Sustainability Fair

Last friday at my school, we had a sustainability fair on how we can make a change in our habits to be more envrionmentally friendly and the educate us on the problems our world is facing such as global warming. The thing I found most interesting at the fair was the solar power station, which demonstrated the flexibility and use of solar power in powering devices on a small scale which could be easily scaled up to alrger sizes. They even had a solar powered water heater that could heat water to a fairly hot temperature. It got me thinking about the electric car and the hybrid cars that are coming out now which use part electricity to power them other than jsut burning harmful fossil fuels. I am currently looking into solutions to global warming and ideas on how to solve this global problem with my dad and uncles.
