The Lorax

Hello Everyone!

       I actually just got back from watching the film "The Lorax", and I have to say, that film was absolutely inspirational. The movie itself was amazing, the visuals, the sound effects, everything! But the message behind the movie was really powerful.

      Basically, the movie was based on a book written by a genius I'm sure you have heard of, Dr.Seuss. He talked about how 'The Lorax' is a creature that protects trees at a forest from people who try and cut in down for their various businesses. He doesn't physically try and stop them, but he makes them aware of what they are doing with cutting down trees. I don't want to go in depth with the plot, but I highly recommend you see the movie. It was incredible, it just goes to show how if you cut down trees, we really are killing ourselves. We need to think about the future, and how cutting down trees is going to affect us in the long run. Not only us, but every single species on this planet too. So everyone, make it your mission to make everyone else aware of global warming, spread the awareness!

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
-Dr.Seuss

Spencer The Rhino

Hello readers!

        I just read something in a newspaper that I felt really strongly about, and so I wanted to share it. Recently, a rhino named Spencer died because of common misconceptions that people often have. What people have done to 'Save' this rhino was implant a tracking device and a toxic pesticide in the rhinos horn to deter poachers. This procedure was experimental and it turned out to be unsuccessful, in Johannesburg.

       One of the people conducting the procedure on the rhino said "The easy way out is to say 'No more' - but then the poachers win". But doesn't that mean the people conducting the experiment on the rhino are as bad as the poachers? They could have focused on alternative ways to save this rhino from poachers without harming it in any way, or touching it for that matter. But what do you guys think about this?


This picture was taken in Johannesburg, where the rhino passed away.

Dust Particles

Hey guys!

Have you ever wondered why dust 'appears' on your coffee tables or TV screens after you clean it with a cloth? Well, it's actually really interesting!

You see, there are three sub-atomic particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.
Protons = positive charge
Electrons = negative charge
Neutrons = neutral charge

There are also 3 ways of 'charging' an object to give it a charge: Conduction, Induction and Friction.

Friction is the act of rubbing 2 objects together. When you rub the 2 objects together, a charge is transferred from the object you are using to rub and the object being rubbed. REMEMBER: ONLY ELECTRONS MOVE! So that means electrons are being transferred from the cloth to the screen you are cleaning.

Here is another important fact: OPPOSITE CHARGES ATTRACT, and LIKE CHARGES REPEL. That means the positive charges and negative charges come closer together, while 2 negative charges would go away from each other. So since the dust is negative and the screen now is negative, the dust gets attracted to the screen!

Wasn't that cool? I'll get more in depth with the words used in this article next post. Until then, stay green!
