No energy day

Yesterday at St John's school we had a no energy day. We could use no electricity and no heating! For lights we used tiny candles, for school dinners we had cold baguettes, and the teachers couldn't use their laptops! Channel M (Virgin 878 Sky 203) came along and interviewed some of us. Also, a photographer and reporter from the M.E.N (Manchester evening news) came along and did the same and took our pictures. you can see us at http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/video/hprc/15/3/publicationdate/MEN%20news today, but over the next few days it will go to pages before that. The point of the no energy day was to see what would happen if we tried to save lots of resources. Didn't look that good, though. So the best way to save energy is not to not use it, but to not use as much.
