he two questions asked:
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.

Green building designs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. T
Un-Green
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.
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. 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.
4. 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.

Activity 4
1. It was an informal conference held by the UN to discuss development and environmental problems.
2. The UN (united Nations)
3. The annual summit was first held in 1992.
4. Rio De Jenaro
5. Johannesburg
6. To discuss environmental and energy issues.
7. Movements to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals and to create a permanent funds to help developing (less priviledged) countries do the same thing
8. It is necesary because if we dont raise awareness about natural resources depleting the environment will be "used up"
9. Yes in the sense that they created plans to solve their problems but no in the sense that most of their goals have not been reached.
10. The conference/meeting is based around making plans to go into a sustainable development plan.

activity 8
1.African nationialism to fight colonialism and demand independance from the colonisers
2. The Anc, the national congress 1920 , aboriginees writes protection society 1977
3. Pan - africanism is a movement for greater cooperation among africans. and to unify.
4.African nationialism was when african countries fought for INDEPENDANCE and pan africanism is to UNIFY all africans.
5. kwame Nkrumah was a gharnian who led the fight for independance in his home country against the british. Robert sobukwe was te first leader in the pan Africanist congress.
6.Bob Marley put lots of thought into this song it is about pan africanism it is how the afrivanss were taken from there homeland by force and sent away to work as slaves, they fought to get back much like a soldier in war.
