PROJECT_2

GROUP : Mary, Liz, Ben

(liz and me with ben's sketch)

Topic : peak oil



WHY : according to geologists, we have reached the peak of the earths oil. this does not mean that we are running out of oil per-say but what it does mean is that the cost to extract oil will be more than the return on the investment. this issue is very controversial, even for environmentalists. we plan on making in interactive map where by the viewer can see the use of a reserve... project cost per year... shedding light on an issue is the first step to creating social change. by creating an interactive piece it cause the viewer handle the information physically, it becomes concrete.
