REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Turn It Off

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

We are very lucky to have SOLAR PANELS! It saves us a ton of money every year to have them but its also fun to see how much energy we can create on sunny days and compare it to the days where we are using more energy than we would like. It is a clean way to produce energy and safe for animals in our neighborhood too!

We plan to save it and put money toward paying off our house and the projects that need to be done to update it. Not only will these projects add value to the house in terms of esthetics, but it will also allow us to replace outdated house appliances that will be more energy efficient.

Additionally, this change has decreased our frequency of ordering food for delivered, which ultimately decreases the automobile gas transmission and landfill trash as we are not collecting food containers/plastic silverware, etc.
