RE: Request for funding to spread awareness about green energy
Dr.,
North America is blessed with an incredible energy endowment. However, the production, distribution and use of energy can have significant environmental impacts. The Proposal here is with proper funding, our team consisting of individuals who believe in green energy and are fully devoted to saving this planet, aims at spreading awareness about the pollution, its harmful effects and how much in danger our beloved planet earth is and also show them and make them aware how they can contribute as individuals and as a society to save planet earth by going green.
Our team is fully dedicated and plants to start the research on the 3 E’s of green energy; Energy Efficiency, Energy from renewable and Emission reduction. This research will include looking for ways how a business can change its energy consumption, how an individual can change his/her energy consumption and how society as a whole can make a difference. Later we will put our research together and market it to the businesses and society, this will make them aware of how they are harming the planet and how they can stop doing that and help save planet earth by going green. People than will be more careful about polluting this planet and will contribute more towards saving our home planet earth.
