Silk road

LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE SILK ROAD CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE

ENERGY CRISIS THE WORLD HAS TODAY

What is the Silk Road? The Silk Road was an

international trade route between china and the
Mediterranean.
Some things that were traded were silk, from the
Chinese and glass and pottery from the Romans and
horses and cotton from the Indians

What is the energy crisis? The natural gas and oil are getting very
pricy because there is a limited recourse.

The ideas of the silk road can help solve the

energy crisis by sharing ideas.

A big thing that was happening in the silk road was cultural
diffusion, which is basically like the spreading of ideas

So if someone had an idea to spread about saving

energy, they could tell a few people and it would
spread to a few more people and so on.

ideas
One energy saving idea is
to get rid of your washer
and dryer and hand wash
and hand dry your clothes

If everyone spread the idea not to have a washer or

dryer, towns would be saving a lot of electricity.

Another energy

In Conclusion
Our earth is an amazing recourse and if
we adapt the ideas of the Silk road we
can help share ideas to save energy
and solve the energy crisis
