Anywhere I could go.

 If I could go enywhere without Covid-19 I would go to Japan and expereance some of the best food.  Japan is known worldwide for its traditional arts, including tea ceremonies, and flower arranging. The country has a legacy of distinctive gardens and sculpture. Japan is also the birthplace of sushi, one of its most best food Ive ever tasted.


I also want to go because Japan is the birthplace of Anime.  Anime is short for animation, it is a type of cartoon.  Anime is almost entyerly hand drawn art

I also want to go because Japan is the birthplace of Anime. Anime is short for animation, it is a type of cartoon. Anime is almost entirely hand-drawn art, it was created by Osamu Tezuka.


The earliest examples of Japanese animation can be traced back to 1917. The defining characteristics of the anime art style we know today first emerged in the 1960s through the works of Osamu Tezuka. If you watch modern anime, you'll quickly pick up on the unique look and feel of the anime art style.

Deforestation

 Deforestation


Today I will explain deforestation 


Deforestation happens when forests are permanently destroyed and the land is used for other purposes.  A forested area the size of Panama is destroyed every year.  Some of the main reasons for deforestation are chopping down trees for fuel, creating room for cattle ranching, harvesting timber to create commercial items, and making more land available for housing and urbanization.


Common methods of deforestation are burning trees and clear-cutting.

NASA predicts that if deforestation levels proceed, the world's rainforests may be completely wiped out in as little as 100 years. 30% of earth's oxygen comes from the Amazon rainforest which is in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. 


An individual tree will consume 42 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. In the Amazon rainforest, there are over 300 billion trees 

Farming, grazing of livestock, mining, and drilling all take-up half of all deforestation.  In Malaysia and Indonesia, forests are cut down to make way for producing palm oil.  It can be found in some food like instant noodles and also it can be found in shampoos, soap,q, and skincare.


In conclusion, deforestation comes in many ways.  We need to stop and look at our forests to make sure they're ok. We should give the next generation of trees.

This is an explanation on trench warfare in WW1.


What is trench warfare, it is a type of fighting where both sides
build deep trenches as a defence against the enemy.


The trenches that were dug in the war helped provide cover for
the soldiers.  It also shielded them from the opposing sides of
machine guns.  Medics were able to rush injured soldiers to
their camp without getting shot down.


Rats were bad in the trenches they ate all the supplies for the
soldiers.  The soldiers got so sick of rats they would bring cats
to the trenches to kill the rats.  Most soldiers would kill the rats
with their bayonets.


Trench foot was an infection that both sides got when their feet
were too damp for too long.  20,000 men were infected by the
trench foot and 95,000 died from it.  Some of the trenches had
planks on the ground some they wouldn’t get trench foot so fast.


In conclusion, the WW1 trench warfare was a horrible place
and many things can happen to you.
