Everything is slower, so I am able to enjoy the views, the smells, the noise. You see and feel things you cant when you are in a vehicle.

REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn It OffHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Martin Aguirre 10/06/2020 8:52 AMIt is generated mostly from hydroelectric dams. Dams produce methane ,blocks natural waterways, destroys ecosystems and alters the geology of rivers. Dams only run as long as the volume of water in rivers is sustained. Increasingly dangerous weather conditions and an exploding population put that at risk. -
