Sustainability is about creating environmentally friendly solutions to the problems we are facing today, such as lack of alternative energysources, global pollution which results in drough and starvation to mention a few. These solutions are importatnt for our children in order for them to continue to live on a nice planet. It is important to teach schoolkids about the problems we are facing, and that we have an opportunity to influence our future society.
In class we did an experiment on how much energy it takes to boil a liter of water. We boiled 1 l. water in a coffemachine, a pan, and in a normal waterboiler. The waterboiler was the one that used the least amount of energy to boil a liter of water.
Beside knowing about the issue it is also important to know about how you can take action and hence have a say in the decision on what we choose to use as energysources in the future
