Renewable energy comes from sources that are naturally replaced, like sunlight and wind. Solar panels capture energy from the sun and change it into electricity. Wind turbines spin when air moves across their blades, generating power for homes and schools. This clean power can run things we use every day without creating smoke from fossil fuels. Communities install batteries to store extra energy for cloudy or calm hours. Engineers are also improving grids so electricity can be shared quickly where it is needed. With smart choices, renewable energy can keep neighborhoods powered while reducing pollution.

stuff in our lives
solar panels and wind turbines
household appliances and devices like lights, refrigerators, and phones
