Lynx

The lynx is very shy, but it's a pretty common animal in Sweden.

It looks like a big cat, but the lynx has got tufts on their ears.

It doesn't happen that often that a human meet a lynx.

The lynx fur is beige with brown spots, and on the stomach it's white.

The lynx tail is short and it's black.

It often lives in our mountain/forest regions.

On the winter the lynx eats rabbits and roedeers, and on the summer it eats birds and small rodents.

Because of their tufts on their ears, they can hear better. They have the best hearing of all cat-animals.

Rebecca

Instead of taking standby-mode I turn off the DVD-player.

Instead of taking a bath I take a short shower, that saves a lot of water.

In my family we have a sailboat, and that's better for the environment instead of a motorboat.

When I and my friends are going somewhere we often take the bike instead of the car, and if we are going to go shopping we are taking the bus instead of the car which is better for the environment.

At Skansen you can find different kind of waste-bins like: plastic waste, battery waste and more. On this picture; Carolina throws some paper.

Carolina:

My family have done much for the environment this year, we have remade our kitchen so now we only have things thats good for the environment.

On the picture there is ecological milk.

We have also replaced all our lamps with low energy lamps.

Before I leave for school I am turning off all the lamps and try to put out as many electrical things a possible.

I'm always trying to walk to school but it's not always that easy because i often hit the snooze button.

I always take out the thrash so that we wont have a pile of thrash at home.
