• Environmental Education- Sustainable Water Use Activities

  2006-04-25 21:35:43 UTC

  Hi All,
  
  Our Council is running a Garden Show later in the year with the main theme of sustainable water use. I am currently looking for ideas about an interactive display for kids which shows the messages of
  
  *sustainable water use
  *the water cycle
  *where the water goes once it goes down the sink etc
  
  Any ideas or pictures would be great. We would like it to be as interactive as possible put to really carry the environmental education theme.
  
  Looking forward to any replies.

  Hi All,
  
  I am keen to find examples of how to display the life cycle of recyclable materials for our recycling station. Does anyone have any pictures or successful displays which they could email through.
  
  Thanks,

• Hybrid Vehicle vs Conventional Vehicles- Savings Calculator

  2005-10-12 17:02:41 UTC

  Good Morning all,
  
  I am currently looking at the feasibility of introducing more hybrid vehicles to the Council vehicle fleet. I am taking into account- cost and fuel savings, GHG emission reduction, purpose of the Council vehicle and if there is a suitable hybrid substitute. I have found some useful hybrid fuel savings calculators on the internet http://www.hybridexperience.ca/Hybrid_Savings_Calculator.htm http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10845_7-6212348-1.html http://www.eere.energy.gov/cleancities/hev/calculator/fleet.php These calculators are mainly from the Northern Hemisphere. I would like to find a calculator specific to New Zealand or at least common NZ vehicles and a calculator in kilometres and litres. Does anyone know of a suitable calculator? Also- Im am also looking at biodiesel too, so any comments regarding vehicle fleet management and renewable energy would be great.
  
  Thanks,
