Reflection

The thing that surprised us the most was that we were not able to cook an egg in the oven without it drying up. Using the sun is not the best way to cook eggs.

But for the chocolate, it took about 3 hours for it to melt completely. That is a long time for melting chocolate. Even if using solar ovens is the cheaper, easier way to go, it’s not always the fastest, most efficient choice.

Making the solar oven was easy, and didn't take that much time. The thing that took most of the time was actually cooking the food. Making the solar oven only took about 45 minutes where trying to cook food on it took hours.

Our attitude towards going green hasn't changed throughout this project because it took more time and energy to do something that would normally take minutes. Seeing as we couldn't even cook an egg on our oven, we think it would be very difficult to make anything else let alone a meal.

We think that one person is able to make a difference, but mostly for themselves. For everyone to be able to go green would take lots of time and effort, but we guess that if that one person put in lots of time and effort, they could make a difference for our grandchildren. If we don't start to go green, our grandchildren won't be able to take a breath outside without the air being smoggy and polluted. It is important to think about our environment, and everyone should think about going green.
