The Government

What would I change about the Government if given the chance, and why?

There is no such thing as 'perfect government.' As everybody in the world has flaws, including those in the government. But that doesn't alter the fact that there would be plenty of things most people would want to change about the government and their ways.
What is offshore drilling?

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch | Communicating Science (14w112)If I were given the chance to, I'd change how they are reacting towards some of the worlds latest issues. These issues being; Climate Change, Littering and Pollution in both our oceans, waterways, the air we breathe and the earth under our feet. I've not seen enough being done in the way of changing things to help with this problem. Things like single use plastics are all too common, occasionally you'll find the government have found replacements for these but you'll still often encounter one flying down a street in the wind or floating in the ocean carried by the tides, snagging up our precious sea life and suffocating them.

It'd be nice to see more plastic alternatives in our communities rather than the single use plastics we find in everyday life. Try finding better ways of making widely produced products in factories that send toxic smoke into our skies and oil into our oceans. This leads onto the topic of Oil drilling, something so important to our world being oil, to power our cars and other such things. For this very reason it is so expensive, the greed for money drawing humans to take to the seas and drill into the earth underwater in desperate search of oil. In doing so the oil leaks out into the ocean and stretches out for miles, killing any birds and every spec of ocean life, all for our power companies and vehicles fuel. How would you feel to never be able to swim in the ocean again as its too deeply polluted in the rapid search for sources of oil? To aid in this governments should invest in the producing of electric vehicles and ban drilling in the oceans for oil, search for alternatives.

What would you change about the government if you had the chance?

  3. Hello Malia,
    I'm Kaia, your sibling from home. From Kawakawa Primary school. I enjoyed reading your blog post, it made me think about all the use of plastic and oil drilling, that's bad for our earth. If I could change anything about the government it would probably be the same thing. Keep up the great work.

    Sincerely Kaia
