Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! One thing I'm thankful for is all of the readers that have checked out our blog so far, so thanks everyone! Second, on my way up to Washington to visit some family, I noticed some new structures - wind turbines! It's great to see how many people are beginning to use this renewable resource. I took some pictures, so more info on that will be coming soon! Thanks again.

Starting Video Interviews

Hi again everyone. Today, part of my group and I went out and began filming our first video interviews! However, it was a slow process. Throughout the day, many people either avoided us or came up with some excuse to avoid answering our questions. Nonetheless, we did have a few people that agreed to stay, and they had some insightful answers. After a few interviews were completed, my group and I decided to call it a day. Thanks everyone! It's back to editing for me.

Start Them While They're Young

Hello, I am also a student form NUAMES, and I'm going to tell you more about our ideas for alternative energy solutions. The energy source that we find to be the best is wind energy. It is very efficient and is non-polluting. We think that schools should be the starting place for a wind energy program. It would educate the youth about renewable energy sources, what better way to change the world, but to start with the youth. Right now I'm working on going to a 5th grade elementary class to teach them about wind power. Have you ever heard the saying "start them while they're young", we believe its true, and that it is the best way to get our ideas going. What do you think?

Welcome

Hi everyone. I'm a high school student that goes to NUAMES (Northern Utah Academy of Math Engineering and Science). Over the past couple of months, we've been working on a plan to change our way of living. In America, we consume and use nonrenewable resources at an alarming rate. To some, this is the cause for the slowly rising temperature of our Earth. However, we have a plan to help combat this rising problem: wind power in schools. We need to help educate students about renewable resources, and the great benefit they can have on society. Our solution can't come from the leaders of today, but need to come from the leaders of tomorrow. Over the next few months we'll help you all to stay informed about our progress as well as how you can help. Thanks!
