Energy Saving
Fourth day-19th January 2023
The fourth day started with the activity coordinated by the IT teacher of the host school, Mr. Yunus KÖK, "A circular economy for smartphones and electronic devices".
The participants learned what mobile phones are made of. Students learned about the impact of smartphones and other electronic devices on the environment and how to create a circular economy for them.
The students worked in mixed teams and searched online for keywords about smart phones and the circular economy (a quiz game and a genius game). Also, they had to check online 2 truths and a lie about mobile phones.
Thus, they found out that it is true that the so-called "hibernating" devices in homes amount to almost 700 million devices in Europe, that it is true that extending the lifespan of all smartphones in the EU by 1 year would save 2.3 tons of CO2 per year by 2030, which is the equivalent of taking one million cars off the road. The activity was assessed by means of an online kahoot quiz).
Then, we went to the Atlas Energy power plant. The seminar began with the presentation of the rules that the visitors must respect and with the signing of the labor protection by the participants. Then, I received the protective equipment.
The expert presented us the process of generating energy from coal and ore, comparing traditional energy sources with renewable ones. He also spoke about the measures the company will take to protect the environment, explaining how the carbon dioxide concentration in the area is monitored daily. The students then toured the Atlas Energy plant, guided by plant experts.

Useful tips for saving energy were also presented. The most important thing was that the participants understood the difference between energy saving and energy efficiency. The students asked questions related to the policies of developed countries related to the efficiency of energy consumption.
