• What are biomes?
  Biomes are  regions of the world with similar climate (weather, temperature) animals and  plants. There are terrestrial biomes (land) and aquatic biomes, both freshwater and marine.

  • You can work Biomas with your Geography teacher.
    You have to choose one of them and explain your mates about it

• • Partially turfed roof.  
  • Timber clad walls rendered with lime.  
  • Cedar cladding.  
  • Timber frames with straw (barley) bale infill, which is clad with  translucent polycarbonate in some areas so it can be seen externally.  
  • Exterior sandbag cladding.  
  • Window casement formed from old railway sleepers found on site.  
  • Recycled concrete support pillars.
• For example, the appearance of the exterior sandbag cladding on part of the  build resembles a duvet. The sandbags contain a mixture of sand, cement and  lime. It is anticipated that the hessian sandbags will eventually rot away to  leave a wall of rippling, uneven concrete with a cloth imprint.

• Climate policy must focus on the rapid deployment of existing  clean technologies on large scales, such as the installation of 1 million  2-megawatt wind turbines.

  • What clean technologies do you know?

• The goal of climate mitigation is to avoid dangerous human-caused impacts, which  science suggests would mean limiting total warming to 2 °C above preindustrial  temperatures. In turn, this would require keeping atmospheric concentrations of  carbon dioxide below 450 parts per million

  • Ask your science teacher, how to reduce carbon in the atmosphere.
