Carrboro High School Drawdown Team

I learned that there are many types of wave and tidal energy, including tidal turbines, tidal barrages, tidal fences, surface devices, underwater devices, and reservoirs. These use the energy from waves or tides moving the water to spin turbines and generate energy. Tidal turbines generate more energy than wind turbines, and are better because...

I wish I had more time to dive into the ecochallenge - so much to learn and do!

Probably bioenergy as it can not only help to generate electricity from animal waste but also help to minimize some of the impacts (e.g., smell) of industrial scale animal agriculture.

One where everyone valued the natural resources and the ecosystem services they provide to humans.

I hadn’t heard of it before reading about it in project drawdown. Was delighted to learn there was some research on silvopasture taking place here in NC. The biggest advantage seems to me to be that trees are part of the solution rather than being cut down for animal agriculture.
