Green energy

                                                                                                                          Did you know that Seventy
         ❑Meaning                                                                                                          of the top 100 food crops

         Green energy comes from natural sources such as                                                                   grown worldwide rely on
         sunlight,       wind,      rain,     tides,     plants,      algae     and                                            pollinators, this is
         geothermal heat. These energy resources are                                                                      equivalent to 90 percent of
         renewable, meaning they're naturally replenished. In                                                                the world’s nutrition?
         contrast, fossil fuels are a finite resource that take
         millions of years to develop and will continue to
         diminish with use.
         ❑Importance

         Renewable energy also helps conserve the nation's
         natural resources. It provides reliable power supplies
         and fuel diversification, which enhance energy
         security and lower risk of fuel spills while reducing
         the need for imported fuels. It also helps conserve
         the nation's natural resources.
         ❑Benefits

          • Generating energy that produces no greenhouse
              gas emissions from fossil fuels and reduces some
              types of air pollution.

          • Diversifying           energy        supply        and       reducing
              dependence on imported fuels.

          • Creating economic development and jobs in
              manufacturing, installation, and more.
