Color Changing polar bear



Summary: There is a new invention that can show you when you are using too much electricity in your home.It is a stuffed animal polar bear that communicates with a home's electricity meter. It glows various colors to help people save energy. The pinker the glow gets, the more energy you are wasting.

Reflection: I think this stuffed animal is a great way to help people conserve energy. Energy being wasted is such a big dilemma in our world that is hard to fix. Many people don't realize how much energy they are wasting, and this polar bear stuffed animal is very helpful.

Questions:
1. What are some other ways that we can save energy?
2. Do you think people should try harder to use less energy?
3. Why is it important to save energy?

    1. We can save energy by turning off the light when you leave a room and unplugging electronics when you are done using them.

    2. Yes I strongly believe people should try harder to use less energy. Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels and they are in short supply.

    3. Since most of our energy comes from fossil fuels, it causes there to be pollution and it adds carbon dioxide into the greenhouse layer.

    How much energy is saved just by turning off your lights when you are done? What else can be done to save energy? How are the polar bears effected by this?

    1. We can turn the lights off in rooms when we are not in them and unplug electronics when they are not in use.
    2. Yes, it will save them money and it helps in the enviornment. In this economy saving money is a must.
    3. It is important to save energy because using energy wastes important substances such as fossil fuels. Unless your house runs on renewable energy, such as solar energy, we should not be wasting energy.

    1. We can save energy by turning off lights, unpugging electronics, and turning off our televisions and computers when we are done with them.
    2. It is very important to save energy. Most of our energy coms from outside sources, so it requires all of us to pay more money for it. This can in turn cause the economy to drop.
    3. We have to save energy because as both Phil and Rachel said it comes from fossil fuels, which are in low supply right now.

    1. We can save energy by turning off lights and unplugging or turning off things that aren't being used.
    2. Yes it is vital that we use less energy. Using less energy shows that we can change and can devote more time to developing ways to make alternative energy.
    3. It's important because it helps the environment and all the energy we use come from fossil fuels which are becoming harder and harder to find.
