 =Sustainability=

We are looking at energy, electricity, power in relation to sustainability. This means we want to know... - what the issues are with power and its sources, and how they affect the earth we live on. In particular we want to focus on New Zealand. What power do we have here? What effects do they have on our country? We want to know what the best alternative source is for New Zealanders and how it relates to us in Karangahake School. What do WE need to do in order to save or conserve our energy use at home and at school?
