As engineers and chemist are looking for ways to find renewable energy on this planet. I began to think to myself "What are the different types of energy that are available to us?" All I knew about renewable energy is that energy can be harnessed from the sun, wind, and large bodies of water. That is only a small portion of the many different types of renewable energy that is out there in the world. The other types of renewable energy are geothermal, biogas, biomass, and also tidal. These other types of energy open more possibilites for researchers and engineers to try to harness it. If renewable energy can be used more often, it will make our future much better since the use of fossil fuels will decrease, causing a smaller carbon footprint onto the atmosphere.

Being able to know more about the different types of renewable energy really opened my eyes to the many possibilites for me to make an impact on this planet. After college I really want to find new ways of harnessing energy from the planet so that everyone can move towards being green. It will take time, but the wait will be much worth it especially for ourselves and the planet.

Through the research I have done, I learned that there are many different types of renewable energy out there. The more options for renewable energy on this planet allows chemical engineers and all types of researches to find a way to obtain it from the planet. With global warming being a hot topic and people trying to go towards being green, using renewable energy would be a step in the right direction. It will probably take little steps to move toward being fully reliable on renewable energy for the future, but any type of renewable energy used now will make an impact.

I am all for "going green." I believe that we as humans have abused our resources, and as a result, the health of our planet is suffering. For instance, global warming is causing a drastic decrease in the size of animals' habitats all around the world. Polar bears are drowning because they are unable to swim the ever-growing distances between ice burgs.
ReplyDelete...As you can see, this is an issue that really hits home with me. Hopefully you will be able to find more environmentally-friendly sources of energy for our planet in the future. (:
I totally agree with what you are saying! There are a lot of people out there that know that there is global warming going on in the world, but they choose to look the other way when they are faced with the fact that their actions are affecting the planet. The whole ice caps melting and sea levels rising is are very big problems that needs to be faced. Hopefully with newer technology and more people collaborating together, there will be ideas that can slow down global warming. Doing the little things are key to fixing a problem!
