一分鐘問卷回饋，幫助兒童世界報報變更好：https://forms.gle/poLauJZixdbhsCC66 Junior 特派員Daphne姊姊的暑期課程的心得分享： Hi, I’m Daphne! This summer I took a course on renewable energy, and I would like to share what it is, and why it is becoming more important in our lives ! Right now, fossil fuels supply the majority of our world’s energy. This is a problem, because fossil fuels emit Carbon Dioxide, which causes the earth act like a greenhouse. Greenhouses have the ability to trap heat inside and are used to grow plants when it can be really cold. But, when the earth becomes more and more like a greenhouse it heats up and makes the earth's temperatures rise. This is called global warming, which is an aspect of climate change.  So, now we know that although fossil fuels are useful in helping us fuel our cars, and use electricity for our daily life things, they are extremely bad for the environment.  Besides that, fossil fuels, which consist of natural gas, oil, and coal are considered non renewable energies. This means that it is not an unlimited energy source, and once used up, it is gone. Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals, and take millions of years of pressure to turn into fossil fuels. Currently, we are using fossil fuels way too fast, and these fossil fuels are not being replenished at the same rate. So, one day we will run out of fossil fuels. THis means that not only are fossil fuels bad for the environment, they are also non renewable, so we need to find other sources of energy that can help power the world! This is where renewable energy comes in. Renewable energy is a type of energy that uses sources that can be replenished faster than they are used, so they never run out. They are also better for the environment because they do not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.There are many different types of renewable energy. For example, solar energy! Solar energy is a type of renewable energy, because it uses sun rays, which can be used over and over again. There are also other types of renewable energy, such as wind energy, tidal energy, and more!  In my class, my final project was to choose a country and convert their fossil fuel energy into a mix of solar or wind energy. I initially wanted to choose Taiwan, but because we have such a large semiconductor industry, and we do not use a lot of renewable energy, my teacher asked me to choose a different country. In the end I chose Belgium! Belgium does not have a lot of sun, so I mostly implemented wind energy in the country.  But, since Taiwan is so hot, I would probably implement more solar panels here so we can harness solar energy from the sun! Thank you for listening to me, and I hope we can continue to all learn more about the environment and what we can do to help! ▌幫助節目走更遠更久 ? 贊助支持送屏大薄鹽醬油 https://open.firstory.me/join/broadcast4kids ?‍? 合作洽談 broadcastforkids@gmail.com ☕️ 來找我們玩 https://www.facebook.com/broadcast4kids ?‍?‍?分享節目給更多人 https://open.firstory.me/user/broadcast4kids/platforms Support this show: https://open.firstory.me/user/cl64nlc3v02jb01uhbqr0d15i Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cl64nlc3v02jb01uhbqr0d15i/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting
