14.02

Hi guys!

Today we finally got to talk to our group in Hamburg on Skype. It was very interresting to get to know what they were working with and how they worked. We are getting more and more excited about the trip to Hamburg for every day! We got a very good impression of the city from what they told us, and it seem as Hamburg is a very green and clean city!

We look forward to keep in touch with them and to develop our project! :-)

xoxo Green Angels <3

Our visit at BIR


On Tuesday we went to BIR with our class. BIR is responsible for all the trash that is produced in Bergen and eight other communities. It is a cooperation between the communities, and every community owns a part of BIR. At first we learnt the history of BIR and how they handle the trash they collect. Afterwards we got a tour in the building were we looked at the machines and the process the trash goes through. The energy that comes from burning the trash is used to heat up big buildings, like the hospital. How they treat trash has changed a lot the past 30 years and the methods they use today are eco and very kind to the environment, unlike it was not long ago.

Us girls in Green Angels found this very interresting! :-)


Here you can see the building. As you may notice, the smoke is very clear because of the cold temperature, it is not as dramatic as it looks!
