What we can do
This is what we can do about energy.

◯Use public transportation such as buses and trains
・Public transportation, such as trains, can carry more people at a time, resulting in lower CO2 emissions per capita than if many people were traveling by private car or other means.

◯Save electricity (do not leave the TV or lights on, be careful to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner).

・As you can see from the chart above, simply raising the temperature of an air conditioner by one degree in summer can reduce CO2 emissions by 1.2 kg. Saving energy frequently, even in small ways, will help prevent global warming in the future.

◯Bring your own bag for shopping
・The plastic bags you buy when you shop emit CO2 when they are burned. So, be sure to bring your own bag when shopping.

◯Use water with care
・Water uses a lot of energy to reach us. We should be careful to conserve water, as leaving showers on and tap water running will increase global warming.

◯Thinking about the future of energy
・By first learning about the current situation and then thinking about energy in the future, we may be able to try to save electricity and water. Please think about the future of energy in order to make the world a place where each and every one of us can take action to prevent global warming!

I'm sure there are plenty of other things we can do to help, so let's be proactive!

Conclusion
This time I researched energy and power generation, and I was able to learn about power generation that I knew the name of but did not know what it was like, as well as power generation for which I did not even know the name. I had heard the term 'renewable energy' in various places recently and felt like I knew about it, but in reality I only knew the term and didn't really know much about what it was about. I am very happy because it gave me the opportunity to learn more about what it is and what it is not, and now I can talk a little bit more about renewable energy when people ask me about it. I think it is very important to think about energy and take action to make the world a better place. We hope that our website will inspire other secondary school students to research and share their thoughts on "energy in the future".

This time, I actually went to the area where the power is generated to see firsthand how the power is generated, what kind of facilities are there, and how the materials used for the power generation are reused in other places. I found that the power generation was more efficient than I had expected, and even the materials used to generate the power were reused again. Seeing this on Kumejima Island made me think that it would be great if the entire world could do something like that. Although it is nearly impossible to achieve that now, I believe it would be wonderful if someday countries around the world could generate electricity without waste and in an environmentally friendly way. I hope that this website will make today's young people, those of us who will be responsible for the next Earth, even a little more interested in the Earth and the environment. Thank you for reading to the end!!!

By creating this site, I was able to learn more about the importance of energy, the greatness of renewable energy, and the impact of power generation on the environment. I am now more interested than ever in the subject, and I would like to visit various power plants and do more research on power generation. The electricity we take for granted is generated and delivered to us despite various problems. I think there are many things we can do to save electricity. I would like to do what I can do and do my bit for the earth and energy.

Through this WebCon, I was able to learn about power generation, which I did not know before. So from now on, I would like to try to save electricity as much as possible in order to reduce the disadvantages caused by power generation. I thought there were only five or six types of power generation, but I was surprised to learn that there were far more than that. I hope that those involved in the power generation industry will understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type of power generation, and use the power generation method that can counteract the disadvantages of each type of power generation in that particular area. I hope that people who read this site will also change their minds about power generation.

I became interested in energy because I saw that the problem of energy shortage was being reported in the news. I thought it was very important to know about power generation for the future, so I decided to research various methods of power generation. The type of power generation I was most interested in was nuclear power. The only difference between nuclear power and thermal power is the process of heating water, and I believe that nuclear power could become the mainstay of power generation in the future if the potential dangers can be covered up. There are many other types of power generation with good advantages besides nuclear power. I hope this page will make you interested in energy, even if only a little, and that you will have your own opinion about energy after considering its advantages and disadvantages.

I am glad that I made this site and learned about how to generate electricity, what is needed to generate electricity to generate electricity, and the damage caused by the environment due to the generation of electricity, which I did not know. I learned about the various advantages and disadvantages of generating electricity. I also learned about the difficulties of generating electricity, which made me appreciate electricity once again. I learned about electricity not only in Japan but also in the rest of the world. Since oil and coal are finite materials, I thought I would try to conserve them in order to use electricity more carefully.
