In today's world, protecting the environment is more important than ever, and as technology progresses, people also need to ensure that they do their part to protect the beautiful nature surrounding them. We are a team of high school students from Paul Laurence Dunbar HS that loves nature as well as computer science, which is why we decided to take on the challenge of creating this website promoting nature-friendly steps that all homeowners can take to do their part in helping protect the planet.
This team is a part of the Technology Student Association (TSA), an organization that offers technology related competitions to middle school and high school students, and this project is being done as part of the Webmasters competition.
We decided to participate in this competition because every member in this team is invested in computer science, and wants to pursue a career in technology. Furthermore, we also care deeply about the environment and love a wide range of outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, mountain biking, running, and more, which has developed our love for all things nature. Check out some amazing pictures images of nature below!
It is now more important than ever for every person to take action against climate change. As climate change becomes worse day by day due to increased carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, and global temperatures rise, we can see across the world the impacts of those increases.
Due to climate change, many parts of the environment are destroyed. Some species have to move habitats, and ecosystems can be heavily impacted by an increase in temperature. For example, the melting of the polar ice sheets has caused many problems for the animals living there, as well as a rise in sea levels causing floods. In fact, most natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, tournadoes, and wilfires amongst other things, are worsened by increased causing significant damage to the environment surrounding us, and putting animals, humans, and infrastructure at risk.
This is why we decided to create this website. Our express purpose is to bring attention to the issue of climate change and provide a solution, something all homeowners in America and across the world could implement to do their part. Many homes, especially old ones, are not efficient and waste a lot of energy leading to climate change and global warming, and there are steps you can take to fix that. We detail many different solutions, and rewards you could receive for implementing them, on our website. Continue to read on our website to find out more!
Sustainability is extremely important to the future of our society and the survival of many species, which is why we care deeply doing our best to be sustainable.
We value the environment because of it's importance to survival, but also because we admire it's beauty and complexity, which is why we seek to conserve and protect it.
We seek to educate ourselves and other about the importance of protecting nature, and how individuals like homeowners can do their part.
In this team, we also value and promote diversity, empathy, and teamwork as it is the right thing to do. We want everyone to feel confortable, loved, and useful!
