Ebbe'S and

Ebbe’S and er meget miljøbevidst. Den vil især gerne høre om og se store og små energiprojekter, der sparer på den fossile energi og nedsætter udslippet af CO2. Lige fra store vandkraftværker til energisparepæren i entréen. Allerhelst vil den fotograferes sammen med sådanne projekter – og så har den en hemmelig drøm om at komme ud i verden!
ENGLISH:
’Ebbe’S and’ means: The duck of Ebbe. (The funny spelling is a joke on the former Danish member of the national soccer team: Ebbe Sand) It is very concerned about the environment. In particular it likes to hear about and see big and small energy projects, which saves fossile energy and decreases the emission of CO2. From big hydro power plants to the energy saving bulbs at home. It hopes to be photografed with such projects – and it has a secret dream of seeing the world outside Denmark, where it is born.

Den ser ikke ud af så meget – men husk på hvad den grimme ælling blev til i eventyret! På billedet nedenfor (Ready to be launched) er den i hænderne på sin gode ven, Matilda. Hun sidder på en balle halm. Huset bag dem opvarmes af ca. 1000 baller per år (i kombination med 32 m2 solfangerpaneler).NB: Den første and gik til i Sverige. Den er nu erstattet af en 'and'en, der er mindre og mere robust.
ENGLISH:
It does not look impressive – but remember what became of the ugly duckling in the fairy tale by H.C. Andersen ! At the launcing picture below it is in the hands of its good friend, Matilda. She is sitting on a bale of straw. The house behind is heated with app. 1000 such bales per year (in combination with 32 m2 of solar panels).NB: The first duck went missing in Sweden. It has now been replaced by another, which is smaller and more robust.
