Slide2: 

Earth Science for Everyone! ● Exciting topics ● Relevant for All students (science literacy and future scientists) ● Career opportunities ● Opportunity to contribute to critical societal needs ● More important than ever

Slide3: 

Earth Science for Everyone! Critical societal issues, now and into the future: ● Natural Resources (water, energy, etc.) ● Natural Hazards (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunami, floods, etc.) ● Protecting the Environment (global warming, air and water pollution, toxic waste isolation, urbanization and industrialization, recreation on public lands, etc.) All of these issues directly involve the Earth Sciences!

Slide4: 

Natural Resources - Energy US uses ~21 million barrels of petroleum/day!

Slide5: 

The potential for conservation: Energy saved (1/4 ton of coal) through use of an energy efficient lamp (compact fluorescent lamp)
