Energy and Water Workshop + Bike Rides

Students don't raise hand-use pointer finger
Energy and Water Workshop



Hilarious! 

Kids learning about energy use


We visited the Energy and Water Workshop in Valby.  I was so impressed with the level of education on sustainable development that Denmark's children receive.  The world's population has doubled in the last forty years to 7 billion, and Denmark is passionate about using our resources to the fullest. Copenhagen is working to provide hands-on and valuable activities for children such as traveling down a toilet to learn about the sewage system and the effects on our environment.  Students had electrical grids to formulate what energy sources were available and how they should be used.  Students are gaining such valuable insight on how to protect and preserve our environment at this workshop center.

A great friend and I biked and walked allllll over Copenhagen for about five hours.  I recorded a video (sorry a little jumpy!) so you can see how quiet Copenhagen is during rush hour.




We biked all over Copenhagen!

  1. Definitely more bikes than cars during rush hour. I wonder how many use the public transit system that passed your bike group?
    I'm impressed by the early education of using technology to bring more balance with the environment.
