    Scenario
    You are an environmental lobbyist who has been asked to make a presentation to your state’s legislature. You will gather data about a local or regional environmental issue unique to your area or home state and prepare a PowerPoint Presentation. You may focus on any environmental issue, but the area of focus must be in your local area or home state. The environmental issue may be related to land, water, or air.

    Instructions
    Choose a Superfund website that is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). You can use this search engine to find a Superfund site in your state.

    Each assignment leading up to the final assignment is evaluated and graded independently. Your instructor will provide specific grading criteria for each step of the project prior to its due date.

    The Superfund website will have information about contaminated areas, how they became contaminated, and who is responsible for the contamination, as well as clean-up plans for the contamination.

    Your PowerPoint Presentation should include:

    • Your voiceover narration using Screencast-O-Matic for each slide as well as references in APA format
    • The issue (background information from the website, contamination, clean-up)
    • The major players and stakeholders involved (the people who created the problem, the people who can fix the problem, and the people who are most impacted by the problem)
    • Possible controversies (differences in opinion about the issue)
    • Impact of this environmental issue to the surrounding environment (nearby rivers, streams, farmland, animal habitats, etc.)

Energy Case Studies

Lab 12

 

{Renewable} Energy Case Studies

 

 

Each student will select a city. Choose one that you have some connection to or are interested in. Research that city’s energy needs and available resources and create a presentation illustrating what mix of energy improvements you would recommend developing to best meet the city’s energy needs and also improve its environmental footprint.

 

Present it to the class. Presentations should be 10 minutes per city.

You may work in groups of up to 3 on the presentations or do something on your own. Group presentations need to include analysis that compares or contrasts the solutions for the cities chosen. Presentations can be prepared videos.

 

Each member in the group must research their own city and contribute their own ideas towards the “solutions”. Please think about including “wackadoodle” possibilities to be part of your solution. While not always appropriate open the door to creativity. Here is one link that may surprise you – child labor vs child rights vs child fun: http://www.playpumps.co.za/

 

 

You will be graded based on the Lab 12 Oral Rubric.

 

The following are some examples from the IRENA cities project that may give you some ideas to start with. IRENA write ups on each of these are included in your resources file. They should help you with starting ideas. You cannot choose any of the following cities:

 

Dezhou, China

Chemnitz, Germany

Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Austin, US

Sydney, Australia and Nagpur, India

Malmo, Sweden

 

Lastly as I am encouraging you to select cities from all over the world you are allowed to use Wikipedia for basic information about your city. Things like population, economic info, links to climate and basic location information. This is because access to this type of information is not equally available in English for many countries.

 

While you do not need to verbalize your sources, they should be somewhere in your presentation.

    Scenario
    The community of Greenburg is located near sea level at the base of a snow-capped mountain, on a secluded ocean inlet, surrounded by rugged, forested land. The only access to the city is by ferry or plane; no roads connect it to other communities in the region. Winters are wet, mild, and long. The city serves as the capital for the state of Newbridge. As such, government agencies are its leading employer, though tourism is also a major source of income, followed by commercial fishing. The city is renowned for its scenic beauty; tall mountains capped by glaciers can be seen from downtown.

    • Population: 32,000
    • Avg. High Temp (Dec): 34oF
    • Avg. High Temp (June): 62oF
    • Annual Precipitation: 62 in.
    • Urban Area: 15 sq. mi.
    • Main Power Source: natural gas
    • Instructions
      Construct a plan for sustainable energy for the hypothetical city of Greenburg. Your plan should consist of the following elements:
    • Specific measures to promote energy conservation measures (e.g., promoting biking by implementing a bicycle sharing program)
    • Specific steps to move the city toward sustainable energy production (e.g., solar facilities/greenhouses/community food production)
    • Consider actions that involve switching from traditional (non-renewable) energy sources to renewable sources, for both vehicles and buildings/homes
    • Reducing energy will help, but your plan should include a detailed plan that will move the city forward using renewable energy

    Scenario
    You have been asked to identify the sources of energy you use daily in your home, and the cost of each of those sources over a 3-day period (and a monthly total estimate). While going about your daily activities, track and record your energy use in three categories (electricity, fuel, and natural gas/propane), calculating a monthly estimate for your energy costs. Contact your energy provider or research your energy provider online to determine the primary sources of energy used to power your home, and explore the potential for renewable energy sources, if your provider uses fossil fuel sources.

    Instructions
    Track your energy use for 3 days (electricity/fuel/natural gas, if applicable), using the document attached below.
    EVR3410-mod5-Energy-Tracker.docx

    Research or contact your energy providers to determine the sources of energy supplied by your providers. Compile tracked energy data into a written report, calculating a daily average cost for your energy needs. Lastly, explore options for sourcing energy from solely renewable sources.

    Your report should consist of the following elements:

    • Specify name of local energy providers and source(s) of energy used
    • Specify cost of energy use for the 3-day period (based on average electric bill/10 days)
    • Explore options for sourcing energy solely from renewable sources
    • If renewable options are not available, discuss ways that you can reduce energy use in your home
