the exucrsion to st leonards was on the 18th of march -wind turbines were used to save money and produce energy (aircon) -thermal chimneys -solar to preserve energy and keep their energy bill down -doesnt just save energy and water but also saves money which can be used on better things for school -has many unique techniques to be sustainable: recylcing paper, turnining lights off after classes,no textbooks or computersm efficant light bulbs. -plants and trees planted -animals are fed with food scraps

I learnt there are alot of ways to save energy and water. You can apply alot of solar saving square on your roof.And that you can use rain water and recycle scraps and many other things. They recycled everything plastic they had. The food scraps were all collected and made into compost. Organic food is also made and sold from a few metres. They used alot of recycled wood and made it as timber.

It made me have connections with Japan school's sustainability because of how the water being saved and the solar saving.

As a school we could save water by putting buckets in the sinks when your washing your hands or having a drink. that water could be used for watering the gardens. Put all rubbish in the bin. The right rubbish and recycle rubbish into the right bins. We should consider to buy recycled items for the school, as it would be saving money and also doing the environment a favor.
