    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

    The website is short and to the point, what i really like about this article is that it is easy to read, compared to the other "sustainability" websites that have so much jargon.
  •  
    this website was easy to understand and interesting all at the same time. It gives a run down on the technology that is being applied now to help the the sustainability within our environment. This is also gives a sneak peek into what technology that they plan to improve on and introduce hopefully within the near future.

    All the waste that has been going on only means that more energy is lost in the form of food than is stored in all the nation's offshore oil and gas reserves. Food waste isn't just harmful to our environment but we're also buring more energy than we can produce.

Food Waste and Energy - 1 views

  •  
    Eating all the food on your plate and how you can help in the consumption wasted each year, and what you can do about it. Save oil, water , time , and your wallet. This article pertains to these key terms and the energy that people constantly waste.
  •  
    Americans push technology and sometimes their wallets to the limit to pursue energy frugality. But if you examine your plate, you could easily save fuel. The power that it takes to grow food, move it all over the country, process it, sell it, store it and then eventually scrape it into the trash is a major problem in the U.S.

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