The Power of

Alternative Energy
With Timmy Gaynor, Ben Campana, Emerson
Staley, Madi Salinas, Evelyn Jones, and
Rebecca Gomez
Costa Rica connection

We went to Costa Rica in January of 2019

We visited Earth University where and that is where we started to talk about our
projects.
Why We Chose Alternative Energy

● After visiting Costa Rica, we all realized that alternative energy is the
solution to defeat climate change.
● Like how EARTH University harnessed methane gas from waste products, it
is easier than it seems to steer away from fossil fuels.
The Global Impact

➢ Air Pollution

➢ Thermal Pollution

➢ Oils Spill

➢ Global Warming
