• RED SLIDE: These are notes that are very
important and should be recorded in your
science journal.

-Nice neat notes that are legible and use indentations
when appropriate.
-Example of indent.
-Skip a line between topics
-Don’t skip pages
-Make visuals clear and well drawn. Please label.

 Hydropower.

 Vortex Power.

 Damless Hyrdropower.

 Ocean thermal energy conversion.

 Wave Energy.

 Tidal Energy.

 Wind.

• Wind is most everywhere, and can be
harnessed.

 Solar Chimney.

• Can plant in giant greenhouse.
• Plants will require water.

• Video (Optional) Solar Chimney Tour

 Solar Thermal.

• What is this? How does it work?

• Activity! Using a solar cooker to cook up a
snack if the sun is just right.

 Solar Photovoltaic.

 Geothermal.

 Liquid Biofuels.

 Biobutanol
 Sweet Sorghum (food and fuel)

• Used vegetable oil from a fryer can be
used to create biodiesel for a diesel
engine. Requires some additives in the
process.

• The United States has plenty of farmland
for growing plants for bio-fuels.
– Don’t forget about growing food to fuel us.

• Video (Optional) Making Bio-diesel

• Outdoor wood boiler. Uses wood to heat
home and hot water.

– Benefits are that it’s considered carbon
neutral. Negatives -particulates, unsightly at
times, air pollutants.

 - Biogasification

• Algae Biogas.
– Digesters produce flammable gas.
– Algae is the fuel source and abundant on Earth.

• Nuclear (kind of clean / renewable)

– Nuclear waste needs to stored away forever.

– Nuclear waste needs to stored away forever.
– Nuclear material is not an abundant resource.

• Note – This is water vapor coming from the
cooling towers.

• What will mobility be like in 2088?

• Video! – Mobility in 2088.
– Is this a Honda advertisement?

• Activity! (Optional)
– Create a model of the concept car for 2088 at
home with adult supervision.
– Carve your model out of soap with a knife.
• Dove and Dial work well.
– Always cut away from yourself or others.
– Sketch your model with marker on soap before
carving. Tell us about your car tomorrow.

• What can you do?

• Make environmental choices.

• Don’t fight changing to a sustainable
system.
– Make the environment a priority in your life.

• Avoid NDD – Nature Deficit Disorder, that
means get outside.

“What level are
we on again.”

“Wait.” “We beat
this game
yesterday.”

“Not really, Let’s
just beat it
again.”

• Find out what’s really important?
• I’ll give you a hint, it’s not your stuff.

• Awareness of the problem is key.
–Become educated and environmentally
ethical.

• Reinvent Everything!

• Don’t be gloomy about the whole situation,
Be aware, and be active in change.

• Don’t be gloomy about the whole situation,
Be aware, and be active in change.
– People are talking about environmental
change. Help keep the ball rolling.

“This whole
unit is dumb”
“We can just
find a new
planet”.

It would take 120,000 years for the
space shuttle to reach the next
closest star.

closest star. Relocation is not an
option.

closest star. Relocation is not an
option. I think taking care of our
home sounds like a better idea.

• “The Pale Blue Dot”

• Pledge (Optional) Makes sense to do it
everyday instead of just on Earth Day.
