Every item of plastic that has ever been created is still with us on the planet today. 80% of
ocean waste originates from land, where waste travels to the centre of the ocean currents
and stays there. Then, these plastics mix with plankton, they are eaten by fish and become
part of the food chain.
Plastic pollution also accumulates becoming landfill, polluting water reserves, and
obstructing wildlife.

With the help of micro-organisms and insects, we can take our organic materials and turn
them into a rich, dark soil amendment called compost. In this way, valuable nutrients are
returned to nature rather than shipped away to a landfill.
Composting is an excellent way to demonstrate the cycle of life: life, death,
decomposition, and re-birth. “Browns” are dry and woody plant trimmings,
such as wood chips, dried leaves, and straw. Browns are rich in carbon.
“Greens” are moist vegetable and fruit scraps, green leaves, and
fresh manure. Greens are rich in nitrogen. In a compost pile,
you want approximately half brown materials and half green
materials by volume. Decomposer organisms need air and
water to break down organic matter.

Inventions
Everywhere you look there are objects that make your life easier: phones, cars,
even this book you are reading now! All these things were invented by people
called inventors.
Inventions can be very simple, like the zip on your coat or very big and important,
like the printing press.
Gideon Sundback invented the zip in Canada, in 1913. They used first zips for
boots. By 1930 they were put onto clothes too. Imagine your life without zips!
Johannes Gutenberg, from Mainz, in Germany invented the printing press in
1436. This invention changed the world. Before the printing press all books
were copied by hand. Gutenberg produced the world’s first printed book: the
Gutenberg Bible, in 1454. After this invention, people could find out more about
the world.

Natural disasters
One of technology’s most meaningful benefits lies in the humanitarian sector, which reaches
large numbers of people in remote and dangerous locations to provide critical resources fast
and efficiently. In times of disaster, basic connectivity is a form of aid, allowing organizations
to deliver life-saving information and resources.
• Big data analytics is useful to get crucial information on which to act. It helps
build a real time picture of what is happening on the ground. Analysing water levels,
shelter locations, availability of beds, road closures, among others allow humanitarian
organisations to act. For example, the Red Cross responded in less than two months to
more disasters than they had covered in the last four years thanks to data
analytics platforms.
• Aerial robotics like drones help
tremendously in times of crisis.
Using this technology, organisations
can assess damage in real time,
increase situational awareness
and deliver items faster, cheaper,
and more effectively. In the case of
earthquakes, aerial robotics allows
for effective response.
Activities to do
I’m very excited for this trip with my family
because there are a lot of activities and
things to see at the Giant’s Causeway.
Of course, there is the walk along the
causeway and the cliff. There is a hike
which you can take from Dunseverick
Castle, along the coastline and up to the
Giant’s Causeway. The part I’m most
excited to see is the Giant’s boot. It is
in Port Noffer in a small path that leads
to the sea. The legend says that Finn,
the giant, lost the boot in his flee from
Bennandoner. The boot is approximately
a size 93.5!
Also, there is a visitor centre which has interactive spaces and you can watch the story of Finn
McCool on a big screen, and of course, there is a lot of information for tourists.
I can’t wait to show my cousins the Giant’s Causeway!
What about you? Would you like to come? Let me know in the comments below!

WALL-E
Part One: Landing on Planet Earth
By the year 2815, a lovely and curious robot and his loyal friend,
a tiny cockroach named Hal, are the only inhabitants on Planet
Earth. His name is WALL-E and he collects and compacts
garbage to clean the planet for people’s return. Humans
instead live in luxurious spacecrafts since the year
2115, after they failed to save Planet Earth from
excessive pollution and desolation covered it all.
One day, WALL-E finds a seedling plant growing
up inside an old boot in the middle of
the trash. He picks it up and carries the plant
to his refuge. Upon their return, a landing
ship appears, and an amazing elegant white
figure emerges. WALL-E observes from a
distance. What’s she doing? What is she
looking for? As WALL-E continues to watch,
Hal approaches her. Hal, no! She fires her arm cannon at anything that moves! But she
doesn’t harm Hal at all, instead they both play together. After a while, the white figure, Eve, is
interrupted by WALL-E’s laugh and she doesn’t hesitate to point her gun at him demanding
to know his identity, but Hal defends him by crawling into his hand. She scans WALL-E and
finds no harm, so she ignores him.
WALL-E immediately falls in love with her and he is determined to get her
attention. He approaches her and introduces himself, “WALL-E”, he says,
“Eve”, she answers back. Suddenly a dust storm interrupts
them and WALL-E carries Eve to his refuge. “Hurry! The
storm is coming!” They both get safe inside just in time.
What are those? Those are WALL-E’s most important
treasures, pieces he has collected on his journey on
Planet Earth. Among those treasures is the plant and
WALL-E shows it to Eve. Eve scans the plant, stores
it in her torso and suddenly shuts down. What
is happening? Why is Eve inactive? WALL-E
doesn’t understand…anyway, he protects her
motionless body from every natural event: rain,
dust storms, and thunderstorms…until one
day the ship returns to take Eve away…Where
are they going? WALL-E doesn’t hesitate
and chases her.

live peacefully here. They are very sociable and they

Clear objectives
The shelter has been open for four years
now and they have 800,000 followers on Facebook, 150,000 on
Instagram, and their videos have been shared in different media
across the world. “We want this project to be like a seed. We know
that there are animals that we cannot protect, but if we protect the
ones around us, at least we are doing something,” said Marisol. All
the animals in the shelter are grown adults and strong now. They
got here very little. It has been a huge challenge because most of
them get here very weak.
“We believe that we are a big family of different species. Goats,
sheep, cats, dogs, cows, pigs, and even a bull play around freely
here” said Ariel. Also, there are volunteers and “Padrinos” or
sponsors who work day after day to give a better life to these
animals. The volunteers work directly with the animals while the
sponsors support the shelter and the animals economically. In this
way, they can have the food and the implements they need to take
good care of every animal.
