Today we started with a fun activity to indicate our carbon footprint; we took steps forwards or backwards according to our day to day activities. Drive to school? Take 3 steps forward. Compost at home? Take 2 steps back. We learnt that we can all make everyday choices that will reduce our environmental impact. Hopefully humans can balance our carbon in our lifetime. 🤞🌱🌏
Next we learnt about the Greenhouse Effect. We put our learning into practice by becoming town planners fo the hypothetical town of Boulderville. They needed a new low impact energy source. We researched other towns to see which solution would work best and put forward a proposal.
⚡️From our discussion Aston wondered if we could create perpetual motion turbines to avoid burning stuff. Future Elon Musk!!
Have you heard about the new bioenergy initiative in Auckland and solar farms going into the Waikato. It's great to see our learning in action for a sustainable world!
