After going to Queens park, we went to the MooneyValley Council. There, we met Sandra Mack. Sandra was originally from Germany and has been in the council for about 2 years. She is the head of the Environment Council. Once there, Sandra told us about some of the things that the council do, to make Mooneyponds a healthy atmosphere.
THE POINT SYSTEM-The coincil has just produced a point system, where people living in Mooneyponds earn points through making their gardens an eco-friendly environment. For example, you will earn 2 points for a water tank in you garden, or 3 points for a pond. Once you have a certain amount of points, you recieve a prize. This is a great way to teach people to be eco-friendly.
JUNIOR RANGERS- is a wonderful way to get young kids eco-friendly. The children aged 2-10 can go to Queens park and explore. They recieve little packs containing binoculars, a map, and different species of flaura and funa. This way, they look for these organisms and tick them off once found.
THERMOMETRE- The ouncil has producd a thermometre that you use to make sure the temperature in your hose is right. It tells you whether youshould bring it down or bring it up. This way, people aren't wasting electricity. It can also be used to check hot water temperature. each of us recieved one of these to take home!
We learnt alot from Sandra and have become a bt more aware of how the council helps. We hope to spread our knowledge with everyone else too!!!
