My Solution to Pollution

As I end Fuel with the 3rd and last action project I introduce to you "My solution to pollution". In this course we learned about the impact pollution has on yourself and the world around you. In this project we learned how much we and our neighborhood pollute. While we learned the impact and importance of pollution we also learned ways to improve our choices to decrease our carbon footprint and what actions we can take to decrease the global carbon ppm. One of the challenges I faced was balancing chemical bonds. Something that I am proud of is the knowledge I gained in terms of knowing how severe pollution really is.

Hydroelectric Is Your New Investment

In our course Fuel we are making a renewable energy infomercial of our chosen energy source. I picked Hydroelectric, and in this infomercial I talk about the advantages, disadvantages, and business who uses this energy source. Once I found out how much a hydro plant costs to built and its annual savings I was able to turn it into a function to find out how many years it will take to make a profit. The most challenging part for me was being able to record the audio to my presentation. What I am most proud of is what I have learned in this course. I learned about functions, types of energy, and nonrenewable/renewable sources.

Natural Gas Pshh...More Like Pathetic Trash!

In this unit of Fuel we presented a slideshow on our chosen nonrenewable source. I picked Natural gas and the ethane molecule. We had one country to compare its consumption to that of the US. With my chosen country which is Ukraine I used several math equations that involved finding my slope, equations, and the point of intersection for the two countries.
