Environment

There are many issues in the environment in the United States.One is the use of oil. In the United States, we use 30% of the oil supply, yet only 2% of the oil we use comes from our own soil. In the United States we could significantly reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Also, if we were to create and use renewable energy or conservation projects, it would create 300% more jobs than projects such as construction and operation projects. This could also reduce the amount of pollution we give off, since we are a leading country in the amount of pollution released.

There are many ways that we could reduce the amount of oil used. One way is by going green. There are several different ways of going green, such as using solar powered energy, wind energy, hydroelectricity, tidal energy, and geothermal energy. These many different ways of environmental resources could cut back tremendously on the amount of oil we use in the United States. In addition we could educate people to recycle more and use those materials to remake new materials, cutting down the amount of waste we have. Lastly we want to encourage more public transportation so not all of the oil we use is wasted on just one person, when people could carpool. Less cars=less oil, which means less foreign oil needed to import.
