About the project

The project date is approaching! Here's what the Environment section of the Economics department has lined up:

The concept behind all the models and displays is sustainability, which is a key lesson to learn from the past. There is one display that depicts the theme in a Venn diagram.

1. Self-sustained village with bagasse plant: One still model showing a sugarcane-producing village that has a bagasse plant which uses the waste material of the juice extraction factory to meet the energy needs of the entire village (as well as the factory), and one display about the economic and environmental benefits of such a model.

2. Heliodome: One chart describing this very recent concept that involves using the sun's energy to run homes and industries throughout the winter.

3. Wind energy: One working model and one chart about windmills and traditional methods of harnessing wind power.

4. Lessons from the past to preserve the environment and save money: A sequence of six wall displays that give tips to live an eco-friendly life without spending too much money.

A lot of effort has gone into the preparation of the exhibits an the entire team is very excited!

Go green!
