All you need is...water.

We all know how important water is for us, how essential it is to our human system. On Earth, most of the water comes from the ocean, where only 3% of it is fresh and ready to be consume. Nevertheless, water is badly distributed (mainly because of the climate and size of lands). Countries with plentiful fresh water supplies are called "Water rich countries", while the ones who dont have as much as they need are named "Water poor countries".
The last mentioned suffer not only of scarcity, result of not having a good quantaty of water or having it, but being unfit for human use, but also water stress, the worry over present and future water supplies. Not having acces to fresh water causes death, deseases and women having to walk miles to collect water far away from their houses.
Realising how a big deal is for some people in other parts of the world to have fresh water to give to their families, while we just can drink of our tap, is shoking and mainly unfair, cause all human beings, no matter their social classes, deserve water.

Cyclon Yasi: The story of destruction

We all know that tropical cyclons are product of nature, but what if it turns to be your worst nightmare? Picture this: a very wealth country being destroyed from overnight without mercy by one of them, shattering thousands of houses, electricity poles and crops, people being forced to evacuate from their own city and even killed. This happened in Australia. Northern Queensland, to be more specific. About midnight on February 2 of 2011, the tropical cyclon Yasi made its appearance. However, it was formed in January 26 of 2011, when In January 31 it intensified to a Category 3. On February 1, it transformed in a Category 4, reaching Category 5 on Febraury 2, the strongest section ever. 

Cyclon Yasi was the biggest storm in Queensland´s history. As I mentioned before, the aftermath was terrible. There was an effect on tourism, the environment, society and economy. Floods and the cyclon itself ruined most of the banana and sugar cane plantations, costing environmental and economic losses. National Parks and rainforest vanished, being the habitats of endangered animals. More than 100,000 houses were left without electricity and just one persone died because of the ingestion of poisoned fumes. $10 Billion USD were needed for cleaning up, and more for repairment. 

It is a fact that the australian people will never forget this, the devastation of their homeland. This will be a reminder for people, so they can be for next time more prepared for what will come after.

Arabel farming

For the E.M class, we had to make a poster explaining the different processes the wheat´s crop have to make to be industrializated. All that technique is called "process". Not only the farmers are benefited by the money produced by the flour being sold, buy also, the supermarkets´s businessmen and the workers at the factories. Me, with a partner, choose the Arable farming, here it is:
