7. Buy and change to LED light bulbs instead of normal light bulbs.

8. Solar and wind energy are the main sources of green energy.

10. Install solar panels on your roof if you can.

11. Photovoltaic panels are the ones that we see in the solar farms.

1. One wind turbine can power 1500 houses

2.If you have a two story house eight solar panels could power the house.

3. Solar thermal panels could heat up your water faster using less electricity.

4.By 2030 solar energy is expected to power 13% of the world.

5. Airports could make enough solar energy to power a city.

6.There are solar farms in lots of countries like America and France.

We all need to make changes to ensure a healthy, sustainable planet for all. 

There are many advantages to having green energy. 

Solar-thermal panels can heat your water using sunlight rather than burning nasty fossil fuels.

Did you know you could possibly get money from having solar panels? Guess what!? If you pay for solar panels now, in time, they might be producing so much solar energy that you mightn't want to use all of it! So, you could sell your energy to the national grid, and get money!!!

Wind turbines come in many sizes, so if you could afford a small one, it would still generate some nice wind energy!

Book: Climate SOS by Lucinda Jacob worldbookonline.com www.seai.ie www.tippenergy.ie.

We would like to say a special thanks to Niall Pickering of the Tipperary Energy Agency for teaching us about sustainable energy on Google Meets.

Plant a tree in your garden if you have enough space.

Leave a patch in your garden to let dandelions grow

Leave a bit of grass in your garden for insects

Non-renewable energy releases bad CO2 into the air. The more CO2 in the air, the hotter the Earth gets!!!

The national grid is the electricity grid that runs across the country through electricity wires. It powers all of the houses, businesses and schools in Ireland

Renewable Energies: Wind Solar Tidal Geothermal Biomass

Non-renewable Energies: Oil Gas Coal Turf

The world is already 1.5 degrees hotter. It may not seem like much but if it goes above 2.0 degrees we will see serious changes in the weather.

This is a diagram about Greenhouse Gasses

Let the natural light in to reduce heating

Don't use the heating if you don't need it

If you are getting a new house you can get a grant for solar panels

Climate Change is mostly caused by Greenhouse Gases trapping the heat from the sun, causing the earth's temperature to rise. If we do not act soon, future generations will suffer the consequences.

Greenhouse Gases are released into the air by burning fossil fuels.
