EQ- If we continue to live the way we do now will Global Warming make the world unsustainable for humans?
THESIS-Yes, it will make it unsustainable for humans, but as a world we can stop global warming.
INTRO- Today Global Warming is affecting our world in a big way, and people are starting to recognize it more and more. This issue is affecting how long we all live on earth, and people continue to wonder if we can stop it or not. I do believe that we can stop global warming there are some things that would be an easy change in our lifestyle and some things that might be more difficult, However it is certainly possible to stop this phenomenon, the only question is if people will particitpate and make it happen.
MAJOR ARGUMENTS-
A-Mass transit numbers are on a constant rise, Car pooling
B-Global warming is also a very serious issue yet can also be solved by simple things done per capita, if people learned to conserve energy/save power or even if we could find a new source or energy, if hybrid cars were owned by more people or even used more mass transportaion we could slow down global warming by a lot
C-If business would lower their budgets then less of the forest and nature would be harmed in the process and the pollution in the air of trucks and machinery affecting global warming
D-(posssible) .The world oil consumption dropped slightly in the 1970s and then again a little more in the 1980s since then it has only increased.However if we have been able to bring the consumption down before, even if un-intentional, why can't we do it now? With all the technology we have niike hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power we could.
-The world will become unsustainable our current population is over 6.6 billion people, that means more and more pollution produced by each person more energy wasted and more oil consumed.
CONNECTIONS
-Because human population is on a constant rise, and we have reached about 6.6Billion people on our earth, there is a need for transportation for them. However recently mass transit numbers have risen and so have car sharing/pooling numbers.
-Before industrial civilization boomed in our world, air pollution and global warming wasn't an issue.
-Also before the industrial civilization we never needed more space to make factories and buildings, or tractors and trucks.
-explains it self for past...
OPV
-We have already done so much damage to the earth there is no way that we can save it
-A few people driving hybrid cars won’t make a difference

first draft esp
EQ- If we continue the way we live now, will the world be sustainable for humans for our future family?
THESIS-We can change the direction of our world if if we make big changes in our lifestyle.
MAJOR ARGUMENTS-
A-World hunger is already a huge issue in our world and in years to come it can only get worse, if we change the portions some people eat in countries like the US, and we give more to places where starvation is an issue, less and less people would die of starvation each year.
B-Global warming is also a very serious issue yet can also be solved by simple things done per capita, if people learned to conserve energy/save power or even if we could find a new source or energy, if hybrid cars were owned by more people or even used more mass transportaion we could slow down global warming by a lot

With all the technology we have niike hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power we could.
CONNECTIONS
-When the world didn't hold 6.6 billion human beings, which wasn't very long ago there were more food and resources to go around. Now because of the constant baby boom, and the selfishness of others there is less and less to share with the more unfortunate.
-Before industrial civilization boomed in our world, air pollution and global warming wasn't an issue.
-Also before the industrial civilization we never needed more space to make factories and buildings, or tractors and trucks.
-explains it self for past...
OPV
(get resources of opposing viewpoints in class) many don't think we can stop where we are headed at this point at turn around.

What is the Proper relationship between humanity and the rest of the planet
in class i said pages or words to a book beacuse i think that we make what happens to the world, and we are part of the world. So what we do kind of makes the story of our earth.
I also think that freind to freind is a good metaphor of what us to the earth should be beacuse the earth gives us everyhing and we take advantage. So we need to give back to the earth as two freinds would do. They treat eachother the same and when they give we give back.

KWH
i don't pay for my energy bill so i guess i don't really know how many kwh's but im sure it's a lot. My family tends to leave the lights on all the time, i leave the radio on all the time and the computer. But we try to stop and my mom keeps all the kitchen appliances un-plugged until she uses them, it conserves some energy.
"PowerDown" Precis
Energy conservation is rapidly becoming a bigger problem as time passes. This chapter is about our energy conservation, our worlds decline in oil, and alternative energy sources that will soon be needed in our world.Slowly but surely we will run out of oil and our worlds oil peak is nearing.
