Why do you think we need to conserve (save) water, food, and electricity? What activity did we participate in that helped you to learn that? How can you see yourself using these skills in the future?
As an eco-school, Mono Cliffs is vigilant about water, food, and electricity consumption. We all had to take only what we needed, and eat only what we took. Doing so ensured that there was as little waste as possible left over at each meal. We also had to be careful about how much water we consumed. For example, we learned to turn off the water while we brushed our teeth or washed our hands. We learned how to make quinzees and how to cook banok over an open fire. We also participated in an instincts for survival game, and some of us were herbivores, some of us were carnivores, and some of us were omnivores. Now it's your turn to share.

I like all the photos they were rely nice and Nicole you were almost in all of them.I think we should save water because we need it for meany things for e.g.,we need water to shower, wash are hands and to cook food. We need to save food because if we finish it all at once won't have for an other time. Last of all is electricity we need to save it because if we don't there will be no electricity to charge any electronic devices.

We need to conserve because if we dont we will be wasting food that will become waste.So, we have to eat what we take the activity that we participate was when we had are breakfast,lunch, and dinner. If we didn't want to eat a certain food you will put it into a bucket and the staff will weight it if we wasted any food. I will use these skills in the future by if I go to resturant I would take food that will I like not like food that I know and i dont like it.So that food wouldn't be wasted cause they work hard the food.

If we don't conserve energy all of the resources will run out. We have to conserve.

i think we have to because Water is essential to life on earth. We need water to grow food, keep clean, provide power, control fire, and last but not least, we need it to stay alive!

As humans, it is very important to have the basic nessessities such as clean water, food, electricity,(etc). It is important to conserve these things because if we overuse and/or waste them, then we won't have as much left. Also, we should empathize more about how some children around the world don't even have simple things such as clean water,food,or the opportunity to get a good education(etc). At Mono Cliffs, when we had the competition between Faywood and Blacksmith, we were very motivated to win the competition by saving the most energy and having less waste. For example, turning off the tap when we were soaping our hands,brushing our teeth, taking quick showers, only taking as much food as we knew that we can eat(etc). In the future, by using these skills that I learned, I will try to make a diiference by creating an organization to help the children in poverty around the world by sending/donating the things that we saved here in Canada such as food, clothes(etc).
