                         farms use the wind to
         make energy. This energy turns into

                           the sun for water heating, but we can
                           also make electricity with the sun’s       •  More things I can do to save energy:

         natural materials like wood and                              •  What we do to save energy:
         stone, so they are good for the
         planet. We can even grow plants on
         buildings. They look nice and the
         rooms inside stay warm in winter                             •  More things we can do to save energy:
         and cool in summer. That means
         that we use less coal, oil and
