Carbondioxide Emission
In 1960’s “Richard Backminster Fuller” used to ask his audience of engineers “How much does your building weigh” His interest was in efficient designs that used less natural resources no nobody could ever answer his question. In the 1980’s in the wake of the 1981 OPEC oil embargo, another famous American engineer, Fed Dublin asked his audience of architects and engineers “How will your building perform if it has to run on half as much energy as you expect it to need. There is an established link between man made emission from burning fossil fuels and climate change. The 21 century question is how much carbon dioxide does your building emits.

I have been researching how we can reduce carbon dioxide emission. The best option is to use renewable energy because it doesn't pollute the air or the water. Renewable energy is made from resources that nature will replace like wind, water and sunshine. The problem renewable energy is expensive and it's not logic to convince the pub management to use alternative energy just to save the world.
