When it's sunshine outside then I turn my lamps off.
When I´m not playing computer then I pull out the electrical cord.

I let my hair air dry and do not use the hairdryer, that saves energy

This is a soap made in Sweden and that means that it doesn´t come from another country and released pollution when it traveled to Sweden


This is my cellphone and I've taken out the cellphone charger from the electrical outlet

Our country is full of wild animals, but tourists usually only hear about the well know ones like lion, giraffe, rhino, elephants, cheetah and leopards. Although these animals are beautiful they are not the only ones we have. So we thought it would be a good idea to research other animals and present projects on them. Then the children at Vibyskolan can learn about our huge variety of animals. We have seen most of these animals, except the ones that are really shy, in game parks. As you know we don't have wild animals just walking all over!
We are looking forward to learning more about the animals of Sweden as we don't know much about them at all.
Watch this space we are working hard on them.

We have our compost in an ecological pouch.

I pull out my camera chargers so I save electricity.

In my family we bought ecological yoghurt.

Iceland ashes in Sweden

Hallo Cornwall Hill!

This is how it looked; clouds of ashes from the volcano in the air. It was sunny but suddenly black hail fell down from the sky. My eyes hurt and my hands were full of ashes, it stopped hailing after about 20 minutes.

Niklas in our class put a white plate in his garden to see if it would turn black during the night of the ash, and it did!

My family are taking our bikes very often instead of taking the car.
I bought bananas and took the bike instead of taking the car.

Our family wash our clothes when we our washing machine is full.


We have a cover over our pool so the heat stay in the water.



We hanging up our clothes instead of have them in the drying cabinet.



We have a stonegrill instead of having a gasgrill.

We sort are scrap in diffrent piles because it´s better for the environment.


My footballteam have old balls so we give them one another team instead of dump them.

I pull out the contact and save energy, and then I put it in my nose and make more environment friendly power.

Our family bought ecological lemons instead of poisoned lemons!
