Alternative Energy by https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k The website Alternative Energy is about global warming. en-us 2018-04-17 17:19:30 UTC 2023-05-24 01:38:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png Introduction asteiner22 https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252690449 Do you like coastal areas? Do you want your descendants to not have penguins? If so, than stop using fossil fuels. Alternative energy is a sustainable substitute for fossil fuels. Alternative energy is a better energy source then gas for logical, emotional, moral reasons. The earth is slowly being destroyed by blind people who have the option to help. You can do something about it.]]> 2018-04-17 17:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252690449 Ethical easoning asteiner22 https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252692675 Using fossil fuels has negative effects on the entire earth. Our oceans, weather, food, and health are being badly damaged because the heat is melting the polar ice caps and making coastal areas more susceptible to droughts, the oceans water is heating up and killing the fish. People's health will decline because if we drink polluted water or breath in polluted air,  you can become sick. Also when more people use gas cars, the polar ice caps will melt faster, because the carbon in the atmosphere is magnifying the suns heat and therefore making it hotter. In the near future food the prices of food will go up. This evidence proves that using fossil fuels is has negative effects on the earth, so you should take action and help the earth. ]]> 2018-04-17 17:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252692675 Emotional Reasoning asteiner22 https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252695466 If you do not use renewable energy then you should feel guilty and sad because you are killing the earth. The polar ice caps has gotten smaller because of the greenhouse effect, destroying the penguin and the polar bears habitat. This shows that the penguins and the polar bears will be extinct. Since the polar ice caps are melting,  the sea levels are rising destroying coastal areas as a result. In conclusion this evidence supports that the environment is being destroyed and you should use  renewable energy. ]]> 2018-04-17 17:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252695466 Logical Reasoning asteiner22 https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252695907 Renewable energy is a fully logical source of energy. When the gas in cars are being released, more carbon is entering the atmosphere, which means it will just keep getting hotter. Furthermore the sun is a unlimited source of power which means we cannot run out of it, but we can run out of gas. This shows that alternative energy is perfect for when a gas shortage happens. In conclusion, renewable energy is a fully logical source of energy, and you should use it.]]> 2018-04-17 17:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252695907 Counter claim asteiner22 https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252696289  One might object here that wind power is not always blowing and solar energy is not always being generated. The wind is not always blowing and the sun is not always shining ("Can Alternative", Procon.org). However, if you do use alternative energy the effects will be monumental. Although alternative energy is expensive it won't run out.]]> 2018-04-17 17:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/252696289 Video asteiner22 https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/253927648 2018-04-20 17:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/253927648 Work Cited asteiner22 https://padlet.com/asteiner22/9rjz9n07sl6k/wish/253932183 Works Cited
