Week 2

This is the second week of our exploration of energy and the environment. This week we are looking in to the environmental effects that the human race are having on it. Our effect on the globe be it by industrialization or technological advances has been out of control. It is just that, because there has been no control over the output of energy across the globe. We have been using and using and using think that we will not be held accountable for our actions in any way.

Global warming has been the first sign that we are taking a toll on our environment that we are using and giving nothing back to. We should be replenishing our footprint that we are making on the whole. There is no need to be taking away oil the way in which we are and chopping down more trees to make a strip mall. We should be planting a million trees for every oil reserve we dig.

Our affect on the global climate is only going to become more of a problem as we continue to expand and find new ways to spread our use of technology and mechanisms. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said “Today, the time for doubt has passed,” it is true. Right now action needs to happen. The amount of persons who are mobilized for the revolution are small and few know the problem and the problem is plentiful. But how to fix it is still a problem.
