Dear Susan Davis:
I am writing to support the idea of enforcing renewable energy. Our district, city, state, country, and world need it!
Hello, my name is Katie Gavares. I am in sixth grade and go to High Tech Middle Media Arts in Point Loma. I really like what you have been doing to preserve the national forest, and parks, also beaches and wild life.
I am afraid that is not enough!! I think matters are a little more severe than we thought. All that you have worked on will not matter, because if we let this non-renewable energy crises go on it hurts the whole cycle of life! It starts small but everything is connected in the cycle. I think if we start to make some changes with switching to renewable energy then we can slowly move to no non-renewable energy at all. I do not expect to do that in a blink of an eye, but start small see knows what we can do!
I’d like to show you several the benefits to using renewable energy; One, the air will be much cleaner. Two, future generations will live longer and better. Three, think about the animals it is not just about us, when this global warming effect actually happens it will affect them not just us. They are losing their habitats, and each other. Four, our environment, non-renewable energy relates to global warming and that is melting our ice caps, scientists have proven that it will flood all of New York City and a lot other places on the coast line. That’s not all; this also affects our economy which is not doing too well now. Those are some benefits and effects of relying on non-renewable energy.
I am aware that some of our big factories are built so that they can only run on oil or maybe petroleum and it would cost a lot of money to change it. But I am saying that if we change everything else maybe we would have to change those factories that would cost so much to replace! Other political interferences might be that we cannot live without energy!! We rely on energy, even though it might be easier to get non-renewable or cheaper, in long term it will be way easier and way cheaper to go renewable!!
I would like to try to paint a picture in your head of what I see. So when I think of non-renewable energy I think of dark gray skies, nobody smiling because we are all in cars and there is a ton of traffic and fumes and just coming out of our engines like it is air. I see no birds flying in the sky. There are no trees in miles that I can see!! But there are skyscrapers on every corner sort of like Starbucks. Now I would like to show you what I think about when I think of renewable energy, the sky’s and baby blue, there is not a cloud in the sky and everybody is smiling. We are all on bikes or walking, there are very few people in cars and everybody in cars was in a hybrid. There are trees everywhere and it is so green. We are all HAPPY!! I hope you can see my picture that I have in my head, I know it is way too extreme but through my eyes that is what is happening already! We just need to start now and take small and steady steps to using non-renewable energy.
