The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!
Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Solar Panels
If there was a large field of solar panels in the middle of a desert how much would a project like this cost and how much energy would it generate. Would it hurt the environment?
I believe this depends on the set up of the project. If you were to install panels through Solar City, it would cost 12-20 thousand dollars per house. therefore for a whole area of the desert, it would cost over 100 thousand dollars. There would be environmental damage because the project would be taking up an area where some life form lives.
It wouldn't effect the environment, as much as it would be an inconvenience, and expensive. If you were to put solar panels in the middle of a desert, it would be very expensive to have power lines run all the way to a city/ town. Building those power lines would cost a lot. It would also be an inconvenience to have all those power lines. In the end, this situation would not make sense. It would be better to have solar panels on every home.
Solar panels are great investment! My family bought it before 5 years, they are not so cheap but if you use it for heating your water or home your bills will get a lot lower. Renewable energy is great way to save money and protect our planet in same time!
Solar Pannels would be super expensive but other than that I think this project would be less damage to the planet getting warmer.
Maybe we can't implement reusable energy to fuel all of our energy needs because it will be very expensive, but even most of them who has the money to buy solar panels can help to reduce pollution and decrease global warming.
