This week for reading we have been learning about energy and how to save energy.


We also discovered these amazing shoes called "Kinetic Energy Shoe" Its a articular about a shoe that every time you walk or run or take a step it fills up the batter that's inside. Students in Ho Chi Minh City at the University of Technology made these shoe to make the future easier for us humans.

Christchurch Idea Post - Compost Theater: Leilani

Idea for Poster

Compose theater - In Christchurch central city, there could be a
huge stone wall that had a projector on it. A projector that plays
movies for anyone who wants to watch and best of all the projector
is powered by compost or rubbish. So you just tip in your rubbish or
compost and it will melt Making gas for it to work.
1. So the process will happen in like a indestructible metal burning container that can be built in a building. So.. that metal container will be doing all the work, yeps that right!. The metal container will be heated up at about to a really hot temperature and then the compost and rubbish that will be tipped in will melt and make gas for it to work.

2. Then there will be a projector that will show a movie on a wall with a white sheet making it for anyone who wants to watch movies. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is a good idea to use in Christchurch, because the damage that the earthquake caused can destroy everything. While this Compost Theater could save so much money and a lot of energy. Plus!, who doesn't like a free movie theater right in the PUBLIC!
