There are a lot of old buildings around Christchurch. A lot of these buildings are very special to the people that live in Christchurch. Demolishing these buildings will get rid of the art on them. You could add things into the building to save energy. It will also save energy for the mean time.

Christchurch is fulled with old buildings. If we were to demolish them it would get rid of most of the art on the buildings. Quite few tourists come to Christchurch to look at all the art and the stories that the display shows. Taking away the buildings with end in less money that is needed for important things like health.  Instead of getting rid of the buildings you could just add some energy efficient things to it.

The Art in Christchurch is very special to the people who live there and the people who want to see it. You could keep the buildings but simply just adding in some energy efficient appliances. For example you could add some Solar panels or some energy efficient heaters. Changing the light bulbs to some that is energy efficient as well. Doing these things might also help with the environment.

Writing

Reptiles are considered a domestic pet in many countries. Reptiles should't be allow as a pet because they need special care, can be a health risk to the owner or anyone how comes into contact with the reptile, and many people don't know how to take care if it.

Like most animals reptiles have a special diet and habitat to suit their needs. As humans we can't understand what they need or why. For example we can only try to recreate a lizards habitat but will miss things that the lizard need. Where as if the lizard was in its natural habitat it would already have most of the things it needs to live. We might also might be scaring that reptile thinking that we are a predator.

Reptiles are very protective of their home.
