Questions

1. Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle 2. Sun panels buildings built primarily with wood will have a lower embodied energy than those built primarily with brick, concrete or steel Press tap Power saver light Bulbs skylight Conclusion: so to conclude you you can say that st Albans College is a green environment to an extent. There are green features in this school but to find them you do need a prior knowledge of green design, and you need to look specifically for these features. But the un-green features outnumber the green features by a large amount.

Un-green buildings in St Albans

1. Classroom aircon/heater: this is un-green as it provides pollution, it uses water, a solution would be to us better insulators when building buildings such as thatch and wood.

2. Very unefficient electric pool heaters, They are not green because of the amount of electricity used and there is pollution caused, a solution to this problem is to just use pool covers or solar panel heaters.

3. A leaking pipe: This is very un-green which is wasting a very precious non-renewable resource. A solution to this is to use better pipes and to fix this very quickly.

4. A very un-green design as there are eight switch operated fluorescent lights in close proximaty. They are all on even though it is broad daylight. This is a huge waste of energy. This has a simple solution replace these lights with power saver or motion sensor lights or even just having less lights.

Green Buildings in St Albans

1. Sky light: this is green because it cancels out all electricity entirely, because it uses the suns power and light, A downside to this is that it does not work at night.

2. Motion sensor lights: these lights are power saving lights, if someone is walking into a room the motion sensor will pick them up and then it will automatically switch off, when there is no motion. It does not waste power. The light bulbs also last a lot longer.

3. Push tap: A more environmentaly friendly tap as it does not waste water, because as you leave it closes automatically, you cannot forget to close it. It cannot leak as easily as a turn tap.

4. Reservoirs and Astros: The reservoirs pump water onto the astro, the water runs through the astro and runs back into the reservoirs. This works on the concept of recycling which is very green. if the astro had just let the water run out.

5. Thatch roof: This saves a lot of money, thatch is a very good insulator so no aircons or heaters are needed. There is much less energy used in this procees of making thatch roofs.

6. Wood Hut: this hut is made up of wood, (wood is a renewable resource) it is a very good insulator, and provides less pollution. The procces of using making bricks it uses a lot more energy. As well as more materials and manpower.

Earth Summit

1. The Earth Summit is the UN conference on Development and the environment. 2. The United Nations organised the Earth Summit. 3. The first Earth Summit was held in 1992. 4. It was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 5. Rio de Janeiro, 2012. 6. It is a United Nations conference held to discuss environmental, development and energy issues. 7. Future development must be sustainable. Development must be eco-friendly. Countries need to work together to protect the earth’s eco-system. 8. If left unchecked, the population of the world will use up natural resources in a non-sustainable way. By having these conferences, the countries of the world are better able to map out the consumption of resources on a global scale and respond accordingly in order to make sure that the consumption is as sustainable as possible. 9. To an extent. 10 years after the conference, the goals hadn’t yet been met and the efforts had to be re-doubled. 10. The conference encompasses plans for sustainable development.

Activity 8

Activity 8:

1.       African Nationalism was when the European countries gave the African colonies their independence due to international pressure and the great depression.

2.        ANC -1912, National Congress of West Africa 1920, aborigonies rights protection society 1977.

3.       Pan-Africanism is an act in which the Africa continent would like to unify all Africans and make it a “one African community” it also stands for the liberation and freedom of African people.

It also portrays how he won the war for America, which the Africans don’t want as if he was unified with Africa get would help them win wars, and yet the best of the Africans are shipped off to other countries.
