THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECT

• a)    What is the Greenhouse effect?

  It is a natural process that consists in allowing the pass of the sun rays to the atmosphere, maintaining the hot of them.

  The using of sprays, cars and factories have produced an increment of methane and CO2, that destroy the ozone cap. If the ozone cap is destroyed, the UV Rays will enter to the earth atmosphere. They are carcinogenic, so they are dangerous. Other effect that produces the destroy of the ozone cap, is the accumulated hot which is in the earth cannot go out, so the climate changes, the temperatures increase and the polar caps will melt.

• b)    Why do people add more carbon oxide to the atmosphere?

  The people need electricity for do all activities we must do for have a comfort life. The factories burn carbon for get electricity, and as a consequence, millions of liters of carbon oxide are emitted to the atmosphere, increasing the Greenhouse Effect.

• c)    What are the signs of Climate Change?

  The temperatures are higher, the polar caps are melting because of the hot, and the leves of the sea will increase. Sometimes there are acid rain, produced by the gases emitted to the atmosphere. There will be a change of the precipitations, affecting the agriculture and livestock. 

• d)    What are going to be these effects in the future?

  They are going to be the same because if we do not change our life, we won't change the planet, and if we continue emitting gases to the earth, using sprays, using the car instead of bicycle or public transport and if we don't recycle, the planet is going to be even worse that it is.

• e)    What can we do to reduce the effects of Climate Change?

1. We can recycle all plastic, cardboard and glass. 
2. We must plant more trees that we cut for doing paper.
3. We must use used paper to do things instead use new paper when we must do simple things.
4. We must use public transport instead of an own vehicle. If we use bicycle, it is better because we don't need to burn petrol.
5. We must use renewable resources, because the petrol, one day, it is going to be finished. Using renewable resources, we don't need to burn anything and we do not need to emit gases which should be dangerous for our health, and for our planet health.

THE ORIGIN OF MY FAVOURITE FOOD.

Lasagna, one of the most celebrated of the Italian food staples, has a long history. The term "lasagna" comes from the Greek word, "lasagnum," meaning dish or bowl. 

The ancient Greeks used baking dishes of that name, which they eventually transferred to the Romans. The Romans, who ended up using the same style of dish, also developed a type of food which they used the term "lasagnum" for: it was served in said dish, with layers of a pasta-like food with other fillings in-between. With the extent of the Roman empire, the lasagna was extended all over Europe, then, it arrived into England, where the fist cookbook was publicated.

After remaining dormant for a lot of years, the early form of lasagna once again surfaced. The early Italians changed the name from "lasagnum," to "lasagna," which is the actually form. Over the years, the word "lasagna" began to change definitions; the word previously referred to the serving dish where was baked in, but began to mean only the delicious pasta meal.

In modern cooking terms, it now means layers of thin pasta, with meat, cheese, and tomato sauce in between. Lasagna sure has come a long way.

I like it because I really love the meat, the cheese and of course, the tomato. I love it since I tasted it at first time. It is my favorite food. from my point of view, pasta is the most delicious food all over the world.

MMM...DELICIOUS !!!

Hi everybody!!

Welcome to my new blog! I hope it is going to like you! I am going to do a great effort for having a nice blog and I hope all of us are going to have a great blog!

 I prefer have an own blog than have a portfolio, because I think all of us hate it! This is easier because for the portfolio you must be tidier and I am not it! 

It is better too, because we can see how our partners work and get ideas from  the other blogs for using them. 

I prefer it too, because we can do a new entrance when we want and we can have our own design.

That's all partners! Good luck for the full course!
