Thank you so much for catching my Kite! In my story you mentioned “Fossil Fuels”, what are they? they sound really old!
Hi Hope! Great question! Over Millions of years, dead plants and animals get buried underground…
… these fossils turn into oils and coal… Humans discovered we could burn them to power things like cars, boats and planes!
Wow! Amazing! So a car could run on dinosaurs?
Haha! Well in a way… But sadly it’s not so amazing. These fuels, when used, give off gases which warm our planet… and that’s not good!
Is that what they call ‘climate change’?!
Exactly! So Humans have had to invent new ways of powering things, like electric cars… But today some vehicles (Like boats & planes) still need fuel…
…Oh Dear! So if planes & boats still need Fossil Fuels, and fossil fuels are bad, what can we do!?
A Clean Planet ecoPlant where plastic is converted into clean-fuels.
Another great question! Well, there’s also too much plastic waste in the world, so at Clean Planet Energy we found a way to covert the waste into clean fuels!
All this waste plastic Is converted into clean fuels Which can power vehicles that can’t be electric!
The Clean Fuels can cut harmful gases by 75%! This means cleaner Air!
So… where do you get all the plastic?
Well sadly there is plastic EVERYWHERE - but we can get it from our friends in this story!
