In STEAM course, Fuel, we we learned about all kinds resources, even the resources that don't benefit us. We also went to Tesla to learn about our city's main resources, and what Tesla uses to power their cars, which is solar energy. We learned the benefits and downfalls of natural gas, propane, solar energy, hydroelectric energy, and even thermal energy.
Past: 2017, 406.42
It's important to know about all kinds of resources and what resources are beneficial. It is also important to know about what we, as a society, can do to reduce carbon emissions, and our own carbon footprint.
CALCULATIONS
Past: 2017, 406.42
Present: 2018, 408.35
If we decrease 1.93 CO2 emissions a year
We can reach 350 in about 30 years. 30.23
Future: 2048, 350
(2017, 406.42)
(2018, 408.35)
(2048, 350)
408.35
350 - 408.35 = -58.35
2048 - 2018 30
Y - 406.42 > 1.93(X - 2017)
Y - 208.35 < -58.35/30.23(X - 2018)
-58.35/1.93 = -30.23
