Good Things To Do
“Our planet's quest for sustainability takes many
forms. One such effort has yielded results that could very well teach all of us
methods of success. The Danish island of Samsa is an experimental site for
renewable energy production: wind turbine farms, biomass power plants, and
solar panels. All are used to generate electricity, heat, and hot water for the
island. This green revolution is showing the world that Denmark can change our
relationship with energy resources, and those at the forefront of the
revolution have a new mission: to make Denmark completely eco-sustainable by
2030.” –Container
