Bonus film:
Listen to me sing One Call Away with Matt On Smule’s SING! app.
My Dad and some of his friends carried a heavy canoe for 7.5 Kilometres and I was the camera man!
Last Friday Costa came to our school. Costa is cool and he is happy at all times.
Costa has his own gardening show and went with me, my bro and my dad to the Pako Festa :D. Isn’t he cool?!?!?!? (YOU’D BETTER THINK HE’S COOL!!)
Here is Costa’s song:
When he came to our school assembly he gave us a little lesson on SUNFLOWERS!!!! And then he visited my BROTHERS grade!!!!!!!!!!! AND he took a PHOTO with MY BROTHER 😐
And then the next day at Pako, he took that PHOTO WITH……… ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYAYYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!
Here is an interview my dad did with Costa for The Sustainable Hour on 94.7 the Pulse when he visited our school.
Wow – just in the month of October, Eva, Matt and I and all the other school students in Geelong walked 78,000 kilometres!!!
I was the director for this video 😀 Dad was my camera man
Have you seen the video yet? Do you like it? If you do then your next step will be to go staight to OUR SOLAR PEOPLE and help us get solar on South Geelong Primary School.
On Friday, we got a cheque of $5,000 from the Bendigo Community Fund!!
…and Solar Edge – the solar company who sent this great music track to us and wrote the lyrics for our Solar Busker Song, they told us that they will donate the inverters for our school’s solar system! How cool is that!???!!!! (I know… pretty cool, right? *wink*)
We don’t know what that adds up to, yet, with those inverters, but it might be somewhere in the area of $4,000 (or something, I dunno)!!! Which means that we are already up to having collected around $14,000 by now!!
You can help us reach our goal and get solar on our school! Go to The Solar Program and pay $1 or even just 10 cents (or the occasional $1,000,000,000,000…….. + $999.99).
Our goal is $30,000 – and we know we can make it, because we will continue busking and harrassing you until we get there. 😉
The first two days since we launched the video, we have already received $15.50 in cash in our busker hat!! And we heard from someone who has put $10 in our ‘digital hat’. It is working!!

THE LYRICS
Bring the action!
When your driving in the car
All eyes on the map
All eyes on the map
You’re about to CRASH!
I simply use my GPS
Get around no stress
‘Cause it makes no sense
To use anything else
You don’t need to print
To show off your trip
I simply share my pics
One slide, two clicks
When you use fossil fuels
You pollute and abuse
Those bills are huge
Hey, you can still choose
I self-consume the sun
That source is never done
Time to sound your voice
Solar power is a choice
You know its clear and right
To use the sunlight
Its clear and right
To use the sunlight and saying’
Oh we oh we oh we oh
And saying oh we oh we oh we oh
You know its clear and right
To use the sunlight
Its clear and right
To use the sunlight and saying
Oh we oh we oh we oh
Now its ob-ob-obvious
Solar power fabulous!
Oh yeah
“We don’t need to burn coal
because we can use the sun!”
Bring the action
We need more power
All eyes on us
All eyes on us
We do it right
Do you use that massive phone?
That tv is old!
This thing is heavy
Boom box, you’re crazy?!
So why do we use
Those fossil fuels?
It makes no sense
Now it gets intense!
Turn it on!
Turn it on!
Solar power starts from dawn
No pollution, the bill is low
Smarter choices, now you know
Know, know – yes, yes!
Everybody from east to west
Stop polluting – now its done
Get your power from the sun
You know its clear and right
To use the sun light
Its clear and right
To use the sun light and saying
Oh we oh we oh we oh
And saying oh we oh we oh
You know its clear and right
To use the sun light
Its clear and right
To use the sunlight and saying
Oh we oh we oh we oh
Now its ob-ob-obvious
Solar power fabulous!
You know its clear and right
To use the sunlight
Its clear and right
To use the sunlight and saying
Oh we oh we oh we oh
And saying
Oh we oh we oh we oh
And saying
Oh we oh we oh we oh
You know its clear and right
To use the sunlight
Its clear and right
To use the sunlight and saying
Oh we oh we oh we oh
Oh we oh we oh we oh
Now its ob-ob-obvious
Solar power fabulous!

Every year 40 billion tons of smoke goes into the air. That’s the weight of eight billion elephants flying around. And the following year there will be eight billion more elephants joining them.
If you line up eight billion elephants in one long line, it will go half the way to Mars. Hey! That means that in the next 2 years there will be enough elephants to reach Mars!! Go figure!
