Energy Island: How One Community Harnessed the Wind and Changed Their World Hardcover - 2011

by Allan Drummond; Allan Drummond (Illustrator)


From the publisher

Hold onto your hats! It's windy on the Danish island of Sams , where you will meet the environmentally friendly people who now proudly call their home Energy Island. At a time when most countries are producing ever-increasing amounts of greenhouse gasses, the rather ordinary citizens of Sams have accomplished something extraordinary--in just ten years they have reduced their carbon emissions by 140% and become almost completely energy independent. A narrative tale and a science book in one, this inspiring true story proves that with a little hard work and a big idea, anyone can make a huge step toward energy conservation. The inspiring first book in the author's acclaimed series about real-world communities going green.
