Why choose a unit about renewable energy?
I have chosen the topic of new energy and my focus will be
new energy that is currently being used in Arizona. I chose this topic because
I think it is crucial for our future generations to be aware of sustainable
forms of energy in order to keep our earth a livable planet. I think new energy is the slowly replacing fossil fuels and we
need to be informed in order be a part of this transformation. This assignment
will further my understanding of new energy and how it is being used today in
Arizona.
Sustainability is defined in our course as “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Renewable energy is a resource that will meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future so it directly relates to sustainability. This subject is important for my future students to learn because new energy is the future. Not only is it important for students to understand renewable energy but ultimately to understand the effect humans have on our earth and how we can live a sustainable lifestyle. The topic of renewable energy can be used to multiple subject areas in school. For example, it can be included in science by understanding how each form of new energy works and also included in writing by writing a research paper that focuses on one area of new energy.
