Save Our Planet from BIG Climate Change
Lets Make Clean Energy from the Sun and the Wind!
Introduction We are at an exciting time! Our old way
of making energy by using coal and oil is causing Global Warming and changing
our climate. We, the people of the world are beginning to build our clean
energy future. This will make our communities healthier, safer, and peaceful.
First we must conserve energy. If we use our energy wisely, everyone
will have enough. We can learn how to use energy wisely—how
to shrink our Eco Footprint with “the BIG 10”.
By using energy wisely we will be able to make enough energy from the
sun, the wind, the heat of the earth, and the movement of water for everyone
to share.
