UNIT 4: Alternative Sources of Energy open for us a new door…

  Hello sun! J Please come into my live every day!

     

     Today, solar power is the best alternative energy choice we can make. The time for solar energy is now. It´s our turn to start cutting costs and enjoy energy independence. Today, it´s our turn to take control!

      

        I don´t really know if practice number 7 is a continuation of this unit or if it´s the other way around. But they both focus on the same idea: how to make this world a better place by using alternative sources of energy.  

        The brainstorming on the renewable energy sources made me think: Which of these renewable energy technologies would be the best idea? (ground source heat pumps, wind turbines, wood-burning boilers or solar water heaters) Why don’t we incorporate all of these technologies into our lives? Unfortunately, we choose to destroy our environment in so many ways. Therefore, the question should be: Why don´t we use at least as many ways to prevent or to put an end on this?

        All the exercises I did in this unit (word study, locating information and discussion questions) improved my comprehension of the given text concerning the solar energy.

        I am sure that everyone is aware of this awful situation. Energy resources diminish day by day. We have so many ways to stop this. There are so many brilliant technologies that we can use to prevent it. So what should we do next?

        We must take action! We have to get involved into this world. We are the answer! We can change everything we want just by…loving this wonderful world we are living in. J

        I hope it´s not too much to say, but I consider this unit to be a “wake up call”, reminding us that never is too late. Now is the right time to say: “Earth I love today, tomorrow and every day!” J
