Green energy, also called renewable energy, comes from natural sources that don’t run out and don’t pollute the Earth. Some examples include:
• Solar power – energy from the sun
• Wind power – energy from moving air
• Hydropower – energy from moving water
• Geothermal energy – heat from deep inside the Earth These energy sources don’t produce harmful gases and are much better for the environment. Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. they also release a lot of carbon dioxide making the planet hotter and causes problems like melting ice glaciers, stronger storms, and rising sea levels. Green energy helps us:
• Reduce pollution
• Fight climate change
• Protect animals and nature
Even as kids we should work forward to a greener future and make our lives sustainable ones
