    Its amazing to think that coal is is responsible for 80% of Chinas energy source. This results in China paying 2 billion a year.

    China definitely needs to take another look at how they control some parts of the country. I agree with Ivan, it's costing the country so much unnecessary financial farm it's crazy. Great read.

    I can't believe it is costing so much for them to use the coal. I wonder if this is why the cities always look so polluted and foggy? Very interesting article!

    This was a interesting article changing the way indoor environment is seem like a weird way to do thing but the way it is explained seems like it helps. Like using the light self brightens the ceiling and also keeps less heat in the room by changing the direction of the glare.

    this article interested me because my mom is in the medical field and it discusses how places can be more Eco friendly and beneficial to the earth. This article brings up several ways that buildings can be more Eco by using lighting that self's adjust therefore using less energy and less heat because they wont be on 24/7.

    While reading this article I have realized many companies have been going the Eco- friendly route. On the way to work I saw the VA hospital have solar panels on the overheads in the parking lot. I also see a lot of churches installing solar panels.
  • Andrea Manginelli on 28 Mar 14
     
    I love the comments made in this article. I agree with the author when she states that people have to look at the solar panels as part of the system on the building and not as something added on.

    We use energy for everything. We use energy to treat our water , grow our food, produces and to go to place to place. In general we want our community to develop more diverse, reliable, and cleaner sources of energy; to reduce energy usage; and to improve efficiency.

    As you said and the article says energy is so important to us to keep life going. Creating a better source of energy would be a big advancement to help this cause. It is great that other cities are taking action to make a change.
  • Cameron Murray on 21 Mar 14
     
    This article explains the importance of energy greatly, and the fact there is more to energy than "keeping the lights on". Energy needs to be sustainable for the future generations needs of energy, the need for energy won't go away.
  • patricia kelly on 22 Mar 14
     
    I tried to see what was important on this article but it wasn't very easy for me personally to grasp. I see that you 3 did find the point of the sustainability with electricity. I find it funny that we are always leaving lights on when we leave a room and think nothing of it until we are told it will save us money or that we are wasting something we really take for granted.
  • Raymond Laborin on 22 Mar 14
     
    This article states that sustainability and energy interconnect in many ways. I agree with Dominique we use energy for everything we do, but hopefully we don't take advantage of the resources we have now and end up leaving are future heirs high and dry.

    This article talks about global warming in Arizona and that do to heat heat rising in Arizona it is in a way lower property value. This article reminds me of the myth sustainability is about the environment.
  • Donnie Druin on 22 Mar 14
     
    Global warming, depending on who you talk to, is a myth or a fact. People love the fact that they can own some property in a southwestern state such as Arizona, and flock here during the cold winter months. With that being said, the heat is something that drives away potential buyers every year.

    The McDonalds corpooration is moving to produce more sustainable beef, but didnt give an actual defintion at first. They worked with a Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) to come up with a definition which is "stable, safe employment for at least the minimum wage where applicable" and institute "where applicable, third-party validation of practices by all members of the value chain."

    This site explains what the governments role is in helping sustainability. The government has gradually minimizing pollution imposed by industry. It also reminds us, the citizens to take our own role in supporting the government.
  • Demarcus Hughes on 22 Mar 14
     
    Good idea of using the image of the government to support sustainability for the people to look at them and follow. Using the government to help companies do better in reducing pollutions.
