It’s Your World Too, Isn’t It?
Global warming and energy are both topics that have come to light in today’s economy. They have been background noise for years, but with the recent incline in gas prices everyone is searching for a new way to save money. Therefore energy is becoming a popular topic in today’s world. People are looking for new ways to implement energy into the things that the public use on a daily basis to help establish a new efficient way to save money and still use the things they love. Fully functional electric cars have been brought to the front as one of the main examples of this type of utilization of energy.
However, with people searching for a new way to use energy to help the economy, other people are looking to protect energy. Greenpeace is one of these organizations. They work on five founding principles. They work towards these goals: increase human well-being, fair energy access for all, respect for natural limits, phase out dirty dangerous fuels, and use proven existing renewable energy (Greenpeace International n.d.). According to Greenpeace International (n.d.) the overall common goal is to help use no more energy than the earth can provide while limiting the use of fossil fuels and help to include everyone, even those left without power, in their scheme of a fossil-fuel based energy system while using technology that is already proven to work. This will help protect the atmosphere as well because this plan uses the goal to not place more into the atmosphere than the earth can take back.
Every person should approach this situation with the overall goal of the world in mind. Where sometimes it gets hard to protect the world from every harmful thing, if each person starts by changing one thing, it can help to change the world. This goes farther than global warming and energy. It can start with something as simple as recycling or not
