 **3.How does community ACT towards this problem.**

 * SYNTHESISED INFORMATION **


 * The world is trying to help creating programs to avoid wasting energy. For example: **
 * ** In the United States there is a law that is named clean air act, it consist on making regulations for the air emissions. **
 * **In Europe there is a learning program that help schools monitor their use of energy and to save energy.**
 * ** Energy Star Lighting is a program in Massachusetts that instal saving bulbs without sacrificing homes design. Energy efficient bulbs use 75 percent less energy and last as much as 10 times longer than other bulbs. You´ll save energy and this efficient bulbs would lower energy costs. **
 * ** In Wales there is a program called Community scale renewable energy which lower your costs, deliver cheaper energy and emissions are reduced. **
 * **There is a new program that transform waste to energy. Waste to energy programe replace fossil fuels.This program reduces TONS of Co2.**

**Me and my group interview Andres Perez ( Director Administrativo ) from CCB school.**

**CCB school is trying to help to reduce the waste of energy at school. Until now the school changed:**


 * **The new constructed areas since 2000 were installed with efficient bulbs such as:**
 * **The cafeteria**
 * **The gym**
 * **The Ludot-k**
 * **Most of the bulbs of Bach, Primary and Kindergaden are efficient bulbs.**


 * As you can see the school changed most of the lightening system for saving energy. Now with so many constructed areas school would waste an excessive quantity of energy but efficient bulbs are a big advantage. **

**Waste to energy program is a program that avoid climate change and the global warming. It replaces fossil fuels.**


 * Countries are doing their best to reduce greenhouse effects by using Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) made from combustible solid wastes to produce energy. The EU has set the goal of reducing 320million tons of CO2 through the waste to energy program by 2010. **

**//Program Expected to Deliver to Customers Significant Savings in Annual Bills// **

 * // More than 25,000 residential NSTAR customers in Eastern Massachusetts began receiving comparative Home Energy Reports as part of an innovative new energy efficiency program. // **


 * ENERGY STAR light bulbs save lots of energy without sacrificing the design of your home. Energy-efficient bulbs use 75 percent less energy and last as much as 10 times longer than other bulbs. So you'll save on energy and reduce costs. **

====Not only is it important for you to save electricity, but it's also important for your entire community to save electricity. If all the Schools and businesses in your community worked together to save energy, it would really help the fight against global warming! ==== ====There are things we can do to make sure our community ( school) is working hard to save electricity. Remember, when we save electricity we help stop global warming! and that will be great for future generations! ====

=
Such as: Find out if the school buildings use solar energy,if it has a plan to put into action when electricity use gets really high, Ask teachers if the teach their students about renewable resources of energy such as wind power and solar energy, and if not to teach them. =====

 * The United States has laws to reduce energy impact on the environment. The most important law is the Clean Air Act, which control air emissions from most power plants. **


 * The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets emissions standards for power plants through many programs, such as [|the Acid Rain Program] . These reduce emissions of air pollutants in the United States. **

**There are programs now being released to encourage more schools to become energy, and monitor their energy use. Schools are on of the biggest organisations to use energy, on a daily basis. With lights in classrooms, temperatures needing to be kept at a certain degree for the children, cars used by teachers, mini buses used by pupils as well as many other areas, schools need their energy monitored.**

**In Europe there is a Sustainable Learning program is changing set up to help schools monitor their energy use, change it and save money.**
=== **Currently this program helps to take control of energy and water costs by getting everyone involved. From the summer term currently in play the program will become bigger and better! A link up of schools across the continent and help to tackle transport and food too! Schools, teachers and pupils will become “Carbon Detectives!”.** ===

**The current Sustainable Learning programme will be running until the end of the summer term.**
=== **What a great opportunity to encourage young ones to get involved, through their school. Why not find out what you can do yourselves at school, home or at work to become a Carbon Detective too and manage energy.** ===

internet: @http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_and_society One big problem that we have is that the people DONT know they are wasting energy and because of that is why we have this big waste of energy, thats why our job is to awareness the people about it. The use of Energy has been a key in the development of the human society  by helping it to control and adapt to the <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">environment <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. Managing the use of energy is inevitable in any functional society. In the <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">industrialized world <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> the development of energy resources has become essential for <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Agriculture <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">transportation <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">waste collection <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">information technology <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">communications <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> that have become prerequisites( Requicitos Previos) of a developed society. The increasing use of energy since the <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Industrial Revolution <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> has also brought with it a number of serious problems, some of which, such as <span style="background-color: initial; color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">global warming <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, present Big risks to the world.

Here is the chart i made with the interviews of PIENSAS VERDE! thisi chart will show as how does people use energy! and if they are green o not.

** Me and my group made an interview to Andres Perez. (director administrativo) of CCB school. **
= **<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The CCB school change the lightening system, (he told us that they were changing the bulbs to save energy) we have a control to turn off and on the equipments and we have energy saving campaigns. ** =
 * He told us: **

**Interview : **

what do you think the society is acting towards this problem?
** we make some interviews to some kids and they answer this: ** ** - the society are acting very bad and they don t have conscious about what the people is doing ** ** -that some people is acting good but others no ** ** -that the society don t know what is the damage that they are doing ** ** - that they are acting bad because they don t mater about the damage that the are doing on earth ** ** -we are used to leave thing on not thinking on the energetic cost. what we usually make is to save energy if we have an expensive bill. ** ** -some people is starting to be more conscious about the problem and changing their bad habits that s a very good way to start. **

Prior Knowledge

Its is important to save energy in our school to stop global warming,here in school people uses alot of energy to make their life easier, even though they spend lots of energy, the school have saving bulbs, it also has a control to turn off and on the equipments, and it we have energy saving campaigns
