Homework - Possible Paper Topics

The topic I have chosen to inspect is "green" design or construction. The main aspect, in which I aim to examine, is the correlation linking green design or construction to a positive environmental impact. The people of the world need solid, factual and prominent information to guide them to living in harmony with our endangered climate. Better energy efficient designs must be scrutinized to further our rapidly diminishing impermanent resources. Whether people accept the issue of environmental collapse or are skeptical, scientists have proven a connection between environmental instability and human activity.

One possible scenario that could be inspected is the human causes of environmental volatility and possible designs that could counteract the effects of such actions. With this, the causes must be thoroughly studied to provide a complete picture of what would have to be implemented. This would be a green design topic. When I say design, I specifically mean engineering new systems that would in turn revolutionize the way energy is used by structures.

Another possible area, would deal with green construction. Now, this would explicitly address certain materials one should use in lowering energy usage in structures. For example, using solar panels and geothermal for efficient energy and temperature control utilization.

Interest in this topic has come to me from several directions. First of all, I am aspiring to become an architect, which obviously plays a collossal role in designing our future with respect for our environment. This topic has also lended me a sense of purpose; it is a means to change the world in a positive way that gives more meaning to my existence. Furthermore, structures have always intrigued me, ever since I was little boy the subject has consistently aroused my attention. How can I and more importantly all people get involved to save our planet?
