Renewable Resources

Renewable Resources

Tha daoine den bheachd gu bheil Alba làn de stòrasan ath-nuadhachail—a’ ghaoth, an t-uisge agus a’ ghrian—ged nach bi i grianach fad an t-siubhail!

People believe that Scotland is full of renewable resources—the wind, the water and the sun—even though it isn’t sunny all the time!

Bu chòir dhuinn a bhith mothachail air na rudan a tha againn agus bu chòir dhan riaghaltas agus dha na h-ùghdarrasan a bhith a’ glèidheadh na tha ann agus gan cleachdadh gu ceart.

We should be conscious of what we have and the government and the authorities should protect/preserve what is there and use it properly.

Why don’t you have a go at this task! If you have a Gaelic-speaking friend, you could do this together. If you don’t—no problem—you can have double the fun!

Use this vocabulary and these questions to start a conversation, or you can consider them on your own:

A bheil tuathanas-grèine ri fhaicinn faisg air far a bheil thu a’ fuireach?

Is there a solar farm to be seen near where you live?

Dè mu dheidhinn tuathanas-gaoithe?

What about a wind farm?

A bheil thu den bheachd gu bheil crainn-ghaoithe brèagha no grànda?

Do you think windmills are beautiful or ugly?

A bheil panailean-grèine air mullach an taighe agad?

Do you have solar panels on the roof of your house?

An faigheadh tu panailean-grèine?

Would you get solar panels?
