Embracing Clean Energy

Do you know what global warming is? Global warming is when gasses like carbon dioxide trap heat like a blanket. As we continue to add these gases to the atmosphere, the Earth will get hotter and hotter. If this keeps continuing, what kind of Earth will we leave our next generations? We will leave them dealing with more natural disasters, more diseases, higher water levels, and more extinctions of animals and plants. We will be leaving a hot mess!

How can we help prevent this?!

We need clean energy! Clean energy is a term that means any power source that does not harm the environment. For example, windmills and solar panels make power from wind and the sun.

This summer, I went on a trip with my mother to Europe to celebrate my 10th birthday. We went to Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands (just the airport but who can say they’ve been to the Amsterdam Airport?!). There, we saw many different ways people are making use of clean (or cleaner) energy sources. We saw lots of windmills and solar panels, but here are a few of the other things we saw.

Let’s all work together to use more clean energy everywhere!
