This graph shows different sources of energy used in the world. I chose to use this to represent types of alternative energy to show that we use oil more than any other type of energy. I also wanted to show that most of the energy we use is not renewable energy such as Wind. I couldn't even find the percentage of wind power used because it is so small. I was surprised to find that coal was still one of the larger sources of energy, but I was even more surprised that the percentage of solar and wind energy was less than 1%. I hope that eventually our society will be able to use less oil and more alternative energy.

Environmentally frendly cars

Honda's Hybred Cars

The Japanise are not the only cars that are going to be recignized now for being environmentally friendly. Honda has hired Wieden and Kennedy's advertizing company to poblisise marque's their low impacting cars on the environment products since 1950. They are using the modo "When problems are a joy". I am interested in these new cars becouse I feel that people in the US are finally takeing action to stop global warming. There are down sides to the hybred cars though. They are not affordable for everyone, but at least Honda is taking some steps to help the causes of global warming.


EU want Formula One racing to be Environmentally Friendly

Formula one racing cars ran with 4-,6-,8-,10- and 12-cylinder engines. The engines that were used were not good for the environment, but now the FIA have been using new restrictions on the engines. These restrictions include, standardized fuels, V-8 engines of 2.4L displacement and new the engines must be standard ECUs. Le Mans Style sports car has come even further. They have encouraged alternatives like diesels, biofuels and differdnt engine types like Wankel rotaries. I think that it is great that even racing cars are beging to be conserned about the environment. With time maybe we can make all cars environmentally frinedly.

Global warming and school issues

My name is Kelsey for school I am doing this blog on global warming and school issues. We all know that global warming is a big issue, but not many of us are really doing anything about it. We know that we can't stop the issue of global warming completly, we have done to much damage already. In ordor to even start to slow global warming down we need to do more than drive cars less. Many of us are not ready for the chalenge.

In my school most of the students are ready for some major changes. There are rules in are school like no walkmans. Our rules need some serous revissions. This should be student counsil's job, but student counsil has not done much but organize a theme week in the past few years. It seems like sudent counsil is finaly starting to do something about the many issues in our school, but this is just the 1st step. I would like to see some changes in the gum chewing rules, dress code, i-pods, and being able to see student in other houses. I know that a lot of work would go into changing this, but us students are more than willing to help.
