three r's for water, just like for keeping our earth clean:
Reuse, Recover and Recycle

We also need to have a water-sensitive urban design
We need to have water regeneration, like how in space, astronauts drink purified pee

There are also different types of water:

Black Water: the water from the toilet, can't be recycled
Gray Water: everything else which can be regenerated

We also want to keep our city clean and safe, so we thought of these ideas:

Every product could have a computer chip or tag with the buyer's name on it, so if the product got littered, the police could scan the chip and find the litterer.

We can get everyone to sign in when they go to the beach, so when nighttime comes, they can call everyone who signed in to help clean up the beach.

That's what we brainstormed for week 8!
