Just a quick update about the National Geographic/Vattenfall competition.

It was a competition for children across Europe to come up with a great project to help combat climate change locally to them, but with international possibilities.

The winners were a group of young people from Copenhagen, Denmark who headed up the project:  Biogas: The Best Solution.

Their idea revolved around the concept of creating energy from an existing method, but by using the fuel from their local zoo.  Basically, the animal waste was burnt to create the energy needed to run the zoo itself.  A perfect circle.

The judges felt that this was ‘the most holistic’ project submitted from hundreds of entries from 21 countries.  Not only does it reduce the need for the zoo to import energy from other sources, it also plays a role in preserving the habitats needed for wildlife so that fewer species become endangered in the first place. 

The zoo already has a great reputation for helping existing endangered wildlife – and now it is helping other species before there is a problem – and it may be the model that leads other zoos and wildlife sanctuaries to do the same.

Hello again, and thanks for sticking with me here on this new blog.

So far we have covered 6 different categories with posts ranging from International Competitions to the fastest train on Earth!

Hopefully, now the site will start to expand, taking on many more exciting topics that are all new to us all – like latest inventions, as well as posts about what I have found out myself on my travels, one to include Pet Insurance.  Although it has been around for well over a decade – it’s amazing how many people still don’t know about it!  All will be revealed soon……

Thanks again for listening.
