Type Air pollution. | Label it Air pollution. |
Add a sibling node to Wind and label it Clean Energy. | Next, add a child node to Wind and label it Clean Energy. |
Select Clean energy node. | Let’s select it.
Clean energy is different from fossil fuel energy. |
Press the Insert key.
Type Windmills for node text. |
Let’s Type Windmills as a child node to the Clean Energy node. |
Click on File, Save map. | Click on File, Save map to save the map. |
Choose Desktop folder. | I will save the file in the Desktop directory. |
