Pakistan relies heavily on thermal energy sources like gas and fossil fuels for electricity production. However, due to a lack of domestic production capabilities, Pakistan must import these resources. This dependence on imported fuels is unsustainable and contributes to issues like global warming. The document proposes increasing utilization of renewable sources like wind and solar energy, which Pakistan has in abundance. Major countries around the world have already invested heavily in wind and solar power production.
New energy
1) 2014 saw declines in oil prices but gains for solar power as it started to have a significant impact on global energy markets.
2) Offshore wind and wave power projects in the US and Europe have faced delays, with Europe far exceeding the US in installed offshore wind capacity.
3) Solar power installation grew rapidly in the US and broke records in other countries like Germany and the UK, representing over a third of new electricity capacity added in the US.

Answering casual dilemmas
1) The sky appears blue during the day due to Rayleigh scattering, where sunlight passing through air molecules is scattered more by shorter wavelengths like blue. This scattering of blue light in all directions results in the sky appearing blue.
2) The chicken or egg dilemma is answered by the fact that a chicken egg requires proteins only found in a chicken's ovaries. So the chicken must have come first in order to lay the first chicken egg.
3) However, if referring more broadly to eggs in general rather than chicken eggs specifically, the egg would have come first through genetic mutation and evolution - a bird laid an egg containing a genetically mutated offspring that was the first chicken.

Solar energy
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. There are different types of solar panels including monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous silicon panels. Solar panels are made of layers of semiconductor materials that produce a flow of electrons when struck by sunlight. Proper positioning of solar panels maximizes sunlight exposure. Benefits of solar panels include being pollution-free, renewable, and requiring little maintenance.
Maglev trains
Maglev trains use magnetic levitation powered by electromagnets to float above guideways without touching and to propel trains at very high speeds up to 250 mph. There are two main types of maglev technology - electromagnetic suspension which uses electromagnets to levitate the train above the track, and electrodynamic suspension which uses both electromagnets on the train and induced magnetic fields in the track for levitation and propulsion. While maglev trains offer advantages like very high speeds and less energy usage than wheeled trains, they also present challenges including very high infrastructure costs to build new exclusive guideways.

Science meets Performing Arts meets Society
The Science meets Performance Art meets Society workshop with Ran Peleg and Cristina Olivotto at Szakacsi (Hungary) was an overwhelming experience.
Exchange of Community-engaged Performing Art Practices has been conducting this academy for three years now with the aim of building an inspiring network of organizations in the arts and theatre performance, as well as in the music development to improve the situation of underprivileged children. We were there to throw a bit of science meets society into the mix as an #agentofchange.
It was an opportunity to interact and intimately share space with a group of Roma people, social art practitioners -- dancers, theatre artists, clowns -- psychologists, and wonderful educators. I spent the week in a psychodrama workshop, learning how to be a clown, learning the art of Comedia dell'arte and sharing stories of science and society, and of course analysing our existence on this planet.
Muchos love and shot out to everyone who was there to make a crazy nice and reflective experience.
Thank you Balázs Simon, Timea Szőke, Petrányi Barna to make this experience possible.
Recycle
Students determine the chemical and physical properties of four common plastics - polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, high-density polyethylene, and polystyrene. They test samples of each plastic using various liquids and heat to observe properties like flexibility, hardness, and density. Students then test an unknown "mystery" plastic sample to determine its properties and identify which of the four plastics it is based on the evidence from the tests. The key is relating the plastics' observed properties to possible uses based on how those properties affect functionality.

9/11/2018Technology and its impact on our environment
2018 was one of the hottest years of the century. And most people claim that the use of modern technology is the reason for such climate change. However, the government spends millions and millions of money on scientists who are researching on eco-friendly technology and source of energy. James Gustave Speth, then-President of the World Resources Institute, in 1992 wrote an article suggesting a national strategy to combine the goals of a healthy environment and a strong economy. He suggests that we can reduce pollution by recycling waste. This process makes products more affordable for people to buy and use. A year after year the eco-friendly technology is becoming more affordable for people. More people are installing solar panels on the roofs of their houses which helps to reduce the use of eco-harmful sources of energy. Scientists calculated that by the end of the XXI century everyone will be using eco-friendly tech products which will reduce the harm to the environment to zero.
Technology requires energy. In the early XX century, the coal was the main source of energy. Years after the coal was changed with oil. In the 1950s scientists started using a nuclear power as a main source of energy. However, none of them are eco-friendly. They deal inevitable damage to our environment, damaging the air we breathe, the atmosphere that protects us from Sun and soil where we plant our vegetables and fruits. The changes scientists started paying attention to the damage we are dealing with the environment in the 1990s. That was the time when scientists started researching on alternative sources of energy. Marine energy, hydroelectric, wind, geothermal and solar power are first renewable and alternative sources of energy. China is one of the first countries to start using renewable energy. In 2004, “The New York Times” published an article which states that the government of China declared by 2010 10 percent of the whole of China’s power will be generated through renewable sources. Indeed, in 2018 China’s 12 percent of power is generated through renewable sources of energy and China is not going to stop on this. Now they are planning to increase that number from 10 percent to 20 by the year 2030. With renewable sources of energy comes the eco-friendly technologies. Some of the tech companies are working on so-called “greenhouses”. This houses are entirely eco-friendly and do not require energy that is harmful to the environment. The price of these houses starts at 75000$ which makes it affordable for people. Also, solar and wind farms are being built which will help to reduce the use of energy sources such as nuclear power.
Tech products are more eco-friendly then they were before. For example, phones these days come with Lithium-ion batteries which lasts for years and requires less electricity. Gas powered cars are now being replaced by electric cars which do not produce.
