The use of energy producing sources is a key element in environmental health. We use energy sources to drive our cars, heat and light our homes, run our businesses and schools, and generally to add to our daily comfort. Some sources of energy are less destructive to our world than others. Renewable sources and conservation are often environmentally friendly.Renewable sources include power created by solar energy, wind, wood, and water. Fossil fuels are finite and non renewable and often introduce pollution to our air, land and water. Projects in this section should deal with the enivironmental implactions of energy choices: |
