I am specifically studying what natural energy’s can do for the environment and what negative effects they can have for humans. I also want to learn about what happens to pollution and trash once we through it away. The destruction of the rain forest has destroyed natural habitats and I want to find out why it’s being cut down and what have people done to stop it. I want to understand what effects do humans have on the environment.

A Plan to Power 100 Percent of the Planet with Renewables: Scientific American

Clean Technologies Only
Renewable energy comes from enticing sources: wind, which also produces waves; water, which includes hydroelectric, tidal and geothermal energy (water heated by hot underground rock); and sun, which includes photovoltaics and solar power plants that focus sunlight to heat a fluid that drives a turbine to generate electricity. Our plan includes only technologies that work or are close to working today on a large scale, rather than those that may exist 20 or 30 years from now.

In December leaders from around the world will meet in Copenhagen to try to agree on cutting back greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come. The most effective step to implement that goal would be a massive shift away from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy sources. If leaders can have confidence that such a transformation is possible, they might commit to an historic agreement. We think they can.
