Earth Day

3 technologies that the school plans to use are rainwater collections, geothermal A/C and solar photovoltaic power systems.

Rain water collections are when you collect water from when it rains and use it to water your garden or flowers. Geothermal A/C is getting heat from underground. Solar photovoltaic power systems are when you get electricity from the sun.

The core issue that I chose is recycling and waste reduction.

The big problem with this issue is that junkyards are filling with things that could have been recycled. An exampl would be the computers in the junkyards that leak toxic waste in to the ground.

To fix this problem I could start to recycle. I have not been recycling and I could also encourage my family and others to recycle. I could get plastic items and paper and recycle those. Another thing I could do is encourage my family to get eco friendly cars and drive less. I think all of these things could help the environment.
