'to replace petroleum and coal' - Questbridge! Change one thing in your community [NEW]
If you could change one thing about your community, what would it be and why?
I've always had a passion for the planet, especially trying to find ways to preserve it. Alternative energy is a big thing to me; it's the one thing that can make the biggest positive change to the earth at the fastest pace. I love nature and I take photos of it all the time. I want to keep the planet clean and prospering, I think alternative energy is the best way to do it.
I want to replace conventional polluting energy with clean alternative energy solutions. I hate how people know about the dangers of toxic fumes and waste and how they continue to do it regardless of the consequences. If I could change my community, I would replace all unhealthy energy sources or large polluters (cars) with ecofriendly solutions.
I want to replace petroleum and coal with clean electricity, wind and solar power. Make all cars electric and all electricity clean. I wish more than anything for my community to be a completely green community. There would be so many benefits; it would have an amazing domino effect.
Jobs would be created, many jobs to convert the current community to an organic environmentally friendly place. This would stimulate our community immensely, giving basic and advanced jobs to people of all ages. Our government gain tax revenue from these new jobs, then more money can go to ours local school, roads, libraries etc. cleaning up our community. A cleaner nicer place would inspire less crime and a completely ecofriendly town could inspire tourism to see how we were able to do it, generating more revenue that would be able to play off our debts from the conversion and later a good profit. The community would be a much better place and nature would show the positive effects.
I know there are costs to my plans but I think the benefits out way them tenfold. I would make replace unhealthy conventional energies and large polluters with green solutions in a heartbeat! I know that doing such things may be nearly impossible, but as Walt Disney said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
I think it sound s kind of childish, can anyone help me make it sound a bit better? or fix any other issues lol thanks!
