We care deeply about our environment, and we have been doing practical research into sources of renewable energy.
On our island we have several wind turbines generating electricity for individual buildings, including the youth hostel. Off the west side, in the Falls of Warness, there are experimental tidal energy machines. We gave a presentation on renewable energy to other schools at the EMEC Centre in Stromness in October 2009.
Then we all walked up Billia Croo to see where the new wave energy 'oyster' turbine will be sited.
We had some time to ourselves before the ferry home, so here are some of our energy superheroes : Wave Power Man, Wind Energy Woman, Biomass Man, Solar Power Man ....
