02.15.01 Ma startup contribue à l'objectif 'Vie Terrestre'

7 - tout à fait d'accord

02.15.02 Justification de la contribution de ma startup

Solar energy is a renewable source of power that supports life and land in many ways, including: Climate change: Solar energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps mitigate climate change, which protects humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. Air quality: Solar energy can improve air quality. Water use: Solar energy reduces water use from energy production. Photosynthesis: Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use solar energy for photosynthesis, which produces oxygen and chemical energy stored in glucose. Herbivores get energy from eating plants, and carnivores get energy by eating herbivores. Without photosynthesis, Earth would have little food or organic matter, and most organisms would disappear. Climate and weather: Solar energy drives Earth's climate and weather systems, heating the planet and creating temperature gradients that drive atmospheric circulation patterns. This distribution of heat helps shape ecosystems, weather patterns, and the distribution of life on Earth.
