All of these topics are very good, but there are only a few topics that I am quite interested in. One of them is water. As we all know only 1 percent of water is commercially available for consumption. We not only need to be mindful of how we use our water, but how we can get more of it.
I have an idea for a senior project that has two parts. Part one is just a whole section on how we can reduce our water use and how to be mindful. Now part two includes how we can get more drinkable water. What I consider to do (even though this might not be physically possible) is to collect all of the fresh water that's melting from ice caps and things like that and just harvest it. Just think, if we are able to do that, then not only will we have more available water to drink, but we also won"t have to worry about the world flooding from global warming. So that idea works on both ends.
I think another very important topic is energy because like we were discussing in class on Friday, there is only so much energy left in the world that's available to us. The big question is where will we turn for energy once fossil fuels run out(of course we don't have to worry about that in our current generation, but to take inconsideration future generations.)? One of the only ways I know to fix this is to start turning to other types of fuel now.
This leads into another idea for my senior project where somehow I can get a petition signed to lower the cost of alternative fuels and energy.
These are just some ideas I am working on.

Hey Evan. You did a great job with this blog. You showed you have direction and a clear idea, but you also focused in on something else, to show you have other options, and maybe even to allow yourself a tie in for your senior project. Good work!

I think what you have in mind is awesome.. You're right it might take a while for the freshwater collection but I think it would be cool to do a petition for the lower cost of alternative fuels and energy. LETS GET THEM!!! :)
I really like how much thought you put into your blog, you have great connections to your senior project and the idea of gathering all the water from melting ice caps really does make sense, on both sides of it.
You should talk more about what your actually thinking of doing and how exactly this information would tie into it.
