Affordable and Clean Energy: Stephen John Q. Diez Science, Technology and Society FIN181

The document discusses implementing a solar-powered charging station at the National University. It notes that most students use gadgets like phones and laptops for schoolwork but there is currently limited access to charging ports in the library and cafeteria. A solar-powered charging station located in various areas around campus could provide a renewable source of electricity to power students' devices, reducing energy costs for the university and allowing students to complete their work without worrying about battery life. The station would benefit both the school and environment by decreasing fossil fuel usage and emissions.

The Condition
Of the Environment
Life in the universe exists only in a ten-mile-thick layer on the 200-millionsquare-
mile surface of this planet. During the 5 million years of human existence, we lived
in this thin crust of earth, air, and water. Initially man relied only on inexhaustible
resources. The planet appeared to be without limits and the laws of nature directed
our evolution.
Then we started to supplement our lives with exhaustible energy sources (coal,
oil, uranium) and to substitute the routine functions of our brains by machines.
As a result, in some respects we have conquered nature and we are directing our
own evolution. Today, we grow up in man-made environments; virtual reality or
cyberspace is more familiar than the open spaces of meadows. While our role
and power have changed, our consciousness did not. We consider the planet
inexhaustible, incapable of thinking in timeframes which exceed a few
lifetimes.
