Week 8

I missed class this Monday but I figured that I would write in my journal anyway. Conservation seems to be the key in this lesson. It has been on my mind for quite some time now. I have been looking into my own life kind of like the game Energyville as to how I can cut back. When I look at the game I have been overlooking the cost of these changes. Sure I can deal without heat for a few nights or live with the lights off. But how about the long term. How am I supposed to really put myself in a position to help the environment without the proper funding.

Dr. Thomas has explained to us countless times just how much funding is required in order to successfully power a house on solar energy alone. How would I be able to as a college student to create energy rather than just use it. This is why people are against the revolution and I find myself even more discouraged at times.

I believe that there will eventually be a way for companies to be cut off along with federal regulations a.k.a help from Washington to help PULL THE PLUG!! The pieces of the puzzle are there for us to put together we are just ignoring them.
