               Objective 5:          Discuss different aspects of sustainable energy.



                                                  Read to Learn!


               The  concept  of  energy                                        sustainability incorporates the

               analysis       of        the                                    environmental      dimension,

               which  is  focus  of  this                                      Manual; as such, three critical
               aspects    are    discussed:                                    renewable  energy,  energy

               efficiency    and    energy                                     conservation.      It     was

               mentioned     earlier   that                                    sustainable            energy

               emphasizes           energy                                     efficiency   and     use    of
               renewable sources.   In each case, measures must be taken to avoid or reduce any negative

               environmental  consequences  and  optimise  the  positive  ones,  for  example,  through  energy

               conservation.



                                             ACTIVITY: ENERGY DETECTIVE
















                                   All participants (Energy Detectives) will be required to

                                 examine their environment (home or school), and identify
                                       and justify the promotion of renewable energy,

                                 energy efficiency and energy conservation and their impact

                                  on the environment.  The Energy Detectives will present
                                   their findings using a presentation tool of their choice.
