Abstract

Amidst an unceasingly intricate political agenda lies what many consider a grave and often ignored issue:global warming.It would be naïve to overlook the current international political and financial demands, but few can refute global warming’s ever-increasing presence looming on the horizon.Fortunately, technological developments have brought about more affordable alternative energy sources, though most still require a fairly steep investment.I stress the term investment because alternative energy sources aren’t something you can purchase with those ten hours of overtime last week, but thinking in the long-term, imagine the benefits that will come from your green steps into the future.
