MY sustainable garden

Hi! Well, I was writing, and had this idea flow, so I am writing it down here:
Hear people of da world, da ideas of Neina-Marie!

If we have chickens, we could use them by selling them, make food with them to sell, or just eat them. To fundraise for upgrading the garden,we could make food and sell it outside the ICT suite. All those apply to vegies and fruit.
We could make:
#scrambled eggs on toast
^Vegetable and egg kebabs, for instance - cucumber, tomato, hard-boiled eggs and so on. Shop bought meats
@Sell them by themselves.
I know it seems a little early, but we could seriously prod people into healthy eating, especially if it is tasty stuff! Some vegetable foods we kids hate, but if you have things prepared by kids, kids might like it.

With the eggs and tomatos and some herbs, we could make tasty ommletes! I feel like I want to be cook (which I would do). We could also bake things.

Love to y'all,

How a lightbulb works - which one???

How a florescent lightbulb works –
A florescent lightbulb is a glass tube that has two electrodes at either end of the tube, a phosphor lining on the inside and mercury gas inside.
Electrons flow through both electrodes, and interact with the mercury atoms floating inside the lightbulb.
This gets the mercury atoms all excited, but when the mercury goes back to its unexcited state, they release ultraviolet photons.
These photons bang into the phosphor lining of the bulb, and the phosphor gives off visible light.

An electrode is an electrical conductor (takes and gives out electricity I suppose) which is used to make contact with a non-metallic (not metal) part of a circuit, such as mercury in a florescent lightbulb.

A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the amazing power of phosphoresce, in which it sustains glowing after being exposed to energized particles, such as ultraviolet photons in a florescent lightbulb.

I wrote this, and I am having trouble figuring out if it is the long tube or the cool new energy-saving lightbulbs. HEEEEELP!

Li-li-library!

I reckon I could not live without a library or bookshop close at hand.
A library is a place where you can take out books with a card, which costs money. You have to return them within a certain date or you have topay money.
I have found lots of things in the library (I used it because I couldn't useour internet, because it was stuffed, but the solution was sew simple.) for my science project, and the lady behind the counter was nice, and said I could have my page of photocopying FREE!
Go to your library. Better than TV. Take public transport, too (our car battery was flat, because my younger brother was playing with the inside light the night before).
