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.

You can give your old things away to friends or make new things, so the clothes reuses. Here are some things we have done for our environment. Hope you learn something!

My family joined Earth hour. Earth hour is good for the environment because your saving a lot of energy. This is a picture from Earth hour.

I drink ecological milk when I eat dinner. This a picture of ecological milk.

I have given my clothes away to save on the earth resources.

You can take the bus instead of the car, because the pollution is less then when you use your car.

I have put my furniture away from the radiator, so the heat spreads better.

I made a cloth of my old shirt that I was about to throw away. That way I dont have to buy a new one, and that saves on the worlds resource. This was before...

And this was after...

If you pull down your curtain when your going to sleep, then you´re saving energy. The heat will stay in your room, and then it doesn´t use so much energy.

In my district we sort our junk. Its good for the environment.
