out with getting power from the sun.

Solar powered fountain - There is no need for a power cord. The fountain
squirts water out of the fountain by placing the panel attached to the
fountain in direct sunlight and attach the cable to the fountain and the
pump will spray the water.
6. Products Cont.
This Solar backpack has a mobile solar power generator attached to it. The
solar panels can generate enough energy from the sun to charge any
GPS, cell phone or iPods and MP3 players. The panels collect sun
energy which then produce electricity and the electricity is used to charge
the devices.
7. Products Cont.
The solar cooker is a safe and easy way to cook food without needing to
burn fuel. The glass traps in the heat and it heats and cooks the food.
10. Sustainability
The Aboriginals were sustainable because
they tried to only use what they needed and
they did not waste. For example if they
killed a bear they would eat the meat, use
the skin for clothes, get money by selling it
and they would also use it for decoration.
11. Sustainability
Today lots of people don't care about our
world and they are not being sustainable.
For example if you have ever seen
someone smoke a cigarette when they
finish it they don't realize that there doing
something wrong and so they throw it on
the ground in stead of throwing it out in the
garbage. In the future we can be
sustainable if we care about the world and
we don't litter.
12. Sustainability
Sustainability is important because if no one
would be sustainable then in the future the
world would be a mess with garbage
everywhere. Also not being sustainable
means wasting and that would also be bad
because if we wasted too much of stuff that
we need then when we really need it the
thing will be gone and then we couldn't have
as much stuff that we need.
13. What is the sun?
The Sun is a big star that produces light and
solar energy. At night the sun shines the light at
the moon. Then the moon reflects the light onto
earth. The sun is over 15 million°c.
14. What is the hottest day of
the year?
The hottest day of the year is July 31 in the
