why hygiene is important

Why Hygiene is Important One of the benefits of personal hygiene is better health. Your health plays a big role in your life. If you want a longer healthier life to have good hygiene and good health. It is very important to have good hygiene. Personal hygiene is washing your body, hands and head clean. This is very important because you will smell nice and you will be healthier. This prevents germs and viruses already. This is how you care for your body. If people don’t have good hygiene that is very bad. You can minimize the risk of infections and it will improve your overall health. When people don’t have good hygiene they can lead greasy skin, body oda and missing teeth. They can also lead to more serious thing like if you don’t wash your hands you can easily put lots of germs in your mouth. Keeping your body clean prevents illness, helps infections and viruses. This helps your overall health. But why do we do this? When you wake up have a shower and brush your teeth and put on clean clothes. All of these that I have said is very good habits and this is our morning routine. In conclusion, hygiene is very important because it helps with our overall health. By Troy

Trench warfare

Trench warfare is lines of trenches that are into the ground, Followed by lots of guns shooting. Trench warfare took place from 1914 to 1918. This was full-on. Their trenches were only about 10 metres apart. The trenches are like a shield. Trench warfare was used a lot in World War One. In World War One, an army of millions of troops faced each other in lines of man-made trenches. The countries that were included in this were Germany, Switzerland and France. Communication was key everyday fresh food, troops mail and thousands of medical kits all delivered through the trenches. This was their way of communication. Many countries all had different formatting and ideas. Lots of countries had the first line of trenches the strongest. They had machine guns which went consistently and were caged by barbed wire for any attack. The artillery was positioned just behind the front line. In front of the front line, there were three to four parallel lines with lots of men defending. As World War one increased all the defences became stronger, especially Germans. They used big blocks of concrete to protect them from artillery, behind these were dug out trenches to shoot from there. It was way out of the enemies artillery reach. In World War Two there was not much use of trenches. Mostly air forces. To hind from these, people dug deep holes or went into caves. People dug trenches for protection as they shot. As a result, This was a great way of protection.

Plastic in the Ocean

     

Thirteen million tons of plastic goes into the ocean every year. That is a
massive truckload of trash every minute. Humans are taking over and ruining
our marine life. We have to remember that the sea animals were there first.
Most of the reasons why marine life is dying are because of plastic. When a
rubbish bin overflows, not many people really know where it goes. 

Plastic is made of very toxic chemicals. Twenty-nine per cent of the
ocean is now made up of plastic. That is two hundred and sixty-nine
thousand tons are now in the ocean. There are millions of landfills in
the world. Buried beneath each one of them, toxic chemicals from
plastics drain out and seep into the ground, making ground groundwater,
flowing downstream into lakes and rivers which they need to sea. Do you
really want to be swimming in that?

When a rubbish bin overflows or some rubbish from the landfill blows away
eighty per cent of the rubbish goes into the ocean. This is because
plastic is very light weighted. Winds, rain can blow rubbish into storm
drains which can travel through sewer pipes and waterways finally go into
the ocean. The fish will think it is food but really it's not. Sadly they eat it.
The plastic makes them full but really they're hungry and they starve to
death or drown.

A grey whale died after stranding near Seattle in 2010 with more than
20 plastic bags, a golf ball, and other rubbish in its stomach. A seal pup
found dead on the Scottish island of Skye, its intestines had just a small
piece of plastic which killed the seal. This shows you how harmful plastic
really is. This is what we are causing. Were ruining their lives.  

Plastic in our oceans affects creatures large and small. From seabirds,
whales, and dolphins, to tiny seahorses.

We can help by every time we go to the beach to put five pieces of
rubbish in the bin. Never litter and tell people if they drop some rubbish
and leave it, tell them to pick it up, Because that bit of rubbish could kill a
marine animal.

1918 book review

The resources you need to live in Antarctic

Antarctica once known Gondwana is the coldest
and driest place on earth. It hasn't rained
there for nearly two million years. In Antarctica,
no one technically lives there unlike we do in
the rest of the world.

Firstly most people go to Antarctica to live and
work on scientific research stations. People
don't realise they can't just go there for a
holiday or build a house. You need to know
to go there. There is a training camp called
Happy camper school. They teach you how to
build a snow shelter and what to do if you are
lost, how to keep hydrated and survive in
extreme weather conditions.

Secondly, if you are going to Antarctica
you need to be kitted out with lots of warm
clothes including gloves, socks, snow boots,
skins long sleeves and long legs, pants then
waterproof warm pants over top, a long sleeve
warm top and then over the top a big thick
raincoat, also wear a beanie and some
goggles.

Thirdly you need to have a good home.
It needs to be a bright colour so people
can see it. Because if it was white you
could not see it because it will blend in
with the snow. Most houses and labs now
have stilts. This is so the snow can go under and the wind can blow
under too instead of blowing over. In your house,
you need a gym, a medical unit, a sauna, a kitchen and lots of things
like that. Also, you need to have lots of food because
nothing edible grows there. Most stations have a greenhouse to maintain
a good source of fresh vegetables outside.

In conclusion, it is very hard to live and go through the rough cold conditions. By Troy
