1. Upload your project on moodle.
2. If this does not work you must see me tomorrow so I can help you.
Here is a guide to help you:
Level 4 Sustainability Proposal will:
-Include a very detailed rational (set of reasons) why the sustainable building is necessary. The building has a purpose that will help a community, family, etc.. The rationale is logical and includes some real life problems that are being faced.
-Include several eco-friendly features in your building that make it sustainable. The features are explained very well.
-Include several images/charts/diagrams for each of your features that go with your proposal or you have completed a model
-Include a rough cost of your house and the savings you will come with having the features. You clearly show savings.
-You have sited all of your sources used. It is easy for your teacher to find where you quoted information from. You have posted to moodle and have little to no similarity.
-Fits the idea of a proposal (if you included the items above you should be okay) and is professional. Remember you are competing to get permission to build these structures. Spelling, grammar, layout, etc... should be taken into consideration. Intro, body, conclusion should be present somehow. For example, your intro might be your rationale, body may be the eco-friendly features, cost, images, and the conclusion will summarize what you have told me.
If you want to copy images from homestyler you can either sign up for an account, OR take a screen shot (alt + print screen) and paste it into paint. Then you can crop what you need.
Good luck.

Cities Revealed
By Kabita Maharana
By 2050, more than 6 billion people will live in urban areas.wikipedia
The urban population of the world has grown rapidly in recent years and more than half the population now lives in urban areas across the world. The urban population has increased from 746 million in 1950 to 3.9 billion in 2014.
According to a report released by the United Nations, 54% of the world's population lives in cities and the number is expected to surpass 66% by 2050.
The report also notes that India, China and Nigeria will account for 37% of the world's urban population.
The UN report predicts that by 2050 India will top the chart with 404 million urban inhabitants while China will come second with 292 million city population and Nigeria will be the third with 212 million urban dwellers.
Here is the list of world's most populated cities as reported by the UN.
1. Tokyo, Japan : Tokyo tops the list and remains the world's largest city with 38 million dwellers.
Though the UN has predicted a decline in the city's population, it will still remain the world's most populous city in 2030 with 37 million inhabitants.
2. Delhi, India: With 25 million, the Indian capital is the second-most populated city in the world. The UN has projected that the population can swiftly rise to 36 million in 2030.
3. Mexico City, Mumbai and São Paulo: Each of these cities is ranked third on the population index with around 21 million urban inhabitants.
4. Osaka, Japan: This Japanese city has population just above 20 million and is ranked fourth.
5. Beijing, China: The Chinese capital is fifth in the UN urban population chart with just below 20 million city dwellers.
6. New York-Newark area and Cairo: These two cities complete the chart for the top ten most populous urban areas with around 18.5 million dwellers each.

1. Complete your consumption sheet. Labels were :self, home/shelter, vehicles. You were to list your basic needs, what you use in your home that you needed/made you comfortable, then the amount of vehicles you had. Next you had to list the waste each item produced, and lastly, what you could to do reduce that waste.
Finally, there were 3 questions to answer.
1. Do you see a problem with the way you (and us as humans) are consuming the earth's resources?
2. What responsibility do you/your family have in terms of living in a more sustainable fashion?
3. What are your hopes of the future in terms of reducing your/the world's consumption?
