11、,he could find out how much sunlight the location receives each day.Based on how much sunlight it receives,he found that his school building was the best location.At the suggestion of his science teacher,DebbieWheeler,he first performed an energy calculation of the science lab to see how much energy

12、 a typical lab uses per day.Then,he started his research,contacting a local company of solar panels,SynergyHome,to do the job.He lacked money for starting the project,so he convinced Sayres head to support him after explaining the benefits of solar power for the school and community.Since Sayre prov

13、ided the initial seed money to provide infrastructure (基础设施) and the purchase of one panel,the project has grown to include a total of 30 panels.They are expected to produce enough energy to run all the science labs on campus.“It feels like a dream to think that an idea I had from my AP Environmenta

14、l class would have this kind of influence,” said Stewart,expressing gratitude for Wheelers help.Wheeler said the success of the project was due to Stewarts efforts and willingness to follow through on the project from start to finish.“Ive had other students talk about environmental initiatives (倡议)

28、 NatureFoodstudy.While the health effects of microplastics are still unknown,parents can significantly reduce their infants exposure by adding some steps to their bottle preparation routine,Bolandsaid.He recommended letting plastic bottles cool completely after sterilization (消毒) in hot water,then w

29、ashing them out at least three times with water thats been allowed to cool to room temperature after being sterilized by boiling.Researchers here also found that plastic teakettles,plastic instant noodle cups and plastic food storage containers all released similarly high levels of microplastics whe
