World Environment Day 2012
Curious about environment like all the time, JEEP was celebrating the World Environment Day (WED) on Tuesday, 5th June 2012 in the areas of Masaka and Kasese where they exhibited and showed our skills and activities. Theme of this years WED was the Green Economy.
JEEP participated in events in both areas and exhibited a number of energy saving technologies including the TLUD stove, Sarai cooker, hay basket cookers, charcoal stoves and built up shielded rocket stoves on that day. Other things displayed were alternative energy fuels and techniques to contain energy including solar, briquettes, tree seedlings and the “Liter of Light”
All the technologies displayed captured people’s attention and innovated their interests to know more about the technologies including the minister of Environment Mrs Mutagamba asked what were the plans to ensure that these technologies disseminate to all districts in Uganda?’Among others visited our Stall included school children local people and different officials.
Lesson learnt.
What is solar?We learnt that the school children did not know solar energy and asked specifically to be taken through soar energy and what it can do plus its components. Racheal took them through the basics of solar energy using the JEEP’s 5 Ws:
- Why solar?
- Where should we have solar?
- Who should have solar?
- When to use solar?
