My name is Anneke. I attend King Middle School. We’re working on a project called “Engineering Our Energy Future” which is focused on the climate crisis happening right now. After doing extensive research, I found renewable energy is a sustainable and effective energy source to transition us into a clean future. Wind energy is a sustainable, and effective energy source for Maine. Solar energy will help Maine become carbon neutral by 2040. Around 250,000 people die per year already due to the rise of carbon dioxide in the air. This can be stopped if we start using energy sources like wind power, and solar power. Are you choosing to save the planet or put more people at risk? ~ Anneke, King Middle School, Portland
