7. RENEWABLE ENERGY
There are some ways to make electricity without burning
fossil fuels. We are surrounded by natural sources of
energy, such as the sun and the earth‛s winds and waters.
For hundreds of years man has been using these sources of
energy to power different types of machinery....
By using the wind to turn a windmill...
... or using water to
turn a water wheel.
ENERGY SAVING
8. RENEWABLE ENERGY
Today we can harness energy from the sun, wind, water
and the natural heat of the earth to produce electricity
with very little harm to our environment. These forms of
energy are renewable, which means that they will never
run out. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas will eventually
run out, they are called non-renewable
Non-renewable energy Renewable energy
Coal Wind power
Oil Water power
Gas Solar power
Peat Geothermal power

11. Our students prepared a
questionnaire about energy
Our students
asked their
families and
teachers.
12. The result
50 % of them wash the dishes by hand.
All of them use energy saving bulbs.
80 % of them use energy saving electronic
machines.
70 % of them live in insulated houses.
None of them leave electrical appliances on
standby.
4 % of them have a tumble dryer at home.
70 % of them make use of solar energy.
13. SOLAR GARDEN LIGHTS
There are a number of different solar
powered lights available at the
moment for use in the garden. These
lights are highly energy efficient and
convenient as do not require
external extension leads or special
electric fittings. These lights contain
solar cells which convert the suns
energy into electricity. They charge
up during the daylight and light up
as it gets dark. They are not usually
hugely bright but are less intrusive
than electric lights and look nice in
the flowerbeds.
14. ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Don’t Leave Electrical Appliances on Standby.
Many of us with use the remote to switch off the
TV or stereo, leaving the appliance running on
standby. This actually means the appliance is still
using up electricity and wastes a considerable
amount of energy. By switching off at the main
power button, or even the socket, you could be
saving both energy and money.
Don't leave on your computer, TVs, radios or
games that use electricity when you're not
using them.
15. ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Lighting
In most homes, about 10-15% of the electricity bill
is for lighting so energy saving light bulbs can cut
your costs considerably. Traditional bulbs waste a
lot of energy by turning it into heat but energy
saving bulbs work in the same way as fluorescent
lights, the tubes coating glows brightly as an
electric current passed through gas in the tube.
Always turn the lights off when you leave a room!
16. ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Batteries
Turn off the toys and games that use batteries
when you are not playing with them. That will
makes the batteries last longer, and you won't
need as many or charge them as often.
Heating
Open your blinds or curtains on sunny winter
days to let the sun shine into your home.
17. ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Don’t keep your refrigerator door
open for long time periods!
Take shorter showers
Another simple way to save water AND
energy is to take shorter showers. You'll
use less hot water - and water heaters
account for nearly 1/4 of your home's
energy use.
Fix a dripping tap
A dripping tap can be not only
annoying but if it is a hot tap it can
cost you in both water costs and
water heating costs.

‘Eco friendly products’ and
‘Energy saving’ and delivered

19. Water Saving Tips in the Home
Check for home for leaks,
hidden water leaks can be
wasting water without you even
being aware of it.
A good way to check for leaks
is, if your property is metered,
then read your water meter
and do not use any water for a
couple of hours and go back to
check that the meter reads
exactly the same. If it does not,
there is a leak.
WATER POLLUTION
20. Water Saving Tips in the Home
Turn off tap while cleaning your
teeth, shaving or washing your face.
You can waste up to 9 liters a
minute by just letting the water pour
down the sink.
Take a short shower rather than a
bath could save you up to 400 liters
a week. If you do have baths, just
half fill them.
WATER POLLUTION
21. Water Saving Tips in the Home
Fix any dripping tap, you can
waste 90 liters a week which will
cost a lot more than what might
just be the price of a new washer.
Only use the washing machine and
the dishwasher when you can put
on a full load. It wastes both water
and energy to run only a half full
machine.
WATER POLLUTION
22. What is water pollution?
Water pollution is the contamination of water
bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and
groundwater), very often by human activities.
Water covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface. It
is a very important resource for people and the
environment.
Water pollution affects drinking water, rivers,
lakes and oceans all over the world. In many
developing countries, it is usually a leading
cause of death, by people drinking from
polluted water sources.
WATER POLLUTION
23. Effects of water pollution
Death of aquatic (water) animals
Dead fish, crabs, birds and sea gulls, dolphins, and many
other animals often wind up on beaches, killed by
pollutants in their habitat (living environment).
Disruption of food-chains
WATER POLLUTION
24. Effects of water pollution
Diseases
Eventually, humans are affected by this process as well.
People can get diseases such as hepatitis by eating
seafood that has been poisoned. In many poor nations,
there is always outbreak of cholera and diseases as a
result of poor drinking water treatment from
contaminated waters

32. BENEFITS OF TREES
Produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.
Moderate temperature and rainfall.
Provide food, medicine, shelter and warmth
Support biodiversity
DEFORESTATION
36. Forest facts
*That’s a lot of fresh air! On average, a broad-
leafed tree will absorb about 10 kg of CO2 per
year.
* Willow away the pain! The active ingredient in
acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) originally came
from the bark of a willow tree.
* Trees are like natural air conditioners.
DEFORESTATION
37. What can we do?
Planting trees is an easy way to help.
We can also live in a way that creates
zero waste at school, home and in our
everyday lives.
"Reduce, Reuse,
and Recycle!
DEFORESTATION
38. What can we do?
When we recycle products like paper, (after we
can no longer use and reuse them) we prevent
new trees from being cut down.
When we reduce the amount of energy we
consume in our homes by switching off
electrical appliances that we aren’t using (such
as, lights, TV, radio, computer), or when we walk
or bike instead of taking the car, we use less
fossil fuels.Using fossil fuels creates air pollution,
which can result in acid rain. If we reduce the
amount of fossil fuels that we use, we can help
save some forests from being damaged by acid
rain.
