I read a one chapter named 'The house that Dan built' from the non-fiction book called 'Wild discoveries'.
Daniel Turinsky, a student, participated in a competition to design an eco-house using the computer game Minecraft. Houses that are designed to look after the natural world are called Echo-house.
Dan selected to use local Wood to make his house because it is a renewable resource and saves the petrol. Petrol is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed in the ground over millions of years from dead plants and animals.
When we use petrol we also make greenhouse gases that make the world warmer and leads to rising sea levels.
I like this task because I learned about echo-house, fossil fuels, and greenhouse gases.
