Only a small proportion of the enrgy we use is renewable, but it has been growing quite quickly.
First, this type of energy was very expensive, so the government gave subsidies to encourage people to use this energy. Now, the technology has improved and the energy is cheaper, so the government don't give subsidies anymore.]]> 2017-03-19 20:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pilarhc35/z0s8671pext9/wish/161027226 pilarhc35 https://padlet.com/pilarhc35/z0s8671pext9/wish/161027588 It's extracting minerals, ore and fossil fuels from the ground.

Impact on the environment:

-Chemicals are used to extract the copper, and they pollute the air and ground around the mine.]]> 2017-03-19 20:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pilarhc35/z0s8671pext9/wish/161027588 pilarhc35 https://padlet.com/pilarhc35/z0s8671pext9/wish/161028169 Manufacturing requires raw materials an energy
