Project 'Eco-Event' :

You are in charge of organizing a one- or two-day event (it can be linked to sport, music, cinema, video games or any other theme). You have to choose the name of your event, a few words to explain it, a date and a place.

-Following the checklist, imagine and write the eco-friendly aspects of your events. Every aspect has to be explained in details. 

-Prepare invitations for your event : imagine an eco-friendly way to invite people to your event. Your invitation should include :

•  the name of your event 

•  the dates 

•  the prices 

•  a logo 

•  the location (it has to be a real location: exact place (in a park, in the fields..) + the city and the country 

•  the type/ theme of event (music festival, sport event, art exhibition…) 

• eco-friendly actions detailed : a green charter (with a minimum of 6 elements [or more], detailing why your event can be considered as eco-friendly and     sustainable). The charter must include new elements you invented. 

You should also be ready to orally present your leaflet to your teachers and the class.

How many Watt are wasted in your house by devices in standby mode ?

1. Study the Official European journal extract to know what must be the maximum power used by a device in standby mode.

• Activity  - Oral comprehension (link to video) 

2. Download the standby calculator and fill in the blanks by following the next steps :

• A : Enter the sum of the number of devices which are in standby mode in your house.

• B : According to the result of the question 1, find the power spent at home by A.

• C : Energy/year = power*number of hour in a year (be careful, we are in KWh and not in Wh).

• D : Assuming everybody is approximately like you, calculate the power spent by devices which are in standby mode in your house.  

• E : The same for the energy calculation.

• F : Give the number of nuclear reactors, we need to supply all these standby modes.

• G : Or the number of big wind turbines.

• H : Search for the price of a KWh in France on the Internet and give the price spent by your family/year.
