Nuclear power
So is your power cheap? Well good for you, but not so good for the environment and us.
I am here to tell you why Nuclear Power is so bad!
Firstly. Nuclear Power IS NOT environmentally friendly. Do you care about the environment? You do. Well Nuclear Power stations don’t. Did you know that Nuclear Power stations produce radioactive waste and have a guess were that goes. In a box underwater!
Secondly. The danger of a Nuclear Power station are SIGNIFICANT if the cooling system breaks down. Radioactive waste goes everywhere and has a massive affect on the environment and us. This has happened in Chernobyl in 1986 over 20 years ago and people STILL CAN’T LIVE THERE. Well at least around that area.
These are my reasons why Nuclear Power is bad. It is not environmentally friendly and it puts us in danger.

Aerial spraying
Aerial spraying
Aerial spraying is bad I don’t want it any more here are my three reasons.
reason 1 Aerial spraying does not work because spraying by air just gets the canopy and not the ground so the PAM can keep breeding on lower trees and produce babies.
reason 2 The cost of aerial spraying is a lot. It can cost millions but mostly the tax payers have to pay. Some of the spray does not even get to the ground which means they have to do it again from the ground it’s a waste of spray.
When they Aerial spray they have to pay for a plane or a helicopter to spray and then they have to pay for the pilots hours.
reason 3 Health is a big concern in aerial spraying because it sprays every where and what about people who may have asthma they could get really sick or have a asthma attack.The worst thing is that no tests have been taken they have just taken information from overseas and overseas could be wrong it could make people sick.
So now you have read my three reasons on why we should not have aerial spraying.

PAM
Why I do not support the spraying
I am going to tell you why I think aerial spraying for PAM is wrong.
There are still thousands of PAM caterpillars left and MAF is having to increase the spray zone from 600 hectares to 10,000 hectares. Shaun a boy who lives in the spray zone said “It’s not working because they have to keep making the spray zone bigger and bigger.” All MAF seem to be doing is chasing the moth.
Secondly people are getting sick. People with an allergy are effected the most but even people without an allergy have been getting asthma, diarrhoea, nausea and bleeding noses.
There are other ways to get rid of the painted apple moth (also known as PAM) like ground spraying on low bush areas and around towns. MAF could teach people what to look for and how to get rid of them even by paying kids to collect PAM caterpillars.
So that is why I think there is a better alternative to aerial spraying and why I think it should stop.

BATTERY HEN FARMING
BATTERY HEN FARMING
How many eggs do you eat in a week? Most people like free range eggs, but have you thought about the price? Free range eggs have twice as much fat in them as battery farmed eggs do. Battery hen farms creates a lot of jobs each year. I am here to tell you why I don’t think it is BAD to have battery hen farms!
Battery farmed eggs are a whole lot cheaper than free range eggs. According to the supermarket the cheapest battery farmed egg was 54 cents per 100grams, the cheapest free range egg was 75 cents per 100grams.The most expensive battery hen farmed eggs were 80 cents per 100grams but the free range eggs came in at $1.32 per 100grams. That is a lot cheaper. An average person eats 230 eggs in a year, so would you like to be paying a lot of money for a simple thing we have in our everyday diets?
Do you think about your weight often and love eggs? Well if you eat free range eggs they have way more fat in them compared to battery farm eggs. So if you are weight conscious and don’t have a lot of money try battery farmed eggs. True, people say that free range eggs taste better, but some people did a blind taste test and said that they tasted exactly the same.
There are a lot of battery hen farms around New Zealand in fact 140 farms. That provides a lot of jobs and makes money for the government, which in turn makes the economy stronger. People who work there go home with money in their pockets.
So do you still think battery hen farming is still bad? I don’t! Because the eggs are cheaper and don’t have nearly as much fat in them, as well as creating a lot of jobs in our country.

Battery Hens
Battery Hen Farms
Why do we keep hens in disgusting little cages? It’s like the hens are the crops and the eggs are what they are harvesting. I think that battery hens conditions are extremely cruel. In this essay I’ll tell you why.First of all the battery hens have small uncomfortable cages. The hens have hardly any room with 4-5 hens in a minuscule cage, they only get three quarters of an A4 piece paper to live on. Their feet get sore or broken from standing on fragile wire 24/7.
They pretty much live in poo pits. Poo falls in between the wire bars and catches on metal sheets. It means that they live in ammonia filled air. The ammonia kills them from the inside out. Poor little hens.
Furthermore they NEVER get to see the sun. The farmers use fake sunrises and sunsets. Lastly farmers keep lights on 16 hours in winter so the hens lay and don’t slack.
Although battery hen eggs are cheaper it’s unethical to do that to hens or any other animal.

The Iron Lady vs The Tin Pot Foreign General
No one really lived on the island except some poor shepherds. The shepherds sat there all day counting and killing their sheep. All they ate was mutton.
Just across the ocean a rich king lived in a big palace. This king was no ordinary king he was made entirely out of tin pots. So he decided to do something to make his name last through the ages. He said “I will attack the little island”.
A couple of miles across the ocean lived a rich Iron Lady. When she heard about this she went bonkers. “I bagsied that island first”. “I did!” “I did!” “I did!” The Iron Lady opened her big chest of money. “I want 1,000 boats and fill them up with the best men I have.”
The Tin Pot Foreign General’s ships hit the shore. “I bags this island”. The Iron Lady’s ships hit the shore. “No I bags it!” said the crazy old lady. As the men, the flesh and blood men, were fighting the Iron Lady and the Tin Pot Foreign General had a battle. In the end the Iron Lady bet the Tin Pot Foreign General and won the battle.
The Tin Pot Foreign General and his men fled. “Yes we won! Rejoice!” claimed the Iron Lady “I will return!” bellowed the Tin Pot Foreign General. When all the soldiers left the shepherds returned to their same old routines.
Three shepherds were shot in the battle but no one was to blame. later on at the Iron Lady’s kingdom a big iron box came.
The box contained all the dead bodies that she lost in the war. The Iron Lady gave all the soldiers a special medal and everyone went out to church to celebrate the victory.
After they had a parade for all the soldiers but the men that had body parts missing were excluded from the parade. Some watched in the grand-stand, others stayed at home, others tended the graves.
