How America is Going Green

  1.  The first and easy thing we can do is going digital. Going digital means a huge amount of reductions of paper and also less trees are cut down. 91 percent of people around the ages 12-25 have phones. Some schools are going to give every student a tablet or a chrome book to take home and will have to bring it every day. The tablets or the chrome book  of every student, and college students will have access to all sorts of apps that they can type and categorize their notes. By the year  2030 all the schools around America will or will almost be modern and have a less carbon foot print.
  2. Second is to stop drinking bottled water. Bottled water produces massive amounts of container waste. 25% of the package water is tapped water. By changing to a hydro your eliminating the need of buying bottled water. Also if you switch to using a filtration system in your house you would annually save between $2,500-3,000 every year. Also some plastic water bottles with exposed to heat will leak harmful chemicals.
  3. Implementing solar panels help to lower the cost of your electricity bill and help out by reducing your carbon foot print by a little bit. California Governor Brown just passed a law that says that any new house built in California starting in the year 2020 will be forced to have solar panels. Also if you live in California is giving you a rebate if you put on your house a solar system.
