  1. Dear Mr Creek,
    I think Sustainability is something that goes on and on. Like the movie 'The Lorax' how they cut all the trees down without replanting. But they left 1 seed and planted it which started the sustainability all over again. If they did not plant the seed the trees would be gone for good.From Sophie Hamilton

  2. Dear Mr Creek, I think sustainability is the idea of something that can go on and on. The movie 'Happy Feet' is a good example of the sustainability of fish that penguins eat. The penguins had no fish to eat because humans were over fishing. So the penguins starved because the fish they ate were unsustainable. From Lucy

  9. hundreds of years ago people made houses out of kauri and rimu which take hundreds of years to grow they kept cutting down the trees but when the trees were all gone the people planted pine trees because they grow in thirty years.so now when all the pine trees from one forest go they go to the next forest and they replant as they go.
