Another way to get involved in going green is to push for more engineering in this way. Scientists are desperately trying to find new energy sources, seeing as how we are running out of the what we have. Some interesting facts about new energy sources and the negative side effects of the energy we use now:

1. 1% of Australia's untapped geothermal energy could power the planet for 26,000 years.
2. 1% of people in China 560 million city residents breathe air that it considered safe by the
United Nations.
3. Less than 1% of the world's fresh water is available for humans.
4. Everyday the US creates trash with a weight equivalent to that of the Empire State
building.
5. 20 to 50 million metric tons of electronic waste is produced every year.

These are just a few facts foreshadowing the future that we are currently creating. But, if we reverse our greedy, indulging ways today, we may be able to make tomorrow happier for people all around the world.
