Saving energy in changing rooms

Today two handyman came to your school and they put light that will turn on only when somebody enters to changing rooms and automatically will turn off when the changing room will be empty. We are very happy. Specially during weekends lights sometimes are on in a empty room for several hours.
So let´s continue to save energy!

Earth Hour

This year we took part in Earth Hour again. On 31. of January we switched all the lights for an hour to save energy. Kirsi talked to the pupils in loud speaker on Friday to remind pupils about this and we sent email to parents. Our hometown, our school and many homes was involved with this action.

Seminar in Heraklion

There was the final seminar of this 50/50 project in Heraklion. Marita took part in that. It was great to hear acts and feelings in other 50/50 schools all over the Europe. We also visited Knossos and learned about it´s history.
Thank you!

Happy End!

We are now about to finish our project. But we will of course continue to save energy in future too. We managed to save electricity and water during last year in our project but heating didn´t go to well.
We got 50% of the money that we saved to our school and with that money we made a excursion to Pori and visited an egologigal swimming hall. We really enjoid the trip. On 15th of March we had the final seminar here in Vaasa University. We told about our project there and in the end of the day, we saw Motoriikka Miika. He is an actor and he had his funny show.
Next week Marita Reinikka will travell to Crece to take part in the international seminar of this project.
I think we will not write more to this blog but it´s great to read and remember how much we have done during these years and as I said; we will continue saving energy!

Best wishes Kirsi Autio and Marita Reinikka
