Samsø is an adorable, tiny, island in the middle of Denmark. Home to about 4,000 people, it managed to win a government competition to be completely sustainble. It's 10 wind turbines and 11 off-shore wind turbines provide all of the island's electricity and often more, which they sell back to the grid.
I had an amazing weekend exploring the island with DIS, and once again, we were lucky with no rain! We did a lot of biking and walking, and took the train and ferry to get there. I guess we had to stick to the 'sustainable' theme of the trip! We visited the energy academy, there's a great Time Magazine article about Soren, the guy who runs it and who talked to our group. The exciting bits of the trip included visiting a windmill, walking along the coast, visiting an organic brewery, and lots of cute rural towns.
