Take a look at the video that the Tuesday night troop produced on energy saving.

Take a look at the following link for lots of energy saving tips. http://www.think-energy.com/

1.      Over a week, make a list of everything that your family throws away. Highlight items which could have been re-used or recycled.

2.      Find out about local facilities for recycling (cans, bottles, newspapers etc.) and encourage your family and friends to use them.

3.      Find out how families can save energy in their homes.

4.      Use an original and eye-catching method to inform others about the importance of saving energy and resources. For example, you could design a poster or collage, produce a photographic display or a short video, compose a song or poem or make a model out of recycled material.

5.      Look for and record evidence of wildlife in your garden or a local park.

6.      Be aware of some of the effects gardeners can have on local wildlife, e.g. using chemicals to kill pests and find out about alternatives.

7.      Find out about a local group or organisation which works for conservation.

8.      With others, follow a nature trail (there may be one at your local camp site), visit a country park or take part in a local conservation project.
