One Step to Solving Pollution

In this final unit of our Fuel class we focused on pollution, where it comes from, how is it made, and how to get rid of it. One very dangerous form of pollution is excess carbon. Everyday the world's carbon level is rising, which we talked about in our previous class Water that a large amount of carbon is being put into the atmosphere. Right now we are at dangerous levels that aren't reversible like 400 ppm of carbon when we are supposed to be at 350. That's why this unit was really important to focus on how we can solve the problem and focus on the future of our world. I really enjoyed learning about how I can reduce my carbon footprint. I hope you also see the benefits of reducing your carbon footprint while reading this essay.

IF You Like Clean Energy Go Wind Energy

In our second unit of our Fuel class we discovered new topics about creating functions and learning about the use of clean renewable energy opposed to our last unit which was the opposite. I'm really proud of how quickly I was able to grasp topics from this unit, while still learning new things about renewable energy. Like how it gets to us and how energy is obtained. In the video I created I go over a presentation I had created to inform viewers about the renewable resource of wind energy. The infomercial goes over topics like the advantages/disadvantages of  wind power and a  company that has already switched to wind energy. I hope you enjoy.

Natural Gas Is In The Past

In this unit of Fuel class we focused on creating a slideshow that compares the use of nonrenewable resources for two countries. I decided to focus on methane which is a natural gas. During this unit we focused on several math concepts that would help us make a graph to show the difference between the U.S. and Denmark's natural gas consumption. My presentation shows the U.S. and Denmark's natural gas consumption, from predicting rates, graphing rates, and comparing rates of consumption between Denmark and the U.S.
