Active climate pioneers<br />

„Climate Pioneers“ is an initiative of Swisscom with the partners Solar<br />

Impulse, <strong>myclimate</strong> and the Federal Office for the Environment. The project<br />

offers school classes from kindergarten to high school the possibility to<br />

realize own climate protection projects. In Bonstetten for example, 480 kids<br />

and teenagers implemented climate protection measures in 35 projects.<br />

Another project was realized in Guttannen, where a wind plant produces<br />

now electricity for the IT structure of the school building. In Horgen,<br />

scholars replaced an old solar energy plant with a new one which is much<br />

more efficient.<br />
