Track 50 part 1
Today I am pleased to talk about a topic that is so essential to our environment - energy sources The demand for energy, as I'm sure you all know, is increasing more rapidly than ever The non-renewable sources such as coal and oil have been used for cooking, lighting, heating, and generating electricity for centuries to serve our life However, they are harmful to the environment, as they produce a lot of smoke when we burn them And what's more, they are running out That's why people are looking for sources that are almost limitless and clean - I mean the renewable sources
Track 50 part 2
As I have just said, the renewable sources are limitless Most of them do not cause pollution, or at least pollution than coal or oil Let me give you an example of biomass Biogas is a kind of biomass produced from animal matter It is safe and clean enough Corn is the biomass from plants It is ground and then made into sugars These sugars are then made into ethanol, a kind of fuel used for cars Cars using ethanol may give out carbon dioxide, which pollutes the air But when you grow another new crop of corn, the corn takes up the carbon dioxide in the air to reduce air pollution As you can see now, this source of energy never runs out and it causes less pollution
