It is sustainable because it uses the suns energy instead of regular energy so the energy doesn’t go to waste. Solar panels will only work when the sun is out so at night you have to use the usual energy.]]> 2019-06-13 12:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367392926 011629 https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367394850 Straw is a really good for insulation because it traps the air, heat or coolness in a room/box. It is a natural resource so it isn’t hard on the environment. The are at an affordable price so it’s not only sustainable, it’s natural and cheap. Hempcrete is a strong, affordable material. If Hempcrete is applied with the straw, in will make it stronger and not just like hay bales. Hempcrete is a natural resource made from hemp and lime. Hempcrete locks in carbon dioxide and also can be used on its on because it is good for insulation. Hempcrete is just like concrete except it is less brittle and is natural so it isn’t hard on the environment.]]> 2019-06-13 12:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367394850 011629 https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367692205 Double glazed windows are just like regular windows but are twice as strong. These windows insulate well because of its thickness. Not only can these windows reduce heat, it can keep out noises like dogs barking, the road, construction works and thunderstorms. ]]> 2019-06-15 10:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367692205 011629 https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367757756 LED lights use less energy than other light bulbs. This means that LED lights save the owners money. LED lightbulbs  can wear out from 20,000-50,000 hours which means LED lights are last five times longer.]]> 2019-06-16 09:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367757756 011629 https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367758429 Recycling bins are good because if you have scrap pieces of paper or cardboard, you can put them in your recycling bin and it will be reused.]]> 2019-06-16 09:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/011629/cu0vkrapttax/wish/367758429
