- By using renewable energy, humans decrease their use of fossil fuels which helps fight climate change.

- As sea ice melts, sea levels continue to rise and water continues to grow water, altering various habitats and ecosystems. 

- To increase renewable energy efforts, the government may have to step in to create regulations and laws to pave the way.]]> 2022-10-03 23:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/savannaheverhart/pv946xlb3mxzlfvh/wish/2324668572 savannaheverhart https://padlet.com/savannaheverhart/pv946xlb3mxzlfvh/wish/2324691447 Students will create a commercial to persuade their TV audience that they need to use renewable energy sources, rather than burning fossil fuels.
