12. Task #3….Writing
The government of Gondwanaland, a large, wealthy island nation similar in size and climate to Australia, is having an energy crisis and is seeking the input of experts. They are quickly running out of nonrenewable resources and have not yet heavily invested in renewable energy sources. You have been commissioned to submit your position on the production of energy and resource consumption for Gondwanaland. Propose a plan for the sustainable use of energy that satisfies current and future energy needs while protecting the environment. Consult the exemplar for the proper way to use and cite sources.

13. Directions for the Writing portion:
Write your answer to the question using information you learned in this unit. You must organize your position with a thesis statement that is supported in your body paragraphs with evidence from the text. Feel free to bring in additional research from other sources. Be sure to cite those sources! Your formal argument must include four or more paragraphs with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Biology: Your writing portion MUST BE TYPED:
Times New Roman, 12 Font, Double Spaced
You can either print it, it to me, link on my website or bring it in on a flash drive.
HOWEVER, do not wait until the last minute to send it, because if it is not in my inbox by your period on the 13th, it is late!

14. Example on how to cite!
Gondwanaland must decrease its use of fossil fuels not only because they are rapidly depleting, but also because they release atmospheric pollutants. The first step in the plan, therefore, must be for Gondwanaland to speedily phase out the use of these nonrenewable resources. According to chunk 11 in Table 2, oil and natural gas resources will be exhausted within the next 70 years. If these resources run out before Gondwanaland adopts new technologies, the country will face an unimaginable crisis. Not only will they have depleted their current supply of energy, but they will have nothing to fall back on. Furthermore, the production of energy through the use of fossil fuels releases pollutants some of which create greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4 (Paragraph 4). According to paragraph 4, these greenhouse gases have also been linked to climate change. Over the past decade, a significant number of catastrophic climate-related events such hurricanes, tsunamis, and tornados have devastated countries around the globe. If Gondwanaland reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, scientists theorize that there may be a reduction in these events.
