Environment

So I'm sure you have all had a great time reading all of the posts so far! It seems like everyone is really interested in the Koala's and other animals. Today a few of us walked down to the Koala hospital and we actually got to see a Koala with her Joey in their natural environment!

We also had an amazing lecture with Noah Nielson about the environment. We got to talk about how we are helping the environment. Little things such as taking shorter showers, walking more places or taking your bicycle, shutting off your electricty, and recycling can really help save the environment. He also mentioned he actually built his own house!! How many people can say they have done that?

Noah also taught us about ECO-tourism which is traveling that does not hurt the environment. I hope to go home and research this. I love the environment and have a Hybrid car. Hopefully we can teach you something when we get back!

The ways that I help the environment are like picking up garbage that is laying in the ditch and we always turn off the lights when we aren't using them. Sometimes we recycle.

When can a Joey live on its own?

I hope you are having fun!

G'day Mates...My name is Courtney Bauder and I am leading this group of students to Australia this January. I am very excited because my mother is also coming on the trip with us. I am a teacher at UW Oshkosh and I love to travel. I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world. I have worked with children when I lived and taught in China, Japan, and Germany and have traveled all over Europe, east Africa, southern Asia, and central America, and I love to make friends with people from different cultures. I have never been to Australia before, so I am hoping that you and my students can help me learn about this wonderful place 'Down Under' as I try to teach you some things too.

I know once I am all done with school, I am moving out to New York City. I am extremely excited to be able to take this trip and learn more about a different culture. This will be my first time out of the country without my family. This whole trip will definitely be a learning experience for me.
