Question #3 - Final

Renewable energy means using natural factors such as wind or solar effectively. Nonrenewable energy means using natural factors like oil or nuclear supplies that can't be used again. Both renewable and nonrenewable can change form, this is an example of the conservation of energy. This law states that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. There is the same amount of energy here on Earth as there was 25 years ago, the only difference is it's in a different place or form. Nonrenewable resources is the overall cost of he earths energy is major pollution in the air and the benefit are that we have energy which makes our everyday lives easier. For renwable resources H2O is 70% of the Earth’s surface and 80% of fruit and vegetables are made of water. Our bodies are 50 - 70% water and we lose about 2.5 liters through urine and feces, skin and lungs. In the long run though using renewable resources can do good for out planet. For example, groundwater could be removed from an aquifer at a rate greater than the sustainable recharge. I will use this information in the future because now I know what I can do to help the planet. I can use better resources to produce less pollution. Eventhough it will be hard because you will have to change a lot of things, still you will be helping the planet be a better place for everyone. Common Good is a core democratic value to support this. I will be helping the plants and everyone living on it.
