REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Aryanna Neely 11/15/2019 8:01 AMThe electricity where I currently reside is generated through the campus. It can affect the environment by using a lot of sources that are bad for the environment if not eco-friendly. With animals it can affect them because they should be exposed to natural light. With humans too much can cause issues such as migraines and I have experience this a lot I prefer to use natural light.
