An announcement from the Pembina Institute: Join teachers and students across Canada in the challenge to double the number of wind turbines by January 2002… Links to great educational resources follow...
You and your students can roll up your sleeves and explore the science of renewable energy by visiting www.re-energy.ca. The site will show you how to construct working models that harness real energy from the sun, wind, water and biomass. You can ignite a flame from manure by building a biogas generator, generate wind power using a reused water bottle, and bake a batch of cookies with a solar oven you build yourself.
Download construction plans, lesson plans, backgrounders, and links to many exciting resources and organizations. An excellent resource for grades 7 through 12 science teachers!
Already over 450 students in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia are turning turbines to make renewable energy. Let’s double the number of turbines by January 2002!
Build… learn… teach… renewable energy!

renewable energy
I do not have anything to ad. The subject is wellknown since decades and it should be in everybody's concern. It is a shame that not more people visit your homepage. It is our planet we live on, our nature we live of, our home, our air we breath and we are literally a part of all. When our earth suffers we suffer, when our earth is sick we are sick too and everything that had been killed in nature kills a part of and in us. As soon as somebody realizes how much we are part of all he or she cannot ignore what is going on and cannot go ahead like during the last decades. But how to make "London" the cleanest city of the world? By everybody cleaning befor ones own door. So I started to clean my own "world" and the next step is by using alternativ energy sources. I am planning to build a new house in Nova Scotia. Of course I will use different ways of renewable energy. Can anybody tell me which companies in Canada (Eastern Canada) offer solar, water and wind energy sources?by Iten Mya on 2002-05-26 03:52:47
Thank you for any hints. Mya
