Recycling!

This week's topic will be recycling. Recycling is important the world over, basically because we as humans have made too many items that are difficult to dispose of. Human ingenuity is grand, and our inventions are useful indeed, but when it comes to end of some items' lives, there are not many options of what to do with things that have become needless. Sometimes these left-overs get tossed on the street and in natural areas, creating an environment of litter and waste. For decades people have been aware of this, and we have begun taking steps to take care not to fill our world with garbage. However, in many developing countries, disposing of waste is no easy matter. They have not the area, knowledge, or know-how to dispose of things properly, let alone recycle. As a result, garbage builds up and is dangerous for humanity and the environment. This, students, is where you come in. Those with education and who have thought and learned about the dangers can help long into the future.

Alternative Energy Explanation Example

Hello students, thank you for your attention last week. I hope you're doing well with your flip-book presentations. I can't wait to see them! As I said I would, I am posting the alternative energy explanation sample now. Please have a look, and try to aim for something like this, although keep in mind it is just an example and that there are many possibilities for explanations.

My alternative energy source is called______________. It is used by ___________, _______________, and ____________. It has _________ parts: the _______, _______, and the ___________. It makes energy by _________________________. I wanted to create it because __________________________________. It is located in/at/near _______________. It costs \/$____________ to make. Its two most important features are its: 1)__________________, and 2) _______________________.

Invent a New Alternative Energy Source!

Many kinds of alternative energy sources are in the wind these days, like wind power! This is not meant to be a joke, however. There are many different kinds of alternative energy sources that have the potential to be discovered daily, and many are, whether by accident or by design. In fact, now there are sources such as wave power(power generated by wave movement), human foot power (power generated by people walking on sidewalks), and I've even heard of power generated from dancing on the floor in a dance club. One family I saw on the Internet uses an old stationary bicycle to charge batteries. In middle America, small farms use their own recycled cooking oil to run machinery. Other forms of reusable fuel sources such as methane related products and biomass energy sources are also used to run equipment. Composting toilets and other organic compost can be used for fuel as well, after being treated and cleaned.

We perhaps know of other alternative energy sources of late: solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, and geothermal energy. The list is far from over, and will keep growing, hopefully. However, which of these energy sources will stay and be put to good use, and which ones will prove to be ineffective or difficult to render remains a question that will long be held into the future. One thing is for sure - most of these sources are cleaner than the dirty coal we've lived with for generations. Unfortunately, we may keep using coal into the future, even though it has many shortcomings. Let's hope not, though.

There is one last question for this blog: what kind of energy sources are good and clean enough to spend time and money developing? Hey, the answer might just be with you! If you invent the newest alternative energy source, you will definitely become rich and famous!
