REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Mehdi Firozvi 2/16/2026 2:38 PM
From what I understand, most of the electricity generated in my area comes from natural gas. Although natural gas is still a fossil fuel, it emits much less carbon dioxide than coal. I've heard a lot about the fracking that results from natural gas production, and this often leads to contaminated groundwater and habitat fragmentation. I think, overall, it has a positive impact on humans because it provides extremely cheap electricity and produces far fewer air pollutants than coal.

Energy

What are other ways you could use the power of the sun to reduce your own environmental footprint?

One immediate idea is using solar panels to replace fossil-fuel electricity with renewable energy. Another thing you could do is use solar transportation, specifically electric vehicles. These are fairly difficult to implement, so one that seems simple is air-drying your clothes instead of using a machine.

Hopefully, over the course of the challenge, these actions can become a habit for me
