=Walpole Island = ===Walpole Island, a small community that is filled with many Aboriginal People and wildlife, the trees here are strong and tall, and the animals within the wide area of bushes. === ===It’s a very environmental area, everywhere you look you see trees all around, the water is a lovely blue just as nature intended it to be, not a murky brown like Sarnia or Wallaceburg, it is spacious and not to mention there is only one third of the Island filled with human habitants, the rest is trees and areas close to the community is farm land that we use to grow and harvest food. === ===And not to mention we have Solar Panels installed on the Island mall and panels on top of the school where many of the community's children attend. The solar energy from the sun’s rays get stored and later get turned into green energy, instead of using coal energy that many people use and rely on, for instance, Sarnia. Sarnia is a very good example since as soon as you enter the first thing you see is factories and pollution clouds entering the atmosphere that later can turn into sickness and diseases. === ===Plus that coal can end up making you spend loads of money per year since you are constantly relying o it and not only that but coal and fossil fuel is running out. Whereas solar energy is something that will never run out since the sun will continue to burn for many, many years, but fossil fuel will soon run out completely. And the steps of turning solar into electricity is very simple an easy, the suns UV rays hit the silicon semiconductors which then cause the electrons to flow and cause electricity which generators convert this into energy that we can use. === ===The school and mall on the Island use Grid-connected systems to help operate the place, if the generator produces little amount of energy it uses energy that would be stored in a battery that had been charged before from previous time. === ===Plus solar panels are very benificial because once you install them they create energy with out the harm of pollution like coal and fossil fuel and opperate with little maintiance. ===


 * __Think about it, do you really want this much pollution just have have a little bit of energy to use for something so small? __**

===Coal is a resource that is NONRENEWABLE and is depleting fast and causes huge amounts of health problems that spread around from person to person, the U.S Energy Information Administrations explains that coal releases sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and many other things that cause health and heart problems like asthma. And The Center Of Disease Control estimated that 12,000 coal miners have died from Black Lung, or Pneumoconiosis. This source of energy is deadly and we know it, but why do we stuill use it?===
