AbstractAbstract

I chose my topic of Nashville because I knew there was a lot we could change in Nashville with carbon footprint. I chose carpooling, rain gardens, and recycling because they are three major thing we could change in Nashville. I conducted my research by looking up good websites. I tried to see which were true and which were false. I chose the websites that I did because they were true and they gave a lot of good information about my topics.

I chose electronic slide show because I like technology and I knew it wouldn't be too hard because I know how to use these slide shows. I created my project by using keynote so I had to put everything correctly on each slide to make the slide show.

My project relates to the real world because carpooling, rain gardens, and recycling are real thing that can help Nashville become a green place.
