We get most of our electricity from power plants. Electricity makes our lights, televisions, refrigerators, and technology work. But there is a problem with power plants – they fill the air with chemicals that cause health problems, air pollution and acid rain.These things are bad for the people and world, but we still need electricity.One solution to the problem is using wind energy. Wind turbines are huge windmills that capture the wind and turn it into a source for electricity and power. Wind turbines don’t pollute the air like power plants do. Wind energy will never run out as long as the sun shines and the wind blows! Wind turbines do have some problems, but it is one solution to the challenge of finding energy sources that don’t pollute the air.

One creature that lives at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is a giant clam. There are many different colors of giant clams. They grow up to four feet long and weigh more than 500 pounds. Giantclams attach themselves somewhere and stay there for their entire life. They eat plankton and algae. Giant clams are endangered because people use them for food, shells, and pets. Another type of creature in the Pacific Ocean is a giant sea star. Like giant clams, giant sea stars are large! These starfish grow up to three feet across. Also like giant clams, there are many different colors of giant sea stars. Similar to the giant clam, giant sea stars live at the bottom of the ocean. Unlike the giant clam, giant sea stars move around. They eat mussels, snails, and barnacles

A wildfire is a fire that destroys large areas of land. Sometimes they are called forest fires or grass fires. A wildfire can start in one second and then move at about 14 miles per hour! A fire needs three things to keep burning. Fires need something to burn, like dry wood and plants. Fires also need air and a heat source. Most wildfires are caused by humans providing the heat source. For example, a cigarette or an open campfire can spark a wildfire. Nature can also start wildfires from things like lightning or even the sun. Firefighters fight wildfires to try and prevent them from destroying homes and buildings. Every year, wildfires burn more than 5 million acres in the United States. In some ways, wildfires are good. They clear dead and diseased plants so that new plants can grow.
