REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Turn It Off

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

Currently, on the campus where I live, about half of the energy is generated by solar energy, and the rest is from fossil fuels. Having solar panels on campus to generate some of the school energy is great for the environment, as we are able to lessen the amount of energy generated from non-renewable energy sources. The energy provided from the solar panels ensures that no greenhouse gases will be emitted into the air. However, the other percent of energy being generated from fossil fuels is releasing those harmful gases that are damaging our environment.

In addition, these animals produce excessive amounts of waste that end up polluting rivers and streams as a result of runoff.
