Landfill gas

The new ELI today is the next is our 'net zero' emissions series, 'Energy from buried waste: Landfill gas'.

It is vital that modern technologies are developed not only to manage waste but also to ensure that minimal harmful by-products are allowed to pollute the air or the ground. We must re-cycle as much as possible and mitigate the effects of non recyclable material. This ELI is a case study of good practice by an industrial firm to try to reduce its use of fossil fuels and to assist the local community in reducing its carbon footprint

Landslide through the window?

'Landslide through the window - what would you see, what would you feel? Asking pupils to picture for themselves what a landslide through the window might look like.'

This Earthlearningidea is a ‘thought experiment’ imagining how different landslides might affect the view through the window.

There are many more activities about natural hazards in the Natural Hazards category.
