 This is a picture of the Grand  Canyon on a average day
Introduction:

          We thought Summer Scholars' program at Northern Arizona University was fun.  We learned a lot of stuff like fire safety, haze in the Grand Canyon, what haze is, and how a coal power plant works.  We did some sports like basketball and swimming.  Overall we would give Summer Scholars 7 out of 10.  Last year it was better because we went to slide rock, more free time, went to Target, and we went USGS.  We want to save Grand Canyon because it is the biggest gorge in the world and so beautiful.

Recommendation:
Have cars powered by hydroelectricity because the pollution rates are rising every year.  A solar powered vehicle could be very useful so you could run the car during the day.  For a backup on the solar powered car at night you could use a battery.  With this recommendation the use of fossil fuels will drop.

Positive Consequences:
1. The recommmendation will lower pollution levels every year.
2. Every single everyday person can get access to all of these objects.
3. There will be less use of fossil fuels.
4. The goverment will pay to switch over the cars to hydroelectricity, battery, and solar powered from gas powered .

Negative Consequences :
1. Water levels will drop every year.
2. The eletircitycould cause sparks and blow up.
3. The solar panels might over heat the vehicle.
4. People will complain because the citizens will not want to give up their gas powered vehicle.
