Recycling stations

In Sweden we have recycling stations to put stuffs like aliminum cans,glass bottles, paper,cardboard,plastic,electronics batteries and stuffs like that. We have a really big one in Luleå on a place called kronan. It's a huge place where you can put all kinds of thing that you need to throw away. But we also have small stations like the one on kronan in nearly every city part and in some of them even more. Made by Simon,Jens and David

Waste warm water heating

In Sweden we have a system for heating our houses called Waste warm water heating. The simple way to describe this is: The energy that is left after being used in our factories and industries are being lead out in our city to keep our houses warm.

Low-energy light bulbs

In Luleå, and the rest of Sweden, we use low-energy lightbulbs. We also use lightbulbs called LED. They are also a better option for the enviroment the ordinary lightbulbs.

We take the spare energy from our big industries and use it to warm our homes. We also burn the garbage and take the energy from that.

Of course this is better than nothing, but this is just a start. We have to improve our use of energy and do everything we can to make this an better enviroment.

Greeting from Axel, Elias, Joel and Adam.

Kronan recycling center

Kronan is a recycling center located in Luleå.
People leave things as scrap metal, bulky waste, combustible waste, construction, and demolition waste, light bulbs, fluorescent lamps, electronics and yard waste, refrigerators and freezers. Some of the items are then sold for cheap prices while the rest are scrapped and made into new gadgets.
It's very environmentally friendly and it's a great benefit to the city of Luleå.

Compost

Compost is a way to recycle, in Sweden we're using it a lot in our homes. A compost is a sort of container were you put all of your garbage that can decompose and become soil. Food waste and garden waste are examples of things that can decompose into soil, and they should therefore be placed in the "compost-container". In the compost, the garden- and food waste decomposes in a natural way by bacterias into soil.

This is a very good way to recycle food waste or garden waste, when the whole "process" is done, all you got is decomposed soil.
