RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES NONRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
TYPES solar energy, wind, hydro-eletric,
geothermo, biomass, air and water
ADVANTAGES 
clean, because they do not
produce any pollution
 cheap
 never run out
 non-pollutant, produce
minimal or no waste
products
 don't contribute to global
warming
 low-maintenance energy
sources
DISADVANTAGES most renewable energy
generators are expensive to set
up. Also,
unreliable weather can affect
energy supply. It's hard to
produce the same amounts as
non-renewable sources. It can be
difficult to generate quantities of
electricity that are as large as
those produced by traditional
fossil fuel generators.
BIOMASS
PROS
fossil fuels can be replaced by it
Carbon-neutral source of energy
helps in waste management
reliability
Biomass is plant or animal material used as fuel to produce electricity or heat. Examples are wood,
energy crops and waste from forests, yards, or farms.
coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear fuel,
minerals (iron ore)
 high in energy
 huge profits can be generated in
the mining of coal, selling of oil or
the construction of natural gas
pipelines
 easy to use/ find/ store
 very cost effective price
 job creating, extracting
transporting and refining are the
parts of their own renewable
sources that provide employment
One of the major disadvantages of non
renewable energy that it's time
consuming. Non renewable energy can
be dangerous and cause respiratory
problems to human, they are rapidly
destroy the ozone layer, many of them
creates smoke which envelopes the
buildings and other important things,
their shipping can be risky because they
are deadly for the sea animals and they
can be expensive and occupy a lot of
space. Moreover, there are a lot of health
risks.
CONS
it still releases CO2
deforestation, seasonality
cost (storage facilities, construction and
operating)
space requirements
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Geothermal energy is the heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth. It is contained in the rocks 
and fluids beneath the earth’s crust and can be found as far down to the earth’s hot molten rock,
magma 
 dug a mile deep into underground reservoirs to access the steam and
hot water there, which can then be used to drive turbines connected to electricity generators 
PROS CONS
renewable, environmental friendly  it’s location restricted , expensive

provides a continuous, uninterrupted supply o there are many of these gases 
f heat  stored under the Earth’s surface 
that can be used to heat homes which are released into
and office buildings and to generate electricity  the atmosphere during digging

heating and cooling  can cause mini earthquakes in the area and 
low CO2 emission/pollution level  surface instability 

no fuel is required  needs to be properly managed to maintain its sustai
nability

Hydropower (uses the energy of running and falling water) 

Pro   Con 
 renewable    expensive to build and must be
 price stability  built to very high standards 
 doesn’t pollute the air   in some countries people have
 domestic source of to move out so that it is possible to
energy à each state produces their build the power plant 
own   flood risk 
 it only uses  disrupt wildlife habitat 
water doesn’t consume it   may alter the water temperature
 most reliable: it is constant unlike and the rivers flowà may harm
sun and wind Except in case of native plants and animals in the river
drought  and on the shore 
 creates lakes à tourist attraction    dams can made in limited areas 
 plants on the bottom of the lake
decompose àmethane, carbon 
SOLAR ENERGY-the transformation of heat, the energy that comes from the sun 
PROS CONS
Reduces Electricity Bills  Weather Dependent (no sun, no energy) 
Natural (Sun)  Solar Energy Storage is Expensive 
Low Maintenance Costs  Uses a Lot of Space 
Long lifespan  Associated with Pollution 

WIND ENERGY : is the use of wind to provide mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric ge
nerators for electrical power. 

PROS  CONS 
RENEWABLE & CLEAN ENERGY SOURCE  INTERMITTENT (THEY ARE RELIANT ON WEATHER) 
LOW OPERATING COST  NOISE & VISUAL POLLUTION 
EFFICIENT USE OF LAND SPACE (IT EXPANDS SOME ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT (THE
UPWARD)  BLADES ARE LARGE AND QUICK AND THEY CAN KILL
BIRDS OR BATS THAT FLY INTO THEM) 
CAN BE PLACED IN THE SEA  NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE, ONLY WHERE THERE
IS STRONG WIND 
THE ELECTRICITY THAT IS GENERATED CAN BE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE TO PLANT 
STORED IN UNDERGROUND CAVERN 

3RS:

Endangerement:

Causes:

 natural: climate/environment change, natural selection

 human activities: deforestation, illigal hunting, poaching, building of cities, pollution, overfishing,
invasive species

What can we do?

 conservation (act of protecting species from endengerement preserving biodiversity)

 wildlife parks/ national parks
 breeding programmes

Making City Greener

Transport

• Reliable transit: to reduce emissions and road congestions

• Introduction of using electric cars and especially buses

• Car control: find a way to limit the number of cars

• More and safer bike lanes, Good walking and biking connections in the cities

• Cleaner public transport

Recycling

• Recycle water for industrial use

Composting: reusing your left over food scraps and yard waste to produce fertilizer

•  Composting indoor: using a special type of bin

Parks

• Connect with nature

• Lunges of cities - Clean the air

• Feel less crowded

A big part of making our city more eco-friendly is that we advertise it so that people can join and
support our cause. First of all for this to happen we need green leadership, a city government
who leads by makig an example. They should encourage economies, finacially support
organizations and agree with their cause.
Secondly, we need to draw people’s attention and show them that being ecofriendly is not only
about hard work. We can hold green days where we can celebrate the green and healthy lifestyles
and the progress we are making. We can celebrate eco-friendly lifestyles with farmers' markets
full of tasty (and unusual) treats, bars and restaurants serving the best organic fare, intriguing
exhibits by ecologically minded artists, and music festivals that offer bike valet parking and
solar-powered stages.
Renewable eregy

• Residents of houses with solar panels should bear less taxes, also the building of solar panels
should get interest-free trust

• Big companies should be committed to pay the building of passive houses – yearly number
based on yearly income

• Free parking for all electric cars and the ones using biomass 

• Small wind turbines on the top of the houses where they could be efficient

How to make our homs greener?

Install a smart meter

 can be programmed so that they only turn your heating on at certain times of the day

 reduce your carbon footprint and decrease your energy bills

Use less chemicals, harmful cleaning products

 Using harmful chemicals to clean is very bad for the environment
 When you wash them away you are simply putting them into the water supply

Insulate
 Good insulation helps hold in the heat, meaning you don’t need to burn
energy reheating the home all of the time
 double glazing any windows that don’t already have it
 consider covering any exposed hardwood floors in southwest area rugs

Compost, garden, collect rainwater, recycle

Cook intelligently
 Don’t open an oven door during cooking → you will not lose heat
 instead of coffee pods use a drip coffee maker
 Plant a simple backyard garden
 It’s good to know where our food originates
 No shipping, no chemicals, no packaging
 Find or start a Food Swap in your area - Trade with other people who grow their own food

Line dry your laundry

Stop using disposable bags: get some reusable 
Stop buying plastic bottles: buy a reusable water bottle
Turn off lights when you leave the room/use natural light
walk or ride a bike for errands two miles or closer
Unplug unused chargers and appliances
Use cloth napkins  instead of paper
Repurpose glass jars  as leftover containers and bulk storage
Use a menstrual cup
Reusable pads
Period panties
SCOOL MORE SUSTAINABLE

 teaching primary schoolers about the enviroment
Energy saving in school
 Take advantage of natural sunlight - turn everything off when you leave the room
 Keeping the lights off will keep the room cooler during the September heat.
 Switch to LEDs
o Save up to 75% on power bills
o Lasts much longer than a non-led
o Quite small
o Very bright
o The color is more similar to the natural sunlight
