Many articles believe that bricks are not sustainble and are bad for the environment, however there is a way to make bricks eco friendly.

Eco friendly Bricks: People can make ecofriendly bricks by putting old glass and cans into the mud and mixing it together to make a brick. This is being reusable and also keeps your house cool, people can also make the bricks look nice by decorating them with coloured glass and cans. Another way to make eco friendly mud bricks: []

Week 2:

In week 2 we started to do our diagram and name all of the rooms, we cooperated really well, and we also found it interesting and fun. Here at the Museum of Australian History, we have many things to share and to look at, including lots of history in Australia's past, such as the sporting history, our art history, how our country fought in the war, the first fleet, and how the aborigines lived and survived back in the day. Not only do we have lots of history rooms, but we do also have a cafe called the Aussie Cafe, that opens at 12pm to 4pm, our playground is open to opening and closing time, we also have a gift shop which is also 12pm to 4pm, we have a picnic area for opening and closing time, and we also have toilet facilities. Parking is $10 for 3 hours, and $20 for 3+ hours. Our museum is open every day of the week, and in holidays we open from 9am till 5pm, and normal time is 10am till 5pm. For our materials we used cardboard for the walls, bubble wrap for the playground to make it save, along with green cardboard for the grass and we used the black cardboard for the ground inside and also egg cartons for roofs. For the roof of the building we used a big piece of cardboard. Not only do we have a lot of great facilities, but we also keep our museum sustainable with solar panels, a green house, water tanks, shelter, environmentally friendly gifts, and lots of plants in the outside area. We have these facilities to be more sustainable for the environment. We have solar panels because solar panels make electricity from the sun and it provides electricity for the whole building instead of using electricity from power lines and this means we save electricity. We have water tanks so we can save water and use rain water instead and we have a cleaning system to make it drinkable. Another reason we have water tanks is so we save water from dams and water supplies in Australia don't run out. We also used recycled bricks instead of making new ones and it is good because we are not using anymore recourses and all we had to do is re shape them.

Question 1: How do you follow the message to other people to keep the area around them sustainable?

Every Saturday, we bring professional speakers to come in and to talk to people who want to take a lesson on how to keep the world sustainable, it is a great thing for everyone, and will teach them how to save the planet this lesson starts,

Question 2: Why did you choose to make a sustainable museum?

We chose to build a sustainable museum because everyone is using to much electricity, water and other things we decided to build a sustainable museum that's good for the environment and for the people to learn more things.
