4 Essential Questions

  1. What, specifically about your topic, are you going to research? I am going to research gas mileage, how to improve gas mileage and what impacts can higher or lower gas mileage can effect Earth.
  2. What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference? Be specific. Drive Sensibly(not driving more aggressive), Observe the Speed Limit(don't drive over 60 mph), Remove Excess Weight(don't carry excess weight like if you have things in your trunk you don't need), Use Cruise Control(helps maintain highway speed);saves you money(more aware don't use as much spend less), reduces climate change(less CO2 in the air), reduces oil depedence costs(use less oil costs go down because less demand), increases energy sustainability(make a oil substitute faster).
  3. What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations? CO2 emissions would rise, ozone would depleat, Earth would get hotter, sea level would rise, cities would be underwater, economy from that city would be gone.
  4. What would happen if, best-case scenario, everybody listened to your recommendations? Everyone would start using renewable resources, ozone would reconstruct, polar ice caps wouldn't melt, Antarctica and Iceland would stay, Economy would stay.
