The Solaris Centre

We went to the Solaris Centre this Thursday :
We learnt that "if everybody in the UK switches their TV off from the mains they could be able to close a nuclear plant for a year" that's a whole lot of energy wasted !
In the solaris centre they use alot of different ways to use less energy so possible,
- in the solaris centre the would use solar panels that give out 18 kw's hours,
- they have underfloor heating,
- also they have double grazing,
- they collect rain water and use it to flush the loo's,
- they had two wind turbines that conduct electric all around the centre,
- the roof was make up a old car tyres ,
- and the building was made by the foundations of the old building,
- the also have masonry cavity wall insulation

random fact; "1 gallon of diesel releases 13 kilos of carbon dioxide which is the same as 2stone of rice"

Is Global Warming real?

On Tuesday,11th November, we had Dr. Rob Mckenzie from Lancaster University visiting our eco team. We got the opportunity to learn some interesting facts about global warming and climate change. Here is a brief summary of the lecture.
Our earth is an intricate system where a small effect can have a big impact. Thus the emissions from our cars when we drive to college or the electricity being used by our TV when on standby, might seem small, but they build up to add to the gruesome effects of global warming. Global Warming is the name given to the gradual warming up of the earth which has been quickened by the emission of greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide. Climate change is the change in climatic conditions observed worldwide due to this global warming. Rob showed us shocking statistics which provide evidence for the inevitable threat on our planet earth. The professor also had an answer to those who dismiss these things by saying that global warming doesn't exist. They should probably ponder over the "credit crunch", who knew that it would happen , but it did.. Similarly, there is truth behind global warming and climate change... Thus instead of debating over its existence , we should work together to make our world a greener and happier place!!!!!

Eco Code Developments!

Here is our Eco Code for the College that we made to help everyone do their part to make College more sustainable:

''We, the students and staff of The Blackpool Sixth Form College will show our respect for the environment and for the future of our world by:

1) Reducing waste of all kinds to the minimum.

2) Helping to keep the College clean and free from litter.

3) Only printing when really necessary.

4) Using the recycling facilities fully and properly.

5) Switching off lights when they are not needed.

6) Switching off computers and other devices when not in use.

7) Walking, cycling, taking public transport or car-sharing when possible.

8) Taking an interest in our local, national and global environment and helping to protect it for generations to come.''

We sent this in an email to all students in the College and they said that would try to do the actions and asked for more recycling bins around the College and clearer information so recycling would be easier. We also met with the Principal, Felicity Greeves who approved of the Code and said that she would like to spread the Code amongst the staff of the College.
