This week I read the majority of Green Gone Wrong. I found it really interesting. I still have a few pages left, but I should finish those tomorrow. It discussed eco-architecture and some "greener" energy alternatives. I learned about 2 ecologically friendly cities in Europe, which I thought was really cool that entire communities are trying to be that sustainable with the current technology. It also discussed green energy alternatives like biodiesel. It discussed how biodiesel isn't really "green," because the amount of energy that must go into producing biodiesel (intensive farming practices to produce and gather the corn or other plant) and the land that must be converted into farmland to make make up for the lost food production make biodiesel less green than fossil fuels.
This week I'll also be meeting with Dr. Bozanic and writing my reflection paper, which I'll post once finished. I'm also going to be looking at some new titles about energy and environmental engineering!
