Boyan Slat & The Ocean Cleanup -- Usa Yamagami

Mr. Boyan Slat was surprised by the amount of plastic waste when he went diving, a hobby of his. He became aware of the dangers of plastic waste and, although he was still a minor, he decided to actively conduct an experiment to solve the problem. What I find amazing about him is that he was willing to try experiments even though they were not subsidized by the government.
He continues to work with Ocean Cleanup today.
His plastic waste collection operation can separate the trash from the fish and plankton and collect only the trash on a large scale. On top of that, he uses fuels that reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and other aspects besides trash that do not pollute the marine environment, which I thought was amazing.
I believe that his ability to take action to improve the situation as soon as he realized that it was not good led to the current results, rather than adults who realized that it was not good and did not take action.

    His attitude to solving problems is so great that we should evaluate him more.

    He thinks all of things about environment, and he will be a famous pioneer who would contribute this problem.

    The Nike logo applies to Slat doesn't it -"Just do it." Do what you can now and work on doing more tomorrow. Perhaps that is the way to proceed. If we live this way, we'll be able to overcome our own self interest and apathy one day at a time.

About Me -- Yugo Konno

  My name is Yugo Konno.  I am from Tokyo and 20 years old now. I am living  with the White family in St. Clair. My impression of Dunedin is that there are many spectacular sceneries and kind people. My favorite subject in high school was world history. I took this course to improve my writing and listening English skills. I like cycling because it makes me so excited. What I dislike is having a part-time job because it’s so boring. My only one advantage is that once I start something, I never stop in the middle. One of my disadvantages is that when I am engaged in something, I am often unable to see anything else around me.

       Hello. My name is Usa Yamagami . Please call me Usa. I am 20 years old now. I live in Belleknowes , Dunedin with Barbara and Kelvin, and their son, Phoenix. As soon as I arrived, I thought it was very cold! And I envy New Zealanders because they have a lot of lands. I came from Osaka, Japan, and it is cramped with a lot of buildings. In fact, when I was in high school, Japanese was my favorite of all subjects. Because I like Japanese novels and comics. However, I wanted to try to read Japanese manga in English, so I decided to study English hard. My hobby is listening to music, watching a movie, reading books, and talking to people. Lately, I have been into ''Murder Mystery''. I have made many friends on Twitter who share the same interests. If you don't know about it, please check it out. I don’t like cooking and cleaning, so I think I can’t live alone! 😂   My good point is that I have self-paced, and I think my bad point is also self-paced. Finally, I ...

About me -- Shiho Matsuura

  Hello, class! I’m Shiho and from Japan. Also, I’m 19 years old and now live in Kaikorai with Hilary who is my host mother. I have impressed a nature, a view from my home and a wood stove. I like Dunedin because there’s no high buildings and Dunedin is a beautiful streetscape. Sometimes, I miss Japan and soaking in the bathwater. My favorite subject was Japanese because I like classic so in Japanese classes I could read Japanese classic literature. I chose this course because I want to improve my English enough to discuss difficult problems. Also, my hobby is dance and I love music. For example, I often listen to rhythm and blue and also my host mother likes music so we sometimes listen it together. I’m good at finding nice teas so If anyone want to know delicious teas, let me know! On the other hand, I’m hopeless at waking up early morning so 1 st class that start 9 am is a little hard for me. In conclusion, my goal is improving my English and become a person who understand ...
