Baby trees

This week we went down marshland road and planted some baby trees, with the help of the city council we planted just shy of 600 trees. Me and my buddy planted 14 trees and we had a blast for the few hours we were there. The city council was kind enough to throw us a sausage sizzle. Over all we had a great time and would love to do it again.

Pros                Cons

In “The Curse of Cash”, published on August 16th, Kenneth Rogoff makes the case for gradually getting rid of most paper currency.	It certainly has benefits, he admits, but these are outweighed by the costs associated with its murky side.
The same virtue that provides the ability to pay for a self-indulgent treat or a naughty service without its appearing on bank records or credit-card statements also allows criminals to fund their activities and tax-dodgers to avoid levies.
Let’s say your house get’s set on fire with a jar of 13,00 dollars in it and you don’t have insurance. That is unlikely. According to Mr Rogoff, the bulk of the rich world’s currency supply is used to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities such as human trafficking and financing terrorism	The record $1.4 trillion circulating outside of banks in dollars alone, mostly in high-denomination bills, might suggest that every four-person American family has $13,600 in $100 bills stashed in a jam jar
That is unlikely. According to Mr Rogoff, the bulk of the rich world’s currency supply is used to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities such as human trafficking and financing terrorism Your bank can track your money and no exactly how much you have and it would stop people from committing crime that is listed above
And as shopkeepers and businesses in relatively cash-light countries such as Sweden are discovering, there are other real benefits to preferring electronic payments over cash, including security, lower costs, hygiene and convenience, for both business and customer.

Cell phones in the class room

My reflection on are debate on weather cell phones in the class room.I wasn't there for the speaking but I was there for gathering of information.

A few things that went well where all the good strong points we had on are topic and convincing points to sway the other team.We could of done better on communication and setting up with how we find are information.

I believe that we should have cell phones in the classroom but there should be some rules.I believe this because there are some good apps that can make learning fun, easy and hands on.
