Right after the industrial revolution, the exploitation of natural resources by human societies increased at top speed. Fossil fuels are ever since the main source of energy used to cover most of our needs. This made people believe that they do not depend on renewable energy, but can survive only by using old technological inventions.

However, as it takes millions of years for fossil fuels to be created, being extracted in such an alarming pace means that we will sooner or later run out. Only then will people realize how much we wrongly depend on them. Production of all kinds of goods, heating and transportation are only few of the fields that will be directly affected.

But even if fossil fuels were an infinite source of energy, they are the main reason why huge quantities of carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect as well as acid rain, breathing problems and destruction of natural habitats.

Concequently, scientists should concentrate on creating and improving the ways we use alternative sources of energy. Making these sources more effective and easy to use, humanity will be able to wean off fossil fuels and face climate change. Generous fundings are given to laboratories dealing with medical care and weaponary. It is time that we realise that fossil fuels should not play the dominant role in producing energy, and thus major steps should be taken.

Social Media has been steadily rising as a marketing force since Myspace and Facebook started the social networking craze and with the recent and extremely quick rise of the iPhone we will obviously start to see even more people using the newer social outlets such as Twitter. This presents a huge opportunity for renewable energy companies and organizations and if taken advantage of, social media outlets could become a massive and FREE marketing tool that reaches a massive crowd across multiple spectrums.

Operation Renewable Energy is a perfect example of a renewable energy company utilizing social outlets. Twitter alone has helped us more than we could have ever imagined! From finding guests for our live show to gaining network members, Twitter has allowed us access to a whole group of people that we would usually never have contact with. Beyond that our Facebook group has grown immensely and has become a driving force behind Operation Renewable Energy’s success.

With a very small amount of time invested, we managed to establish a massive online presence using social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook that would have taken months or even years to build ten years ago.
