This week I met with Dr. Bozanic to discuss what I did throughout September. He gave me some suggestions for further reading that look very promising. Although I ordered my new books about a week ago, only one has arrived. Hopefully the rest arrive soon! Due to my lack of new materials, this week I read some of the Japan-related sections of a book I checked out from Addlestone, The Asian Energy Factor. Although most energy related books discuss energy in relation to America or Europe, this one was specifically about Japan, which has been new and informative.
The book that did arrive was As the World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Stay in Denial. It's an extremely entertaining satirical book about how the human race's obsession with money has taken priority over our planet's welfare. It dispels several misconceptions about energy conservation, which I found very surprising.
I also continued discussing a possible assembly with the Middle and/or Lower school about energy, which seems to be going well. I have some really fun activities planned for them! Hopefully we can arrange a date to meet in the near future!
