Nature Walk

The nature walk was fun. I personaly learnt that i can't touch the one grapes looking things. My kid learnt about the outdoors and looked at the difrent types of trees. He was also excited about looking at the grasshopers.
 The water progect connects with our Wind Turbine progect because the heat reflected off of the water can create stronger winds, by warming up the air.
Im part of the wind turbine group.
Our group is waiting for the turbine to arive.
 I am to do most of the work and to come up with stuff for questions like this.

This site is good for me because it is very easy to use. I think that this would be a good site for younger children because it is very easy to use and shows you how many earths would be used.
My footprint is 136.6 tons of carbon.
Three ways i can reduce my carbon footprint is to take a shorter shower. I can also ride the buss or walk more instead of getting rides all the time. I could also look into buying more organically made clothing.
Three ways to reduce the schools carbon footprint is by asking that more environmentally sufficent lighting be used. I could ask that the school to use organic food for lunch. Finally i could also ask that the school set up a budget for renewable energy resources, like solar panels.
This connects to my project because mine is the one that is involved with the wind-turbine. This connects because the school is investing in renewable energy and that is one of my ideas for how to lower the schools carbon footprint. I feel like that we should take care of the world and use the amount of resources available to make sure that the world is secured and sustainable for future generations.
