INDIVIDUAL IDEAS

EDUCATION:

• Carolina Navarro:

1. The main idea of education is motivation. Our goal is to make everyone to love what they are doing, in this way they will always try their best.
2. Problem: Teachers don´t adapt to the quick develop of the technology in education. Our objective is to help them.
3. In order to eliminates antique things, we need to create new ones. Therefore we need to be conscience of the problems we need to solve.

• Berta Nieto:

1. To make the students love what they are learning and show interest the key is motivation and entertainment. A motivated student will tend to try as hard as he possibly can
2. The technological devices have to be held in a responsible way and have to adapt to the students
3. the teachers have to adapt as fast as they can to this changes.

• María Muñoz:

1. There’s not enough motivation in education. Saying that you will gain a reward if you study and if you don’t you won’t gain anything, is not a good way of encouraging students. A solution is to search motivations for students for them to work comfortable and not for a grade.
2. There’s not enough time to adapt due to the fact that each year the syllabus changes. As a solution, teachers should select the essential topics.
3. Technology should be adapted in education, to develop skills that will be required in the future.

• Enrique Martín.

1. Thanks to the technology we have a better education because we are using this technology in a responsible way.
2. The motivation is one of the most important facts in education as if the student doesn’t have any external motivation he’s probably going to fail on his studies.
3. It is important to implement the technology in education to show all of the skills that all students have.

• Mónica López:

1. Education centers may provide to the students opportunities that adapt to their necessities as well as to their interests in order to encourage the intrinsic motivation of these. The educational system of studying for passing is out-of-date since it is a dynamic that doesn't work and establishing the new technologies can increase the will of learning of the students.
2. Being able to manage a deeper knowledge by the use of the new technologies, that is to say, that students don't study only what proposed by the educational systems but get them to know what happens around them so they can analyze several situations as taking the theoretical to the practical interacting with technology. Like this, they will develop necessary abilities as critical thinking, group work, entrepreneurship and autonomy. The application of technologies gives place to a direct relation between productivity and development.   
3. Controlled use of technologies in educational centers to avoid distraction and an incorrect use of them deteriorating the received education.   

ENERGY:

• Carolina:

1. Law of conservation of energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed.
2. Is important to have a well-organised system, which guarantee that anything is going to fail.
3. There are 1,3 millions of people who doesn´t have yet any type of electricity. This is the main problem of energy we need to be qualify to solve.

• Berta Nieto:

1. Since energy cannot be created nor destroyed we have to aware that energy is found in limited quantities and we shall not abuse of it.
2. Because nowadays energy is used and transformed into electrical and technological devices that are essential in our daily life, there’s has to be some sort of back-up plan just in case this things shut down.
3. We have to make sure that we are as environmentally friendly as we can, using element of high-pollution as energy sources will only worsen the world’s current situation

• María Muñoz:

1. Energy is the main business in the world. The aim is to attempt that everyone have energy, but reducing its consumption
2. We’re not conscious about what we are consuming. There’s a lot of people all around the world that can’t use energy, so we should start thinking about how we can make those people have the possibility of using energy.
3. We should stop using coal as a source of energy. Coal pollutes more that we can imagine, so we should stop using it or we will end with the world. Using renewable energy is the main solution for this issue.

• Enrique Martín

1. It is important to change from the type of energy we have now a days as we are destroying our planet so we need to make more renewable energy.
2. The world’s average temperature has risen up 0,8º if it reaches 1º we are going to have an environmental disaster as lots of species are going to die.
3. Power is generated at the instant in which it is claimed, it can not be store in significant amounts of energy, so a good idea is to create energy near our houses but in a smaller amount and like that firstly the energy would not be lost during it transportation and it would be cheaper.

• Mónica López:

1. People living in big cities refuse the fact of having nearby where they live those huge electrical networks that actually exist but, the construction of numerous centers of power generation that are closer to the cities and much smaller, therefore more efficient (so that 7% of energy loss since energy is produced until it reaches the buildings won't be lost), will help to the storage of energy and not wasting part of it, optimizing its consumption.  
2. Energy is a key factor for the welfare of society and its economic development. 1/5 of the world's population (1,3 billion of people) haven't got the access to that necessary use of energy. Perhaps, optimizing the consumption of energy in developed countries in which energy is daily present and often wasted, could be then displaced to those countries so they can overcome underdevelopment and reach the economic development and the social welfare that the rest of global societies already have due to the use of energy. In addition, for energy to be more efficient and less harmful to our planet, energy sources that don't emit CO2 as eolic, hydraulic and solar energy would be chosen; making the most of the natural resources provided by the countries that don't own that energy.  
3. Actually, the global society could be considered electro dependent since if there is some kind of failure in the electric net we can't make use of the technologies we have. Anyway, through a new intelligent system that manages and controls our current use of energy we could get our system to be more efficient, stable and safe.

ENVIRONMENT:

• Carolina:

1. Climate change can affect in various fields, diets (descent of wheat), health (diseases), infrastructure (water distribution: it rains in a more intense way and breaks infrastructure)
2. The planet is in a continuous change and the human activity could affect in the quality and behaviour of the planet.
3. We have to become aware of what suppose having the light on all day.  

• Berta Nieto:

1. Old generations have spent nearly a whole century destroying the sources that keep this world alive such as trees, water… and it’s our turn to commend this mistakes and make the world a better place.
2. In all industries being environmentally friendly is a great advantage for investors to invest their money on a company, so it’s a factor to take into account
3. Global warming is a real deal and we are not sufficiently aware of what is going on

• María Muñoz:

1. In spain, the renewable energy sector has been transformed in one great business opportunity for a huge amount of people.
2. We should start thinking about our world. Stop being selfish and start changing things will be essential if we want to create a world in which we can all live equally and without environmental problems. The issue is not about what planet we leave to our children, instead of it, we should think about what kind of people we leave to the planet. If we don’t look after our planet, with difficulty, this one will take care of the human race.
3. The world’s average temperature has risen up 0,8º and in Andalucia and mediterranean regions has risen up 1,5ª. These are facts that prove that we’re doing something wrong.

• Enrique Martín

1. The most important now a day is to create renewable energy but that changes don’t alter the rhythm of live that we have.
2. The climate change not only affects to the environment, it is also something essential in the economic field.
3. The forests are very important because they regulate the levels of CO2 stored on Earth and provide us oxygen, which is the most important for human life.

• Mónica López:

1. Since changing the energetic model is necessary to improve the situation of the environment (specifically climatic change), renewable energies should be fomented. Germany, the biggest industrial european power, lacks companies that work with renewable energies but on the contrary, in Spain the renewable energy sector offers business opportunities for both individuals and enterprises and this is something we, the spaniards should take advantage of with the help of new technologies. Specifically, in Andalusia we can find a high concentration of renewable energies that may solve much of the energy needs in the future.
2. Environmental problems are global since at the end, the planet belongs to everyone and what we have to do is raise awareness to the entire world population about it. The consumption of energies is essential because if there is no consumption there is no development and if there is no development there is no employment. Nevertheless, we can't maximize this situation since if there is no consumption, unemployment starts rising. We must conclude in the moderate and responsible consumption so like this we help to take care of the environment.  
3. Countries with growing demography such as India, China, the United States and most European countries are the main emitters of CO2, the main cause of climate change. We should look for alternatives to those industries that produce excessive amounts of CO2 and prevent that the natural resources we have today which positively transform the CO2 end up disappearing as forests that transform the CO2 from the atmosphere into wood.
