Towards Net Zero: Energy and Fuel

By Benn Umugabo, Campbell Rogoff, Kairav Koita, and Nicolas Vanegas

What is Energy and Fuel?

Energy and Fuel are sources of power that are non-renewable (in most cases), also known as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are bad for the environment because you need to burn them to be used, which emits carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are one of the leading causes of climate change. These fuels are used to heat and cool houses, produce and manufacture, drive cars, and much more. But there are much better ways to fuel our earth.

Examples of what energy and fuel causes

Energy and fuel are very big factors in our day-to-day life, but they can also negatively affect the Earth. Some examples of how this can happen includes air pollution, climate change, water pollution, thermal pollution and solid waste disposal

Why you should advocate for Climate Change?

While this may seem like common knowledge to some, many people in the U.S. are skeptical of energy pollution even existing. Climate change is a big worry to all humans, globally. Our world will possibly be to hot for any life to be able to live, which could lead to the world having no forms of life.

Abstract

The problem we found with energy and fuel is that while it may be integral in society, it causes more harm than good. To combat this we brainstormed ideas that would be viable solutions such as solar, wind and renewable energy. This helped a lot but the problem is that these forms of energy can be very expensive and they aren't very used as much. In the end, the fate of our earth is in our hands, which is why we should all at least try practicing these REmedies for a better future.
