The Regional solid waste landfill “Kivites” in Grobina parish The company takes care of all the waste generated in the whole Liepaja waste management region, namely, depositing, pre-treating prior depositing and collecting biogas in energy cells.The company also produces and markets electricity, as well as heat.
‘’Ķīvītes Landfill Museum’’. There are things that do not end when the previous owner gets rid of them.

Students from grade 6th participated in the Forest Expedition. Trees help to slow climate change because they absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Trees also provide shade, which helps keep streets and houses cooler in the summertime and reduces the need for air conditioning.
The Latvian State Forest Expedition is an approximately 2 km long educational hike in nature with 10 forest information stops led by experienced foresters. At each stop, the forester gives students practical or creative tasks, which they solve individually or in groups, recording the results in special workbooks.

Windmills made by students.
6th grade students participated in the workshop in Riga Motor Museum entitled "Wind Energy". The students listened to a presentation on the sustainable use of wind energy.
The students designed the wings of the wind generator from the paper. Each of them placed wings on the workpiece and measured the power of the electricity produced with the help of a fan. It ranged from 0.79 to 1.85 volts.
