I can also change the color of my text.

Geothermal Energy

If I could choose a source of energy for my house I would choose geothermal energy for heating. Geothermal energy is heat captured under the Earth's crust to create a power source. Not only is it renewable, but it is also cheap, uses less electricity than regular heating systems, and it doesn't pollute the air or cause any damage to the environment! With every advantage there is also a disadvantage, like for example, it may be one of the cheapest energy sources but it can be costly to install into a house but in the long run I think it would be worth it.

Energy Sources

Is global warming really an environmental problem? Oh yes it is. The climate is changing. The earth is warming up and most scientists say hat it is human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. Many people agree that climate changings are the greatest threats facing the earth. To many countries, such as Canada, Denmark, America, Norway, and Russia, that share a border with the artic ocean, many of their animal species are becoming extinct because the earth is heating up and melting their habitat. Global warming also causes earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunami's and now-a-days there seems to be alot more of these disasters happening more often. Other dangers of global warming are that it has been proven that 150,000 people die per year because of global warming, forests and other natural resources are being destroyed, and many species are being killed off. Each year global warming gets worse so even more people, resources, and animals will be killed or destroyed. Ways that I could help prevent global warming is to recycle, turn off lights when I leave a room, use less water, and buy earth friendly products instead of the regular harmful ones.
