Energy, The Environment, and Your Role


The earth's ecosystems are more fragile than most people realize. Even a small change in the environment can have substantial impacts on the lives of various plants and animal species. Humans affect the environment every day, particularly when they utilize natural resources for the production of energy. For example, burning natural gas generates carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming, which makes it harder for animals in the arctic regions to survive. This does not mean we should stop utilizing energy sources, but it does mean we need to be conscious of the way our energy consumption impacts other species. We founded this website to increase that consciousness. Start reading to learn more.
