Help Our Environment With Renewable Energy Sources
There is no better way to help save the planet earth than to use renewable energy. A renewable energy source is simply any energy that is from a source that is natural and is not reduced in supply by using it. Or if it is reduced in supply, the supply can be replenished. In addition, a renewable energy sources is not harmful to the environment as it is part of the ecosystem that we live in. Most of the energy used today comes from natural resources that are limited in supply.The full explanation can be found at http://environmenteng.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/vermont-eyes-90-renewable-energy-use-by-2050/ Once they are gone, the energy is gone. But to make matters worse, resources such as gas, oil, and coal are not a part of our ecosystem and pollute our environment.
Carbon dioxide emissions from oil alone is creating a green house affect which in turn is warming the planet. Using oil, gas, and coal products releases carbon dioxide that at one time was trapped beneath the ground. Using a renewable resource such as wood will release carbon dioxide also, but it is carbon dioxide that came from the tree that had gathered this carbon during its lifetime. The carbon released from the burning of wood is a natural part of the Earth’s carbon cycle. Trees can be planted to replace the ones that were consumed and they will absorb carbon from the air.
