SLJ Week 1 Day 5 Activity 2

Dear Family

Over here we have had VERY cold weather, it has been up to -300C! Yesterday we did a lap around the camp and a got frostbite on my finger! They say they won't have to chop it off but I needed to keep my finger warm. The tundra is like a FREEZING COLD desert with a couple of shrubs. It has been pretty cool over in the tundra but I hope I can go home soon!

SLJ Week 1 Day 5 Activity 1

I think logging should be allowed IF it is only logging sustain ably and NOT chopping down native trees. Sustainable logging is good for the environment because humans need timber products to survive. Logging non native trees that grow back quickly (30 or so years) is good because if we chop down native trees that take 1000 years to grow back we won't have an trees.
