The Problem and Solution to Pollution

      In my Fuel class, unit 3, this is my last action project for my STEAM course. In this unit, it was centrally focused on pollution and various pollutants. We also focused on pollution's causes and effects on the environment, which I felt to be impactful because it allowed me to understand how I contribute to the environment. For this project, I was told to create an action plan to reduce the Earth’s concentration of carbon from 400 ppm to 350 ppm. Throughout this process, I was able to understand my carbon output and how I can reduce it. I found that you and the environment can benefit from energy efficient appliances. I found it to be a struggle to find the correct data as to how much carbon can be reduced from various solutions, but I ultimately was able to gather all of the necessary information. I am very happy as to how my project turned out.
