Team+6+Action+Plan



Plan not plane Here's the action plane.

The people that need to take care of the enviomental problems are the governement and the people. What actions that should be taken are laws created. For example a type of law would be one that would limit the amount of greenhouse gases are emitted by a company each year. Also there could be another law to increase alternative energies over time or else the economy would be worse. This is because according to [] "the renewable sector would need to grow 19% per year for 22 years consecutively to meet U.S. demand by the year 2030" so we need to adjust the country to alternatives. Also people need to step up and do things at home to stop global warming. Some things that can be done are lightbulbs can be changed to the energy effiecint ones, cars can be bought to have better gas emissions, and people can get solar panels installed.

__**Advantages and Disadvantages:**__ The advantages to this plan are that greenhouse gases will be reduced.  Also if we plan the switch to alternative energies well enough throughout the coming years we can generate many more jobs. As Van Jones, President of Green for All, said earlier this year, “A well thought out shift to a clean energy economy offers more work, more wealth and better health to disadvantaged communities than does any plausible, business-as-usual scenario...” With that said not only would we be doing more justice to our planet, but to our economy. Also the current energy source we have, fossil fuels, won't be around forever anyways so making the most of alternative energies is not only green but most alternative energies pay themeselves back in the long run, and even though some may not want to deal with waiting through the short-term which would deal with more spending if enough people and the government support this plan we can have a better future.( [])

Disadvantages are that it will cost money, which is somthing that we don't really have to spend. Also types of alternative energies have problems themselves. For example wind energie sounds like a great idea but the wind turbines make a lot of noise and you need a lot of them to make enough energy ([]). Also nuclear energy is dangerous. Three Mile Island and Chernobyl were incidences of nuclear energy gone wrong. Three Mile Island was a close call and nobody was killed but Chernobyl killed 31 initally and the radiation could kill many more people to come ([]). Also one of the other possible problems with this plan is that it requires major support from the people to get it to work. If the people decide that they don't want to work for this then this whole plan could stop working, this is why for this plan we really would need to get a strong backing and make people aware of environmental issues and what will help.

Our Action Plan can be implimented by laws that help the Earth become greener. Also if the economy picks up then that could help our action plan too as spending more would not be a big problem like it is now. Also the people need to help the environment themselves, even if its only in small ways. One such ways could be going to the local farmers market, for us that could be either The Coventry Farmers' Market ([]) or the Puntam Farmers market ([]).


 * ACTION PLAN STEP BY STEP:**

1. (People) People need to become more aware of how things hurt their environment. 2. (People) People need to do things that are greener for the environment. 3. (People) Elect people to Congress who care about the environment. 4. The economy has to improve (can such with step 5). 5. (Government) Bills need to be introduced into Congress to increase alternative energies over time and regulate greehouse gas emmisions from things like cars and factories (can switch with step 4). 6. (Government) Pass the bills and have the President sign them. 7. (People) People need to obey the laws.
