Going Green

Part 1, Heating the world, greenhouse gasses

What in the World is Global Warming?!

Global Warming comes from radiation from the sun trapped in by greenhouse gasses. Thus, causing the Earth's temperature to rise, which is Global Warming

What are Greenhouse Gasses?

Greenhouse Gasses are emissions from cars, factories, and power plants which flow into the atmosphere and lock in heat and radiation from the sun.

The Greenhouse effect.

A car is a great example of the Greenhouse effect, light goes in the car through the window, but doesn't go out, Making the car hot, same with the Earth. It's not all bad though, without any greenhouse gasses at all, it would be freezing at night because there is no trapped in heat to keep the night warm, and at day it would be scorching because there would be direct heat to the Earth's surface. But too much is too much!

Animals Dieing Because of Global Warming

Lizards in the tropics detect even the smallest change in the climate caused by global warming where any big change may kill several of their kind. Even worse, between a third to a half of land animal and plant species will face extermination in the year 2050.

Part 2, Making a difference

           Switch to these methods of energy and you'll save several lives including yourselves

Wind Power

The force of the wind propels into the blades of the wind turbines causing motion which is converted into electrical current by means of an electrical generator. However, it needs constant wind currents for it to operate efficiently on its own. If I was to suggest a combination of power sources I would suggest this and solar power.

The Benefit of Wind Power
  • Wind Power is non-pollutive so it cannot contaminate the environment, with no chemical processes going on, like in the burning of fossil fuels, in wind power generation, nothing harmful is left over.
Solar Power

Solar energy is used for its heating properties and the production of electricity. It also can be used for heating water or air. Solar panels frequently are put on roofs for the most amount of sunlight for the most amount of power.

The Benefit of Solar Power
  • The benefits of solar power are seen frequently to heat pools, spas, and water tanks all over.
  • Solar Power is non-pollutive so it cannot contaminate the environment, with no chemical processes going on, like in the burning of fossil fuels, in wind power generation, nothing harmful is left over.
