Will the Tietè live or die in agony?

Como Nossa Invenção Limpar Tietê Funcionando.
Nossa invenção pode parecer complicado, mas quando você entende, é muito simples. A água se move de bacia para bacia, porque no meio, a altitude é reduzida
Passo 1: Há um portão que bloquea o lixo grande e alguém recolhe-lo e joga-lo em um caminhão de lixo (1). Em seguida, a água é movido para a primeira bacia, longe do rio.(2)
Passo 2: Na primeira bacia, luzes UV destruir os produtos químicos do rio (3). As luzes UV são alimentados por painéis solares, portanto, não causando poluição do ar. (4)


Passo 3:. Na segunda bacia as boas bactérias são derramadas sobre as bactérias ruins,  as boas  bacterias limpão bactérias ruins, a água fica limpa (5)
Passo 4: o oxigénio do ar é libertado para a água no lado da bacia, porque o tubo é sucção e purificação de ar (6). A bacia tem uma porta que se vai abrindo quando há muita pressão e depois abre, deixando a água para fora. (7)
Passo 5: A água entra em um canal maior (8), onde há outra porta que leva o lixo restante, em um pequeno riacho (9), onde há outros homens que joga-lo em outro caminhão de lixo (10).

Esse projeto é limpa para a terra e limpa o rio de forma eficiente. Nosso projeto oferece empregos para os homens de segurança e de lixo, portanto, aumentando a economi

How Our Invention to Clean Tietê Works.
Our invention may look complicated, but once you understand, it’s very simple. The water can move from basin to basin, because the altitude is reduced after each basin.
Step 1: There is gate that blocks the big trash and  someone takes it and throws it into a trash truck (1). After that, the water moves to the first basin, next to the river.(2)
Step 2: The first basin, UV lights destroy the chemicals in the river (3). The UV lights are powered by solar panels, therefore, not causing pollution in the air. (4)
Step 3:  In the second basin, the good bacteria is poured on bad bacteria, and since good bacteria cleans out bad bacteria, the water is cleaned.(5)
Step 4: Oxygen  from the air is released into the water in the next basin because the tube is sucking and purifying the air (6). The basin has a door that feels when there is too much pressure and then opens, letting the water out.(7)
Step 5: The water goes into a bigger canal, (8)  where there is another gate that takes out remaining trash, into a small stream(9), where there is another trashman who throws it into another trash truck.(10)
This project is clean for the earth and cleans the river efficiently. Our project offers jobs for security and trash men, therefore increasing the economy.

Reflection Paragraph
I liked the Tiete learning process for many different reasons. First I liked that my group had good collaboration and we worked well together. Also I liked that we got to do a conceptual model then after we are prepared we start working on our physical model. I thought that building and making the physical model was very fun. many things worked well in the group, our collaboration and other stuff. I especially was happy and surprised that our model worked and cleaned the water. We had many leaks, luckily we solved that problem in time. If we could change some things in the project I would make the natural filter better. The leaks also delayed us and we would make it with no leaks next time.

Landfill vs Incineration

              Which is better, landfills or incineration? I have been wondering about this question. Incineration and landfills both have pros and cons. How is incineration good? Well incineration turns the trash to ashes, therefore they burn the trash.Incineration woks by having the trash dumped in a trash bunker, which is a pro, then they burn it, this can be good and bad, good because the trash goes away but at the same time it is also bad because as it burns the trash it creates air pollution. incineration can be done quickly and the trash and waste is disposed of easily. Incineration has some cons too, as I have mentioned before it causes pollution by burning the trash it causes pollution. It also can cause pollution in the building of it, they have to put so much effort and it takes such a long time just to build something that burns trash. It also takes up lots of land.

            Meanwhile landfills also have pros and cons, one pro is that when the trash is compacted it creates a sort of gas which can be used to create energy, but at the other hand it also can create pollution which is a con. Another pro is that it does not take a lot of space.Also it can be buried and on top  of the landfill  can be a natural park, which is another pro! There are so cons, it takes a long time to build, and it uses lots of trucks which causes air pollution.
            I think that Landfills are better than Incineration because landfills cause less pollution and also take up  no space. En-top of the landfill can be a national park or a park and leisure place!

TKF reflection Map

In the house Kee- sup and Young- sup have the idea to make the pottery pieces on the line of the dragon kite, which helps them win the Kite Fighting competition. They also study with their tutor there and Kee- sup tells Young- sup about the virtues of Confucius. The father also says that Kee- sup has to flythe kite for the Kite Fighting competition. Kee- sup then persuades his father to let Young- sup fly in the Kite Fighting competition. Young- sup flies the dragon kite, wins and makes his family proud. I think that they interacted a lot in the different settings.

I think the most difficult thing to do in my TKF project was to plan and to organize the writing and the drawings. I think it was difficult because I only had one piece of paper and I had to write five paragraphs and I had to write neatly but my hand writing is a bit messy. In the end I organized it and the project looked very good.
