• Find four or more alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. Put them in order. Which are best suited to the country you live in? Other sources of alternative energy are hydroelectric energy, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, biomass, tidal/ocean energy, solar energy and wind energy. In Spain I know that is used the solar energy and in the last year the wind energy. I show wind towers in my last travel to Soria in July, also when last September I travelled to Granada, I show the Nuclear Central Building close to the Delta of the Ebre.
• Does recycling really save energy and resources? I think so, and I try to recycle all my waste. I separate and recycle glass, paper and organic fraction.
• Find out about one current campaign of Greenpeace. The current campaigns of Greenpeace are, stop climate change, protect ancient forests, defending our Oceans, say no to genetic engineering, eliminate toxic chemicals, Demand peace and disarmament, end the nuclear age, and encourage sustainable trade.
• What other environmental organisations are there? What do they do? I know one little environmental organisation in Catalonia, it is an association named “salvem Castell”. It has ten years old, and this goal is help to preserve one of the virgin beaches in the brave coast in Girona. Now, this beach is a Natural Park of Castle.
