Geo Syndicate

Description

The students each researched a type of renewable energy and we held a debate where they tried to convince the others theirs was the future of green energy. Many of the students are on the debate team so it was a lively exchange! In the end we agreed that a green future will have to be made up lots of different natural powered technologies as there is no one fits all, and each have their own environmental impacts and resource uses.
