                      The gas that fuels your cars actually comes from the remains of living organisms and is referred to as fossil fuels. This process, better known as anaerobic digestion, occurs when microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels are typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years. Although fossil fuels are continually being formed, they are generally considered to be non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form.

Electricity is a vital resource for humans, but it comes with a cost to our environment. With the world's population constantly growing, it's important to explore alternative, sustainable energy sources to power our daily lives. In this series, you will learn about these sustainable energy sources and how they are helping us move towards a world powered by solar energy.

A Solar Powered World

In 2012 we created Luci®, an inflatable solar light, with the goal of making an affordable clean energy product that people could use in any situation — from outdoor camping adventures to backyard parties to everyday living for people in developing countries without electricity.Luci taps into a source of light that’s limitless and readily available to everyone on our planet — the sun. Advancements in renewable tech have given us the means to literally put the power of the sun into a device that fits in the palm of your hand.
