REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity GenerationMicro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
Lori Naeger 4/10/2018 11:39 AMWhile researching I found a ton of countries around the world who widely participate in Micro Turbines. I have seen more and more turbine farms popping up in Illinois on my travels home. It is my hope that Missouri and the City of St. Louis will find a way to utilize this form of energy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWomen and GirlsHow are people responding to the statistics you're sharing on social media?
Lori Naeger 4/10/2018 11:27 AMI got a couple likes on the article and my post" Did you know! Equality exists when women and men have access to quality education, resources and productive work in all domains, and when they are able to share power and knowledge on this basis.
Educated mothers mean healthy children. A child born to a mother who can read is 50% more likely to survive past age 5.
Each extra year of a mother’s schooling reduces the probability of infant mortality by 5% - 10%." Wishing for more interest.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodNow that you know the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates, how will you view expiration dates differently?
Lori Naeger 4/04/2018 2:25 PMI will view them as a suggested date of quality, not a date of expiration. It is sad to hear that there is not a standard in the food industry so consumers know what the dates mean and not have to guess.
