REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Conduct Virtual MeetingsHow can you ensure that your virtual meetings honor your values and your company's culture?
Josh Danski 4/16/2019 7:53 AMI use virtual meetings for my group projects in school. Seton Hall is a huge commuter school so by meeting online I am preventing people from using gas to come to campus. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsIn your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?
Josh Danski 4/16/2019 7:52 AMA tradition of consumerism has led to excessive consumerism and that leads to excessive waste across all product categories, not just food. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Spread the Word about Energy AlternativesWhat inspiration and wisdom can you gather from your family, faith, or community traditions that would help you in both communicating about and addressing our most pressing energy issues?
Josh Danski 4/12/2019 7:45 PMIt is best to stay calm when talking about energy solutions even if they are uninterested or make false statements about climate change. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Explore Other Electricity Generation SolutionsWhat is the most exciting solution you explored? Why is it exciting to you?
Josh Danski 4/12/2019 7:45 PMThe most exciting solution to me is still solar energy. It is the most promising and most developed solution so far. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Learn More about Micro WindMicro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
Josh Danski 4/12/2019 7:44 PMMy town of Jackson is home to Kingda Ka, the worlds tallest rollercoaster. Six Flags Great Adventure has a lot of tall structures that can be fitted with microturbines to power their park. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Learn More about Wave and Tidal EnergyWhat did you learn about wave and tidal energy? Were you surprised by the information you found?
Josh Danski 4/12/2019 7:43 PMI learned that tidal energy can be harnessed by big turbines placed in the ocean just like wind turbines. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Learn More About Geothermal EnergyGeothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?
Josh Danski 4/12/2019 7:41 PMOne way is to invest in geothermal companies. By buying shares in the companies you are giving them money for them to continue what they are doing. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Learn More about BiomassHad you ever heard of biomass techonology before you took this challenge? What did you learn that surprised you? Share this with your friends!
Josh Danski 4/12/2019 7:40 PMI had only heard of biomass because of the Drawdown book. I learned it can be used to convert corn and suarcane into energy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Watch a Video about Methane DigestersWhat does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?
Josh Danski 4/12/2019 7:39 PMA sustainable community is one with a garden for local produce and gardening. Solar panels or other forms of renewable energy powering our houses and electric cars. -
