Week 4 ~ Day 4: Making Promises
Activity 1: Campaigning for the Conservation
Nike ~ Just Do It

The campaign that I decided to choose is Nike ~ Just Do It! I chose this over McDonalds because of health reasons. Nike ~ Just Do It means to give it a go and have a try. That’s what most people need in there lives motivation to do things. Nike is a good company that sells a lot of stuff that is fitness and sport related. Therefore I think Nike’s slogan is very good as it’s a good company that like to help people to get more fit and healthy.

Activity 2: The Plastic Pledge
How do you feel about Countdown going plastic free?
I asked my sister how she felt about this plastic free program:

She thought that it was a really good thing that local stores are thinking about canceling the use of plastic bags. Even though we don’t really go there a lot we still support their decision towards this problem. But I’m not gonna lie it was pretty hard to let the plastic bags go because we were always used to the stores providing them! Other stores like pak n save have decided to stop selling plastic bags as well which is a store that we always go to. This is what my sister feels about Countdown going plastic free!

Activity 3: Restricted Access
Machu Picchu

I really agree with the decision that the government has made. Looking at the picture it makes me want to go there as well. It would just make me super excited. The picture has a beautiful scenery and bright green grasses that just brightens your eyes up! I still support their decision about this problem. It’s better to keep our history nice and safe away from people who want to damage beautiful sites like this one. Therefore my final decision is yes! I agree with the government.

Question of the Day: Have you ever visited the Machu Picchu
Task Description: Today I have finally finished week four day three of the summer learning journey. It’s getting really close to the end of the summer learning journey and I am trying to get things done and dusted! The first activity was about slogans. We had to choose a slogan and explain why we supported that. For the next task we had to ask anyone in our house what do they think about countdown going plastic free. For the final task we were asked whether we think the government has made a good decision about restricting some people from going to the Machu Picchu. This was all for today people. Thanks for tuning in and remember to stay tune for more posts!
Kia ora & Namaste Amelia,
ReplyDeleteActivity 1: Campaigning for Conservation: is great to know that you liked the Nike campaign as I also agree that they created a very "catchy" slogan. However, the McDonald's and the Nike campaigns were only examples. For this task you need to chose one of the environmental campaigns from this website: https://www.forestandbird.org.nz/campaigns
...and than you need to create an slogan (a catchy line) for it. For example: I chose "ours not mine" campaign and the slogan I created for it is: "Not for sale!"
In order for you to gain full points for this activity I will need you to kindly hoop back in this post and chose a campaign from the Forest and Bird website and than create a slogan for the campaign just like my example above, could you kindly do that and let me know by replying to this e-mail? I am looking forward to your reply.
Activity 2: The Plastic Pledge: I am happy to see that you and your sister understand the importance of this decision and how good it is that the supermarkets have finally decide to stop provide plastic bags. It may be a bit tricky for us in the beginning because we used to have it but I am sure that we can create a new habit of bringing our own bags or use cardboard boxes to carry our groceries. For this action, I think the inconvenience for us to have to think about how to carry our groceries is small price to pay in order to give our environment a chance to recover from all of the plastics that we have been putting out in our land and seas. We can do this! ;o)
Activity 3: Restricted Access: I totally agree with you! I think is important to restrict people access to preserve the history and the nature of this amazing place. People still can go there but they just need to get organise and book ahead so they won't miss out. The exactly thing that made you excited about Machu Picchu is the very things that too many people visiting the site are damaging, which is the nature around this place. However, it's important to make clear that people don't realised neither they intend to do any damage, is just one of those collateral effects of too much exposition to thousand and thousands of people every day can do to a natural place such as Machu Picchu. You completed this activity well. Ka Mau te Wehi!
You are almost there! Keep going!
Kia kaha,
Patricia
