1) List every resource of energy you know and list it as renewable or non-renewable. Try to do at least 7.
2) Pretend there is a soda machine at school. The soda machine is only filled once per year at the beginning of the year. How could we make the soda last longer in the machine (cannot refill)?

2. Renewable*
Any source of energy that can be continually produced and is inexhaustible given current conditions.
Non-Renewable*
Any source of energy that exists in limited quantities and once used, cannot be replaced except over the course of millions of years.

3. Non-Renewable Resources*
Hydro
Solar
Wind
Geothermal
Biomass (causes CO2 emissions)
Non-Renewable Resources*
Oil
Natural Gas
