3/13 report

Last class 03/13 was very informative and the presentations from all the groups were really good.  Our group talked about Chapter 5 Stabilizing climate: Shifting to Renewable Energy. How wind power is going to be the best way to gather electricity and by 2020 we are planning on reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 80%. The video was really good on how to grow your own food. How the family works together and they walked everywhere, only using their car if the place was too far away.-Yissel Ortega 

 Class last week was again interesting to hear about the different group presentations.  However, it was our own presentation that I enjoyed the most.  When I was doing the research for the slide about wind power I learned a lot that I was previously not aware of.  I never knew that wind power was so efficient.  It seems to be the largest push at the moment for green, renewable energy and everybody is getting on board.  The United States is currently the leader in wind power production but Denmark is actually the leader in terms of wind power as a total percentage of the countries power production.  China, however, is about to pass us all as the leader in wind power production with plans to start construction on some very large wind farms.

 Last class our group presented a power point explaining stabilizing climate and shifting to renewable energy. we talked about wind power, solar power, and geothermal energy. we also discussed our goals and what we can do for sustainability. At the end of class we watched a movie. - Amanda DeNoto

Last class we gave our presentation on how we can turn to alternate sources of energy. I felt that the class had a lot of good input towards our discussion. We did not have to beg anybody to join in everyone was pretty interested in the topic.
