I took a look at the 2% solution video on the Focus the Nation website. The movie was a well put together documentary of the very real future of our nation with our continued fossil fuel consumption and solution to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The main solution that they talked about was reducing major industrial gas emissions by 2% each year until 2050 to reduce the grand total of pollution released to 80%. Dupont has already reduce there gas emissions by 67% from the late 1990's which is a great start.
A different possibility that we could reduce emissions is by selling oil permits to our major industries. This would restrict big industries to only a limited supply of oil forcing them to create clean and more effective means of production. Also the money gained by the government, on the better side of 100 billion dollars, could and hopefully would go into research and development of more and cleaner method of production and cleaner merchandise. Like say hydrogen cars.
If i were to ask my classroom to use this information I would ask them to budget the 100 billion dollars into different organizations that keep or create a more green environment.

Your math lesson plan is fabulous! Good job on the rest of the assignment.
4/5. -1 for errors in mechanics of writing: "and solution to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions" should be "solutions"; "Dupont has already reduce there gas emissions" has 2 errors--reduced and their; "cleaner method of production" should be "methods"; this is not a complete sentence "Like say hydrogen cars."; "If i were" should be "If I were".
