Erratum:
No 1: It is mentioned that the “use of renewable energy can be a good solution for the reduction of energy and money spent in school.” However, the installation of, for example, solar photovoltaic panels do not guarantee a reduction in the consumption of electricity (electrical energy). It does ensure, due to the production of electricity, a reduction in the school electricity bill.
No 2: It is stated that the renewable sources of electricity consumed in Portugal rose 10% from 2013 to 2014. However, the document available on http://www.apren.pt/fotos/editor2/2015_comunicado_quercus_e_apren.pdf, of the association referenced in the video indicates that the increase was 6%.
This work was carried out under the Flash Seminar held on the 20th of March and the 10th of April 2015 at the Inter-School Group of Búzio (Agrupamento de Escolas de Búzio), in Vale de Cambra. Students developed media content based on interviews with experts in various fields related to climate change and research on the subject.
