2. What kinds of things can you, your friends, and your family do to help preserve our present energy sources?

 

3. What do you think would happen if our energy resources begin to run out?

 

Write Persuasively

Write a letter to the local editor of the newspaper.  Tell why you think it's important to save coal, oil, and gas.  In your letter to the editor, try to persuade the readers that your community should try to use new sources of energy.
