wow this sucks

The 2nd life talk show was not really the greatest experience was kinda boring this is because the talk show had the guess lagging out no tone and a hook for us. This tells us what our talk show should not be like (tiring). Ours will be the best this is because we know what to do and what not to and we will plan ahead. We need to make our audience take charge and enjoy the show. This is our ultimate goal and probably change the world

hmm lightweight work

Today we worked at Fort Greene park where we raked leaves because of certain tress losing its leaves twice a year due to its self defense mechanism that fights against fungi and so. We manage to rake up monster piles of leaves which filled up to 5 bags just to get that pile over with. In total we manage to get 44 bags of raked up leaves which size was about 5-25 pounds. This shows that as global kids we also work hard to get help our community and take action. We are not just all talk we take action we help clam back the air and land to make it once again a cleaner environment.

-sigh- finally 2nd life finally

I WON IN MY FIRST SECOND LIFE GAME. Second life is like my worst enemy. This is because i lag more then anything on this planet. Today in the scavenger hunt on sustainability i came in 1st after searching through land, air, and sea. We also went to highland park. This is where they turn a old train system into a green palace and life's pleasure  in the city.

STEP 1 GROUP DESIGEN

Today we we're paired in groups to finally start on our topic. I was paired up with Maria and Hugo. Then we done something called a "mind map" we had to put our topic in the middle and describe what it can cause and how it was affecting us. Our topic was global warming and how it relates to daily things. Also we watched a movie called "Incovient Truth" this movie talked about global warming and what they expect it to be 30-50 years from now. Many of us felt asleep this is because this documentry was sadly boreing but we did get the message of what its expected to be and the ice caps melted. This is something we need to do for ourselves and what we need to manage.

WINNER

Today we did a 2 minute elevator pitch in which we won and finished in1 min! But it was still fun because all though we finished 1st we still have learned different perspectives on climate change, climate justice, and global warming. We had the advantage in understanding what the topic was agreeing on the same ideas and not getting angry over the littlest things. To me there is nothing that I would do differently this is because everything went so perfect the time limit, explanation that we have done, and the fact we left our audience speechless and amazed. This was a very successful day besides second life I cant wait for tomorrow

6TH DAY

Lights, Camera, Global kids, today we went to the MNN studios and had a grand tour. We seen how they recorded show on a local public access channel. and the results was us global kids members dong a talk show. We choose many different topics but was in overall a good show. The camera crew was new workers that are kids just like us. They seem to be serious on there job like if they was on real TV. Today was a good day for me and everyone i hope to put the experience i learn and apply it to the lets talk sustainability project on second life.

FIINALLY IT LIVES

It finally worked the second life game in which we played stop lagging at least by 1000% to me. Thanks to this I finally got to learn everything i needed to learn about second life. This has been a Great experience from which we all went to the "Cornwall House" There we learned about grey water, black water, and recycling tires. I learned that black water is waste from our body that cannot be recycled for plants. as of grey water is used water from sinks, and fountains these can be reused for plants. Also we learned that the tires can be recycled for building homes. This creates less waste by reusing it instead of making bricks for it to be used. I've finally got to enjoy that annoying game but it was fun and i hope to play it tomorrow with no lag.
