Energy Activity 3: Energy Saving Pledges
How and where is energy used in your home? The more energy we use, the more greenhouse gases are created contributing to climate change. How can we save energy?
Iceworld
The Iceworld imagines a future where the gulf stream has shifted due to climate change, leaving Scotland as a frozen wasteland. The smallest improvement in the rate of climate change today could help, so the more energy we can individually save the better! We have a whole host of activities to help you learn about cold and icy environments, the little ice age in Europe and how to measure and reduce your energy use today to help improve the future.
