Save Energy
Save Our Planet from Global Warming
Lets Make Clean Energy from the Wind!


Introduction We introduce the idea that we are at an exciting time. We as a nation are beginning to change from dirty energy to clean energy. This will make our communities healthier, safer, and peaceful. Clean renewable energy can be shared with the world and if we use energy wisely everyone will have enough. When we make our energy from the sun, the wind, the heat of the earth, and the movement of water, we will slow and then reverse Global Warming.
